CHRISTMAS, 1884

Los Angeles, California
Dear children:
christmas stars are shining
bright,
Christmas bells are ringing
See the wondrous heavenly light!
Hear the angels singing!
"Dearer ever to our hearts
Grows the Christmas story,
AS we worship and adore
Christ, the Lord of Glory"
Over 1900 years ago Christ
Jesus came to us a little Babe,
born of humble parents who era
died Him in a manger in Bethle-
hem. Jesus lived on earth thirty
three (33) years. He went about
doing good, doing His Heavenly
Fathers will, healing the sick,
casting out devils, and raising the
dead. He taught the people to love
God with all their hearts and to
love their neighbors as them
selves. Jesus came because He
loved us and was willing to die
on the cross to save us from sin,
and bring US into His Fathers
House in Heaven.
Though wicked men killed
Jesus, the grave could not hold
Him, who is the Son of God, and
He arose from the dead Easter
morning.
Sc you see, Christmas day
means the coming of Christ Jesus
to earth, and Easter shows that
He has power over death and the
grave.
He is the Living Christ and His

BLASTING THE YNGOES

The laugh once more seems to be on
William Randolph Hearst who has been
more than busy in recent months trying
to manufacture japanese war scare
through his papers.
Discovery in Honolulu of some more
or less lurid books written by retired
japanese navy man, in which the hero is a
japanese officer who distinguishes him
self IN war with a foreign power" :"
was seized upon as pretty definite proof
that the japanese planes would soon be
raining down bombs on the San Simeon
ranch.
Later the arrest of group of japanese
in the east while innocently engaged in
swapping pictures of bridges, was taken
as another indication that war was in the
air and that the office of the New York
Journal might be blown to pieces This
despite the fact that the photographers
were accredited japanese students sent
here by their government, and technical
ly guests of the United States govern
ment.
1t now appears that while Mr. Hearst
was scampering around trying to repro
duce his efforts of 1898, the United States
secretary of state and the japanese for
eign minister, were exchanging cordial
notes of goodwill, designed to bring
about a better understanding between the
two nations.
As a result of this exchange the
chances of war in far east are reported as
exceedingly remote
Notwithstanding the war scare activ-
tiles, Mr.. Hearst had the effrontery this
week to participate in reception at
which a visiting japanese dignitary and
statesman was presented with an honor
ary degree at Los Angeles. Mr. Hearst
made himself pretty much the whole
show in manifestations of friendship for
Japan. Miss Davies was also present

1t won't do, of course, for adults to
condone what they did in any shape or

things, are entitled to that privilege

confidence and determination which the
youngsters showed. The job is to direct

Valley Officials
Hear Coast Man

Allen Wright, San Diego city
clerk, was the principal speaker at
a meeting Of the Imperial county
division of the California League
of Municipalities held in Imperial
last night at the Veterans Memoir
ial hall
Wright spoke on the advantages
of the public becoming civic mind
ed and also the maintaining of ef-
ficient officers in office This he
advocated as a saving to the tax
payers. Public officials, he said,
who have made a study of civic
conditions. realize that they are
public servants and fulfill the
duties of their office with this
thought in mind.
Glenn A. Rick, planning and zon-
ing engineer for San Diego, spoke
briefly on the advantages Of small
er municipalities taking advantage
of planning and zoning their COM
munities for further generations.
He laid particular stress on the
fact that the large cities are now
badly congeSted due TO so many
narrow streets which difficulty can
be overcome by smaller cities who
would plan for the future.
The next meeting of the county
division will be held in BraWley
next month.

cial envelopes they brought along.
The stamp experts, it seems, have
gone to st. Marys city from the
four ends of the country. They must
be up early, stand in line at the post
office and buy the stamps. Then
they must paste these stamps on
their envelopes. Finally they must
bring back the stamped envelopes
to the post office and get them can

worth it. Ask any stamp collector.

UNCLE WIGGHY'S TOOTER
TOOT

Many things happen in the
Spring, which was the time of year
now in Woodland, where Uncle
Wiggily lived. Tne rabbit gentleman
was beginning to notice this.
In the first place the ice and snow
had nearly all melted. Uncle Wig
gily knew the ice had grown soft
because he had plopped in when he
tried to slide across the pond on it.
Then the rabbit uncle had found
Trailing Arbutus, the first flowers
of Spring, growing, and he had seen
the woodland paths drying up into
dust instead of being soft and sticky
and mucky.
And as I told you in the story last
night, Mr.. Longears had met the
Blowing Woozie Wolf and the Bad
Chap had blown up such cloud of
dust, to show what a great blower
he was. that Uncle Wiggily was able
to hop home behind it and SO save
himself from being nibbled.
Nov am going out and see what
other changes Spring has made
around here" said Uncle Wiggily to
himself as he hoped from his hol-

The rabbit gentleman was hop
ping through the woods and it was
not long before he noticed some
thing rather queer From many
trees it seemed as if rain dropped
from twigs and branches, though
the sun was shining brightly in the
blue sky.
An, the sap is running faster,
said the rabbit gentleman. That
always happens in the Spring He
knew this was not the sap from the
maple sugar trees, for some time be-
fore this he had taken this sap and
made it into sweet syrup.

the sap runs out. Well, it is good
sap, although it isn't sweet enough
to make maple sugar out of it. This
is another sign of Spring-dripping
sap"
Uncle Wiggily hoped along and,
as he felt little aches and pains of
rheumatism creeping up in one leg,
he stopped and broke off a tree
branch to use as crutch in place
of the red, white and blue one that
Nurse Jane Fuzzy WuZzy had

ADJUSTING INCOHE TAX

Revision of the income tax law so as to
ease the burden on the wage Garner or
salaried man, and deriving the bulk of the
income tax revenue from the investing
class, will meet with general approval,
except, perhaps. from those in the in
vesting class.
The little fellow depending solely
on salary or daily wage, has long since
been recognized as carrying more than
his share of the load and efforts have
been made to change things so that this
would not be the case.
Among the methods favored is 10
per cent deduction allowable on earned
income, something not contained in the
present income tax law. The house of
representatives favored such deduc-
ton on incomes up to $4,000 while the
senate raised the figure to incomes of
$4,000 Eventually the amount will be
set somewhere between these two figures.
The lowest bracket for surtaXes has
also been dropped to $4,000 SO as to
catch those who are living on invested
capital with a heavier tax.
1t has been a tough spot for the "lit-
tie fellow" under the best of conditions.
With many of them hard hit during the
past four years, the income tax makes
heavy dent in the family budget.
The proposed relief is nothing more
than justice.
