There is much activity here today
"wednesday among the poultry buy
ers. Immense quantities of all kinds
and prices to correspond
Our stores are in holiday attire ana
Christmas greens are abundant. Our
first snow fall on Wednesday is a re-
minder that winter is really here and
we must seek indoor enjoyment or
sports. Some may enjoy one thing
and some another. as different modes .
of life develop different lines of
thought Let us not pass quick judg-
ment on those things whihc do not
apeal TO us, which in themselves are
harmless. There are some fixed prin-
ciples of right and wrong established .
by our Creator which are unalterable 1
and to which we must all yield But
there are minor beliefs and opinions
which make up our own code of activ-
ity that should not bind others. We
can well afford to differ in non-essen-
Lials and unite our influence for good
for the welfare of our fellow man
May the Christmas spirit influence our
lives to the extent that can feel Peace
On earth, good will toward men"
