THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
(By Agnes Davenport Bond)

All night the cold, bright stars in yonder sky
Shone on the same in the years gone by;
when darkness faded, ana the east
Was lighted up with red and misty gray,
The sleeping and villages aWoke,
Behoding early dawn of Christmas Day.
Sweet day whose gladstone cheer will never cease,
Because 1t gave to us the Prince of Peace
And since that time many years ago.
When Christ the Lord born upon the EARTH
Upon this day, all Christendom unites
In common thought, to celebrate His birth.
And while we make homes so bright, today,
With holly evergreens and colors gay
The old time Christmas spirit may we feel;
The simple trust the faith, the peace, the cheer,
The love that reaches out to all mankind,
That strikes the chords of sympathy SO dear.
And may we feel. while gifts bestow
The joy that from unselhshness does grow;
The Joy of sacrifice, of true goodwill,
That ghtens burdens mtgates despair
And then q joyous Christmas will be ours,
And whatsoever give well truly share,
Not merely gifts with gold and silver bought,
But such as emanate from loving thought.
The value of a gift is not its cost
The worth is in the giving, and the
Who gives his gifts with cold and empty heart,
Receives no joy for all that he has done.
So let our hearts be filled with warmth and cheer,
And may we keep them thus through all the year;
And when the day is over, and is hushed ~
The sound of merry bells and songs of praise, 3p.
Yet, may the spirit in hearts remain,
That should be ours upon this day of days.

COMMENTARY On WHITE RULE
Indians Have FIourished Only Where
the White Man Did Not Want
Their Lands.

In only two parts of all America are
the Indians as numerous today as when
the white men came-in Canada, north
of the Saskatchewan, where the popu-
latlon is actually increasing; south Of
the Rio Grande, In Yaqul land, where
whip and sword and rifle have failed
TO conquer what should have been
pacified. In northern Canada the fur
hunting Indians have prospered In
peace for two reasons. The white men
did not take their lands. They did
not want them. The land of the Far
North was only good for furs and so
the second reason. or from purely
selfish motive 10 increase the output
of furs, the Indians have been treated
with absolute justice II with absolute
despotism. The safety of the lone

fool editor keeps right on doing 1t
whether you put your advertisement
in the paper or not.
Why? Because 1t is his business to
grind out a paper that people want to
read. And they read 1t whether your

there they will read someone else's
ad.
Got all the business you can handle

yourself. One of the big packing

know that if they withdraw their ad-

until they had less than they could

of indorsing a little item that APP

USE YOUR PAPERS
Mr.. BUSINESS MAN

A slick guy with a smooth line of
talk, creased hair, pressed pants and
a big card printed in three colors
seems to be an excellent combination
to separate business houses for SO
TO $40 for box space on a pasteboard
card after the aforementioned slick
guy tells you it is advertising. Don't
believe it. It's charity. He has no
interest in your community or your
is your money and you will find him
perfectly willing to add one lie to an
other to enlist your interest for he
will not see you again after he has
cleaned up on the town and taken the
train out.
Sometimes it is a thigamajig that
he is going TO hang on every tele-
phone in the county, sometimes ii is a
hotel directory and other times it may
be some new Wallingford folderol
that will gain the attention of even
more conservative business men. They
have an excellent line of talk, these
fellows. They have to have, for that
is what they live IN. Ever hear of a
business man who had to enlarge his
store or a town that doubled its trade
territory as a result of this kind of
advertising? / never did, and do
not believe that one of the slick guys
did either.
But | know of several towns that
have made Phenomenal progress and
of thousands of others that are being
boosted as a result of advertising
through the home town paper. And
they keep right on boosting whether
you advertise in it or not. Did you
ever stop to think of the lumber of
editors of hometown papers that are
giving their life's work to printing
the interesting things and everyday
happenings that bind the community
