CAMP WILSON, San Antonio. Tex.
District National Guard Camp. Decem-
Der 3.-Offcers and men of the 3d Dis
trict Infantry and of Troop A. District
Cavalry. are unanimous in hearty ap-
probation of The Stars plan to make
their Christmas in the field more merry
than 1t otherwise would be. They real
ize that their Christmas this year is
to be different from any they have ex-
perienced before. and the thought that
a movement has been started to make
this greatest of all days as happy and
homelike as possible under the circum-
stances has moved them deeply.
Christmas away from home will be
a new experience for the great major
ity of the militiamen from the District
who are camped here, and few, if any,
of them ever have had Christmas
under tents. The things that generally
go to make up a happy Christmas will
be missing, and il depends almost en-
tirely on the folks back home" wheth-
er December 25. 1915, is to he joyous
occasion for the District militiamen or

Looking Forward to Happy Day.

With The Star as a clearing house
for the community Christmas remem-
brance funds for the District soldiers
the men here feel that whatever is done
to make December 25 a memorable day
will be accomplished with great effec-
tiveness While the majority of the
District I1ilitiamen camped at this
place come from the best families of
the National Capital and no doubt will
be generously remembered by relatives
and friends at Christmas time, there
are some men in the commands who are
less fortunate in this respect and who
would be apt to have a dull Christmas
We're a different sort of a day not as
sured by The stars plan for an ex-
preston of Yuletide cheoT from the
entire community.
Since the District soldiers had their
feast of turkey and other good things
on Thanksgiving day their thoughts
have been turned toward Christmas and
already they are considering plans for
celebrating this greatest of all events
on the calendar. Practically all OF the
companies hope to have Christmas
tree. The chief difficulty confronting
them, however. is the fact that Christ
mas trees" don't grow in this section.
Pine trees are unknown hereaboutS
but the District militianen hope to be
able to get hold of cedars. While on
their hike to New Braunfels they saw
trees of this kind and when the time
comes they probably will go after a
supply of them with motor truck
In the letters which the District mill
tiamen are receiving from home these
days the question, What do you want
for Christmas" quite frequently is
asked Articles which are enumerated
by the soldiers in answer to such in
Quiries usually can be divided into
three classes-things to eat, smoking
materials and articles which will tend
to make their stay in the field more
comfortable.

CITIES KEEP PACE WITH
COUNTRY IN IMPROVING
THE LINCOLN HIGHWAY

NORTH PLATTE. Neb.. Nov. %.
Widespread and deserved pub
licity has attracted 10 the phenO-
menal improvement made on the
route of the Lincoln highway in the
past year and TO the average mind
il is probable that this brings a
picture of "A smooth and possibly
hard surfaced rural section of the
great thoroughfare. However, the
many substantial improvements
which have been completed within
the corporate limits of the cities
and towns along the way should not
be lost track Of.
The automobile traveller frequent
" has cause for. irritation in the
bad going he encounters in the
small towns along many OF the
through roads. but this condition
where il has existed along the Lin
coin highway. is being rapidly rem
edied. This applies particularly in
the middlewest, in Iowa and Nebras-
ka.
For the purposes Of Illustration
the improvements for the current
year upon the Lincoln highway in
Lincoln county, Nebraska, are of
interest. A sum aggregating STA
600 was spent; S21. 900 upon rural
road Improvement. $50. 500 for a new
bridge over the North Platte river,
$4,000 in paving the route through
the city of North Pate with brick
and $4,000 for road building ma
chinery and equipment.
In the relatively small centers
along the way in Iowa and Nebras-
ka where the average population
runs from four 10 six thousand.
$40. 600 has been expended in bet
tering the route of the Lincoln high
way this year. II is the most elo-
quent appreciation of the benefits
of tourist traffic that could be ex-
pressed
