Well, until the last few DAYS it has
not always been possible to write, let

several occasions ! have been where
it was impossible to send letters in to
be censored so did not write at all; If

found way to get them censored.

Christmas Program
At Lutheran Church


With Thy beloved name.
That festival of great JOY the festival
OF the Savior's birth is again at hand.
May we all without exception prepare
our homes and hearts for the coming
of the Royal Prince of Peace. In
these last months the time has come
for us to rejoice in the treasure of a
worldly peace. The slaughter of men
has ceased The weapons of war have
beer laid aside. The dove of peace
is again lowering above us. Infinitely
greater is that peace which the Prince
of Peace has brought to the world in
mis- wonderful incarnation, which we
are about to celebrate. He has
brought about peace between God and
us. He has removed the cause which
forced state of war to exist between
us and our God,-Sin.
Oh, let us not spend the Christmas
Holidays, in fact the whole festival
period before us not in devotion to the
carnal pleasures, but in diligent at
tendance upon all festival services.
Lei our houses of worship be filled
to their utmost capacity and resound
with the melodies of joyful hearts and
tongues to glory of the Prince OF
Peace.

bly, may have a marked influence on
the future of the world war. In
It's initial stage the movement has

and American troops have dashed
brilliantly across positions held by
the Germans, killing, wounding or
capturing thousands Of the enemy

large quantities of guns and other
war supplies. Nowhere. according

ter the first stages Of surprise oc-
caisoned by the unexpected attack

To the Americans alone in the re-
gion west of Scissors came four
thousand prisoners, thirty guns and
much war material. Additional large
numbers Of captives and further
great stores of guns, ammunition
and other war necessities were TAX

positions of the Americans and the
French their guns and machine
guns cut to pieces fleeing hordes Of

ored to withstand the onrush.
The blow, probably long in its in

Hon. Jeff Busby is billed to

night, August 16. You may
have heard him early in the cam
paign enumerate some of the
things he stood for and you may
know of what solid timber his
platform is constructed, but you
are, perhaps, not fully acquaint-
ed with all his intentions when
elected to congress. Since the
campaign opened, we have been
in more than half the counties of
the district and we find Jeff is
well and favorably known every
where. In fact, we were sur
prised to find that he had made
SO many friends in SO short a
time. 1t is up to the voters of
Chickasaw county to stand by
him, and il they do his election
is all but assured.

Wilson or Vardaman, Which

On the first page of this issue
will be found a letter from
President Wilson in which he
says that he would regard the
reelection of Senator Vardaman
as a condemnation of his adj
ministration. This letter was
brought forth because Varda-
mans campaign committee in
Pike county attempted to bolster
up the waning fortunes of their
candidate by making it appear
that President Wilson is for
Vardaman. In an article in the
Commercial Appeal of Monday
Senator Vardaman is quoted as
saying, Il decline to accept the
Presidents statement as true,
that vote for my reelection
will be taken as a vote of con-
domination of his administra-
ton" The Senator has used
the short, ugly word lie" SO
often that the habit stays with
him in meaning when he speaks
of the President, the first
citizen not only of this nation
but of the world; for President
Wilson's word is taken at 100
the world over except in Germany
and' the countries under her
domination, and his opinions are
sought after by not only the
rulers of the allied nations but
most neutrals as well. And it
remains for Vardaman nasty
mouthed as he is to state that
the President would lie to the
