amusing and all together winning little

though young, did splendid work and
certainly showed marked ability along
this line.
The directing and training was given
them by Mr. Ryan and each one showed
especial care and thought.
The play was thoroughly enjoyed by
all who witnessed it and the class has
snug little sum to its credit

A report from Toledo states that
extensive preparations for the install
lation of the most improved and latest
bottllng machinery are now being made
by officials of the Beard Hills Mineral
Springs Company, of Toledo, o., at
the company's spring, located fifteen
miles west of Port Huron IN the heart
of a picturesque country.
1t is planned by Charles Griffin and
John W. Speckert, Of Toledo, who own
the controlling stock, to bottle about
1000 cases of halfgallon bottles
a week to start with. This capacity
will be gradually increased as business
grows. The first car load of water,
which has been named "Avoca" after
an old Indian settlement near Port
Huron, was quickly disposed of at
Toledo. The officials of the company
have decided to erect fine plant near
Port Huron which will furnish employ
ment to about fifty people at the be-
ginning. Bids for the erection and for
the machinery will soon be asked for.
Ii is planned to make this a model
mineral water plant-one OF the finest
in the middle west. The company is
capitalized at S25,0OO

what of Your Christmas Spirit ?

What of Your Christmas SpiritS
The spirit of Christmas, as the ideal
lists have it, is not recognizable by the
real thing. according to modern meth
DDS.
Theoretically everything is bright,
gay, full of peace for oneself and good
wishes for the rest of the world.
Actually Christmas may mean any
thing like this
Grudging giving and discontinued re-
ceiving.
Splurglng on ones rich friends and
stinting where it is not likely to count.
Overgenerosity to the point of ex-
travagance.
Rushing until you detest Christmas
and everything connected with it.
Overworked nerves and overwrought
tempers from false conception Of
Christmas giving
A generous spirit for your own Inn
mediate circle and utter indifference
to whether any one else has happy
day.
Gorging oneself in the interest of
Christmas cheer with no thought OF a
tortured digestion and rockiness Of the
day after.
A Christmas with not one thought to
the real meaning of the day and what
the world would have been had there
been no birthday Of king to cele-
brate.

Thousands of Motorists VIII
Pass Through Topeka.
Season Will Break Traffic Rec
Ords, Is Prediction.
ROADS ARE BEING DRAGGED
Golden Belt Route Is i'm Excel
lent Condition.
State Association Is Issuing a
Log Book.

Thousands of motorists will pass
through Topeka this season. The next
six months will break all records in
respect to auto traffic, at least this is
the prediction of the officials of the
Kansas Automobile association and of
the Topeka Motor league.
The agitation that commercial or
CARNATIONS and motor clubs have
made in Kansas in the last year or
two has already resulted in the decid-
ed betterment of roads.
The Golden Belt route from Kansas
City to Denver is being kept in excel
lent condition; in fact not more than
five miles of the road between Topeka
and Kansas City has not been dragged
in the last two weeks. This is due to
the influence of local clubs. Golden
Belt signs have been placed along the
road all the way from Kansas City to
Denver, and it might be of interest to
note that they were for the most part
made by a local firm.
New Tax Will Help.
The officials of the Kansas Automo-
bile association have figured it out
that with the funds that will be
turned in to the county through the
new five dollar auto tax it will be
possible to drag every road in this
county at least a dozen times a year.
the condition of the thoroughfares.
1t is understood that $4.25 of the
SIS turned in by motor car owners will
go towards the making of good roads.
Within the next few months it is
expected that the autoists of nearly
every state in Kansas will be organic
Sd by D. e. Watkins, secretary of the
Automobile association. Every
week new counties are falling in line.
This will be another factor in advanc
ing the movement for better thorough
fares.
A log book of all the auto routes in
the state is now being published in
Topeka. 1t was compiled by Secretary
Watkins. 1t will contain valuable
maps that will be of aid to the tourist
in Kansas. Each member of the state
will receive a copy of the
book.
