A MERRY CHRISTMAS

Another year has rolled around and
the Christmas holiday season is again
here. While many changes have been
wrought since last Christmas, the IuIe'
tide season repeats Itself in the same
spirit that has predominated the hearts
of men since the ancient day when the
birth of Christ brought forth this glad
day. =.
The song of the angels to which the
shepherds of Bethlehem listened nearly
two thousand years ago, was song OF
ioy and peace, heavens gift to earth
It meant for every heart 10y, Tor
every soul in trouble, peace.
The spirit of Christmas is JOY and
peace. Its message is from the heart
of the heavenly father. He so loved
that He gave. From his own eternal
being He sought gift for man, he
found it in His son. 1t was his all; 1t
was Himself He gave. How should
He present such gifts? How could man
receive it? He came as babe. The
sweetest thought in the human soul Is
babe and mother. These tenderest OF
human emotions He awoke in the heart
of man as a means of presentation OF
this gift of JOY and peace.
As we commemorate this day OF
gladness, We do it best if we. as did
the angels, enter into the spirit OF
"peace on earth, good will to men.
This joy and peace was for the sorrow
burdened and soul disturbed.
Know you a heart that aches, an eye
that fills with tears, life bleak, bare
and needy, soul care-worn and weary!
To such the message is, JOY and peace,
ourselves the bearers, givers to others
of our own joy; by our own presence
making radiant the darkness as did the
angels make light the night about the
shepherds of Bethlehem.
The spirit of Christmas. Hallowed
memories around thee gather. Day of
gifts! Day of wondering delight as
ehildhood's eyes explored the stockings
depths and drew therefrom its treasures;
precious beyond intrinsic value; for
freighted was each gift with friend
ships dear.
"Peace Oh Earth. Good VIII to Men. "

Have you eaten a dasheen? No?
Well, YOU will be calling for them soon
If they ale as good as President Taft
and the National Geographic Society
say they are.
In word, dasheen is a tuber about
as large as potato, with nutty flaw
or and double the protein of the Irish
potato. The government has expert
mented with its cultivation since it
was introduced here by George Camp,
bell, of Kiaying, China, little more
than year ago.
According to the Department of
Agriculture, the most appetizing form
of the plant is that grown in certain
parts of Japan, and is known as the
Trinidad
This dasheen yielded at the expert
mental station an average of seven
pounds to the hill, or at the rate OF
fifteen tons to the acre.
1t thrives best in the wet soil of the
Gulf states, and its introduction will
enable farmers to utilize vast areas of
hitherto useless land.
In time the dasheen may rival the
potato.-Chicago Examiner.
