The great trees laughed in their low,

"hast Christmas," said Mr. Moon,
"I was ahout in my usual way, look-

particularly noticed the city streets.
"l'or some lime around the Christ-

places were lined with Christinas trees

"They wore everywhere. And thev

the city could have some Christinas

"K very one. looked so fiappy and ot

The trees of the gI'eoi woods bowed

"But I found 'out what made? the

"That was being able lo have n

'Some had lived near the woods

never known anything save the cities

Once again Hie trees of the deep
woods bowed and Mr. Moon added:

'■ I110 annual report of the secretary
* uf commerce for 11)28 called at-
tention to the unprecedented prosper-
ity of the United States. The report
directed special attention to hot h I he
volume and the liminclal value of in-
dustry in 1028 and stated that both
exceeded the records of all previous
years. Special attention was directed
to the automobile Industry which
reached Its highest peak of produc-
tion last year. Also, to the operations
of chain stores which are being es-
tablished ill many large cities. The
report emphasized the increase in
volume and value of farm products
which advanced 8 per cent over the
last decade. More new homes were
built and larger investments made in
staple securities. Taxes were perhaps
higher, but not in proportion to value.
Our exports were larger than at any
time since the war.
Of special Importance was the ref-
erence to the Increase in the total
saving deposits during the year. This
fact clearly indicates that many per-
sons have adopted a very definite pol-
icy, namely, not to spend all tlicit
Income, hut to "lay by iu store."
Prosperity may result in greater ex-
comes more of an economic liability
than an asset. But when economy, ex-
pressed in Increased savings and in
the building of homes is emphasized in
the same report which lauds our pros
perlty, If surely Is Indicative of a
sane, strong and praiseworthy, under-
current of thrift.

The three greatest books In the
, world are tlie Bible, Shakespeare and
u good dictionary.
Abraham Lincoln, who laid a pretty
good foundation of youthful reading,
had only one of these—the Bible. His
other books were "Aesop's rabies,"
"Robinson Crusoe." "The i'llgiim's
Progress." "A History of the United
States" jnd Weein's "Life of Wash-
ington." Not a very big library, but a
good one.
A good many young people think
that the Bible Is a dull book. The
reason they think so Is because they
have not rend It. Entirely aside from
being religiously valuable and the best
code of life that has ever been writ-
ten, I is remarkably Interesting.
No better love story was ever writ-
ten than the story of Kutli. No better
story of adventure than that which
leads up to the fight between David
and Goliath. No better poetry than
the f'salms or the Songs of Solomon
Head the story of the Israelites. No
modern novelist has touched it iu In-
terest. Read the book of Job for
first-class English and the Gospel
of Mark for number-one reporting
of what he saw and heard.
Don't think the Bible is uriinterest-
Ing.
Shakespeare, the greatest Individual
writer of till, time, should he read
every day. A yoqng.muti who rends
nil of Shakespeare lias tlic* basis for a
liberal (-duration. There is not" a use-
less sentence in all that lie wrote and
he touched every passion, every sei
.encc, every mood of the human mind.
The world of literature owes more to
Shakespeare than to tiny twenty other
writers ill all the languages of the
cnrtli.
And the dictionary,
use more words than
No man can
he knows und
®®®<® ®®®®® ®
to know a word is to be able to recog-
nize its various meanings and shad-
ings of meaning.
Do you realize how few words even
n well educated man knows? Less
than a thousand.
Uead a page of the dictionary and
see how many words there are on it
that yon never heard of.
By n careful reading of the diction-
ary for Ufteen ndnutes a day a man
can in n year double Ids vocabulary
und triple bis understanding of words.
But it Is of no use to read anything
unless while you read you think.
A man could eat a whole ox, but If
he did not digest it, it would furnish
him no more nourishment than as if
he had not eaten at all.
Thinking is mental digestion.
Be sure to think about what you
read, as you read It, If you want to
get the most out. of books and their
authors.
