The nearest approach to real happiness
comes from a life in the open country
where man is free to do as he pleases and
is not a slave to the time clock or conven-
tion of his neighbors. Here he enjoys every
minute of life hunting fihing and pur-
suing any of the hundred and one pas-
times found in the open country. It is
around such an existence as the above

Hurry mother! Even a airk child
loves the "fruity" taste of "Cali-
fornia Fig Syrup" and It never faiN
to open the bowels. A teaspoonful t'-
day may prevent a nick child tomor-
row. If constipated bilious lever-
ish fretful has cold colic or if stom-
ach is sour tongue coated breath
had remember a good cleansing of
the little bowels is often all that is
necessary.
Ask your druggist for genuine
"California Fig Syrup" which has di-
rections for babies and children of all
agvs printed on bottle. Mother! You
must say "California" or you may
get an imitation fig syrup. 11-4

"We Are Ready. Santa."

The minister made a jolly pl'imp
Farita Claws and the little ones waif-
cd lief ire him in breathless eager
suspense. Suddenly one little voice :
piped up "Are you coming to our
house Santa?" Immediately there
wns a chorus "I've been good ir.;
.you coming to my house?" rr..s!!y
I one little girl cried "We worked hn:i j
' and c'-aned all up for you Santa. :
i Are ynu coming to our house to-
I night?" '
I The Inst chi'd had the right idea j
j and I think there must have been a

time are done by mothers for chil-
dren when the ideal way is to do
them with the children. In that way
there are never any fussy restless!
bothersome children but a willing in-
terested unselfish group of young-
sters having the real spirit of the
day.
"Where's the pretty things?" wail-
ed a five-year-old daughter as she
surveyed the dining table on a holi-
day. "I haven't had time to get the
usual decorations" replied the hur-
rying mother. Then noticing the
disappointment on the child's face
"he sut'g'Tfed "Ynu know where I
keep them in the attic; why don't
von get them and arrange th ni for
me?"
The little girl trotted off happily
and mu'h to her mother's FC'Tet sur-
prise did get the simple nanKins and
crepe paper runners and fiagi and
placed them very dain'ily on the
table. The proud ric'ight i f the
child was a revelation to the mother
and after that she always said a few-
days before a holiday "Well daugh-
ter we must soon be getting ready
to make a nice holidny and have
everything clean and pretty." Then
would follow plans for a few simple
ways the child could help.
the best Christmas of all to the
children would be the one when they
helped make table decorations hains
and paper flowers for the tree help-
ed pack the box of fond or clothing
and gifts for the unfortunate ones

The only iriticism have to offer
on the Hoard of City Development is
that they have not properly cultiva
ted the community spirit and cooper
ation of the people of the city. We
are not aura even that such a criti-
cism is due them or the fault that we
do not have a proper community spir-
it is entirely chargeable to their ac-
count. However they have the op-
portunity to cultivute that spirit and
should make the most of it. We are
fully convinced of the correctness of
the fundamental idea back of Hoard
of City Development as against othor
forms of organizations. Ita main
weakness ha been in securing the
cooperation of the mass that ia nec-1
essary to a proper community spirit.
We believe that is due more to ths
attitude the Board assumes than to
the system or the citizens of the
town. In those cities having a Board
of City Development where the board
has been careful to cultivate the
community spirit and mass idea the !
board has been a splendid success
and is functioning satisfactorily.
Unless the board is careful to cul-j
tivate and keep alive a proper com-1
munity spirit there is a tendency on j
the part of the citizens to delegate;
their public duties for the welfare of I
the city to the board to perform for!
them and in their stead. A sort of
proxy theory. It is wrong in theory!
and in practice and will woik out to !

and the city lie ia a paid offner
and should give his entire tune to

cess or failure of the hoard will he
largely measured by the ability of
the secretary to live up to the im-
portant duties of his office and his
ability to rordinate and use all the
resources of the city in obtaining
the object and purposes for which
the board was created. --Sweet water
