A Song of Christmas
By Nine te M. Lowater

From down the distant ages thru
the centuries dark and dim;
Comes a flash of light supernal
and the fcho of hymn.
Tis the light which shown from
HN.ven, WHEN the child of
peace was born;
And the song was sung by Angels
on the first fair Christmas
morn.
Peace on earth, good will from
Heaven, how it rolled along
the sky.
And the ages all have listened as
the echoes passed them by.
Even now the star is shining and
its light is soft and clear.
And the angels still are singing If
we win but pause to hear.
Loud and louder grows the anthem,
nations swell the glad refrain.
Telling to the future ages all the
glory of His name.
Unto earth a song is given and a
Prince of Peace is born
Let US join the angels chorus on
this joyous Christmas morn.

OUR FLAG

There are many flags in many

There are flags of every hue,
But there is no flag in any land
Like our own Red. White and Blue.
Then hurrah for the flag, our

There is no flag in any land
Like our own Red, white and Blue.

betting by major league base ball
players have been denied emphatically
by the base ball commissioner.
The dismissal OF Rogers Hornsby ~
manager Of the St. Louis Browns gave
rise to reports Of such an inquiry in

Explaining he always was ready to
investigate anything harmful to base
ball, Lands said he would not pry
into how players spend their money
unless the method of spending would
AFFECT the game itself.
The commissioner said he had no
evidence Hornsby had bet on any
thing but the horses. That, he said
affected the Raiah's bank roll. but
not his base ball ability. He explained
Il am constantly looking out for
the welfare Of base ball. That is part
OF my job. Any time that any one has
any information that is Of Importance

ceive 1t. That is exactly how the sit
