Again the merry Yule-tide comes
The day of all the year;
The pealing bells, the mistletoe
The blazing Yule-logs cheer
Proclaim the Christmas festival;
now let every voice
In accents glad His praises sing,
And heart rejoice.
May each heart beat with quickened love
This anniversary
That marks that holy day Of days
The Prince of Peace was born,
That all should dwell in unity
That earth should know no war
may the white-winged dove of peace
Brood DER evermore!
May each heart beat with quckened love
For and bird and beast
Remembering Him who minstered
Unto the very least
And humblest of Fathers flock,
Who marked the sparrows fall,
Who a Babe was Graded with
The cattle in the stall.
And now as loving messages
And precious gifts abound
And at the hosptable board
The loving cup goes round,
What nobler gift to offer Him.
Today, with willing mind,
Than grateful hearts filled with true love
For bird-beast-all mankind?
-Louella c. Poole

The Almighty is progressive. If He were not
He would never have created this earth and set the
thing in motion. Adam was a standpatter, but his
wife progressive. However he found himself
unable to withstand the progressive sentiment of
his times and he too, became progressive. To
Adams wife indebted for the knowledge of
good and evil. TO dear old Mother Eve we owe the
fact that this earth of ours is not Garden
of Eden for the idle rich. Drones who have nothing
to do but dly daily away their time and cry over
spilled milk may bemoan the loss of Eden and the
fall of man. but the busy workers will rejoice
in the consciousness that when Adam fell he fell
up. At least he did not lose the ability and grit
to climb. F Poorman

To say that the United States must fight Japan
for control of the sea, some of our armament
promoters have claimed, is the acme of idiocy
There is nothing to fight over and nothing is set.

to every conner, and there is space for a thousand

Don't put your name down and your money
up, and then let go
Catch hold firmly and pull with the rest
Bet under and lift; don't be a leaner
Don't be kicker a knocker.
Don't be a drone a igurehead.
Give your home stores chance
BE real, live, red not enthusiast.
Help your own town hr7t.-W. d. Wilmot.

Every government exists by the consent of the
governed, and people get about the kind of gov.
eminent they deserve. They deserve Just what they
vote for, and, having declared themselves officials
are slothful servants If they do not give it them
Tariff for revenue only is the slogan OF the next
four years

Sefshness is not living as one wishes to live;
it is asking others to live one wishes to live
And unselfishness is letting other peoples lives
alone, not interfering with them. Selfshness al
ways aims at creating around it an absolute uni
formity of type. Unsehshness recognizes infinite
variety Of type as delightful thing, accepts it,
acquiesces in it, enjoys it.-Oscar Wilde.
