THE HOLIDAYS.

Thanksgiving has passed and the
Christmas holidays are uron us.
Christmas is still "Merry Christ
mas" for us, although the men in, the
trenches in fighting Europe will be
able to look backward to many ainoth-
er Christmas which was meyrier FOR
them, and. we may hope, look forward
to other merry Christmases to come.
There is just one thing that will go to
make our Christmas more merry
one, and that is for the time being to
forgetourselves and become "regu-
Lar guy. A regular guy III en- open
hearted, open-handed, decent sort of a
fellow who believes that others have a
right to some happiness on earth and
is willing to do his share to help
them get it. It doesn't cost much to
be regular guy, because what we do
doesn't decide our status so much az
the spirit with which wedo it. Sup
pose you are SO poor that you can't
afford to give even a penny away. You
can smile, can't you? You can hesi-
tate by the beggar in the streets and
wish him : "Merry christmas!" You
can feel in your heart that this is a
season Of good will to men, and show
it in your bearing toward your fellow
men. Il the world has been good to
you, now is the, time to repay your
debts. Give something to someone
who needs it. You don't have to &; I.
much, but if necessary, make ga:
rifce. Don't let Christmas go by
without becoming human, if only for
a minute. A nickel here, a dime there
a rag doll for little girl who never
had doll, or an overcoat for the lit
tie fellow who brings your paper who
hasn't got an overcoat, won't mean
much to you, and it might make the
Christmas merry for the little one
Loosen up! This is Christmas! Be 9
regular guy.

fact it is put on with an absolute guar
antee that if you are dissatisfied at the
end of the play go to the box Office
and get your money back. Mr.. Flynn

ent plays, and the fact that he is hand
ling this company insures all that it
will be a success. He says that he ex-
poets to outdo all previous efforts, and
that the people will be given show
that will please them from the start
to finish. This play is put on for the
benefit of the new Elks home, and al
ready over 500 tickets have been sold

pected that before the curtain goes up

And tn trees are stripped an tall.
When tn skies are bright an sunny,
Long before tn flowers are dead,
Feller never 'preciates
There's Winter-time ahead.
Feller never 'preciates
Youth until he's old,
When there's frost upon his gray head,
Whel tn leaves are in tn gold.
When he's travelin' in tn hey-day
OF his life, before tn thread
Is nigh run out, he never thinks
Of Winter-time ahead.
Happy in tn Summertime
That's tn time for you,
When tn sun shines out tn brightest
An the skies are clear an blue.
Happy when tn trees are green,
Before tn flowers are dead;
There's chill an frost a-comin'
In tn Winter-time ahead.

RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS

We need social centers where our
young people can be entertained.
amused and instructed under the di-
rection of cultured, clean and com
petent leadership. where aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful, where art charges the at,
mosphere with inspiration and power,
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive as we'll as the business of
farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social unit,
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character. so that the lives Of
our people can properly function
around it and become supplied with
the necessary elements of human
thought and activity.

COURT vINDICATEs
TORCH DRUG COMPANY
Test Case Establishes That Druggist
Can Sell Liquor for Medicinal
Purposes.

Monday the state supreme court
handed down its verdict in the case Of
Canyon county VS.. the J. Forch Drug
company of Nampa and the United
States Fidelity and Guarantee com
pany. bondsmen for Mr.. Forch. The
decree completely vindicates Mr..
Forc1 and establishes the fact that
the Haight law passed by the legisla-
ture of 1913 did not intend to prohibit
the sale of liquors for medicinal pur-
poses in dry territory.
Last summer Mr.. Forch as a test
case sold liquors in accordance with
the stipulations of the Haight law as
he interpreted it. He was backed by
the state association of druggists when
County Attorney Henry took the case
into the district court. That court de-
cided that Mr.. Forch had not violated
the intent of the law and that there
fore the county could not collect on
the $500 bond given by the Fidelity
company to guarantee against Viola
ton of the law by Mr.. Forch.
