School Events
BY ELIZABETH O'LOUGHLEN

An impromptu program will be giv- en by the high school pupils Friday afternoon At the early part of the week nothing had been planned, but later it was suggested that we too, enter into the spirit of Christmas by having program. Readings and games will be diversions of the after noon and at the conclusion of the en- tertainment, a delicious spread of ice cream, cake and nuts will be enjoyed.
 Examinations in several different subjects will be given by Miss Tenn pie the beginning of the New Year
 Many of our pupils have been un- able to attend school on account of an attack of humps. The epidemic is prevalent among the children, but we are hoping no more cases will de- velop.
 Miss Elsie Spence, teacher of the intermediate grades, has been con- to her home since Tuesday with fined to her home since Tuesday with an attack of humps. Mrs. Nc Donald is teaching the children dur ing her absence.
 Edith Catherine Smith celebrated her birthday by entertaining some of her friends at a theater party on Saturday evening. After the show the guests departed to Edith Gather ines hope where a luncheon was served.

NEW SPECIES OF FOX
 FOUND IN MONTANA

DARBY, Mont, Dec. "A (by Assocl- ated Press) Jack Kerlee, local trap per, has discovered what is said to be species of fox hitherto unknown in this part of America. The animal is larger than the red fox and of rich cream color. The United States bio logical survey has been asked to 1den- tify it. It Is believed that the fox pos sibly had roamed down from Canada where there are several specimens not found in Montana.

The Message
 Of Christmas

II am thinking of you today, be- cause 1t is Christmas, and I wish you happiness. And tomorrow, because it will be the day after Christmas, l shall still wish you happiness; and so on, clear through the year. I may not be able to tell you about it every day, because l may be far away; or be- cause both of us may be very busy; or perhaps because 1 cannot even af- ford to pay the postage on so many letters, or find the time to write them But that makes no difference. The thought and the wish will be here just the same In my work and in the business life, I mean to try not to be unfair to you or injure you in any way. In my pleasure, if we can be together, I would like to share the fun with you. Whatever joy or suc- cess comes to you will make me glad. Without pretense, and in plain words, good will to you is what l mean. in the Spirit of Christmas"
 It is not necessary to put message like that into high flown language, to swear absolute devotion and death- less consecration. In love and friend ship, small, steady payments on a gold basis arc better than immense promissory notes. Nor indeed, is it always necessary to put the message into words at all, nor even to convey it by tangible token. To feel it and to act it out-that is the main thing.
 There are a great many people ill the world whom we know more or less, but to whom for various req sons we cannot very well send a Christmas gift. But there is hardly one in all the circles of our acquaint- ance with whom we, may not ex- change the touch of Christmas life.
 In the outer circles, cheerful greet ings, courtesy, consideration; in the inner circles, sympathetic interest hearty congratulations, honest en- eouragement; in the inmost circle, comradeship. helpfulness, tender nees,-
 Beautiful friendship tried by sun and
 wind
 Durable from the daily dust of life.'
 After all, Christmas living is the best kind of Christmas giving From "Christmas-Living and Christmas Giving" by Dr. Henry Van Dyke.

A Major Motive

Abou Ben Adhem's name was writ ten by the Angel of Dight ahead of all the best because he loved his fellow men, and every successful worker rev. els in the love of service and is lured on by some major motive; the law yer to win his case and establish legal rights between man and man; the merchant to transport and sell the commodities of life; the artisan to make and turn out finished product; the physician to heal the sick and de- termine the laws of health; the preacher to save the lost and preach Christ crucified. But as to the teach CT, what is the teachers major mo- tive?
 AS we begin our new years work it will be well if we pause moment and earnestly ask ourselves the question: What is my major motive in assum- ing the responsibilities of teacher? Is it because I desire so much to rem der great service of love, inspiration and guidance to the boys and girls who are entrusted to my care? Is this my major motive?'
 Everyone who has been taught by teachers as teachers come and teach CTS go, holds some one teacher in sacred remem brance; some one teacher was higher and better than all the rest; some one teacher gave the vital touch. I would like to be that teacher, wouldn't you? - Frank W. Simmonds, superintendent Lewis ton, Idaho schools.

SUICIDES LAST YEAR
 AT VERY LOW EBB

NEW YORK, Dec. A (by Associat- ed Press) The suicide rate in Unit States reached the lowest ebb in 1911, with percentage of TAP, according to figures compiled by Frederick l.. Hoffman, statistician embracing the period from 1900 to 1920. During 191S. there were 3,818 cases of suicide re- ported against 4,569 in 1908, which showed the highest rate of death by elfdestruction.
 MT. Hoffman stated in his report that 1t was hard to assign causative factor of the suicide phenomenon, but that in periods of economic depres- sion, higher rate is noted. During the eras af prosperity, there is not able diminution, he said. The most sinister aspect revealed by an andy sis of suicide, is the increasing num- Der of murderers who take their own lives following the commission Of homicide, MT. Hoffman declared.

HIS NAM E

She ransacked every novel,
 And the dictionary, too. But nothing ever printed
 For her baby's name would do; She hunted appellations
 From the present and the past, And this is what she named him
 When they christened him at last: Julian Harold Egbert
 Ulysses Victor Paul Algernon Marcus Cecil
 Sylvester George McFall But after all the trouble
 She'd taken for his sake, His father called him Fatty,
 And his schoolmates called him
 Jake. Minna Irving in the New York Times.
 Mother (to her seven-year-old son, William. who has been growing free of speech): Billy, dear, I will give you ten cents a day for every day you don't say darn fool.'"

BOOST

Boost and the world boosts with you Knock and you're on the shelf; For the booster gets sick of the man
 who kicks
 And wishes he'd kick himself. Boost when the sun is shining Boost when it starts to rain; If you happen to fall, don't lie there
 and bawl,
 But get up and boost again. Boost for the towns advancement Boost for the things sublime For the chap that's found on the top
 most round
 Is the booster every time.
