The First Christmas Gift

Christmas is again here. Many
gifts have been bought and sent to
gladden. the hearts of relatives and
friends. But in doing so, did we
bear in mind that great and glor-
ious first Christmas Gift, that, be-
cause it brought good will toward
men," has ever since been the
source of all other gifts that we
give and receive every Christmas?
This particular first Christmas
Gift is so great and glorious, be-
cause it is the gift of God, sent di-
rectly from heaven. 1t is none
other than God Himself, as He re-
vealed Himself to sinful man in
His Son Jesus Christ as the Savior
of Mankind. This is the very gift
that the shepherds found wrapped
in swaddling clothes, lying in a
manager"
Have we also found Him? Did we
prepare cradle for Him in ouI
hearts? Oh, that all may find Him
and receive that Christmas Joy,
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1925-12-23

that filed the hearts of the shep.
herds on that Holy Night. With
out Him we can not celebrate
Christmas in true Christmas
spirit.
Oh, how easily He is found.
Bethlehem is not far. The Christ
ian church, the Bethlehem of to-
day, has Him, and is only too glad
TO reveal Him to all that as the
shepherds come to see Him.
May therefore every gift that we
give and likewise every gift that
we receive this Christmas, again re-
mind us Of that First Christmas
Gift found by the shepherds at
Bethlehem.
Now let us all with gladstone
cheer
Follow the shepherds and draw
near,
To see the wondrous gift of Cod
Who hath His own dear Son be-
slowed

Christmas Messages
from Ministers of Eagle
Rivers Congregations
"Peace and Good Will /"

Peace on earth to men of good
will" is the sweet refrain echoing
in our hearts during the happy
Christmas season. The cold and
selfish world pauses in the pursuit
Of its ambitions, gains, conceits,
and as if by some magic power, be-
comes animated with deep spirit
OF friendliness and generosity.
The heart of man beats with
love and JOY, and this feeling finds
outward expression in many ways.
The busy world has ceased its hum;
the rich and the poor have forgot
ten their wrongs and shortcomings,
and are once more bent on making
life more pleasant. Friends and
relatives are remembered with
tokens of joy, while young hearts
are gladdened beyond expression
with gifts and well-filled stockings.
Christmas is the peculiar holt
day of the Christian year. 1t is
rich in belief and hope which
brings to every mind its best COM
fort and consolation. This is its
human purpose and end. Yet there
should be no small consideration of
the Holy Infancy. Though it is a
festival Of children, it is also the
festival of the adult. The Infant
Christ is as much to his followers
as the Christ Crucified. The weak
ness and dependency of the Babe
in the manger should move us as
tenderly as the suffering and aban-
donment of the Victim of the
Cross. In each case it is the Word
made flesh and dwelling among us.
TO all wish a happy Christmas.
May all enjoy the blessings of this
great festival. Peace and Good
WIZ as true today in its message
of promise and gift to the ran
somed children of the Redeemer's
inheritance, as it was to the start
led shepherds in the solemn mid
night centuries ago. Peace and
Good Will" Father Shank.

The Christmas Tree of Good
will

will
Christmas has many symbols,
each of which is dear to our hearts,
each of which has its special signi-
ficance. There is the Star, suggest
ing prophecy fulfilled. And as of
late | have beheld the evening star
hanging low over the horizon one
cleaning point has seemed to
beckon as of old it drew the Wise
Men to the fulfillment of their ex.
/ pectations.
There is the Carol, reminder of
the angels song of heavenly cheer
"a fitting vehicle for the expires.
sion of our answering human joy.
There is the Manager, mute SYM
boil of His lowly birth.
There are the Gifts, recalling the
homage first offered on Christmas
Day, and tokens of that love Christ
has taught us to make known.
Other symbols there are which
have attached themselves to Christ
mas, springing not from incidents
connected with the birth of the
Holy Child, but from customs that
arose in the celebration of that
event.
There are the Christmas Bells,
ringing out the message of glad
ness.
There is the Christmas Feast,
making the occasion a festival of
rjoy.
There is the Christmas Basket,
ministering to Christ's poor on His
natal day.
There is the Christmas Tree, with
its candles, denoting the light and
love of the Christmastide.
1t is interesting to note the orr
gin of the custom of the Christmas
Tree. The idea was born In the
warm German heart of Martin
Luther, who, returning home on
| Christmas Eve through the German
forest, saw great star shining
through the branches of an ever.
green, and who was so moved by
the mystic charm of that sight that
he cut down a small evergreen tC
take home and decorate with can,
dies to gladden. and inspire the
hearts of his little ones. The Gus
tom began by Luther has grown
until, throughout Germany and
America, it has become all but uni.
versal. Beautiful symbol of divine
and human goodwill.

