NOTE OF HOPE AND HAPPINESS
Celebration of Saviour's Birth Com mands Attention of All Nations
 Regardless of Ravages of War.

On the great feast of the Nati"ity. Christmas, as 1t is popularly known, there Is always a note of hope and cheer. even when many lands are drenched in blood. It was 1917 years ago that Christ was born, but the mes sage he brought is as fresh and com. polling as it was in the years long ago, Over the little town of Bethlehem the heavenly choir sang "Gloria in Elk celsis Deo"-"Glory be to God on high, and on earth peace to men Of good will" or. as some renderings of the Latin text have 1t. "and on earth peace and good will towards men," Thai blessed proclamation will go sounding down the centuries to come until time shall be no more.
 Protesting Christmas welcome today as one of peculiar joy and gladness' The liturgical churches celebrate Il with impressive services but all God fearing people, whether they be con. nected with the Christian body or that can but find thrill and a lifting uE of the soul in meditating upon the birth of Jesus and the mighty WorB the redeemer came to accomplish.
 Christmas comes to us with its hal lowed greeting and with an inspira tion for higher purposes and true Christian charity. May this be truly a happy Christmas for one and all.

SANTA CLAUS IS A FAITH
Take Kris kringIe Away From Chil. cren and You Rob Christmas of
 Half It's Joys.

Some very honest people are such sticklers for truth that they are con. cerned about our firm belief in Santa Claus. We'll, 1t is good thing to stand up for truth, if we really know the truth. But we know that a great many very learned people have been Wrangling about what truth Is for sev' eral thousand years, and yet it does not seem to be definitely settled. But for the most of us truth is what we truly believe. It Is the faith that is In us, and Santa Claus Is faith. If not a fact, and so we say again that we do believe in Santa Claus, says an ex. change.
 Take Santa Claus away from the children and you rob Christmas of half its joy. GrOWnup though We may be, we would rather hang up our stocking "the night before Christmas" and ind 1t bulginR full of gifts in the dim light Christmas morning, than to have car. load come duly tied up and labeled, and delivered by the mailman. Who wouldn't? There is Il lure in the mys- tery of S nta Claus that has endeared him to ey ry childish heart, and so dc not take him away until you have something better 10 offer.

The Gift Diuine
By WM. BRADFORD DICKSON

At this fair Christmastide When joy bells ring out The song of plenty and ring in The reign of peace throughout This wonderful land of ours The while across the sea old Mother Earth Is drenched with blood And hate and carnage reign supreme: While stockings vail for milk And children faint for lack of food: While strong men fall beside the way And homeless women kneel in prayer I do not ask for gifts Of frankincense and myrrh, Of gold, of Ophir or of either Ind. Of jewels rare or priceless merchandise Of marble halls or vast estates, Nor cen the costly homage of mankind; But this That I may give each day full need Unto the willing mind and heart, Of light of Truth and warmth of Love, Of matchless skill in comforts art That magic all transforming touch Which heals the leper's spots And turns to naught the wounds ana
 scars
 Deep scared upon the heart of man On life's great battlefield, That I may bind earths broken hearts, Lifting up the dropping heads Of the oppressed and burdened ones, That I may plant within young hearts A deeper longing for the Right Of mercy for the hapless weak And those who suffer daily throes Of hunger. pain, disease. neglect: That l may know forgetfulness For daily sights and wrongs; That I may hourly grow 15t In love of liberty. of friend and foe. And all the world May grow in iove-a fruitful love For all the beauty and true In nature art. the heavenly realm And for the noble deeds of all mankind; That may fill the widening hours of
 life
 With courage, cheerfuness. and hope; That I may help my fellow man Behold the dawn beyond the night- The gentle calm beyond the storm. These are the gifts I crave Above the blind worlds treasure trove Of gaud and gilt.
 Who gives his better self the whole year
 through
 Gives life's own priceless gift to all the
 world and you-the gift divine.

There IS nothing trHer than fairy tale. It IS the qoin- essence of tohat Aristotle calls the probable impOssibtlity.
 The best Of the fairy tales are folklore, giTng the boiled doun wtsdom of centuries of experience, and the truths they teach are the old, old facts of human nature put into uisible form for childish minds to grasp. These tales do not teach morals by precept, but truths by erample, says Co., hsrs. No amount of teach 'ng about the brotherhood of man, aud Christmas Kindness, and the rewards Of uirtue, can hare such an effect on the small, obJectipe soul as IS pro- daced by the ViSion of Santa Claus pith his white beard and lwinkIy eyes coming with toys t0r good little boys and switches for bad little boys. @edding jollity and beneuo- fence all orer the place.

