MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is going to be short and sweet like
donkeys gallOp up hill.
In wishing you a Merry Christmas we, know that
we wishing you something that is expected and
that it is almost impossible to be original about it.
But since we cannot shake hands in person with
thousands of subscribers and their families and
shout "Sl0ol" "Prost," or Here's looking at you,"
over the old cider jug with them, wish to tell
them that we prepared to forget dull care for
evening at least, regardless of whether the day
we celebrate is of Pagan or Christian origin, and
we know they shall do likewise. Pagans, Christians
and atheists will celebrate Christmas in much the
same way, which proves that we are all human de-
spite superficial appearance to the contrary. Eat
and be merry. Laugh, dance and drink whatever
the good bootcian in his genius for violating the
law is able to provide you with God knows we like
to see dry Christmas. But we are thinking about
the snow. This is still Christian nation, thank
God, and Christian nation will never tolerate q
I;hrr:Stmas insufficiently celebrated.

were in the shoes of the buyer,
paying stock worth $97,0OO,00O for
a property on which he was to fix

Young mentioned 8 per cent,
Brookhart replied that that was
far more than the average earn

utilities were a sure thing.

Young attempted to brush the
Iowa farmer aside, by suavely re-

must allow private enterprise a

well that the government can Dor.
