CHRISTMAS PROGRAM AT
METHODIST CHURCH

Christmas day was observed by
the Methodist Episcopal church in
Blackfoot by the rendition of two
most excellent programs given at
the morning and evening services.
both programs.
AS the last tap of the bell at II
o'clock died away, the sound of mu-
sic was heard coming from the en-
trance to the church as mixed
choir of seventeen persons raised
their voices in that glorious Christ
mas anthem, "Hark, the Herald An
gels Sing" The choir marched to
their places as they sang this song.
From the very first the audience sat
in wrapped attention until the &C.
hoes from the last note died away
in the distance. All the numbers on
the program were especially we'll
rendered and if anyone deserves
special mention it was the rendition
of "Holy Night, Silent Night" The
double male quartet sang the first
verse. while In the second after the
singing of each of the first two
lines, by the male voices, the echo
was heard sung by the ladies' voices
while in the last verse with the full
chorus of sixteen voices, Miss Vir-
ginia Pierce with her full and rich
soprano voice sang the obligato
which complet ely overwhelmed the
entire audience. Mrs. Ruth Park
inson deserves much praise for her
untiring efforts which made the
music a success.
The sermon by DR.. Gillian was es.
pecially we'll adapted to the day,
his theme being, Taking Christ to
every child" and for full half
hour he held his audience in abject
attention as his words breathed
them the Christmas spirit. The
program was closed by the double
male quartet singing "Watchman,
Tell Us of the Night" and the aud
ience departed with the feeling that
another Christmas morning had
passed into eternity but that there
still remained enough OF the day for
them to bring a little Christmas
cheer to those who were in need.
In the evening the rendition of the
pageant Carrying Christ to the
Children of the World,' under the
direction of Mrs. w. G. Allen, was
staged in a very beautiful and i'm
pressive manner. Throughout 1t
lbreathed the Christmas spirit of
1921. During the course of the
Pageant, the representatives of each
class of the Sunday school was seen
to march past the stage and there
lay theit gifts upon the altar for the
children of the world, after which
the hermit appeared and appealed
to the entire audience to assist in
this work. The offering totalled
about $4,000 which will be used for
the purpose above mentioned, the
Sunday school getting credit on
their Centenary pledge for the am
ount. Thus ended another Christ
mas day with all it's joys. its sor-
rows and its undying Christmas
lSpirit.

LOCAL ORGANIZATION SUPPLY
THE CHRISTMAS GOODIES
FOR
ITS CHILDREN OF ALL AGES
PLENTY OF MONEY IS THE RE-
PORT OF THE COMMITTEE
IN CHARGE

Christmas of 1921 will long be
remembered iby the forty-five fami-
lies that were made happy by the
combined efforts of the Elks Lodge,
the Merchants Association ana the
Odd Fellows, Commercial Club, Ro-
tary and Individuals. The commit
tes in charge had all the boxes
6iilled Saturday morning when the
drays backed up for their loads.
Each family received large sack of
potatoes, sack of flour, beans, sugar,
syrup, coffee, cheese, tomatoes,
chickens, cabbage, rolled oats,
prunes, crackers, cocoa, candy, nuts
and toys. The committee had work.
ed diligently in the preparation OF
these boxes and had in a unique
way found what each child desired
Santa to bring and that little toy
was placed in the box. Thus each
child was supplied with the very
toy his or her little heart desired.
While there sno immediate suffer-
ing for the wants OF life in Black
foot, still there are many families
that will be in destitute circum-
stances before the winter is gone,
and these families could not afford
to indulge in the Christmas things
lhat the committee supplied, and
over 175 children we're supplied
with their Christmas wants and
toys. We are glad to note the
wonderful Christmas spirit the
committee displayed in their en-
deavors to please the little ones, as
well as their untiring efforts to get
the many things together for de-
livery. The committee reports
1plenty of money and potatoes, in
fact there is a surplus of money
left with the committee to be dis
posed Of.

