For the Absent One

In packing Christmas box OF eat
ables to send to a relative or friend 1t
Is well to write out complete menu
for a Christmas dinner.
1t Is pretty idea to have this menu
written ON n decorated card, tied With
red ribbon and holly, aud placed where
It win be seen immediately on opening
the box.
Unless the journey Is to be asshort
one it Is a mistake to send anything
that will not keep perfectly. As de-
lays are easily possible during TIE holi-
day rush, ii is usually better to have
the Christmas box include high grade
goods In glass or tin.
The following menu provides suf-
iicient quantity of homemade good
things and includes some appetizing
canned articles:
Grapefruit au Maraschino.
Sardnes. Lemon. Olives. Salted Nuts
Assorted Crackers.
Boned Gapon Saratoga Chips
Currant Jelly.
Asparagus Tips Mayonnaise Dressing
Cheese Crackers
Homemade Mince Pie Stuffed Figs.
Nuts and Raisns. Cake. CANDY
BY emitting the soup nothing In this
entire menu requires heating, and ali
could be served with little trouble. BY
using the liquor from the maraschino
cherries the grapefruit will need no
other wine for flavoring. The aspara-
gus tips should be accompanied by a
Jar Of homemade mayonnaise, which
will stand the journey well II carefully
packed. The mince pie should travel
In its original pie plate. Besides loaf
of cake. there should be plentiful
supply of small cakes-and crisp cook
les, packed in tin boxes.
In addition to the actual food, 1t Is
always safe to include In such box a
few necessities. such as can opener
a nu,cracker, sharp knife and sup
pig uf paper plates and napkins with
some decorations for the Christmas tn.

MOTHERS CHRISTMAS GIFT.

thing about the times
We used to save our pennies and
our nickles and our dimes;
And we punched them all together
even little baby brother
Put in something for the present that
we always gave to mother.
We began to talk about it very early
in December.
Twas a very serious matter to us
children, remember.
And we used to whisper nightly our
suggestions to each other,
For by nothing cheap and tawdry
could we show our love for
mother
Hers must be gift of beauty, fit
to symbolic her ways;
II must represent the sweetness and
the love that marked her days
1t must be the best our money, All
combined, had the power to buy
And be something that she longet
for; nothing else would satisfy
Then it mattered not the token, once
the purchase had been made.
1t was smuggled home and hiddeI
and with other treasures laid
And we placed our present proudly il
her lap on Christmas Day
And we smothered her with kisse
and we laughed her tears away
1t never comes to Christmas but
think about the times
We used to save our pennies and ou
nickles and our dimes;
And the only folks | envy are the sis
ters and the brothers
Who still have the precious privileg
of buying for their mothers,

that will be a source of pride to
every Columbian and it will add but
one-fourth of. one mill to our tax
rate.
The title to the Lee property has
been passed on by two of our best
lawyers and is further protected by
$4,000 guaranty bond. With one
of the finest locations in the state
for beautiful high school property,
with plans that will give us build
ing affording our children every pos
sible advantage and that will be ade-
quate for years 70 come, with
splendid reputation as an educational
center to maintain, and with civic
pride known all over the state, shall
we be satisfied to cut down this
building to bring it within the money
available? Other cities much smaller
and less pretentious than Columbus
have spent $4,000 to $4,000 on
their high school property and they
did it at time when all kinds of
building material cost from 20 to so
per cent less than present prices. Not
one of them has such location as
We have, theirs usually being located
out at the edge of town on inconven-
lent and cheap sites.
Surely every citizen of Columbus
who wants her money conserved, who
has her best interests at heart, who
wants her educational reputation
maintained, and who wants our boys
and girls to have in the future an
"even break" with other boys and
girls, will rally to the support of this
cause and put over this bond issue
without unnecessary delay.
That $4,000 has just simply got
to come.

Today's poem is one Of the Christ

and may each reader realize the JOY

that we have and to her may homage

Christmas Legend
The legend of St. Boniface

The legend Of st. Boniface
n, the first Christmas tree has
been beautifully told. The
scene lives before us--the win
try night, the swelling hillock
crowned with the great oak
tree, the thunder oak sacred
to the pagan god Thor; the
tongues of rudy fame, the
ranks Of white clad warriors,
women and children facing the
altar; the hoary high priest
and kneeling child, the victim
doomed to die by the blow Of
the hammer, a sacrifice to
Thor, the hammerer,
Then the coming Of Boni-
face, the blow from the ham,
mer turned aside by the cross,
the rescue of the boy, the fall
of the oak beneath the mighty
blows of the apostle, the story
of Jesus simply told and how
sin, not human life, is the sac
rifce he asks.
"And here" said the apos-
tie as his eyes fell on a young
fir tree, with its top pointing
toward the stars, amid the
divided oak-"here is the liv-
ing tree, with no stain of blood
upon it, that shall be the sign
OF your new worship" Parish

dramatic Interpretation of jus

A at the Industrial Institute and Col
lege, under the auspices of the Co
lumbus Civic Improvement League.
Nine. Labadie is a woman of cul-
ture and high ideals, and in addition
possesses distinction, beauty and a
magnetic force that attracts and
holds her audience. As a dramatic
interpreter of plays, she is aeknow-
lodged by critics to be without an
equal. The critic of the Rochester
Herald New York; writes:
Merely as an entertainment
Nine. Labadie gave her audience q
genuine and memorable treat, while
as an artistic exposition of the pos
sihilities of dramatic reading, 7
amounted to a veritable triumph.
"The elements of Nine. Labadie'
art are somewhat difficult to analyze
She presents real living characters
Just how she does it is hard to say
In ordinary evening dress, withou
| the assistance of effects of any kind
and without any time moving dozel
r steps from the center of the stage
she vet succeeds in placing befor
: her hearers the separate and wldel
varying figures of the play. An
g these characters are all distinct an
sharply defined. BY the modulatio
of an exquisite voice, by an indefm
able something which amount
scarcely to more than suggestions tn
effect is produced, and the audienc
sees and recognizes the character
which she herself perfectly visualize
"Mme. Labadie's visit was a rel
privilege to Rochester and it is

Thoughts for the Day.

The world still gives for the sheer
love of giving; and thus the heart of
the race renews itself and grows a
year younger at each annual festival
In that glowing radiance which each
Christmas throws across the world
few can remain so absorbed in them
selves or so given to selfish interests
as not to feel for a time that sweet
simplicity of human relationship
which prevailed among the shepherds
who watched their flocks by night on
the plains of Bethlehem. The be
stowal of gifts is but an aspiration
toward closer fellowship and sweetei

DON'T WORRY ABOUT US, JOHN!

CERTAlN British statesmen are having severe
" nightmare thru fear of "the awakening of the
United States TO naval power" They are in terror
lest U. S. navy as good as the best OF them will
mean world calamity especially British calamity.
But, Lord bless them the British has less to
fear than all other nations from Uncle Sans pre-
paredneSS, atho the BritisherS fears come natur-
ally enough. Great Britain has been so long en-
gagged as bully of the seas, and so frequently en-
gagged in acquiring territory that she cannot con-
ceive of nation having power TO do these things
and not using it.
If the plans for preparedness included any
designs upon British interests preparation to seize
Canada would be conspicuous therein. There's no
more thought or talk of doing such thing than
there is of Ohio's rading Pennsylvania.
The best navy in the world would mean to
Uncle Sam merely equality upon the seas, some
thing he does not now enjoy, as Britain is now
demonstrating, and a much stronger influence
among nations for the preservation of world peace.
