"d !lm to 'give cheer to" others we should not expect a
ver: great measfi•re burselves, for, after all, the thing
that makes us feel 5eat about Christmas time is the
pleasure we can give others.
Fortunately in the smaller communities like Shelton
there, are none suffering for the necessaries of life and
no children •who vill be • wholly overlooked when Santa
passes by .on his mission of cheer. BUt there is even here
a field for those whom Christmas does not impose much
burden :tb gladden a few young hearts that they may
know of not s9 far away. They may find that there is
more in life than they had realized.
Thee Christmas spirit cames as a benefaction after
the worri:es of the year drawing near its end and as we
measure out the meed of happiness to others so can we
expect return. So let it be "Merry Christmas" to every-
body.•

New Year to follow• The Baptist ChriStmas tree enter-
tainment was held on Thursday eve-
[ning and the Sunday school pupils
rewarded far their diligence of ser-
vice during the year.
Just to illustrate how easily the years roll by without
i . . °
not ce we might mentmn that the Journal closed its 34th
fear and entered its 35th two weeks ago without a jar.
Its first issue was on Christmas day of 1886, and some-
where in the past Father Time has rushed two weeks on
us. This year we caught him in the act, as there will be
53 Fridays in 1920,giving our subscribers an extra num-
ber for good measure.
Some of our ladies, young and not=so, might be
reminded that the golden opportunity is waning and onlr
)ne week left of this leap year.
i , "BLUE SKY" LAW NEEDED
A "blue sky" law has been drafted for presentation
to the next legislature, aimed at all fake stock selling
and grafting schemes by which the gullible public is
swindled and fellows with easy consciences make a fat
living. It is a safe rule that anything real good in the
way of investment does not need to be peddled around
in the rural districts• It is merely one of the many ways
in which the rural population is bled of its cash to sup-
port the big cities.
AMERICAN TOYS
The Christmas shopper with time
to be curious, and sufficient interest
to check up on the toy situation,
must be agreeably surprised to find
that, although German and foreign
toys are again on display, the great
bulk of the holiday array is "made
in U. S. A."
Toy-making has become one of this
country's most substantial industries.
Of $100,000,000 w0r.th of toys sold
here during the last year, $80,000,000
worth were manufactured in the
United States. An increase of 30
pro' cent is prophesied for nex year.
It is comfortable to tealm that the
American toys are of better quality
than the Gernmn toys of pre-war
days. In fact, their excellence and
ingenuity have both greatly increased
the market for them at home, and
introduced thm in large quantities in
many foreign lands which formerly
sold to us instead of buying from us.
The current American toy is not
wholly a plaything. It is used in the
schools for instruction purposes. Car-
pentry classes make doll houses
which sewing and art classes dec-
orate. Electric trains and steam en-
gines are used ,for boys in their
mchanical training, and many a
doll's wardrobe serves for first les-
sons in dressmaking.
I Even the toys strictly .for..use. in
the playroom are of stouter sfrugtre
and saner design. They carry, cha,
cealed in their entertaining features,
training for chubby finers and de-
veloping minds. .
LEST WE FORGET
Just a reminder to our subscribers
whose time is about expiring. The
Journal is adhering to the cash-in-
advance plan and doing its part to
stve waste and loss. Copies of the
]Pnaper are stamped with notice dur-
g month of expiration, and are
continued for the succeeding month,
when the names are removed from
the list and the paper stops if not
renewed. We cannot make excep-
tions to this rule and all subscribers
whether 01d or new, are treated
alike.
a Even without loss or waste the
Journal finds no profit in its sub-
seriotion department at the present
I
price, $2 a year, cash, nor any he e
OfJ
in sight fo: material relief 'during
' the coming year. Our next ton of
" print paper, due now, will cost us
!i- over three times the old figure, and
the highest price we have yet paid
for paper on which to print the
Journal. Naturally we have no wish
. to carry any unwilling subscribers
// and avoid needless ,losses until such
time as the newspaper finds some
relief.
Watch for the not{ce stamped on

[WINTER BEGAN TUESDAY
WEDNESDAY SHORTEST
COAL BILI,S WILL INCI{EASE
] BUT EI,ECTI{1C IAGHT BILLS
WILL DIMINISH
Although Tuesday was officially the
the first (lay of winter and brought
with it visions of increased coal bills
and cold mornings lhere is a' redeem-
ing feature at the occasion, for Wed-
nesday, according to Prof. F. W.
Hanawalt of the College of Puget
Sound, was the shortest day of the
year an([ beginning Thursday the
days will gradually begin to grow
longer and with the increasing
amount of daylight electric light
bills will diminish with the same
rapidity that coal bills increase.
The sun after its six months' jour-
ney to the southlands at 3:17 Wed-
nesday morning reached the farthest
point south and a few seconds later
started on its northward journey that
will bririg it nearer and nearer to
Puget Sound residents.
There is only a difference of a mat-
ter of a few seconds between the
length of Tuesday and Wednesday,
the sunrise for Tuesday being 7:54
and the sunset at 4:24 and the sunset
at 4:24. Sunset for Wednesday was
but a few seconds earlier while the
difference in the time of sunrise is
hardly perceptible,
The time between sunrise and sun-
set for Wednesday is ,8 hours and 29
minutes and another interesting fea-
ture for .Puget-Sound .esidents is
that-the sun on Wednesday rmes
