LOVE’S GIFT 1 "
came to ub with the birth of Jesus
Christ, God’s Son and Man’s Savior’
When God gave His Son, He taught
us the real joy one may receive when
we give our gifts in love.
A loveless gift will chill and harden
a sympathetic soul and prepare a J
soil in which the seeds of hypocrisy
may grow and bear its selfish fruit.
A love gift will warm and Boften
the selfish soul and will fuse all man
kind into a Christian brotherhood.
Christ’s work and ministry was one
of love. Hence, we find the result
of His work, so vast, so far-reaching, !
so abiding, and so worthy of our emu
lation. The world is dying for a lit- |
tie bit of love! Who is withholding i
his or her bit of love, as he or she
serves?
A Merry Christmas and Happy New j
Year to All from

BRAZIL, TND._That the excuse for exorbitant prices for foodstuffs and
D other necessities of life Is flimsy is being illustrated In this little city in a
manner that is showing up the true buying power of a dollar in such u
fashion that Brazil is getting some na
tlon-wlde publicity, while the residents
of the city are benefiting from the
existing state of affairs.
Competition between rival grocers
and proprietors of meat markets Is
largely responsible for beating down
the cost of living here and it is con
tended that one can buy provisions in
Brazil cheaper than In almost any
city of its size in the entire country.
Farmers have been bringing their
apples and pears to the city to sell for
$1.50 a bushel, while sorghum has been on the market here at $1 a gallon and
fine strained honey has been selling at 25 cents a pound, the lntter aiding
materially during the recent sugar famine, which was on here as in other
places.
While about everything in the line of eatables has been at rock-bottom
prices recently, the following are a few of the prices that prevailed, an
argument that somebody is profiteering in other cities where higher prices
are charged:
Boiling beef, pound, 5 cents; young roast beef, 81-3 cents; beefsteak, 10
cents; veal chops, 25 cents; veal stew, 20 cents; hamburger, 10 cents; sausage,
12% cents; mutton chops, 22% cents; best breakfast bacon, 34 cents; hams, 33
cents; porterhouse steaks, 18 cents; potatoes, bushel, $1.90; Kansas flour,
sack, 24 pounds, $1.35; pears, bushel, $1.50; pure lard, No. 5 pall, $1.35; pork
chops, pound, 33 cents; pork steak, 30 cents; coal delivered, ton (bituminous),
$3425; best block coal, delivered, $4.40; cabbage, 10 pounds, 40 cents; bread,
standard loaf, 9 cents; toilet soap (15-cent cake), 5 cents; laundry soap, 5
cents; rent; modern five-room.house, $20; children’s shoes, 9 to 12 sizes. $1.98
to $2.69; women’s shoes, $2.48 to $4.98; men’s dress shoes, $2.98 to $4.98.
Low prices here ure not due to low wages. Girls at the furniture factory
are making from $18 to $30 a week and mnle labor is correspondingly higher.
