Some Printer, But a
 Better Road Builder

Do you know that..I came near being printer once" said Anton Eide, tbe well known Alaska Road Commission man, as he stepped into THE TIMES office to reuew old acqnaintanceship.
 How was that?"
 Well, back in Butte when boy 1 went to work in little cne-man ofice-worked about three weeks and got so I.could set up several stickfuls day, when one day the boss, who was correcting the matter I had set, sud- denly said that he thought he could do better if 1 was out of the office, that it took him twice as loLg to correct my matter as it would take for him to set it and that Twas only in the way. any how. This was sad blow to my am- bitons, but got my hand on the door knob, told the boss what he could do with his lob and made Q safe get away '
 But Anton grew up, tackled many things and finally landed with the Alaska Road Commission, where he has been for some years, and in his own bailiwick he is known not only as a good road builder, but mighty fine fellow as we'll.

STATEMENT BY VISCOUNT
BRYCE

Viscount Bryce, whose knowledge
of and interest in the Near East lend
to his opinion on Near Eastern mat
ters the value of authenticity, has ex-
pressed in letter to Charles ".
Viclrey, General Secretary of Near
East Relief, statement concerning
the Armenian people that it is a
pleasure to us to print. The state
ment follows:
"The Armenian people represent
the most industrious, intelligent and
generally progressive element in
Western Asia. They have been edu-
Gated by American colleges and
schools and have appropriated the ex-
cellent teaching given them. The
Armenians are, moreover, not only
the most industrious cultivators but
the best handicraftsmen in the coun-
tries where they dwell, superior in
intelligence and diligence to the Mos
lem population. The destruction of
half of the whole nation by the Turks
in the horrible massacres first per-
petrated by Abdul-Hamid in 1895,
and in the still more frightful mass
acres which took place in 1915, has
beenAa terrible blow to the civilization
Of Asia Minor and the surrounding
countries; and the best chance Of re-
storing prosperity to these countries
lies in saving what remains of the
Armenian population. There are still
hundreds of thousands of children
surviving, and to save these survivors
that they may grow up would be to
render a real service, and a perman-
ent service, to regions that have long
suffered from the blight of bar
barous tyranny"
(Ed. Note. 1T will be remember
ed The Messenger has appealed for
aid, this Christmas time, for the hun
cry and unfortunate children above
referred to. We know that somehow
or other we have fallen short in pres
enting the matter and yet we do hope
that many of our readers will have
the vison that in this terrible emer-
gency lies real opportunity to for
ward the work of the Great Master

LOVELY ARGENTINA

The Messenger received a pleasant
call last week from Miss Daisy Hud-
son, who lives in the Argentine
Republic and who has been visiting
friends and relatives in this section
for number of weeks. Spanish is,
of course, the language of Argentina,
and as Miss Hudson was born in that
country, she speaks that language
fluently She also speaks English
with equal facility, her father being
English and her mother an Ameri-
can lady. The latter formerly lived
near Grand Blanc and went out to
Argentina as a missionary. Miss
Hudson herself is connected with a
college in Buenos Aires, in which city
she has always lived and is lady of
much general culture. Buenos Aires
is the third city in size in the world
has magnificent homes and public
buildings, and is in every way very
progressive. It's population is more
that two million. Miss Hudson
states that the educational system of
the republic is very fine and that the
climate in the section where she lives
is delightful. The temperature of
the two cold months, June and July,
is about. like that of fall in this state
and for the remainder of the year
is warm and sunny. Miss Hudson is
much interested in church and tenn
perance work and has given several
very interesting talks along these
lines, in schools and churches, during
her visit here.

CHARITY
(By S. E. Kiserl

(By S. +. Kiser)
God may not notice when a king
Ascends a throne or lies in state;
He may not watch when couriers
bring
The news that seals a nations fate,
But He who rules the cloud and wave
And sets the stars in place beholds
And sheds His grace upon the brave
Who bear the lost lambs to the folds.
1t matters little when the proud
Have reason to forget their pride,
But when the roaring storm is loud
1t matters much to turn aside
And lift the fallen and the weak,
To shield the crippled from distress,
To cheer the hungry and to seek
The lost lambs in the wilderness.
The days are brief, the nights are
long,
And fearful children ask for bread,
But if the grasp Of Greed is strong,
Good Will and Kindliness are not
deadl
The rich forget while to care
Too much for power or pride or gold,
And, here and there, have time to
bear
A lost lamb gently to the fold.

Christmas Games

yUl a circle. A slipper Is required.
Also nice, slippery floor. The
first player slides the slipper. He tries
to land It under the mistletoe. IL he
fails another makes the attempt. If
he succeeds there Is a lively scramble.
1t concerns the young lady toward
whom the slipper points. She must
seize It and get away before caught.
Then the guests are given humorous
gifts previously wrapped), and are
admitted Zone at time) to the Christ
mas room to deposit them In the
stockings.
Another jolly game Is played with
Christmas stockings, a number OF
which are previously hung up.
These are placed in separate room
and the name Of the person for whom
each is intended is concealed upon II.
Another Christmas stocking game
calls for huge stocking of tough tis-
sue paper filed with toys of all kinds.
Each guest is blindfolded, given q
light rod or cane, turned three times
around and told to hit the bag. The
first to break the stocking gives the
signal for a general scramble, each
guest being supposed to get one Of the
trinkets or souvenirs thus scattered.