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1921

When many of us were young we
were shocked when we heard an oc-
casional hum or rowdy remark that
"the world owed him living" Ev-
en- as boys we realized that work
was a blessing and that the world,
plus our own efforts, equalled a hv-
ng. But today the country is full Of
agitators, making their living with
their jaws, who are preaching that
the world owes every man a living
and that all a man has to do Is to
go and take 1t from somebody who
has plenty. But what will happen
when the few who have plenty are
drained to the dregs? Canibalism.
we suppose.

A CHRISTMAS RECESSIONAL

The tumult and the shouting dies;
the holly and the mistletoe are
gone to join the vanished pies; the
turkeys melted like the snow; the
candles on the Christmas tree are
burned down to the spruce and
pine; the soldier sand tin infantry
lie broken, in a battered line; the
sawdust from the waxen doll is
strewn on carpet, rug and stair;
the ply day youngsters, great nd
smll, thrive ON return to simple
fire; THE nuts and raisins disappear;
the gladdest dy of all the year looks
back from the soon closing doors !;
and though the day Is done, and
though there's quiet in the streets
and marts let's not let the glad
spirit go, but keep the sweetness in
our hearts, Oh, Santa Claus, be
with us yet, lest we forget, lest we
forget
The wreath is withered on the
wall; the feast is but memory
the lights are dim in hearth and
hall; the voices die that rang with
glee; the jumping jack is lodged
and fast but half way up the string
the Mother Goose is torn at last,
although it was linen thing; the
stockings from the hearth are down.
our legs are thrust where the pres
ents were; it's just prosy human
town where elves and spirits used
to stir; the popcorn ball is yester-
days; the berried wrrng's a broken
chain; and we go on our busy ways,
for it is everyday again; but though
the Christmas candle burned and
flicker with feeble flame, and
though the Christmas days re-
turned to Time whence yesterday 1t
came. Pray Christmas cheer. be
with us yet, lest we forget, lest we
forget.
The bumpers dry that held the
wine; the toast 1t gave us cannot
die; the hand Is cold that writ the
line; the music of it vets the eye;
the hearth Is dark that blazed with
light; the warmth that cheered us
still shall glow; the lamp that
shone forth in the night goes out
its cheer shall never go; the voice
that rang out its glee is still-the
gladness of 1t rings; the singer
passes, yet for me the sweet ness of
the song he sings live on and on
and still is sweet; the holly mould
ers in the dust, but something stays
and Is complete that time shall
waste nor ruin rust; when all the
day is done, when all the glamour
of it gone, l bid you cherish, every
one, the memory still on and on; !;
and Join a simple prayer with me
that not upon the loss we weep; but
look beyond that we may see the
soul of 1t that we may keep. Oh,
Christmas spirit, tarry yet, lest we
forget, lest we forget.

WHY CLOVER FAILS

! Comlapints regarding the failure O
red clover are much more common
than formerly. Many farmers have
become discouraged in trying to grow
this crop. This is especially unfor.
tunate, according to Prof. M. r. Mill.
err of the Missouri College Of Agricul.
ture, since red clover is the most i'm.
portant soil-building crop within reach
of the Missouri farmer.
Probably the most important factor
in clover failure is the lack of lime in
the soil. From careful Investigations
made by the Missouri Agricultural
Experiment Station, this deficiency
is known to exist in nearly half the
soils of the state; but this condition
may be remedied by the use of lime.
A second very common cause of clo-
yer failure is the general decrease in
fertility of Missouri soils due to con-
tinuous grain farming and to eroson.
Such soils, having lost third of the
humus and nitrogen originally con-
tanned, run together badly and cause
the clover to freeze out in the spring.
They are aloo low in nitrogen so that
young clover plants do not get
quick, thrifty start.
A third cause contributing to the
clover failure is the reduction of
available phosphates in the soil, due
to the'decrease in the supply of organ
ic matter. This condition, however,
can be remedied by the application of
phosphates alone at the time clover is
town or with the nurse crop in which
tie clover is seeded. Although other
causes of clover failure exist, such as
poor drainage, insects and plant dis
eases-to say nothing of unfavorable
seasons-the fact remains that most
Missouri soils, aided by the applica-
ton Of lime and phosphates, will pro-
duce a good stand of clover. The clio,
yer itself then adds to the supply of
organic matter and nitrogen-making
future crops much easier to grow.
