THE Reporter wishes all its subscrlb-
ers, friends and readers A Very Merry
Christmas. 1t is season of forgetting
strifes, disappointments and self; a
time to remember kindness, goodwill,
benefits and others. 1t is season OF
receiving; a season of giving and for
giving. 1t is the festival OF the home

birthday of the eternal hope of man

God and the brotherhood of man. Good
tidings of great joy. May it all be
yours!

The man who suggested that the in
nOcent lining up of the planets last
week would bring about cosmic catas-
trophe, involving the destruction of
our own little orbis terrarum, deserves
to suffer all the agonies of soul and
mind which held millions of innocent
victims of his joke in fits of blue hor-
for for "a hours. 1t is the innocent
ard ignorant who suffered; the others
refused to get scared. We have not
heard how they took it in the fifth dis
trict. Perhaps the supreme court de-
cision a couple days earlier and the
Berger Bodenstab scrap gave the folks
there terrors similar to those exper-
fenced by the believers in the world

He says that some very good tobacco
was grown there and also some indif-
ferent. In the neighborhood. of Is
acres were raised in the Rochester Sec

would ever think that there was any
of that left.

JAPAN has shown herself an apt
pupil. The other powers have tenta-
lively agreed to withdraw their mill
tary forces from Russian and Siberian
territory. Japan demures. She is
augmenting her forces there. The
nd-grabbing art practiced by Euro
pean nations whenever they had a
chance to do so in the past has been
studied by Japan; now she feels that
she knows it well enough to practice it
on her own hook. The European pow
ers have no reason to frown upon the
island men of the East for being apt
pupils in the noble game of moving
fences.
