WE WONDER WHY IT is?

You can smile at the little Kew
in boy who starts going to Sun
day school and washing behind
the ears just a few week before
Christmas but all Of us are as
guilty as the small boy, only in a
| different way. We may not show
by our appearance at Sunday
school, or by a lack of soil behind
our ears that we are feeling the
christmas spirit yet we openly
admit it in smiles and hand
shakes. Something makes us feel
more comfortable, more peaceful,
more contented and more satisfi-
ed with those about us than we
feel at any other season of the
year. And feeling that way IS is
impossible for us to keep from
manifesting it in some way or
another.
We have often wondered, and
perhaps you have, why we can
not cultivate that feeling to such
an extent that it will stay with
us all during the year. We've
thought what wonderful place
this would be if everybody in
town was as happy and content
ed and helpful to each other all |
the year around as they are
about Choistmas time. Wouldn't
we have the ideal town? And if |
that same spirit prevailed every
where twelve months in the year,
wouldent this world be pretty
much like paradise?
We know Of no way whereby
our readers c an capture the
Christmas spirit and keep it in
their systems through the entire
year. We wish we did. But we
believe there is on e method
worth trying, and our town ism
going to suffer any, even If that
method fails. Try smiling as
much in the oiher eleven months
as you smile in December and
be just as eager to help the other
fellow hold his smile.
