A Christmas Morning Music Festival
for Americans Everywhere.

From the Etude published in Phila-

"Christmas, and hundreds of thousands
of American fathers, sons and brothers
away from home, away from the music,
the laughter, the Christmas love and
cheer. Here is a wide, circling idea
which music workers can employ to
bring all Americans all over the world
closer to each other and closer to our
glorious ideals at this momentous hour
in our national history. 1t is simply
this. Let US have on Christmas morn
ing a chorus in which everyone who
rejoices in the name America may take
psrt, a chorus that will sing itself
around the world, Christmas morning
music festival for all Americans every
where, this festival to be held entirely
without expense and with no more
preparation than remembering it. At 9
o'clock next Christmas morning. the
day of all the year when American
home ties are strongest, let all
Americans
Around the Fireside,
On the Training Ground,
In the Chapel,
On the Battleship,
In the Trenches,
In the Hospitals,
On the Streets,
In the Cars,
Everywhere join in great chorus or
endless chain of choruses singing
"America" until the thought of our
blessings in the ''sweet land of
liberty" will ring around the globe.
\ Let every instrumentalist join in.
Let the bells of every Church and
School House ring out. Let all
America sing as it never sung before,
with hearts thrilled with rapture and
gratitude for the blessings that
America has brought US, though our
eyes be jeweled with tears" Let
0resco join in this great chorus to
exalt our ideals and our love of the
home land. May we never forget 9 o.

OBITUARY..
Nichols,

Lydia Hazard was born in Burns,
Alleghaney county, N. Y, Dec. H.,
1888. When a very small child she
moved with her parents to Ogle coun-
ty, ILL.,, where she spent her young
girlhood. In early life she was mar
ried to John Ryder. To them one son
was born, Lewis Ryder, who now
lives in LeGrande, Ore.
In 1857 she was married to VIM. C.
Nichols of Grande Detour, Ill. In
1857 Mr.. and Mrs. Nichols determined
to cast their fortune in the then un-
known west, and so they organized a
little company of friends and started
overland in covered wagons and OK
teams for Pixies Peak. When they
reached Iowa City they were per-
suaded to turn north and finally
reached Howard county where Mr..
Nichols parents and brother James
already resided. They passed through
many severe hardships in the early
days, but worked together courage
ously and came out victorious.
TO this union four children were
born-Charles D. Nichols of Cresco,
the late Mrs. VIM. A. Stockman of
Albion township, Holt Nichols of Ru-
pert, Idaho, and Howard Nichols of
Cresco.
Mrs. Nichols had not been in the
best OF health for the past year, but
her indomitable will and energy kept
her up till three days before her
death.
She spent Thanksgiving day with
her son Charles and family and was
up quite late Saturday evening; but
Sunday morning she was unable to
rise or even speak to any of her fam
lily and late Monday afternoon, Dec.
3rd, passed away.
She leaves to mourn, her three sons,
one sister, and one brother, Daniel
Hazard of Leaf River, Illinois, who
was here to attend the funeral, twenty
