fort TO making the Christmas of 1917

1t is not necessary that we take
from ourselves and our children the
joys and smiles that are inherent

and smiles embody a self satisfaction
that we have helped to make more Sc
cure the peace at home. and more GER
tain the return of peace abroad
To this end, Braxton Beacham. fed

urges the people of this state to bear
in mind, and teach to their children,

sugar saved from the Christmas feast
viii be an ounce of strength for the
armies OF our own and allied nations
who are striving to protect our own
and our fellow countries from autoc-
racy's domination.
So let us refrain from careless uses
OF those needfHI foods, and fully real
ize that all we save will be a greater
support to our soldiers, and a greater
defense against the dangers that con-
front them. and sure and powerful
factor for an earlier peace throughout
the world.
Let us use wisely, give wisely, and
ever remember that in observance Of
this holy Christmas, we can, by our
more thoughtful self-denial, win the
respect of our friends, the gratitude of
our country and allies, and the bless
ings OF God
