CHRISTMAS

N RATIFYING indeed is the response
tE to Santa Claus request for vol
~ unteers who will help him pro-
vide a Merry Christmas for the young
folks. The Y. NJ. C. A building will
be used for the festivity, and The Her
aid, which is acting as Santa Claus
advance agent and steward, will also
act as his master of ceremonies. AL
ready many citizens have promised
their aid, and the success of the Christ
mas festival is assured. But we wish
to make it as BIG a success as possible.
A mere ordinary success won't do. In
Los Angeles, where a brisk pace has
been set for everything and everybody.
it must be a success that will be a rec
ord breaker, or it will not count There
fore, we intend to make the Christmas
festival the biggest of its kind that has
ever taken place in this city.
We intend to astonish Santa Claus.
We wish to put him in a mood for
telling people in other cities that he
now realizes he can retire at any time,
for there are plenty of first rate Santas
in Los Angeles who can take his place
as leaders of cheer-up philanthropy.
The Herald will take pleasure in ac-
knowledging all contributions to the
Christmas fund, and in letting the pub
lie know the names of all the people
with Christmas hearts who will help in
one way or another, directly or indl-
rectly, to make the festival successful.

The WORD

Today, whatever may annoy
The word for me is JOY, just simple joy;
The joy of life;
The joy OF children and of wife;
The joy of bright blue skies;
The JOY of rainI the glad surprise
OF twinkling stars that shine at night;
The Joy of winged things upon theii
flight;
The joy Of noon day, and the tried
True joyousness of eventide;
The JOY of labor. and of mirth;
The joy of air, and sea, and earth
The countless Joys that ever flow froA
Him
Whose vast benehcence doth dim
The lustrous light OF day,
And lavish gifts divine upon our way
VVhate'er there be OF Sorrow
ri put off till Tomorrow,
And when Tomorrow comes, why then
Twill be Today and Joy again.

Democratic party intends to do" The
Democratic party intends to preach
and practice the first principles OF
Americanism and to build up a mill

United States from the peril of being
a one party country, condition which,
as the histories of various South Amer
lean republics shows, is a menace to
