ALand Where There
Is No Christmas

There is an American missionary
living and working at Shanghai, China,
who now and then writes most inter
esting letters descriptive of life in that
far off country, the land of the Ris-
ing Sun. These letters he mails to
American editors and with each is en-
closed a Chinese paper napkin as a
slight souvenir This man has the
knack of writing an interesting story
and many of his letters get into print.
The last letter received by this paper
describes how Christmas is observed
over there The letter follows:

cause the roads are too narrow and

because Chinese houses have SO few

afraid of falling off the "bottorn-side T

nobody has shown him the way here.

Former city officials of Libby and
others who believe in the efficacy
of pasteurization of milk were inter
ested in recent news story from Can
ada. 1t told of there being 300 cases OF
sceptic sore throat at the town 81
Kirkland Lake, with five deaths at the
time the item was filed.
It was stated that the disease had
been traced directly to two worknen
employed by one of the diaries,
The germ is very malignant one
and is known as streptococus haze
molytious," said DR. Robb. The disease
is usually long drawn out one, and
highly contagious"
"The milk from the dairy was UNI
pasteurized,' said DR.. Robb Had II
been pasteurized there is little doubt
but that the epidemic would not have
broken out, as pasteurization kills the
germs"

campaign will endeavor to arouse o
greater degree of true sportsmanship
among the people of the. state. A
worthy enterprise.
This paper apparently loosed an
avalanche of discussion a few weeks
ago when it said that some are in favor
of a buck law. Protesting letters have
been coming in ever since the article
appeared The report was largely re-
sensible for the large number who
attended the recent meeting of the
Libby Rod and Gun club, the evident
intention being to see that that mat
ter Of a buck law should be killed for
all time. At that meeting resolution
was adopted condemning shooting
from cars, from highways, and speak
ers condemned with vigorous language
spotlight hunting.
Now craftsmanship is glorious
thing, not only in matters Of the hunt
but in all phases of life. The attempt
to increase it in the hearts of men IS
a worthwhile undertaking. Can sports
manship be developed to that point
where everyone will consider it the
act of scoundrel to hunt deer by
spotlight or to take two deer where
the law says each hunter is entitled
to only one?

Can anyone explain with any degree
of reason or logic the reason why some
people invariably write Xmas TO
signify the great holiday that is OBJ
served throughout all Christendom!
The entire significance of the day
arises from its association with the
birth of the Christ and its true
observance implies a veneration OF the
Man of Galilee To signify the Christ
by an *" is to rob the word Christ
