CHRISTMAS AT BURTON
A Well Prepared Program was
Carried Out.
SONGS, REGULATIONS AND THBLEHUx
Everybody Lends Helping Hand And
Big Crowd Attended

The little village of Burton cozily
nestled among the rugged Grant hills
in the town OF Waterloo was the scene
of unusual Christmas festivities this
year. The spirit of ''Peaee on Earth,
Good will toward Men" seemed to
take possession of the whole commun-
ity and they joined heartily in the
Yuletide gathering, the like of which
was never seen in the village before.
The town hall was filled to over
flowing, and load after load were turn
ed away for lack of room. Everybody
lent a willing hand, and the saloon
keeper showed his interest by closing
his establishment so that no unseemly
drinking might mar the good order OF
the occasion.
Ed. Roschi was general manager,
Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. V. Mink had charge
of the musical part of the program
and led the choir composed OF them
selves, Ed. Roschi and wife, Rob't
Shaub and wife, Mrs. Doll. Mrs. Chas'
.Roschi, and John Elwell.
Too much praise cannot be given te
all who had parts for the earnest and
willing manner in which they did
their work.
