CHRISTMAS HYMN

Sing, Christmas bells!
Say to the earth this is the morn
Whereon our Savior King is born;
Sing to all men-the bond, the
free,
The rich. the poor, the high, the low.
The little child that sports in glee,
The aged folk that totteri.g 60
Proclaim the morn
That Christ is born,
That saveth them and saveth mel
Sing, angel host!
Sing Of the stars that God has placed
Above the manger in the east;
Sing of the glories of the night.
The Virgins sweet humility,
The Babe with kingly robes be-
dight-
Sing to all men where'er they be
This Christmas morn,
For Christ is born,
That saveth them and saveth mel

A CHRISTMAS CAROL

Come back to Bethlehem,
The year 10 on the wane;
A truce to strife that wearies life,
A truce to grief and pain.
Oh, heart, return to Bethlehem
And hear its song again!
If siren voices Turing thee
Have turned thy thoughts aside,
If thou hast quaffed the bitter draft
OF envy or of pride,
If thou in agony of shame
Hast thy dear Lord denied,
Come back today to Bethlehem!
Though thou hast wandered far,
No rest shall fill thy yearning breast
Until thou see the Star.
Oh, heart, return to Bethlehem,
Where yet the angels are!

A Merry Christmas, children all,
Rich and poor. large and small.
To north, to south: to east, to west
In every land where Christ is guest
A Merry Merry Christmas!
Now may we love our neiGhbors more,
And may we give from out our store,
That all may have merry heart
And take a gladstone, joyous part
In our Merry. Merry Christmas!
For when dear Christmas Eve draws
nigh,
Be It the time when you and
Shall put away all wrong and sin.
And bid the holy Christ-Child in
To bless our Merry Christmas!

PROHIBITION PARTY
WATCHING ATTITUDE
OF MAIN PROSPECTS
To Name Presidential Candi.
date If Others Are
Not Dry.

CHICAGO. March 2s.-Whether
the prohibition party will nominate
candidate for the presidency and
take an active part in the coming
presidential campaign depends upon
the attitude Of the major parties
the strict enforcement OF prohibition
says Virgil g. Hinshaw. OF this city.
chairman OF the party.
There has been considerable
speculation among political observ-
ers as 20 whether the prohibition
party would continue its political
activity now that prohibition has
become a constitutional enactment.
Questions have been asked whether
the prohibition party leaders would
feel that the party's object had been
attained and the time at hand when
prohihiuonists might return to or
become affiliated with one or the
other OF tho major parties.
Chairman Hinshaw believes the
battle Is not over: that the fight for
enforcement OF prohibition is still
20 be won.
Our organization" he declares,
will continue as long as the alco-
hOlic serpent continues 10 wiggle it's
ld4l- concerning the pdrtyS att-
tude in the presidential campaign.
Mr.. Hinshaw said It's policies to be
enunciated in its national conven-
ton at Lincoln, Neb., July u. would
depend entirely upon the action TAX
on at the conventions of the major
parties.
IF the major parties fail TO come
out unequivOCally for strict enforce
rnent of existing dry laws we will
certainly run "A prohibition candidate
for president" said Mr.. Hinshaw
"Of course. IL is up to the con-
vention whether we will or will not
run one anyway But If the major
parties fail 10 enforce not only the
18th amendment but existing pro
hibition laws as we'll 7 believe there
viii be break-ups that viii bring
many Of their voters and their big
men 10 our side"
As TO the party's probable action
concerning lesser candidates. it is
said that il. "will seek the election
OF representatives in congress. gov
ernors. members OF legislatures and
others who are charged with the en-
forcement OF the dry law"
Ernest H. Cherrington. OF West
crville. o.. declared that the Anti
Saloon league. of which ne is secre-
tary, will work 10 defeat candidates
who are avowedly opposed TO pro-
hibition enforcement.

BIRDS
You Should Know
BY the Indiana Department Of. .
Conservation.
BLUEBIRD.

Blu EBlkD.
The bluebird. so far as is known,
cannot be accused Of stealing fruit
or preying upon the crops OF the
farmer. It has been esta blished
that IS percent of its food consists
Of insects. and the most OF them
are harmful TO man. As a singer he
does not equal his cousin, the robin.
His notes are few and not great
" varied. though sweetly and plain
lively modulated and never loud.
In the autumn they gather in fiocks
and seem reluctant To make ready
for their journey TO the south.
There are at least three species Of
common bluebird on this continent.
while in Indiana woods there is the
blue jay and the indigo bird.
The range Of the bluebird extends
from the Gulf OF Mexico north
through the eastern part OF the
United States to Novia Scotia. On
tario and Manitoba. and west TO the
Rocky Mountains In the southern
part Of its range il is a resident; in
the northern part a migrant. It
comes north very early and returns
south very late in the year.
The adult male bluebird is about
six and half inches long and has
wing extent of about nine inches.
The whole upper parts are Of rich,
