LOS ANGELES, Oct. 1S.-'I will take my French Ballot with it's eight marrow cylinders to Phoenix for the big speed carnival under the direc- ton of Barney Oldfield on Nov. g and 12,' declared Ralph De Palma, worlds most noted automobile racer, tonight.
 De Palma did not definitely enter the big meet until today, when he placed his signature on the dotted line of an entry blank and forwarded 1t to Oldfield.
 In order for De Palma to get per mission from Henri Ballot to use the $25 900 car on a dirt track he had to cable France to the builder of the greatest of all speed chariots. Ballot gave his permission after De Palma explained that the Arizona state fair had been postponed this year and that Oldfield had arranged the speed car nival in conjunction with the Mer- chants Industrial Exposition, the two entertainments being arranged in or der to prevent thousands accustomed to spending a few days in Phoenix each year during fair week from being disappointed and that the winner of the big race over the state fair track recently rebuilt will be considered the worlds dirt track Champion. the title now being held by Tommy Milton, who will also compete in the races. T am anxious to break the 1o0-mile record now held by Milton and made on the Phoenix track" said De Palma.
 De Palma has been the target for many years of promoters who have 1 tried to get him to race on the Phoe- nix track and 1t remained for his old rival, but now close friend, Barney Oldfield, to turn the trick.

With the assurance that De Palma will race at Phoenix Nov and 12, Arizona racing fans will gee the greatest aggregation of race pilots ever gathered together on dirt track. Jimmy Murphy, Roscoe Sarles and Tommy Milton have already signed

Christmas 1921

Nineteen hunered and twenty.
one years have passed down the
annals of time since salvation
was given to the world through
the birth of Christ, and since
that time a celebration, by the
high and loWly, has marked each
anniversary.
That seed of gratitude implant.
ed in the heart of man for One
who gave His life that eternal
life might be the portion of all
humanity, has blossomed into
the flower of life everlasting and
remains unwithered by the pass
ing of time.
A man never sinks so low in
the depths but that the coming
of Christmas awakens a feeling
of gratitude marked by soften.
ing Of heart and glow Of re-
ligious fervor-he may not quite
recognize the feeling but, he is
influenced to look upon the world
with more toleraney, and his
e. es, perhaps unconsciously,
look upward toward the kingdom
wherein his Savior now dwells.
Christmas is a time when all
of the differences, and petty dis
agreements should be forgotten.
We should start the coming year
with clean slate and be rid of
all past trouble in order to be
ready to shoulder the responsible
lities of the coming year.

The Beulah Holder Missionary
Society held an enjoyable meet
ing in a class room of the Metho
dist church recently. It was {
business and social meeting.
The President presided and reaC
a lesson from Acts 1:23 and Enc
Cor. 1923. A Christmas box
was planned to send the little
orphan we support.
This was the day to elect
officers, and we had a very
pretty speech from our presi-
dent. Aunt Laura, answering
for the body, told her how much
we appreciated her fine work
and loyal spirit. Most of the
same officers were elected and
are as follows:
President, Mrs. Lonnie Rich.
ardson; Vice President, Mrs.
Seymour Jones; Treasurer, Mrs.
Evans Davis; Corresponding
Secretary, Mrs. McCleskey; Re-

Supplies, Mrs. Walter McGehee;
Social Service, Aunt Laura Muir
dock; Voice Agent, Medley.
At the close of the business
session, a committee spread a
feast of all kinds of good things
to eat. We had with US our new
pastor whom everyone has al
ready learned to love. He gave
for the repast, and
everybody helped themselves.
When the meeting was over,
we thought it would be a good
idea to meet thus more often.

