Secret of Happiness
The pursuit of happiness is the in
alienable right of man. A happy
christmas is the inalienable right or
all children.
The laws of nature and the constltu-
ton of the United States give this
privilege to every man who has the
spunk to work for it and to claim IL
when he has earned it. 1t is the duty
of the community to see that no child
is cherries on Christmas day.
That is why The Herald has under
taken the stewardship of the funu
being raised for the big Christmas
feed, entertainment and distribution.
Happiness, the kind that won't rub
off, according to the best philosophy,
consists mainly in making other happy'
That being conceded, here is an oppor-
tunity for everybody to share in the
joy.
Contributors are comforting a lasting
happiness on themselves, are helping to
keep crime down and are fulfilling the
advice of the sages of old in seeing that
no child is forgotten by Santa Claus.
