It was Christmas Eve and his last furlough. What should he do with himself? And he didn't even have a bed. A sign on a door read "Bundles At for America," and he went-ia desk a woman was warning, "Miss Rigsby, don't shove the candy into these stockings too hard. The net " v,--t Mf qfferrU Hybrid Corn Nearly two acres out of every three of the corn crop this year have been planted to hybrid corn, according to the department of agriculture estimate. In the corn belt proper the proportion is much greater. The corn planted this year was mainly in areas where breeding has not been pushed so rapidly because the crop is less important For that reason, well adapted hybrids are not yet available in some of these areas, and in others there is not enough of the superior seed corn to supply the WHEN we see little boys and girls with Santa Claus this thought comes to mind : We would like our expression of appreciation for your patronage to be a hearty shake of the hand for each of you.

"I'm sorry." Miss Rigsby's hands fluttered. "I I guess I don't do much good." Private Kane figured she must be seventy. The young woman urged, Be sure to see the Basket Ball Game at Bear River December 28th "You'd better go home now. It's dark. You've helped a lot, really." She informed Private Kane, "Homes Registry 244 Market Street will get a room for you." Then added, "Merry Christmas." At the door he stood looking out. That was a Merry Christmas! laugh. Christmas meant home and he'd never had one. Not that he hadn't appreciated the orphanage. But he was to be shipped soon and perhaps perhaps he might never know what a home was like. His Army buddies wore mittens knitted by mothers, sweaters by aunts. They whisked out family pictures, pictures of sweethearts. And he he had nothing! His chest hurt him, and his cough was harsh. "Liniment's good for that, sol- dier." It was the little lady. Her black hat sat high on her head. He thought, her ears will be cold. "Rub your chest and put flannel over it."

His eyes-h- ow they twinkled! his dimples how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow; The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath chubby Christmas INDEPENDENT FOR YOUR MANY EVIDENCES And I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself; A wink of his eye and a twist of his head Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread; He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he ro'e; He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

She was the kind who mothered everybody. "You you could sleep at my house," she said timidly. "You maybe have an en gagement first" What could he lose? But as he helped her into a taxi he regtetted his impulse to accept. , The driver stopped in front of a toy of a house. Snow peaked the fence posts and waj like crushed diamonds on the walk. She opened a door into the kitchen, and Private Kane looked around at the fancy lamp with glass prisms, the elegant silver canister on the worn red and white checked tablecloth. "Where's everyone?" he asked. "I live alone." Her blue eyes were apologetic. "I told you you'd better go on and have a Jolly Christ- mas Eve" He lifted a stove lid on the range. A red glow flickered. He dumped in coal and opened the drafts with an authoritative flip. "It'll be cozy in no time. Better getcha some I" 'fc7 I sir .... a 5 "Yon conld sleep at my house," she said.

He stopped before a fir. "Let's buy it." Private Kane smiled as he set his purchases down at the door. "You wait here a minute." Of course, he reminded himself, this was only having a home. Just the crumbs. He had bought her a fleecy blue scarf when he asked her to wait Back at the house he set the table. The silverware was carved with cherubs. "Gosh, that's swell hardware." After supper they trimmed the tree. "Tinsel's a little tarnished," she said. "Oh! The.angell" She held it tenderly. "Pa always fastened it on the very top."

After the war, I mean." She pushed a round fat object Into his hand. "It was Pa's. I want you to have It" Private Kane sat up. "Me?" he breathed. "Me." The watch was heavy and solid. He turned It over, observing the grand manner In which it was carved. "Thanks. Aw, make-believ- e gee" "Merry Christmas," she beamed. "Merry Christmas to you." Once more his eyes swept the m. Home!
