The Community Church was packed
Sunday evening to listen TO an ex-
ccllcnt program Of Christmas music by
the choir under the direction of Miss
Laubmann, assisted by Mrs. Jorgen-
sen, Mr.. Damson Miss Nourse and
others. The program was given as
II appeared in last weeks issue of the
News-Champion.
Altho in appearance a long pro-
gram, the material was SO arranged
and with such variety that the audi
ence listened with sustained attention
thruout, and many comments were
heard about the various numbers that
were enjoyed. The closing number,
an Anthem. Nazareth" with solo
part by Leonard Lashbrook was par
ticularly good. Solos by Mrs. Lawson
and Mrs. Jorgensen, and the duet by
Misses Nourse and Doig and the in
strumental duet by Mr.. Damson on
the violin and Rial Lake on the flute,
were all greatly appreciated. The
organ numbers by Mr.. Miller added
much to the programs variety and
appeal. The hope was expressed that
similar programs could be given often.

The teacher too. The teacher cannot

STILL HARplNG ON CONVICTIONS

Colorado Springs Democrat:-
We most respectfully call the atten-
ton Of those Democratic editors who
continue to indulge in praising the
late candidate for lieutenant governor,
DR.. Walter O'Bien. because "hs had
the courage Of his convictions" and
to heap damnation on those Of n
who opposed him upon the ground Of
said convictions, that Senator Phipps
is also a man Of profound convictions.
He openly defends Newberry, who also
has at least one conviction to his
credit.
These editors say that Senator o.
Brien, when his lone and lonesome
vote against ratifying the Eighteenth
Amendment, defended his act upon
The ground that he was faithfully rep
resenting the Leadville theory Of
government We concede arguendo
tie senator's claim just Is we concede
tie fact that in their vicious assault
upon Wilson's war policy, LaFollekte

lee and St Louis German viewpoint

Our National Forests

In the year 1905. Pres. Roosevelt
took possession OF the forests. The
amount OF forest land Is now one hun
dred forty nine million acres but the
wishes OF the government are that we
may have two hundred million acres.
The timber is of use by protecting
the country from floods In the

ing the country. In China. years ago.
the people cut the timber down, and
now in the spring. the snow melts and
causes great foods. The timber in
Germany was scarce. but they decided
10 take better care of IT, We use the
timber for furniture and building
houses and many other things. II
takes the snow six weeks longer to
melt where there are forest. Timber
also holds back snow slides.
The flowers in the spring and sum.
mer are very beautiful In the noun
tains. but tourists often pick great
aTmfuls and leave them to die. II Is
much better to pick few and enjoy
them than to gather many and let
them wither. There Is a mountain in
the Rockies that in the spring. when
the snow begins to melt. seems TO
form an angel. The mountain is called
Guardian Angel"
There are beautiful lakes in the
mountains that are full OF trout. There
are many animals in the forests. The
mountain sheep at times in the win
ter. are very tame and come down to
the villages to be fed. The deer and
fawns are very beautiful. They are
very few now because so many have
been killed out OF season The snow
shoe rabbit Is a peculiar animal: II

does not suffer. for he at once collects
another store.
Many thousands of people go to the
forests to camp In the summer. In
many places where the camps have
been. the fires are left burning. This
Is very dangerous on account OF the
forests. 1t Is worse If there is wind
for the wind carries the FIRE into the
forests. causing many acres to be
destroyed. Many campers do not
seem to notice the signs of warning
about throwing away the lighted stubs
of cigars. or emptying burning tobac-
CO from pipes
When leaving a camp. the campers
should clean up all the rubbish around
the camp and leave 1t clean for those
who come after you. They will enjoy
Il lot more to go into place that Is
eiean.
When campers cut into a tree to
carve an initial. 1t often kills the tree.
and It most always causes the bark
to crack. Many trees are gradually
dying from the carving Of initials. Let
rs be careful to do everything we s.n
TO keep our forests beautifsi and in
tersting.

WALTER HoLuSTER'S RECORD
Remarkable Work at College by

its student body a young man who Is
and has been totally blind since

obtain a college education This
young man is Walter w Hollister
of Bennington, Vermont. who entered
Vermont this fall having previously
attended Notre Dame for year.
In spite OF the serious handicap
under which liolister is working, he
was near the head of his class at
Notrc Dame receiving all grades
above 80 with the exception Of two,
the lowest of these being only S5.
When he first entered college. Hol.
lister used a devise similar to type
writer with which to take down. lee
lures, but he soon trained HI mind
to remember class room talks, type.
writing them in his room later. Hol.
lister is majoring in English courses
at Vermont, as he intends to write
short stories after leaving college
