Our Great State

For some weeks the Pathfinder Magazine has been
publishing outstanding facts in reference to the
ous states of the nation In it's issue of December 12,

electric power plant in the world.
Some outstanding facts concerning the part Ohio
has played in the interesting. Ohio

Generals Grant, Sherman and Sheridan; total Of
100000 enlisted men, and in President Lncoln's call

Christmas

There is inspiration in the word, Christmas given
to the religious festival the world been observ-
ing for almost 1000 years Christmas in 1912 will
be different in many ways from the Christmas past
years, due to the conditions. One feature that
Will be missing in most every home, will be the fam
fly reunions, gathering of friends, the giving
person of gifts, all of which tends to lessen spirit
of Christmas.
While this Christmas finds many with heavy sad
dened hearts, should keep the Christmas spirit
alive and burning, and look forward to the winning
OF this war-so that of free country may enjoy
everything that is summed up in the meaning of the
word Christmas.
Do We realize that to lose this would
end to Chrstmas-an end to Christianity know
