| What Good Reading Matter |
j; Means to the Children $
In some farm homes in which
I have been I have failed to
see a single paper or maga
zine. In others I have seen
only a newspaper or a few of
the cheapest trashiest, story
papers. The newspaper, of
course should be read in every
home.
I always feel sorry for the
child that grows up in a home
of this kind. The child who
does not learn to read—I do
not mean the chid who does
not learn merely how to read,
but the child who does not
learn actually to read, to turn
to books and current pulica
tion for information and recre
ation, is being deprived of a
part of his birthright. He is
being kept out of the world’s
greatest treasure house, is hav
ing the doors of the garden of
enchantment shut against him

homes where books were few
and little used, will never learn
to read. That is, they will nev
‘ er learn to turn to books for
I company when they are alone
for help when they wish to
find out something, for cheer
and comfort when they are
tired or worried.
But every child should learn
to do this. Every home should
have its collection of books,
and this collection should be
added to from time to time.
There is not a single reader of
The Journal who is too poor to
buy two or three good books a
year. There is not a reader
who can make a better invest
ment than to buy them. There
is not a reader who can spend
the time to better advantage
than in reading a few really
worth while books and interest
ing his children in them.
The same thing is true of
periodicals. Into every coun
try home there should come a
county newspaper, a semi
weekly review, or a daily news
paper, at least one good farm
paper and at least one good lit
erary magazine. This is a min
imum list the poorest farmer

Most farm homes should have
also a special woman’s maga- j
zine for the house-keeper and
a special young folk’s maga

er who has not at least this

at once. The reader who has
not already planned to buy a
few good books should begin
making his selection at once.
There are few more expen

RAISE MORE POULTRY
FOR NATION’S FODO
Poultry must be produced
next year in places where it
has not been produced before,
and everywhere that poultry
has been produced that pro
duction must be increased. It
is necessary that people in the
country and towns alike answ
er to this call. Farms and back
yards must both do their bit,
for the doubling of our poul
try production next year is an
indispensible item in the Na
tion’s food producton program
—a program which must be
carried out if we are to win
the war.
The meat supplies available
for European use are short.
Meat must be supplied if the
war is won—by the forces who
fight for freedom. The war
will be won if we fail in food
production—but not won by us.
We must understand what will
happen if we do not provide
enormous quantities of food
stuffs that the Allies can not
produce for themselves.
Are we going to feed our
army on chickens and eggs?
Of course not. But by greatly
increasing our production of
chickens and eggs ourselves,
we will, naturally, eat that
much less beef and pork. In
turn that beef and pork can be
sent to Europe
The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture calls upon
the country to double the poul
try production next year.

C> HOW WE GOT THE
y CHRISTMAS TREE fj |
I
P § y i «| i i II § i i
A pretty legend about the
origin of the Chrstmas tree
tells us that in the beginning
of the ninth century a certain
St. Winfred went to preach
Christianity to the people of
Scandinavia and northern Ger
many. One Christmas eve these
people were scattered round a
huge oak to offer a human sac
rifice, according to the druid
priests, but St. Winfred hued
down the great tree, and as it
fell there appeared in its place
a tall young fir. When St.
Wihfried saw it he cried to
the people that here was come
a new tree, unstained by blood,
which in pointing to the sky
showed them what they were
to worship.
“It is the Christ Chlid.” he
said, “Carry it to your castle
as your chief and in the future
instead of the bloody rites of
the druids, your worship shall
be in your own homes, with
ceremonies that speak the mes
sage of peace and good will to
all.”
