In warfare, because the possibilities
of further mechanical developments

Poison gas was first used against

is these curious twists of justice

Of all the radiant days of the year
there are none whose light has ever
shone so far as the light of Christmas.
For nearly tow thousand years it has
shone with light that could not be
quenched, and it shines today serene
and fair and steadfast, even tho it
may be dimmed by lingering clouds of
man-made conflict. Other days we
have that are dear to the heart, but
Christmas is little dearer than all
other days to the heart of grown
up men and women, and infinitely
dearer to the hearts of children. The
light of Christmas shines for them all
the year round. They hark back to
the Christmas that is past and they
are always looking forward to the
light of the Christmas that is to come.
Christmas is the day of days to all
humanity. but it belongs essentially
to children.
Christmas typifies all that is best
in mankind. 1t is the elimination of
the human mind throughout the ages
dwelling upon the wonders and mys-
teries of existence, turning to rever-
ence for God and His representative
on earth. 1t expresses the realization
of men of their duty to one another
and so it is marked by the bestowal
of gifts and other sentiments of ben
evidence and well wishing.
The makers Of newspapers, concern
ed as they are with the do.ngs, mani
festations and thoughts of their re-
spective communities, and recording
them in their more important aspects
for the information of readers, are
brought into an intimate sense of the
spirit and meaning of Christmas.
Thus, in the true spirit of the occasion
and with due appreciation of all it
impl' es, the Medina Sentinel extends
Christmas greetings to its readers.
Our Yuletide thoughts go out to the
people of this community, and our
thanks are due the patrons and kind
friends who have gwen us practical
support or extended encouragement
during the year. Particularly do we
extend greeting to our splendid and
loyal corps of correspondents. May
this be the best Christmas you have
ever spent, is Our wish to all.

FEEDING CATTLE IN SUMMER
Animals Have Seldom Been Marked
Down When Marketed Because
There 10 q Surplus.

The Increase Of chores In summer
viii operate against great increase
OF cattle feeding during the season Of
field work, for the average farmer
does not care to feed cattle night and
morning In summer when tired out
with the long days work on the land.
But II one cares to investigate, he will
find that summer-fed cattle seldom
have to be marked down when mar
keted because there Is surplus Of
stuff In the terminal markets.
The ideal ration is made up OF rich.
tender grass and grain. The feeding
period Is shortened and the gain per
hundred pounds Of grain IL enhanced
as compared with dry-lot feeding In
winter. Counting all the factors In
the game. the risk In summer feeding
for market Is far less than In winter.
