In many localities It han become a
habit or custom at Christmas time.
In j;lvlnr prewnts, to try to nlve
jiint a little more than the other per
Hon, which. In many Instances, has
lecome nn abuse, an It has forced
many, through their peneroslty and
kindness of heart, to give more than
their means would justify. This situ
ation, or feeling' should not prevail.
Many a person, through the prompt
ing of a loving heart, has giwii more
In the expenditure of a few cents, and
even In the work of their own hands,
than toiue. other person has, whose
gift represents a value of hundreds of
dollars. No matter about the value
of the gift, whether It be large or
small, it should be given, and also
received, with a kindly, loving spirit,
a feeling which should prevail at this
season above all seasons a feeling
of '"I'eace on Karth, and Good Will
to Men."

Co. Christmas creates and fosters
the same sentiment among mankind
that we ordinarily feel for a lodge
brother In other words. It makes
powerfully for a general fraternal
feeling among men, the "brother
hood of man." This, I think, Is the
most admirable features of Ynletlde.
G. W. Thomson, The i'arls Fair
One of tiie benefits of the Christmas

II. II. Iladlo, k. of Hadlock & Mc

most admirable features of Christ
mas Is that It teaches the children
the great les-son of unselfishness.
Watch the youngsters ns they pick
out presents for "papa" and "mam
ma" and others: watch them on a
Christmas morning ns they forget
their own presents in enjoyment of
the pleasure tin !r presents give, and
you wld realiz- that they learn the
great lesson of self-sacrifice at Christ
mas time as at no other season of
the year.

Grain A Christmas sentiment? Oh,
a Merry Christmas and a Happy

that's all.
I, F.. Taft, Tuff Transfer Co The
great evil of the Christmas season Is
the feeling that all gifts must be
"returned" that Is, that whoever
receclves a present must Rive one In
return. I believe that would lie
remedied if gifts were confined to the
Immediate family circle and to the
needy, who In the nature of things
could not "return" the favor.

Murray Kay, Civil F.nglneer Christ
ina doesn't seem the same as it used
to when we were boys. Why? Well,
not liecause the day has changed,
but because we liavechanged grown

now we should make Christmas
seem to other children the same as It
seemed to us.

we shift our views regurding Christ

pleasure at this season In receiving
presents, we reach the point where
we get more happiness In making
gifts to others.