pressed her. She had tried having
one once, but she not only felt like a
fool when she "dOlled up" as she ex-
prescott, but she was frightened
when she saw the chauffeur's look Of
disgust when she told him she had no
calls to make and no shopping to do
except to the corner store.
She didn't care about going to a
smart hotel for tea in the afternoon.
Now and again she liked to have a
bite" in pastry shop.
Louis was a musician. He was one
Of the most popular OF dance eonduc-
tors. He made money from royalties
on his popular songs-a great deal of
money. She had been often told that
musicians were temperamental flirts.
But the ones she had seen were not.
They liked cigars and pinochle and
fat checks. That wasn't so tempera-
mental. Neither was there anything
temperamental about the music pub
fishers and the friends of Louis who
came in of an evening for cheese and
crackers.
She was nervous when the maid,
broke dishes, though she knew there
was lots of money to buy more. She
was naturally careful housekeeper,
and the money had come. a little too
late or else she was one of the rare
kind who couldn't spend it! Very
rare, but not at all pleasant.
When she went to shows she fell
asleep. She longed to dust behind
corners and under the rungs of chairs.
She loved to bake a good cake.
But prosperity was hers, and she
didn't want to let Louis know how
hard 1t was for her to be prosperous.
He came in this time when Mrs.
Louis was sitting stringing corn for
the little tree she had bought 1t was
Christmas eve.
Louis was very evidently excited.
He asked his wife to come into the
little bedroom so no )ne would hear.
Louis hadn't become used to talking
before a maid His wife noticed that

table, is written on a slip of paper

adapted to Christmas festivities. The

Each cache is merely a mound Of snow
covering lightly quantity Of gift
packages securely wrapped There
need be only three or four mounds
and the gifts should be divided

walk has been long, the first cache to
be ,found--thats IS. the one farthest

had made mistake
Right here is where Mr.. Owl earned
his title. He was sitting in tree

THE RIGHT THING
AT
THE RIGHT TIME
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
ANNIVERSARIES.

Moderation, the noblest gift of Heaven.
-Euripides.
ID ECENTIi at silver wedding
IN anniversary Of a prominent New
Yorker the invitations, which were
engraved in silver, contained these
words at one side: "The demands of
war relief are pressing. We hope for
your presence-not presents-at our
silver wedding anniversary" Among
the guests present at this anniversary
reception were scores of New York's
most noted society folk, the very
people whom we usually look to for
leadership in such matters of social
usage. So if you are looking for
precedent in adding to your invita-
lions for anniversary receptions or
other occasions when presents might
be expected some indication of the
fact that you would prefer not to
have them, here it is.
The fact is that often people re
frain from having wedding anniver-
sary parties for the simple reason
that they hesitate to. send invitations
that will make the recipients feel that
they are obliged to make some sort
Of present. When this is for tin
or wooden wedding the obligation Is
or golden wedding then there is more
cause for this hesitancy.
Usually any anniversary for any
thing less than silver wedding takes
the form of party only for ones Init
mate friends. But when one has been
married twenty-five years then there
Is real occasion for large reception
This may he in the afternoon or eve
ming. For the afternoon affair the hours
on the invitation cards would usually
he from three to six, though guests
seldom do arrive before half past three
or four and many late Corners linger
after the six o'clock hour: No guest,
however, would arrive after the last
hour mentioned on the card.
Bear in mind, however, II you are
sending an anniversary present that
although a wedding present is sent
to the bride, the anniversary present
Is sent to both husband and wife.
The question of whether or not to
wear ones first wedding frOck is one
that puzzles some women when plan
ming their twenty fifth anniversary, and
really 1t ought not to be very difficult
to solve There is the best of prece-
dent for the custom but when the
bride of twenty-five years has changed
very much in form the wedding dress
may be extremely unbecoming to- her
or It may need very considerable
alteration to make 1t possible to wear.
The effect then is not apt to be pleas
Ing, and the woman so dressed may
hook very much less attractive than II
were dressed in reception frock
less rich In association. Under no con-
dition should she wear the bridal
veil, however, as this is alone appro-
pirate to the maiden bride.

of his poultry until he could carry it
to his home.
AS I told you, this happened long
before Mr.. Fox was clever; he would
not do such a thing now.
So he called on Mr.. Postum and
toad him if he would take care of the
chickens he would give him two fine
ones to pay for his kindness.
Mr.. Possum said he would and that
he would store them safely away I'M
der rock by his house where there
was O cave.
Mr.. Fox trotted back and forth all
night with fat chickens which he put
in the cave under the rock, but he did
not know that as fast as he put them