MADISON GRAIN MARKET.
SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Oct. IA break of
S1.00 $500 in provisions futures
since the opening day of the week
was the dominant bear factor in the
hog trade all around the circuit. The
decline locally worked out Is 25c,
with the close at the low point. Tops
landed at $1,000, while the bulk of
the business was done at a spread of
$18.50@1S.65.
Cattle receipts continued on the
liberal order, the estimate calling for
$500 head, as against 1,517 a week
ago and 1880 the corresponding day
a year ago..
Trade tone was rather quiet in all
divisions this morning. The strain
of heavy receipts tended to make the
market a little draggy on the undesir-
able grades and there were instances
quoted as weaker on such kinds,
while the upper classes of both killers
and feeders held generally steady.
Little or no change was noted in
the sheep division. Best western
lambs sold at SITS, while the top
on natives was $17.40.

IEit EULES For Ui5LOYALlSTS
'German Efficiency" Applied to Pro-
motion OF Traitorous Propaganda
at Least Personal Risk.

Pro-kaiser and anti-war p%ropagan-
dists reveal their lack of German efi-
cheney" in the frequency with which
they get themselves pummeled or
"pinched."
In the interest of more efficiency,
the Independent has condensed the
methods of the most successful practI-
TONERS of d~isloyalty into ten rules
for carrying on traitorous propaganda
at least personal risk.
Most of all of these rules so accur-
ately describe the arguments which
nearly everybody has heard from one
or more of the traltorous~minded that
they are worth frequent perusal. The
rules are:
I. Assert on every occasion that
wall street" made the war. Never
mind explaining when, how or why.
2. Get In all the sneers you can at
any profession of ideal motives. II
you can find any flaw In our demoe-
racy say that "we are Just as bad an
~sutocracy as Germany" Place the
war in as sordld a light as possible.
8. 1t Is dangerous to denounce the
United States directly. But rake his
tory from end to end for mud to throw
at the allies. Especially, twist the
lions tail.
q. Profess great c lest send
Ing food to Europe will starve Amer
lea. Support every embargo movement
that applies to the allied nations and
none that does not.
5. II the president asks for any ex-
tension of power rave about dictator
ship" and the overthrow Of the Iiber-
ties for which our fathers, ETC."
6. Spread rumors that the allies are
going to betray US or take advantage
of US as soon as we are deeply enough
involved in the war.
z. Accept CONSUMPTION In principle
but hamper It's working In every pos
sible way. One good way Is to start
scares about revolutions and internal
disorder as a pretext for keeping a
large part of the army at home.
9. Demonstrate that the enemy 10
unconquerable and victory hopeless.
Play the candid friend" and act as a
depressant.
9. BE very jealous to prevent "en-
tangling alliances" and be much con-
cerned about the Monroe doctrine II
we mix ourselves In European quar-
rels." A permanent league Of nations
would embarrass your Junker friends
II they remain In power after the war.
Germany a only hope to conquer
other nations II they act selfshly and
In isolation.
10. WHEN DRIVEN TO MAKE AN
UNEQUIvocAL STATEMENT PRO-
TEST YOUR LOYALTY AND THEN
CHANGE THE SUBJECT.
Cut this out and hand 1t to the next
pacitist or luke-warm friend who tries
to start an argument.

ENGLISH CHEER BATTLE HYMN
Julia Ward Howe's Classic Received
Enthusiastically In London
Concert.

London.-An American surprise was
sprung on the fashionable audience at
the opening of the annual series of So
called popular concerts" which for
q generation have been a weekly fea-
ture of the musical season in London.
The soloist of the afternoon was Miss
Carrie Tubb, perhaps the most popu-
lar of native English prima donnas.
In response to the customary demand
for an encore, she sang with splendid
dramatic effect the famous Battle
Hymn of the Republic" When the
first notes of the piano accompaniment
tfnkled out there were some smiles
among the audience, who knew the air
principally as used by the Salvation
army to carry a religious song In It's
open-air meetings. But the intense
fervor of the singer swept all before
her, and the song was heard In breath
less silence and hailed with enthusi-
astic applause.