~ HE INSTITUTION Of the festival
VI of the birth of the Savior Is
attributed by some authorities
TO Pope Telesphorus. who died A. d.
13S.
In the early days Of the Christian
religion II was one of the most NOV
able of feasts, being often con-
founded with the Epiphany and cele-
brated by the eastern churches I'm
April and May. In the Fourth century
the urgency Of st. Cyril Of Jerusalem
obtained from Pope julius i. an
\order for an investigation to be
made concerning the day of Christ's
hativity. The result of the inquiry,
made by theologians of the East and
the West, was an agreement upon the
twenty-fifth of December.
AS told In the gospel Of st. Luke,
Christ was born in the night. There
fore, divine service is performed on
the night of December 24-25. 1t Is
the custom in Roman Catholic
churches to usher in Christmas day
by the celebration of three masses,
one at midnight, the second at early
dawn, and the third In the morning.
This custom dates from the sixth
centr1L
~ 9paratory to Christmas the bells
are rung at midnight throughout Eng
land and the continent. After the
solemn celebration Of the mass In the
churches Of the continent, which are
magnificently adorned for the festival,
Il is customary for the worshlpers to
nartake Of collation..
Indeed, Cousin Jack, we owe you
great deal for helping to decorate
the room for our Christmas party"
"Then, as you acknowledge the debt
\ \come over here under the mistletos
Land let me collect some of the over
head charges"

LIVELY TIMES YEAR AGO

One year ago last Wednesday the
Clio State Bank was robbed of ap-
proximately $35,000.00. 1t was one
of the largest robberies ever pulled
off in country place in the state and
for few days was so completely
successful that it furnished the main
theme for conversation throughout
Michigan. Finally, T. Harry Alex
ander, assistant cashier of the bank,
and three confederates, Jack Ryan
New York gunman), Owen Gleason
and John Running were arrested,
brought to trial and sent to prison,
where they are at present serving
their sentences. Pete Farrell, an
other of the robbers, who is claimed
got away with several thousand dol
lars in cash, is still at large. The
robbery was the most thrilling incid-
ent in the whole history of the village
and monopolized, with its successive
developments, local public interest
for number of weeks. Alexander
was convicted on March %, after the
jury had been out but fifteen min
utes. Following his trial his attor-
neys made application to the Su-
preme Court for new trial and we
notice that in the docket of that
court, as published few days ago,
the matter is scheduled to come up
for hearing at the January session.

Hawkins-Rundlett

The Free Methodist parsonage at
Montrose was the scene of a pretty
wedding, Thursday, December 15, at
which time Miss Stella Hawkins,
became the bride of Everett Rund-
lett, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Dell Rund-
lett, Of Birch Run Township. The
ceremony was performed by Rev.
John Gillis, brother-in-iaw Of the
bride. The groom is greatly respect
ed in this vicinity, where he has re-
sided all Of his life, and also enjoys
the distinction of having served his
country gallantly in France and Ger
many during the progress of the
World War. The bride is most es-
Unable young lady, who for some
time past has held responsible posi-
ton with the General Motors Co., at
Flint. We understand the young
people will reside on the groom's
farm in Birch Run Township and that
they may enjoy sthe fullest measure
of happiness and prosperity will be
the sincerest wish of a host Of
friends.

MATRIMONIAL
Walker-Taylor

Last Saturday evening, at the resi-

occurred the marriage of her son,
Arthur, to Miss Doris Walker, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Amos Walker, of
Mayville. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. A. T. Camburn in the
presence Of the immediate relatives
and one or two close friends of the
principals. The bridal pair were at
tended at the altar by Miss Phoebe
Wilmot as bridesmaid and John
Walker, brother of the bride, as best
man. The groom is a worthy and
popular young man, who grew to
manhood in this vicinity and served
gallantly in the navy during the
World War, while the bride is
a charming young lady who
is equally popular among the young
people of the village. The newly
weds, we understand, have begun
housekeeping in the handsome new
family residence on East Vienna st.
and here, in the language Of the fairy
tale, their many friends will wish
they may ''live happily ever after"

STATE HIGHWAYS
ALMOST |MPA|eSAbLE

Yerinpton today finds itself ma
rooned in sea OF mud, with roads on
all sides practically impossible. The
roads includcd in the state highway
system, with the exception Of the five
miles OF finished road south Of the
city, arc in a particularly deplorable
condition, notwithstanding the thous-
ands of dollars being disbursed regu-
iarly by the heads 81 our highway de
partment.
The Highway engineer has dabbled
in politics in local issues and has
battled with the law makers in Wash
ington. He has issued bulletins il
prodigious quantities and done
enough engineering TO build a small
Panama Canal, but the roads that have
been built do not appear to compare
favorably with the amount OF money
and effort that have been expended.
Ii is the hope OF the taxpayers OF
the state that the Highway depart
ment will, in the coming year, find II
convenient to do less engineering and
lawmaking and build more roads.

A. S. Phipps and Professor Woods,
of the Yernigton Grammar school,
have been busy the past week securing
support fer the proposal to establish
a consolidated school system in this
valley. Four schools. Perry, Plum
mer, Barrett and Meissner, are being
formed into "a dist9ict, and the resi-
dents OF these districts are pctitioning
the County Commissioners TO provide
for the consolidation in the 1922 bud
get One hundred per cent of the
residents Of the Perry and Plummer
districts have signed the petitions and
it is expected that equal success will
be met with in the other schools
