THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

One of the finest examples Of the
Christmas spirit is shown in the
movement that inspired the sending
Of the United States collier Jason to
Europe laden with Christmas gifts for
children in belligerent countries from
children in the United States. The
idea originated with the Chicago Her.
aid. 1t was adopted by many Amer
lean newspapers, and in response to a
public appeal, gifts came pouring in
from all sections of the United States
as we'll as from other countries. A
ship of the American navy was select
ed to carry the unusual cargo, and
when it arrived at its first European
port on November 25 it received a
royal welcome. Of this cargo less
than 9 per cent were toys, and in
cluded in the 100000 gifts were
millions Of articles of clothing, shoes,
sweaters, caps, stockings, underwear,
shawls, gloves, mittens and dresses of
every kind. These gifts will be dis
tributed in Germany, Austria, Bel
GUM, Russia, France, England, Serv-
ia and Montenegro.

MUSICAL NOTES

At the Annual Christmas program
of the Spencerian Business College
given on Wednesday, the orchestra,
directed by Ralph Harrington, gave
several selections and was enthusias-
tically received by the entire student
body.
The cantata given by the Baptist

been engaged by the Litchfeld Farm
ers' Institute to give a concert on the

The music on the program at the

was enjoyed greatly by those in at
tendance. The orchestra adds much
to the inspiration Of the services at
this church and the members of the
church greatly appreciate their SER
vices so kindly given.
Mrs. Zoe Prouty Boult assisted in
a cantata given by the choir of the
Fir't Presbyterian church of Piqua
last Sunday, which is under thedirec-
ton Of Harry Ferguson, formerly of
Medina. Mr.. Charles Rickert, we'll
known baritone Of Wadsworth, was a
soloist also.
The song service at the Methodist
church Sunday night was well at

the service the choir pleasantly sur
prised their leader by presenting him
