Origin of Yuletide

Yule was the name of the ancient
Scandinavian festival held at the time
of the winter solstce. The word is of
uncertain origin. says The Housekeep-
err. but It probably is taken directly
from the Icelandic word "jol," mean
ing feast. 1t Is curious to note how
many nations of old marked the turn
of the year"--that is, the December
soIstice--by festivals. The Egyptians,
the Hindus, the Persians, the Greeks
and the Romans all had feasts at this
season. bur especially the Northern
NJ TONS the Teutons. the Scandnav-
ians, the early natives of Brtain-re-
joiced at the event of the suns turn on
its cOruse. The festival was kept with
much eating and drinking and noisy
iollity. one Of the ceremonies was the
placing of an enormous log of wood
often so large that II required the
strength of several men to bring il in
upon the hearth fire in the huge fire
place. The burning Of the Yule log
was thought TO insure good fortune 10
the family, especially when charred
pieces of the log turned the year be

Christmas Song

In every babe that gains the light
Through rack of human pain,
In each new-breathing soul tonight
The Christ-child lives again.
In every drop of anguish, pressed
From pallid woman's brow,
In every virgin mother-breast
His Mother whispers now.
And wise men through the dark
ness HE,

Was your SOULS journey far?

Lighting an endless sea;

And He must die for me

A. l.. Watson's matching of his

reused great interest among the lovers
of racing. The race is to be run

Immediately after the mass meet
ing last night the sheepmen met in
the auditorium and voted with two
dissenting votes to reduce wages to
herders to the maximum of $75 a

purpose of forming an organization Of
local sheepmen to handle matters of

RED CROSS RELIEF
 IN CENTRAL EUROPE

But for timely assistance of the American Red Cross during the last year. large proportion of the 2OOOO.- 600 population of the Balkan States might have starved or perished from disease or exposure. Six million dol lars worth of food, clothing and medi- cal supplies have been sent to the Bal. kans-Roumanla. Bulgaria. Albania. Montenegro. Serbia. Bosnia and Greece since the beginning of Red Cross re. lief operations in Central Europe. while millions of dollars worth of food alone has been sent to the needy in these states
 The money expended by the Red Cross in this stricken portion of Flu. rope has been used to set up hospitals, orphanages. dispensaries. mobile medi. cal units and to help in the general re construction of devastated areas. Amer. iican tractors and other farming imple. ments have been sent to the agricul. tural regions where aid has been giv. en In blowing the land.
 By the last of this year probably all American Red Cross agencies ad. ministering relief in Central Europe will have withdrawn. By that time, it Is believed. the people will have ap- preached normal state of living and will be able through their own agencies which the Red Cross has helped ses up to provide for thsmsslvsa

AMERICAN RED CROSS
 TO GIVE RURAL HELP
Program for Public Health and Community Welfare Is Now
 We'll Under Way.

Rural communities and towns Of less than 5000 population benefit in very large part by the public health and community welfare work of the Ameri- can Red Cross. Almost all of the S,600 Red Cross chapters have some rural sections In their territory. There. fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
 Briefly, the purpose of Rural Ssrv- Ice is to assist people to get out of life more health, wealth and happiness. In this purpose public heaith instruction and general educational progress of both children and adults play biz part.
 Recreation is found to be one of the biggest needs in rural life. There is lack of sufficient play-life for the chil- dren and social life for the adults. Picnlcs. pageants, debating clubs baseball leagues. community singing and other social events which bring the people of surrounding communities together have been organized and car ried on under the guidance of Red Cross rural workers to great advan. tage. In many instances solving rec reatlonal problems and getting people together proves to be the awakening of the community to other conditions which may be improved by united action.
 AS result of community orgsniza ton. townships in which there had been neither plans Dor interest in community progress have been organ. ized to work together with the unified purpose of bringing their community up to the most enlightened standards Lecture and musical entertainment courses have been started as result of community meetings, as we'll as cir culating libraries. Red Cross schools of instruction in Home Nursing. Care of the Sick and First Aid. In the larger towns the need for restrooms and pub lie comfort stations is being met Play grounds for the children have been established and recreational activities worked out for the year.
 In order that there may be concerted effort in carrying on the programs of the various welfare agencies in the rural districts. Red Cross Rural Serv. ice helps the organizations already on the ground The main object of the service Is to lend . hand everywhere and take the lead only where neces- sary.
