walked home from school

not own it to himself, there was a
feeling akin to pleasure at the sound
of the childish voice.
Then she went on to explain how
she had stayed after school to re-
hearse some hymns that the children
were to sing on Christmas morning.
Don't you want to hear how one
of them goes?" And without waiting
for an answer she began:
Silent night, sacred night,
Shepherds first see the light,
Hear the alleluias ring,
Which the heavenly choirs sing:
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born.

voice fell softly on the air. Covertly
the man drew his coat sleeve across
his eyes Somehow it seemed as
though he was transported back to the
long ago-that he stood watching with
pleasure the beaming face of little
blue-eyed maid as she caught sight of
tree with vari-colored lights and
laden with bewildering array of
gifts. Then again he was seated be-
fore the fire and on stool at his
feet the same radiant little creature
sang in childish tones the story of
the Babe Of Bethlehem, while his
hand caressed her golden curls.

AUTOMOBILES GOING UP
Several Makes Already Raised and
 Others are Following.

Those who contemplate the purchase of an auto next spring, and wait until spring to get it, will probably be sorry they waited. Among those that have already gone up or have announced higher prices effective Jan. 1, are the Studebaker, Rec, Mitchell, Hudson, Metz, Saxon, Winton.
 The demand for cars during the early spring months will be much greater than the supply, and when the spring days come and you want the new car you, will probably not get it; you will have to await your turn-and it may be long wait. This is the duli end of the season, but the manufacturers cannot turn them out fast enough now and what will it be in the spring?
 There is usually enough good auto ing weather in the winter so you can familiarize yourself with the new ma. chine and be ready to get the good of it when the first spring days come and the roads become settled.
