HOLLAND

Holland is little country in the
northern part of Europe.
All the people wear wooden
shoes. Some men wear trousers
like boys in our country do. The
girls an6 women wear lots and lots
of starched skirts and when they
play or walk they knit.
The dykes of Holland are very
wonderful. If they were stretched
out they would reach from here to
Boston, Mass.
You could go from here to Bos.
ton and halfway back on a canal.
Everybody washes his house and
front side walk very often and
keeps a cow in the cIeanest, neat
little barn fastened onto the house
A good deal of the land that Hol-
land has is below the sea. One Of
the songs that the Holianders sing
is Water, Water Everywhere but
not Drop to Drink, 1888. ~
The canals are fine places to
skate in winter.
In some of the houses they ar
range two mirrors SO they can look
up and down the street.

what?. It isn't what you are given
for Christmas presents that makes
you really happy; it is the way you
feel in your heart. And there isn't
anything that can keep you from
being really, happy but you your
self.
And Junior Folks, the happiest
people Of all are those who give
something to some one else. Try
it and see. 1t doesn't have to be a
great big present that costs lots of
money, and it doesn't even have to
be something tied up in white
paper. But one present you can
give almost anybody that will make
you just as happy as anything is
guess what? Why great big smile
and Merry Christmas"
Merry Christmas, again, Junior
Folks; such real merry Christ
mas that even the very spirit of all
that our little Christ Child's birth
day means may come into your
heart, and make you have little
taste of living happily ever after.

participating therein to a marked de-
gree of interest.

sermons referred to in The Journal

subject touched on by Rev, J. A.
Ansley, of the First Baptist church,
and Food Conservation was taken
by Rev. d. P. Slaughter of the First
Methodist church. In the course of
their sermons, nearly all the pastors
took occasion to refer to the fact that
twenty-three or more states were
wholly in the dry column, by opera

affected by the laws operation. The
president was also spoken of during
the course of the services. and the

DATE SELECTED FOR
BIG CEREMONlALS

Friday, the 18th of July, has been
selected as the date for the next
Grotto ceremonial. In selecting Fri
day, the thirteenth, for the next cere-
monial and date for initiating candi-
dates into the mysteries of the Grot-
to, the committee did so with out
regard to the superstition that has
long prevailed in the minds of some
regarding Friday and the thirteenth,
thinking the better the day the better
the fun in initiating.
In line with the other events that
are now taking place while our coun-
try is at war, this is to be called the
patriotic ceremonial. This ceremonial
is to be weird and spectacular, to
fire the spirit of the Neophyte, or
candidate, and lift him out of the
confides of the every day world into
the illimitable realm of imagination.
A large class will be put through
the mysteries.

GIVE DEMONSTRATION
OF DRYING VEGETABLES

Drying vegetables is the subject
of the second demonstration to be
given at the summer school this
morning by Miss Lonny Landrum,
Home Demonstration Agent, the
course having opened last Monday
with a demonstration in canning.
Owing to the length of the demon
stration, the work will be started at
the opening of school at 9:20. This
will give all students and outsiders
interested in the lecture an opportun-
ity to see the start of the work, and
to have the preliminary steps eX-
planned. After the start of the
work it is necessary only that con-
slant watch be kept, which can be
done by one person. After two hours,
the drying process is nearly COM
plete, and the students can see the
closing operation by attending the
regular period at II 90.
The course is open not to students
alone, but to all who are interested.
The subject next Monday will be an
nounced later.

Call OF Patriotism is
Heard Across
The Country

It's Z far cry from Washing
ton state to Pensacola, but not
too far for the call of patriotism
to be heard.
This was shown yesterday by
the enlistment at the local army
recruiting station of Vernice A.
Swearingen, of Walla Walla,
Washington, and Howard S. All
bright, of Sacramento, California.
Both of the young men passed
excellent examinations and left
last night for Jacksonville, for
acceptance, and detachment at
training camp.
But whether from the West, or
East, North or South, they en-
listed, and Pensacola, and Flor
ida get the credit for their en-
listment.
