The Lutheran Sunday School held
a very interesting Christmas service
on Sunday evening. Through the
courtesy of the Baptist pastor and
people, the service was held in the
Baptist church. The building was
well filed. The special music and
songs were built upon strains from
the great composers. The recitations
were excellent and were well render
ed. Many little tots from the prim-
ary department had their first ad-
venture in oratory and made a good
impression upon the audience 1t
would be impossible TO mention the
merits of all the little speakers and
singers. The church was Appropriate
ly decorated and a large Christmas
tree, beautifully trimmed and light
ed, occupied a prominent place on the
platform. In due time old Santa
made his appearance, although in a
sorry plight. He had upset in the
mud just outside the church,. but the
Sunday School officers gathered up
all the packages and placed them
under the tree. Every child in the
building was remembered with a lit
tie Christmas token. The story of the
Christ child in Scripture reading,
recitation and song always has an alb
sorbing interest for children. We
were glad to hear it again in special
service Sunday evening.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

A program Friday morning, by the
pupils of Miss Knoche's grade was
much appreciated by the high school
people. Before the main program be-
gan, Louise Wann and Adah Miller
played piano duet.
The basket ball game in the high
school gymnasium, Friday evening,
between the old ''grads" and the high
school colts resulted in victory
for the former by score of 25 to II.
The money taken in at the game
amounted to something over five dol
lars and will be used for the Red
Cross fund.
Practically all of the out-of-town
high school pupils will spend their
vacation at their homes. The enroll
ment of the school shows forty-five
pupils who are non-residents.
Miss Harrison will spend the two
weeks of vacation in Garden City,
Miss Creighton in Goodland, and Miss
Gardner in Salina.
Friday afternoon had a decidedly
Christmasy flavor all its own Pres
ents were the order of the afternoon,
the presents varying from celluloid
dolls for the Freshmen to boxes of
letter paper and other valuables for
the teachers.
The high school building will not be
open or occupied during the Christ
mas vacation. Janitor Wagner drain
ed the water pipes Sunday for the two
weeks.
The matter of radiation for rooms
and is being looked after during
the holidays and when the wind whips
around to the north hereafter, it Will
have no terrors for the Commercial
people.
Among the visitors at the high
school Friday, were Mollie Madden
and Mrs. Logan. The high school was
dismissed at 2:4O and many pupils
and some of the teachers attended the
| grade program.
The pupils of the domestic science
department gave a dinner to them
selves and the high school teacher.

Notwithstanding the high cost OF
living, strikes, the coal shortage, and
other trials and tribulations that the
human family have been plagued
with the past year, the Christmas
spirit seems to be stronger than ever
in the hearts of the people, as is evil
dnced by the unusually large amount
of Christmas packages being shipped
from Hays to friends all over the
world. Every day large quantities
are being shipped from here by par
eel post. Last Saturday and Monday
of this week were the record breaking
days-on Saturday SO extra sacks
left Hays, and on Monday 33 sacks.
Assistant postmaster Clark says, of
course, extra help had to be employ
ed.
Jonah Mutton went to Manhattan,
Wednesday on the plug, to visit rela-
tives and friends over Christmas day.

OF the greatest pleasures Of the con :

to be his artistry in the presentation
OF these two plays. In THE Mollusc, F"
Hubert Henry Davies three act
comedy. MIR. Arliss plays the part
Of an Englishman who has lived
long In Colorado and who has become
thoroughly imbued with the breezy
spirit of the country. In "A Well
Remembered Voice" by Sir James NJ.
Barrie. and said to be the best bit of
dramatic writing that that author
has done since 1914. he plays the ar
tist father OF soldier boy who has
given his life for his country. Only
the whimsical. fantastic genius of
Barrie could write such a scene as we
nave in this play where the voice OF
the young soldier IL heard talking to
ms dear old dad and conjuring him
not to mourn but to be bright and
cneerful in order to help those who
live their life in the great beyond.
The roles in the two plays are widely
different yet said to be most con-
summately played by the distinguish
Cd actor who is never out of draw
ing for the fractional part Of a second.

nized as one of the boldest bootleggers
