.'On the Lehgh Valley road"
All things are in the market.
To increase the family joys,
Such sweet things for the ladies,
For the children lovely toys.
Books to suit your sweetheart,
Handkerchiefs for ma,
A red bob sled for brother,
A pair of gloves for pa.
Lay the cigarettes aside
Skip a drink or two,
On Christmas day spend one weeks pay,
And they'll remember you.
Beautiful weather for shopping.
PRESS.
The Editor Of the PRESS and his as.
sociates will receive their presents in
the PRESS sanctum between the hours
of and II Christmas day. The rest of
the day they will be eating if they are
invited.
The clergy and a portion of the
laiety of the town seem to think the
only club the town needs is the one
carried by Chief Mundy.

so poor in S5ippen township that to
keep them from crawling through the
knot holes IN the pen they tied knots in
their tails. that he does not always
believe i1l',Ie efficBcy of prayer. Ifhe