Arbor Vitae Farmer Burned Out

The residence of John Hanson,
farmer in the town of Arbor Vitae,
was recently destroyed by fire. The
cause was evidently an overheated
stove. The Hansons are now living
on the Bolger farm. They are said
to hold the record for fires in the

four buildings in flames.

Old Party Lines Divided On Question
if Wisconsin Senator Should
Ee Disciplined.

Washington, D. C.-( l-Senator
LaFollette, Wisconsin, will know be-
fore the Senate meets whether he is
to be accepted by the Republican old
guard as member of the party in
the Senate, or is to be placed without
the party pale and given committee
assignments as though he had been
elected on the third party ticket.
The question of reading the newly
elected senator out Of party councils
probably will come before Senate Re-
publicans at conference to be called
for either next Friday or Saturday.
Opinion on the subject is sharply
divided; some old guard leaders hold
ing that since LaFollette was nomi-
mated and lected as Republican, he
is entitled to his place as such.
Others hold, however, that in his
campaign he attacked President Cool
idge, head of the party, as well as
many of the party policies and coa-
sequently should be treated as the
conference treated his father and
Senator Ladd, Frazier and Brookhart
a year ago.

While the plant will have an ini-

the station have been so arranged as
to facilitate addition of new generat-
ing units as the demand for electric
service in the upper peninsula region
increases.
The rapid rate at which consump-
tion of electric power is growing in
Michigan's upper peninsula has made
the immediate construction of the new
generating station imperative, the COM

Rich Miner Wants
To Adopt Girl, Is
Sisters Agree to Plan But Father of
Child in Montana Balks
on Plan.

San Francisco, CALI -n)--John
Warren McCord, Alaskan, mining man
and promoter, who last Friday an
nounced his intention to adopt Vic
toria Deschamps, 13-year-old girl of
Missoula, Mont, now attending high
school here, stands little chance of
seeing fuIflled his hopes in this re-
speet
A chance acquaintance with Victoria
last August in Portland, Ore, led Nc
Cord to take great fancy to the child.
She was en- route to San Francisco
from her home with a sister and the
Alaskan miner assisted them when
they became confused in travelling de-
tails.
Two sisters of Victoria, with whom
she lives here, previously had con-
sented to the adoption plan but they
Withdrew their approval with the
statement that "too much of sensa-
tion now surrounds the intended
adoption"
Another barrier arose in Missoula
where Victoria's father, Tony Des-
champs, prominent rancher, indicated
1t McCord's quest to adopt the
young girl would prove fruitless and
said that even if McCord came there
to see him it probably would not
change his attitude.

ANOTHER KILLED
ON NORTH SHORE
Is Third Victim in Three
Days; Racine Man Is
Crushed to Death.
AJAX INSPECTOR DIES

T. w. MacLaren, chief inspector at
the plant of the Ajax Motors company
in Racine, walked in front of a south
bound North Shore electric train as it
was pulling into the Racine station
Monday night, and was instantly
killed. The victim was AZ years old.
MacLaren was the fourth victim Of
trains in this vicinity within the past
three days, three of them having met
death on the North Shore tracks be-
tween Racine and Kenosha.
At the time of the accident Mac
Laren was walking toward home. The
gates were down when he reached the
crossing, according to the report made
to the police. 1t is the custom to
lower these gates as soon as a south
bound train is within three miles of
the crossing. Sometimes they are
down for two or three minutes before
the train arrives.
It is thought that MacLaren became
impatient after waiting or minute
or more, He was seen to walk around
the gates, policemen were told, He
started across the tracks. The train
rounds a curve just before reaching
the station, and can not be seen from
the crossing until it is about 100
yards away. When MacLaren saw the
train bearing down on him, he was
on the southhound tracks and could
not get out of the way.
Four persons were witnesses to the
accident and all testify that MacLaren
walked around the gates and onto the
tracks.
Policemen were sent to notify his
wife. She refused to believe that her
husband had been the victim of the
accident until she was taken to the
morgue and saw the body. Then she
br Ike down.
MacLaren came to Racine about a
year ago from South Bend, Ind. Be-
sides a wife, he leaves one son, who
is attending college at Rockford, III.

