.THE LIMITED VOCABULARY
^ The inveterate statistician has fig-
'llreJ that the vocabulary of the av-
erage woman consists of about 80Q
words. Without any accurate know,
lodge, it may be estimated that the
average man is just about as re.
stricted in his verbal supply, save
for a smattering of technical and
mechanical terms which bring his
average up a little. Yet the English
language alone offers a range of tens
of thousands of words.
This being the case, why would
it not be a good Plan to devote
some of this winter’s study time to
acquiring a broader, more flexible
and Interesting vocabulary? Learn
one new word a day >s a good way
to begin.
An orator noted for his choice of
telling and effective words confessed
that this was not due to any natural
gift but was “the result of long hours
•pent in perusal of the dictionary
and books of synonyms.’’
A woman whose opportunities for
aducattion and contact with the world
are limited astonished people of wid-
er advantages by the range ot terms
which she used freely and correctly.
"It read the dictionary a good deal,’’
was her explanation.
Much time Is devoted to encourag-
ing Americans to study foreign lan.
guages. How many are truly famil.
lar with their own?
In the mastery of new words lie
amusement, education and culture. To
ba confined continually to the same
limited supply of ordinary terms and
phrases is like drinking stale water
or offering it to one’s friends when
a sparkling stream, invigorating and
refreshng, flows by the door.
cast a doubt upon the existence of the culture told President
Master by designating Him with an
X—a cross mark—for at this season
of the year, as probably at no other
time, does Christianity recognixe Him
and do obeisance to His name through
such actions as He has recommeuded.
If you haven’t time to write the name
of Christ, do not write the word at
all, for it is through the written and
not the spoken word that this sacri-
ligeous habit is practiced.
CRISIS REACHED IN
POHIBITION FIGHT
By Associates Press
Washington, Dec. 5.—A crisis in the
federal prohibition enforcement fight
has been reached, in the opinion ot
Commissioner Hayes, as disclosed to-
day in reports of the recent hearings
before the House appropriations sub-
committee. He asked 19,000,000 for
the next fiscal year for his department.
He said he was gratified with the
functioning of the enforcement ma-
chinery, and the co-operation of states
and counties.
The bootleg liquor business has
brought about a big Increase In coun-
terfeiting, Chief Moran of the secret
service, told the committee. He said
much of the counterfeit bills were be-
ing used to purchase whiskey.
The appropriations committee re-
ported the treasury supply bill today
to the House, with $9,000,0000 provid-
ed for prohibition enforcement.
Washington, Dec. 6.—Rural credits
legislation, said to have the approval
of administration' officials, was intro-
duced in the Senate and House sim
uitaneously today. It proposes to cre-
ate a farm credits department as part
of the present farm loan system, and
would make $60,000,000 available for
farm loans.

SUPERIOR DAIRY RATION AND SUPERIOR HEN

Dorsey Grain Company
Congress today in his annual report.
“There ia food in superabundance,
Mr. Wallace said, “and thia contrib-
utes to the prosperity of business and
industry for a time, but the inadequate
return which the farmer is receiving,
and has for three yearsfi inevitably
must result hi readjustments in the
number of people on the farms and in
the cities, which will not be for the
continuing good of the nation.”
There has been a great accelerated
movement of farmers, and especiaUy
farmers' sons from the farms to the
cities and industrial centers, the Sec-
retary reported, declaring that best
estimates “indicate that during July,
August and September twice as many
persons left the farms for the cities
as normally.’*
The Secretary renewed his recom-
mendation for rural credits legislation,
asserting that action should be taken
promptly to increase the maximum
which a Farm Loan Bank may loan
to an individual from $10,006 to $25,-
000. He advocated also a readjust
ment of the term loans may run, say-
ing a system should be established by
which the farmer could borrow for
periods of from six months to three
years. Creation of a new bureau of
home economics was urged by the Sec-
retary, to enable the department to
extend its efforts toward better eco-
nomic systems in the rural communi-
ty.
Another problem requiring immed-
iate attention, the Secretary said,
was “the necessity of working out
and applying a comprehensive plan
of protecting, regrowing and utilizing
our forests.” He declared forest leg.
islation should be enacted extending
federal cooperation to the states in
the protection of forests, coordinat-
ing state and federal service in the
growing and distribution of forest,
planting material, extending purchase
of timherland "as rapidly as the con-
dition of the Treasury will permit.’’
and covering intto national forests
some areas now comprised in Indian
reservations.
The Secretary reported good pro.
gress in organization of the Packers
and Stockyards Administrate and
the Grain Futures Administration, in
the campaign against plant pests, and
in the various other Jines of service
a in which his Department is interest-
ed.
This year would be a prosperous
year for agriculture, and consequent,
ly a prosperous year for the nation,
if the relationship of prices now was
such as existed before the war, Sec-
retary Wallace said. There has been |
some increase in pries of farm pro.
ducts, but there has not been much
improvement in the general relation-
hsip between the pries of the things
the farmer produces and the things
he buys.
Among the causes which contribute
to the abnormal relationship of
farm prices to the prices of other
things- Secretary Wallace mentioned
these:
Overproduction of many farm crops.
Continued high freight rates.
Maintenance of industrial wages at
near war.time levels.
Economic depression and depreciat-
ed currency in European countries.
Interference with the efficient func.
tioning of necessary industries.
Unreasonably high costs of dis-
tribution of some farm

LIGHT-SIX
SEDAN
*1550
When you buy a house you make «ure that the foundation, the walls and
the roof are constructed for permanence. Buy a motor car in the same way.
The sturdy body of the Studebaker Light-Six Sedan is an admirable ex-
ample of substantial body-building. It U constructed of the finest materials
and with a hi^gh degree of craftsmanship to give yean of satisfactory service
—no makeshift construction merely to meet a price.
Eight stout ash pillars, from floor to root, insure permanent strength and
rigidity. The four wide-opening doors are a real convenience in getting in
and out Broad windows provide clear vision in every direction.
' Seats are of generous proportions with deep springs to give lasting com-
fort. The upholstery is of mohair velvet plush, as durable as it is attractive.
The heater will give warmth and comfort on cold day*.
The Light-Six has proved its reliability on the highways of the world.
The ample power, quietness and remarkable flexibility of its motor are a
source of continuous satisfaction. It is easy to handle in traffic. Constant
gear shifting is unnecessary because it throttles down to a walking pace in
high gear. Vibration, which is so annoying in closed cars, is virtually
etfrokflfcd-
The low price is due to complete manufacture by Studebaker in one of the
moat modem and complete automobile plants in the world. Middlemen's
profits are eliminated and the savings are passed on to the buye. *
The name Studebaker stands for comfort, quality and durability.

By Associated Press
Dallas, Texas, Dec. 5.—A three-story
building in this city will be dynamited
or burned by local officers if present
plans are followed out, it was learned,
when arrangements were being made
products. officials to wreck the place, which
is said to be a “booze den.”
A raid wag conducted Sunday on the
place and one of the largest stills
ever captured was taken into custody.
Officers claim that the entire build-
ing is “piped and wired” in a way
that makes it impossible to clean it
out without completely wrecking the
building.
According to chemists, the whisky
seized in the raid proves out bad, and
the digGMers used the carcasses of
dead animals to make it ferment
quicker. It is believed that between
500 and 600 gallons of the whisky has
been sold in the city for Christmas
celebrations.
Federal Agent Charles Beck wired
Director Morris for permission to de-
stroy the (building. The still was lo-
cated on the third floor of the build-
ing, which members of the raiding
party reported as a booze soaked
structure.’’
