primary and junior children presented
the beautiful pageant "Chldren of the
Christmas Spirit" The children were
appropriately gowned, and Miss Esta
McClain made charming impersonation
of the Spirit of Christmas. The thought
running through the story was summed
up and expressed by the America chi Id
when she said, "If we are all children of
the Christmas Spirit and love the Babe
of Bethlehem, then brotherhood runs
round the world, and Xmas is not perfect
quite for one without the other" Dur

was bright and we'll sung. The offering
received by two primary girls, Alice Mo-
ser and Lillian Harbaugh, in large Xmas
stockings, for our little orphan brothers
and sisters Is said to be one of the larg-
est ever given by this congregation for
this purpose. Service was held at 6. 80

FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Week of January 7th, A. H. Woods
presents
"MARY'S ANKLE"
the brilliant comedy success by May Tul-
ly. New York cast and production.
"Mary's Ankle" which comes to Ford S
week January 7th with the prestige of a
long and brilliant run at the metropolis,
is a captivating comedy by May Tully
with just enough originality in its COM
position to delight the modern theatre
eoer. In New York its laughing merits
were recognized at once, and during the
extended engagement the theatre was
nightly crowded to the very doors.
The plot deals with the merry esca-
pades of three impoverished young men,
one of whom pretends, and carries the
idea put through roaringiy funny scenes,
that he is going to marry certain Mar y
Jane Smith, in order to get wedding pre-
sents from his close listed relatives, to
pawn and raise sufficient money to ke eF
himself and pals from starving to death.
An actual Mary Jane Smith appears
most inopportunely and is forced into the
scheme against her wishes.
1t would not be fair TO divulge more
Of tine story which depends largely fol
its effects for its many surprises to the
audience, but it can be said that one
complication follow another in such ra
pid succession that its spectators are
kept in constant state of hilarity thru.
out the three acts.
The same cast that shared its New
York success will be seen here and in.
cludes Irene Fenwick, Bert Lytell ant
others.
The production as regards scenic effects
and stage equipment will be exactly y
given during the year of tri umph at tn
metropolis.

Stomach Troubles,

If you have trouble with your stomach
you should try Chamhepla ms Tablets.
So many have been restored to health by
the use of these tablets and their cost is
so little, 25 cents, that it is worth while
to give them trial.

JAPAN'S sHIPBUILDINc.

Nowhere, perhaps, is the effect of the war upon Japan more patent than in her great naval yards at Yokosuka; nowhere doess the strength and magnitude of her ambi. tions find more cogent demonstra. tion. The possessors of an island em- pire, the statesmen of Japan have not been slow to recognize the value of strong navy and powerful and numerous mercantile marine. Un- der system of shipbuilding and shiprunning bounties, her merchant shipping has made huge strides; and the advocates of state aid, in return, under certain circumstances for state control, may point confidently to the successful transportation of troops in time of war in justification of their policy.-New York Tele- gram.

The Liberty Loan Honor Flag.

A new and distinctive feature will be introduced in the Third Lib- erty Loan campaign, and every city or town in the country which subscfibes more than it's quota of Liberty bonds will be awarded by the Treasury Department an Hon. or Flag.
 The flag will be 56 inches wide and 54 inches long. The body of the flag will be white with a broad red bo~der, and three broad blue vertical stripes denoting the Third Loan. The flags, which will be of the same quality as the flags of the navy, are already being manufact- ured and will be awarded as fast as the right to fly them is won. Though awarded by the treasury department, they will be distri- buted by the Liberty loan commit tees of the different districts.
 There will als6 be a national honor flag for each state, to be flown at the state capitol, with the name of each town winning a flag inscribed upon it. There will be also preserved in the United States treasury national honor flag, with the record of each state recorded on it.
 Stars, to be placed on the flag of each city or town doubling It's quo- ta. will be also awarded, and an ad- ditional star for each time the quo- ta is doubled.
 An honor roll, containing the names of all subscribers, but not the amount of the individual sub scriptions, will be kept in each community. A window card, bear ing representation of the honor flag, will be given each subscriber to the loan, to be displayed at the home or place of business.

THE RUSSIAN COLLAPSE.

The Russian collapse has been expected for many months, and was no surprise when it came
 While Russia may not be of any more help to the Allies, we should not forget the fact that Russia has struck some powerful blows against Germany and Austria. When Germany found she could not take Paris in 1914, she then turned her millions against Russia and was continually attacking her from Nov. l, 1914, until Sept. l i, 1915. Russia was then strong and well supplied with ammunition and the way she slaughtered Ger mans appalled, even old General Hindenburg. It is reported that over two million Germans were killed, and one million permanently disabled and about a million were captured. So these heavy blows that Russia struck will make the task of Great Britain, France, Italy and the United States very much easier than it would have been.
