WASHINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA, DEC. 36, 1916. The Community Christmas tor** 1qu a glorious sncoes> Tki* m d?e ta the various r?l mittens, who h?d the matter in ofeaif* and tie gsoeiosifty of tbe cititene aa a whole. It will be a long time heftae the Christmas tree Will be forgotten and it will undoubtedly be re peated next year. The members of the finance committee, composed of prominent ladies-ef the city, are to be especially commended for tibar^wark* for witbvut their aid, the tree would have been far from being the success thj?it was. Practically everyone of the local merchant* enjoyed a greater Christmas trade thia-year than ever before. This is due principally to the fact that the people are "trading at home" and are graclualh forgetting the mail dWlcr houses. This is as it should be and we hope to see the day when* a mail house order will be a rarity. And now that the* Christmas joys are over. Father will have to get on the job and m&fce his bank .account and his bills line up. But why talk about unjjiaaaant things! The first of the year is still long w&v off. tttTSIC FOR THE MULES. Every once in a while some person comes forward with new idea* regarding the worki^s of this or that projocU We do it, and you do it yourself. The latest propositi is that if a phonograph is placed where a mule: can hear it and if a number of selections are played on the instru ment, the owner of the animal will have no difficulty in breaking it to harness. Giorge A. Gagv. ef Sutter county, California, is authority for the statement. Gage raises mules and horses. He has a big music box on his farm and he plays band pieces, preferably soothing melodies and waltzes, when he is breaking.his mule colts. ,4M\iles love musid," says Gage. "I discovered that ten years ago when I drove lienjamin Harrison?the orneriest old inule you ever saw?to Yuba City, where a brass band was playing. "The mule had one of his coutrarv spell# that dav and I could hardlv do a thing with Benjamin until we got to Yuba City. You'd never believe it, if 7 told you the change that just a few land se lections made in that animal. From that day until Benjamin's death he was the penrWt, lovimr old mulo vou would ever want to know. "That gave me an idea. When I break my mulo colls now, 1 always have the phonograph play. It *ecin? to attract the mule's at tention from the hurtles* and wagon. "Horses don't seem to be affected much, but mules are nearer hu man than horses, uny\vav." . Gage also avows that his chickejis like phonograph music, but would not go on record as saying that ragtime made the hens lay more egg*. TITE MUNICIPAL MARKET. Some few daj? ig6| wo published an editorial tm a new aystem of marketing whieli, in our opinion, would do much to help reduce tin cost of living. In jEvanaville, Ind., there is ;i system ?oinevhat similar in opera tion which is meeting with grout success. 'llie city itself acts as the middleman. Various food product* are purchased in lar^ro quan tities by the city and these are sold direct to the consumer?. On one day of last Week a carload of potatoes, a carload of cabbage and_2S5 dozen eggs w#re placed on sale by the city. The eggs were sold at 40 cents a dofen. Dealers of Evansville had been charging 50 and 60 centa. The potatoes were sold for $1.40 and $1.05 a bushel while local dealers were trying to sell the same quality for $2.00 and $2.25. Many other articles have been sold in this manner at a great reduc tion in price. The effect of the municipal market has born to ma terially reduce the cost of living. At the same time, local dealer were also forced to come down in thoir prices. Thi? plan is very similar to the one mentioned in these columns a few days ago. Tt inertly goea to show that, cities all over the country are endeavoring to find means for bringing down the cost of living and that those localities which a^e making no attempts in this direc tion are needlessly paying out large sums of money that might just as well be sav* d. Washington is in ths center of a great farming district. Ft would take little trouble to provide a marketing place where the farmers and the consumer* could get together on certain days during the week and where the housewives of the city could purchase their producc at a great saving. THE INTERNATIONAL SITUATION. Two boys are fighting. One, who is much larger than the other, appeam to be getting the beet of the fracas. Another boy is stand ing off to one side, anxiously watching the struggle. He has just planted a pretty little flower bed and he is afraid that the other?, in their wrestling, will fall on the flower* and ruin them. He is using h^s best effort* in trying to make them quit. And that is just about -as eloarly as we can "aire up" the present international situation. Compare the big boy to the allies: thes are-ftpparently getting the b?st of the war and are loath to quit. The Jittle Host?the Central Powers?realizing that he*^s about to be van quished, is ready to cry quits. The other boy, standing to one side, may b& compared to th* United States j afraid that hef rights will be violated; and endeavoring to end the war before she herself is forced to join in All tJlree believe that they are in the right Germany claim? that the allies should consider her propoaala for pear?, otherwiae t Kay will prove Ui the world that thoy themaelvBe are directly responsible for the war. The alliea. feeling confident <A victory, are loath to (riv tip the tpoila that would he their* if Germany and her confederate* were heeton into anbmlmion. The United Sta tea dmirea peace in order tint ahe may "prawn >e her flowera. and plant more." And fcat ia ahont tke way tke aitoation stand? at present. Shall the United State? oontiatw to maintain her "handa-oflf" policy, or .hall ?he iniiat that the war he ended in j notice to Wraeif and to her peo ple!
