GOOD ROADS.

That is pays town, county or state

Is Christmas dying out? Well we rather guess not. With the kiddies it is just as real as 1t al- ways was. When you were a youngster Christmas was to you the one big event of the whole year. As you grew older it seemed that maybe Christmas was not what it used to be. Then you had children and you learn ed that your enjoyment was iii them, and again you got a glimpse of the days that used to be. If you have no children, then, indeed Christmas is a lonesome time to you unless you play Santa Claus to some little boy or girl. That is your chance to make the joys of the glad Christmas time bloom again for you. It's a sure fire remedy, and we guarantee it. There Is not yOungster in this whole country that doesn't know that Christmas is nearly here. He is not very well posted on politics and the European war, but ask him about Old Santa Claus and you will find him well posted.

The failure of Edgar Brown. Wa
bash college man. to take up the
work, after. he had signed to handle
college athletics, is responsible for the
appointment Of Mr.. Watkins to the
position of resident coach-and as
such he will be in charge Of only the
field work of the varsity football
team, other details being handled by
the college and student management.
The success enjoyed by Mr.. Wat

marked, and with his return to the
work this fall, renewed. interest in
football Is assured.
With only ten days remaining till
the college football season opens,
some mighty fast work will be re-
qutred. The University of North Da-
kota team is scheduled to open the

A MISTAKE,

A senator was talking about pre-
paredness and armor plate.
1.-THE armor plate people" he said,
have threatened that If the govern
ment establishes q national armor
plate plant they will shut up their own
plants.
They who think that this threat
traps the government are in error.
The government is no more trapped
than Lush was.
Lush, the well-known clubman
was on the way home from the club at
g or o'clock in the morning. There
were no cabs about, SO poor Lush had
to walk. He walked, of course, zig
gag. 1t was very dark. After a time
he came to a treebox. and he took hold
of 1t and rested.
1T was one of those treeboxes made
of upright iron bars Lush, feeling the
bars with both hands, made his way
around 1t. Bars-endless iron bars
He groaned.
Darn it!' he said, sinking down on
the pavement with his back to the
bars and preparing to go to sleep,
Darn it-arrested again!' washing
