cHRISTMAS GREETINGS
TO THE COMMUNITY
continued from page p

4 Christmas brings to memory the
4Glad Tidings of long ago, but not
Rfor long ago. Tho we do not hear
&the angels sing peace on earth
land good will to men, yet this
message had it's effect, for the
lChrist has given us data, we know
where to begin. He gave us prin-
ciple toward which to aspire. We
must recognize these two, as char
acteristic of the Christ. There
can be no thought of Peace with
out Christ for there was none be-
fore Him, for both the religious
and the secular were far from
peace, prior to his coming. 1t was
the business of His forerunner to
bring the hearts of the fathers
back to the children, and that of
the children to the fathers. This
marked the home life, and what
ever you find there you find in the
community and the government.
We can think of no life more adapt
for human aspiration than that of
the Christ to bring peace and
Good will. Take the individual
who has given himself up to
Christ and his principles, and he
is that man of peace and good will.
So the truth of the angels mes
sage holds good even today, re-
gardless of the war-stricken con-
ditions. May this Christmas with
it's plenty and peace, in our own
beloved land, bring Good Will to
every one, a will to be good as well
as to do good. May our prepara-
ton for defense mean will to be
good, as we'll as a means to dc
good. May it be said of us as 8
people that what we are in char
acter and aim speaks so loud, thai
people and nations cannot heal
what we say in powder and shot
If the angels song means any
thing it is this:
Put your hand into the hand O
your fellowman, and call hin
brother. May there ring out from
our pulpits therefore this gla'
note, that men may arise and seel
the Christ, and find in Him tn
King of their lives. Let us no
emphasize some denominations
phrase, not some congregations
tradition. but Christ, and what
ever is wrong in man He will max
right, by incarnating Himself i
our lives. Thank God for tn
Christmas of good wishes. Bu
above all thank God for tn
Christ to make a better life, ths
will bring peace and good will.

TREATMENT
OF THE SOIL
Announcement From Bacter-
iological Dept.

DR.. T. F. Manns, head of the de-
partment of Soil Bacteriology,
makes the following announce
ment: "The Department conduct
ing through an industrial fellow
ship, series of experiments
showing the value of peat humus
as a means of carrying beneficial
soil organisms. In this series of
composts there were twenty-three
different combinations tried out,
in many of which after three
weeks of composing, a very rich
bacterial flora was found. The
beneficial organisms were present
to the number of four hundred bill
lions per pound of moist compost
and different legumes grown upon
the compost showed incubation
within one month. The work in
dicates that various organic mat
ter may be placed on compost, and
when REINFORCED with proper min
eral constituents and inoculated
| with soil containing the bacteria
of different legume incubation, to-
eether with the organisms which
make up the beneficial flora, that
it is possible, in the one compost,
to carry all the beneficial soil
organisms.
1t has long been known that
manure or other organic matter
does not make the best fertilizer
or fertilizing material until prop
erly treated with lime, potash, and
phosphoric acid. In this series of
experiments, we have taken the
raw peat and reinforced it with va
rious mineral constituents which
not only balances the material for
valuable plant food but makes
it ideal for the growth of the va
rious beneficial bacteria, includ
ing the legume inoculating or
ganisms.

No Trolley Service
on Proposed Walnut
ST.. Viaduct Is Report

Trolley service between the western
half of the city and Allison Hill via

across the Pennsy tracks Is not con-

citizens, who boosted the passage of
the 100000 bridge loan, according to
William A. McIlhenny, one of the off,

According to reports from Pen
brook, borough officials and citizens
believe that the construction of the
bridge might mean better car service
but Mr. McIlhenny said to-day that
tracks across the structure had not
been considered. Proper service he
thinks will be provided by way of

Cleary Is Arrested on
Warrant Charging Larceny
"a .4Esoctated Press

Washington. D. c.. Nov. 4.-William
V. Cleary, former town clerk of Haver-
straw, n. Y, acquitted last January
OF the murder of his son-in-law,
Eugene NJ. Newman, after a sensa-
tional trial, was arrested here to-day
on a warrant charging larceny of $10,-
900 from the town of Haverstraw.
Cleary has been missing from
Haverstraw since an investigation of
the manner in which his murder trial
was conducted disclosed alleged ir-
regularities in his office. He was ar
rested by John McCullaugh, former
chief of police of New York.
Cleary's arrest was the elimination
of a chase which began last March
and took his pursuers to Bermuda,
Cuba, California and many cities in
the United States. Three months ago
Cleary returned to New York City
from the Far West for a few days and
before his movements there could be
traced he again disappeared. He spent
several weeks in Hoboken but eluded
detectives there and finally was To-
Gated last night.
