Merry Christmas. Rodneyi' sang out Jerry as
he dashed out Of the alley dragging handmade
sled.
Merry Christmas nothIngi" replied Rodney
morosely.
whats the matter with it?" asked Jerry. 81
heard you got lot of presents"
"I wanted a motorcycle and didn't get 1t"
growIed Rodney.
"Pm sorry, Rod" said Jerry sympathetica1ly.
eff you get time, come over and see the tree
we rugged up for the Riddles last night There
come Jakey McGinnis and his twin sister.
Jerry hurried down the street, loaded the
McGinnis twins his sled and had great time
coasting.
Jerry had discovered how to make Christmas q
success. He was the embodiment of the spirit Of
Christmas-whch is best expressed by the little
word, Joy.
Jerry-does he live in your block?-is the kind
of lad who gets so much joy out of life that lot
of 1t spills over and lands the next fellow. He
wants everybody to be just as happy as he is. He
would like to see Rodney get his motorcycle II it
would make Rodney any happier.
We have a suspicion, however, that If Rodney
had received the motorcycle he would not have
found the joy-traiI by riding It.
May Christmas bring everybody ali the good
things possiblei But let remember that Christ
mas joy is not spelled with the letters GET.
It is what we bring to the day that makes Christ
mas a jOy-tme.-Boys' World

By the installation at the state in- dustrial school at Fort Grant of a power and lighting plant, which i'm provement has been decided upon by the commission of state institu- tions, the boys and girls at that in- stitution are to be afforded additional facilities for learning useful trades that will make them self-supportins when they leave the school.
 The power and lighting plane. will cost about S12,000, will furnish power for al the shops and the saw mil and electric lighting for all buildings of the institution.

FLU CONDITIONS SHOW
BIG IMPROVEMENT
Few New Cases Reported To Phys
icians; Schools To Remain Closed
Until December 80

Influenza has loosened its hold on
the Lynden district to such an ex-
tent that local physicians said to-
day that few new cases were being
reported to them, and those who had
been suffering from the diacase were
we'll on the road to recovery.
In order to avoid, however. any
possible chance for a new outbreak,
the school beard decided this week to
keep the schools closed until Decemb-
er 80. 1t was planned for time 10
reopen this week, but it was felt
that although there were no new
cases of the influenza now, it would
be wiser to postpone the reopening
until after Christmas.
In Bell.ngham, the ban has been
placed on all public meetings again.
and conditions are said to be ser
ious. Bellingham and Ferndale are
the quarantine system. In
Seattle, the schools have been closed
again, and the number of new cases
is alarming.
