prompted by love-that noble attribute OF the human heart
that had it's inception not in the things of heaven but in the very
heart of the eternal One.
Most Of us who have anyway nearly reached the meridian
of our earthly pilgrimage have experienced the sorrow and an
guish of heart of witnessing the going out OF the life of those
who did so much to heighten our joys and to add to our blithe-
some spirits during the Santa Claus period. We feel that if
they were here now we would do so much more to make smooth
and even their journeys and to tighten their burdens. This
of things. We fail to see our greatest opportunities and to APP
preciate our greatest responsibilities and gifts until they are in
the distant. That which is best and sweetest to us is, alas, toe
often not properly appreciated until it is recedlng from us and
is separated by time and by distance. If the world would get
the lesson that our consciences hug remorse while the drippings
of blood go or and on because of the neglect and indifferences
we show to the world and especially to those who have a right
to expect our tenderest care and devotion, many heartaches
would be saved and many rugged places in life would never be
made.
Christmas opens the gates of solcitude of the Christian
world. 1t loosens the purse strings, it reiuvinates the old and
makes one to look for the rainbow of promise where the storm
has ragged. The buoyant spirit of Christianity begets thoughts
of others. From the windows Of Heaven, where angels faces
gaze out on the world below, is flung the banner, "Al to Christ
we owe,' and from these openings in the celestial city, we hear
the sweetest music which eXtols the message of peace on
earth and good will towards men,"
Truly our lives have fallen in pleasant places. Ours is a
goodly heritage. In spite of ourselves the world has been good
to us. The Sentinel wishes all of its readers a truly joyous
Christmas and a future lavish with natures bounties.

YET THERE ARE MANY UNPAID.

YET THERE ARE MANY UNPAID
In looking over our subscription books we find
that there are yet many who not only have not taken
advantage Of our offer whereby they can save SO
cents by paying their subscriptions before January
l, 1917, but they have failed to pay back subscrip-
tions, especially is this true with those who have al
lowed their subscriptions to run for more than a
year. We have quite a large number on our list
who have been taking the paper for several years
and who owe, some of them, as much as Sc. 90 for
back subscriptions. Now what they owe us is hon.
estly due us and if it is not paid voluntarily, WE
MEAN TO PLACE every claim in the hands of an
officer for collection. The fact that we mean to put
the subscription on a cash basis does not mean that
we expect to make anybody a present of what they
now owe. We have filled our part of the obligation
and it is now up to the other fellow to fill his. We
regret the necessity of this plain talk, but at present
WE ARE O IN A POSITION TO MAKE A DO

tiers. but these little things amount in the aggregate
much to US. We have sent out repeated notices and
everybody who is in arrears on our books has had an
opportunity to know how our records show thew
stand, hence if you do not pay and are called upon
by an officer, you are not in a position to set up the
plea that you have not been fairly treated. If there

1919 ON HUGHES,
ODDS AT. CLOSE
Last Large Bet Is 900 to
$4,000 on Republicans.

(By the International News Service.)
New York, Nov. 6.-Pre-election betting
closed tonight with odds 10 to on the
victory of Charles Evans Hughes.
The day was one Of unprecedented
wagering. A last-minute influx Of Will
son money from tile Middle West
failed in its purpose to force the odds
to the even mark.
Betters who have watched the situation
closest were not SO certain over the out
come tonight. Even the confidence of
Wall Street-strong in Its belief that
Hughes will be elected-wavered. The
same uncertainty pervaded the hotels
and betting places.
The largest bet was registered at the
Waldorf-Astoria, Jonn Grossber laid
900 to $4,000 on Hughes. The short
end was taken by Tex Rickard. Tom
Shaw bet 5000 to $4,000 on Wilson.
In Wall Street betting was restricted
to quantity of bets rather than size. Ed
ward Mcouade reported he had placed
$150, 200. mostly at 10 to 8. Another broker
named Oppenheim said he had, placed
$4,000
At the Waldorf tonight 100000 remained
to be placed on Wilson at 10 to 9. Tex
Rickard, who was placing the money for
friends in the West" declared he could
find no takers He predicted the betting
tomorrow would be at even money. Rick
ard also said he had 1000 to place at
10 to Q that Wilson carried Ohio.
Harry K. Thaw bet $4,000 against 1900
at the Waldorf that Hughes would carry
New York. In Wall Street there was
some wagering at even money that
carried New York State by 5000.
Today's betting throughout presaged .
close vote. Since 1870, 1t was emphasized,
the betting has been an accurate indica-
ton of the outcome-especially the wager
ing in Wall Street, which represents the
sentiment OF a widespread territory that
send its money there to be placed.
phenomenal amount Of money was
bet during the day. 1t was variously said
it would exceed $1.000.000. This brings
the estimated total up to between s5,0O0.-
900 and 100000. an amount more than
has been wagered on all elections together
since that of Lincoln.
Tracing the trend Of betting back shows
Hughes, after his nomination, was IS to D
favorite, with Wilson hackers wanting
better odds. Eventually Hughes support
ers gave II to and a great many wage.s
had been made at to l. Two weeks ago
the odds began shortening and soon the
even money mark was reached. Then the
began. Those who had Q to l
bets on Hughes covered up in the hope
of saving some of their money.