SAYS TT PAYS
TO ADVERTISE.
J. Kitzrow Demonstrates
to ROtari2ns How Adj
yertising Pays.
CITES EXAMPLE HERE

1T pays to advertise" was the mes
sage brought to the Kenosha Rotary
club at its regular dinner meeting at
noon today in the Pompeian room at
the Elks club by John F. Kitzrow, di-
rector of sales of the Allen A Conn
pary of Kenosha in an address on
the subject Of the relation Of advertise
ing to sales.
advertising breaks down the sales
resistance" declared Mr., Kitzrow. ut
goes hand in hand with salesmanship
and one cannot succeed without the
other"
Not Confined to Merchandise.
He called attention to the fact that
advertising is not confined to the dis
tribution of merchandise although it
is usually connected with that BUSH
ness. He cited the we'll known case
of "Red" Grange, pointing out that the
advertising which he had received had
made it possible for him to "selP his
services at an enormous figure. He
also recalled the advertising done in
war days for the Loberty Loan and
the great success which it brought.
Advertising is not an advocate OF
unworthy good and unless behind the
advertising there is honesty and con-
fidence, it will defeat its own pur-
pose," he declared in appealing for
fairness in advertising statements.
with that, however, it creates de-
sire to possess, which desire sales sat-
iafy. A modern salesman must be
equipped not only to get the name of
the merchant on the dotted line but
also be able to advise him on advertis-
ing methods"
Cites Kenosha Concern.
Mr.. Kitzeow called attention to the
advertising done by the Allen A Com
pany here, which has been successful
in establishing that trade am e
throughout the country within few
years. He also told of experiments in
advertising particular products and
how each Of them had demonstrated
that advertising pays in Increased
sales and easier sales.
Mr.. Kit2row was introduced by John
Brine, who declared that "no business
can get far without advertising and
that the biggest successes in each line
are usually those who advertise the
most"

HELPFUL HINTS
ON AUTO LAWS
Secretary of State Sends
Out Pointers on New
Auto Title Law.
MAILING APPLICATIONS

Secretary OF State Fred R. thinner
man has issued another statement that
should interest everyone of the 60O,O0O
autom obile owners in the state.
Ready-made applications for 1926
are now being mailed by the secretary
Of state to all owners who were regis
tered in 1925 at the address given in
their last application. A blank appli-
cation for certificate of title which is
required by a new law and return
envelope with directions is also in
cluded. When the owner receives these
forms he should compare the descrip-
ton in the application for license with
the actual description of the car, TAX
ing special care to have the engine
number correct. Fill out the applica-
ton for title and send both applica-
tions with the correct fee for each in
the same envelope to the secretary Of
state.
If the car described in the applica-
ton has been sold or destroyed, the
application should be discarded; it
need not be sent to the new owner or
back te the secretary of state. If the
description is wrong in any respect, it
should be corrected. It is very i'm
portant to the owner that he describe
his vehicle accurately.
The applicant for certificate of title
is required by the law to report any
encumbrance on the vehicle that is if
the owner gave mortgage, sales con-
tract or title clause note. A debt is
not the same thing as an encumbrance.
The car may not be encountered even
though it is not paid for.
All necessary information should be
given in the application. A letter is
unnecessary. The secretary of state
gets more letters each day than fifty
clerks can read and answer. Don't
write to him for information which
you can get from your garage, bank or
police department.
After the close of 1925 no one can
obtain license for a privately owned
car without having or applying for a
certificate of title. No used car can
be legally sold unless it is titled,
Claim Discount for Age.
The discount for age will NOT be al
lowed unless it is claimed at the time
of making the application and is de-
Quoted from the fee.
The number of your license will
generally be placed on the money or
der draft or check you send in pay
ment. Be careful to have everything
correct, your name, address with street
and number or R. F. D., engine and
serial number; Fords have no serial
or model numbers; and the correct
fees.
