Bishop Clair was formerly pastor of
the Asbury Methodist Episcopal

that time he rebuilt the edifice and
raised the membership to its present
huge proportions. With Bishop r. f..
Jones of New Orleans he was elected
bishop mt Des MOines. He has been
assigned to Liberia TO fill the place
made vacant by the death of Bishop a.
p. Camphor of MonrOvia, who died last

special correspondent of the Chicago

observation of conditions in Haiti, has
declared that drunkenness is at the

Washington, Dec. 22. = Statements
made by prominent business men at
the conference in Chicago called by
the American Bankers Association,
with a view to organizing a hundred
million (S1OO,OOOOOO) dollar corpora
ton to finance foreign trade and build
up American export trade, prove of
great interest in connection with the
movement which has been started by
a group of Negro bankers and business
men to organize three million
(S3,000,00O) dollar Industrial finance
corporation.
Just as the American Bankers As
ISOLATION, in the organization of this
gigantic corporation, is seeking to
build up American export trade, in the
same way the Allied Bankers and In
dustrial Corporation will seek to build
up Negro business in America.
The Washington Post speaks edi-
torially of the big movement to
stabilize foreign trade, and also men
lions the significant fact that the stock
of six million (S6,000O00) dollar
southern finance corporation, recently
organized to finance exports from the
south, has been oversubscribed This
corporation is an answer to the need
of supplying foreign markets for
southern products. The Allied Bank
ers' and Industrial Corporation has an
aim of equal importance to Negro bust
ness. 1t is the answer to the great
need of assuring proper financial aid
to Negro business generally.

NOR nearly two thousand. years the
peoples of all nations have, in
one form or another established
Il custom of commemorative the birth
of Christ. In most countries this great
celebration is carried out by the
churches in beautiful feasts, cere-
monies and carols. In our country it
is Il national holiday and business is
suspended and everyone gives himself
over to the pleasure of feasting and
rejoicing.
Joy is in the heart and soul of ev-
cry one and the spirit of forgiveness
is uppermost in the minds of all men.
The word Christmas is derived from
the medieval Christes Masse, the
the year, Christmas time, when all
men shake hands and forget the past
and old animosities are forgotten, for
tits the day on which THE Christ" was
born and the earth rejoices.
Our Christmas comes on December
the 25th of each year, and all children,
be they rich or poor, know when
Christmas time comes and their little
souls are filled with rapturOus joy at
the coming of Old Santa Claus
There never has yet been created n
more joyous, thrilling, exciting day for
little children than Christmas. Oh,
the many beautiful fairy stories that
have been written about the mythical
"Old Santa Claus" to add to the joy
and happiness of the little children
who sit up late Christmas eve to catch
Il glimpse of that great good man who
has gift for every child in the land.
The custom of making presents Is an
old and ancient usage consecrated by
the ages Christmas is day of re-
joicing for all mankind, but we look
upon it and think of it more as chill
drens day, because they bring us
greater happiness and pleasure in their
innocent mirth and gladness in show
ing and telling us what "Old Santa
Claus" brought them. Christmas time
is the day of all the year when we ex-
change kind greetings with one anoth-
err and give to each other gifts or pres
ents in appreciation of our friendship.
The Christmas tree was an old
Roman custom and passed on from
generation to generation and from one
nation to another, until now it is a uni
versal custom and in every home
where there are children you will most
likely see the Christmas tree.
The hanging up of the stockings on
Christmas eve is also one of the old
customs to reward the children for
good behavior during the past year. If
a child's conduct had been good during
the year he was rewarded at Christ
mas time with Il Stocking-full of pres
ents and good things to eat. But If he
had been bad boy or girl their stock
incs were filled with ashes to express
displeasure of the parents at the con
duct of their child. In our country we
have added another novel pleasure to
Christmas by sending Christmas cards
and friendly greetings, a custom which
was introduced in the early sixties
Thus we have attempted in brief and
hasty manner to tell about Christmas
and its origin and why we feast ant

the feminine name Mlldthryth was
formed. Because it was translated to
mean mild speech Z was much used
as a name for gentle damsels with re-
liglous inclinations.
King Merowald had three daughters
whom he named Mildgyth Mildburgh,
and Mildtryth-thus employing all YER
sions OF the name then In use. All
three became nuns OF holy order. The
two latter were later abbesses, one In
Shropshire. the other in the Isle OF
Thanet. They were finally canonlzed In
recognition OF their sanity lives, as
Mldburgh and Mldreda.
Thus Mildred, Mildrid, or Mlldreda las
you prefer came into existence and
straightway won great popularity in
Shropshire and, later, throughout all
England. Germany adopted Mildred.
but It has never had definite vogue
there IN spite OF It's supposed Teutonic
origin. The consonants were too harsh
for France and Spain, though the latter
occasionally employs Mlldreda, accent
ing only the vowels in the soft Latin
manner.
Mildred was the name given to the
famous daughter Of Burlelgh and
through her. It's place among English
maids was forever assured. Recently Il
was revived TO even greater vogue IN
England and America and etymologists
claim that the record Of babies CHS
tened by that name in the last ten years
of the nineteenth century, would be as
founding and unbelievable.

that 1t is not an impossible proposition
to buy a farm. even though a very
small initial payment can be made at
the time OF the purchase.
If Queen Annes county real estate
goes no higher in 1920 than it did in
1919, it is certainly not very apt TO be
cheaper. When the time comes that
the great majority of farmers till their
own. land, there will be an era Of pros.
perity and success that has never YET
been equalled In Queen Annes.
Evening journal., 1920-02-03

partively few years ago good Queen
Anne's county land could be bought for
$50 an acre. Fine land could be had at a
slight increase The year 1919 saw
si00 an acre established as an approx
mate average for the same land, and
unless all signs fail, the prices will go
even higher in 1920.
There is no reason why the rocky
hillsides Of Pennsylvania should sell for
two and three hundred dollars an acre,
while the broad. level. well-drained,
fertile fields of Queen Annes may be
bought for considerably less than half
that figure.
