Probably no Christmas would seem
complete without the well-known and
popular hymn, "Hark! the Herald
Angels Sing"
The word carol, which originally
meant dance, is thought to have
come into our language either from
the Norman French carole or from the
Celtic carol.
In 1922 Davies Gilbert published
some ancient Christmas carols, with
the tunes to which they were former
~ sung in the west of England" In
his preface he declared himself to be
desirous ''of preserving them in their

France Is exceptionally rich in
carols, which are often drinking songs
as in many European countries. We
find many French carols translated into
English, no doubt as tresult of the
intercourse which existed between
dwellers on either side of the channel,
in the days when English youths often
pursued their studies in France.

Carol Singing

"\HE custom of carol singing
out of doors at Christmas
time seems to be dying out.
This Is a great pity, for
carols are branch of folk music, the
unconscious art Of the peasant mind,
a heritage of inestimable worth.
In many English villages there are
carols peculiar to themselves, to be
1ealously guarded and retained for
their use.
The Christmas carol dates from the

BY EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS,
Author of "Tarzan Of the Apes

There are an infinite number of ex
cellent reasons why we should sup
port the Victory Liberty Loan.
The finest sentiments we possess
must prompt us to subscribe to this
loan even more freely than We did to
the others. The government must get
money or 1t would not ask US for 1t.
The man who was prompted to lend in
the past through fear that If he did
not the Germans might get over here
and make it unpleasant for him Is
mighty yellow" If he will not sub
scribe, now that the danger Is past.
Our response to previous loans indi-
Gated that we were thoroughly In ac-
cord with the principles for which we
were fighting, and by our response we
authorized the expenditure Of the
sums necessary properly to prosecute
the war. These enormous expenses
must continue for some time. The OBJ
legations involved must not be repu-
dated. They are our obligations as
individuals and we must look upon
them as such. 1t is not only matter
of necessity; 1t is a matter of per-
sonal honor for us to meet these OBJ
legations promptly and gladly.
On the other hand, there is in the
Victory loan an appeal to our business
sense as well as to our patriotism.
There Is the appeal to self-interest, for
the loan Is not to be without profit to
us. We are given an opportunity to
invest In an absolutely safe security,
and we will receive good rate Of In
terest. AS a business proposition no
man can afford not to subscribe to the
full limit of his ability.
And there Is another reason why we
should subscribe every cent that we
can rake and scrape together. 1t is
this: II the government cannot raise
the necessary funds by the sale of
Liberty bonds, 1t must do it by direct
taxation. The government has the
power to tax us to meet these Obliga-
lions, and If we are taxed we not only
will get no interest but we will never
get the principal back again.
1t seems TO me that both the wisdom
and necessity for fully and immedi-
ately subscribing this Fifth Liberty
Loan must be obvious to anyone whose
mentality is greater than that Of a
child Of ten. We are supposed to be
an intelligent people, capable of gov
erning ourselves and others. We pride
ourselves upon our business acumen,
upon our energy and upon our patri-
otlsm. In the Victory Liberty Loan
we shall have an opportunity to prove
to the world that we are better than
vain boosters, and that we are fully
deserving of the estimate which we
have placed upon ourselves as a people.
The time is here. The opportunity
is here. The eyes of the world are
upon us-upon you. What the world
shall think of us depends not upon the
action of others but upon what you
do-YOU

WASHINGTON, April 8.-Presi- dent Wilson has ordered the trans port George Washington started for France at the earliest time possible.

 Admiral Bensons message gave no reason for the presidents order. The White House professed no informa- ten, but interpreting it in the light of press dispatches from Paris telling of Wilson's determination that delays at the conference must end, most off cials regard it as significant, and add that importance is also given by the fact that this is the second message from the admiral regarding the ships departure.

In an effort to locate the relatives of Harry B. Morgan, a hero of the American Expeditionary Forces, that they may be awarded the distin- guished service cross which the sol dier won in the battle that resulted in his death, Adjutant General P. C. Harris has written to the postmaster at Wickenburg. Bertha NJ.

 Morgan was a corporal in Company C, 165th Infantry. He displayed ex- traordinary neroism in action in France, July 31, last and it is the de sire of the government to locate his nearest relative and furnish the dec oration he will never wear.
 A letter 10 Mrs. J. C. Watson, mother of the deceased, was mailed on February 9 to 'Wickenburg, the ad- dress given in the soldiers records, but the communication was return ed unclaimed. Another letter to J. C. Watson, the father, was unclaim- ed at Congress Junction.
