THE sriRIT OF CHRISTMAS Christmas Is the day on which the nativity of the Savior is observed. People from all over the world have contributed to tho origination of Christmas Day, It has becoma a time when all people in due respect to Christ are at peace with each other and extend good will to their fellow men. Out of the desire for expression of their cheerfulness and willingness to help othen, has arisen the Christmas songs, carols, dramas, Christmas trees and social fctivals of the present day. Preparation for Christmna includes decoration of homes, business build ings, and streets. Gifts of cards and other otken:; of good will are sent to friends. Little children give strict attention to their manners and be havior. Some of the finest sports, of the year come at this time, such as coast ing, skating and dancing. Eagerness to aid the sick and poor is shown through the purchase of tu Red Cross Christmas seals and by visits to those in distress. Various clubs take charge of Christmas bas kets to be distributed on Christmas morning so that every one may en joy a feast. On Christmas Day th enjoyment in every hom is complet ed by a family feast. Perhaps no writer so well describes the happiness and philosophy of Christmas as does Charles Dickens in the following word: "It is good to bo children somotimes, and never better than at Christmas, when its nn'ghter founder was a child himself."

SANTAREPUESTO TOTS North Pole, Dec. 17, 1929. (continued on last f age) 4 laW nAi 4 I 4 Mat hHBm M WORK OF KED CROSS OF EVERYONE Largest Portion Received From Slf Remain In 3ui Wii Void Maupin seems to be backward in the sale of Red Cross ChrUtmas seals. The county committee recent ly sent to many of our people a sheet containing 100 seals, with th . Information that if not kept they iheuld be returned, and in many eases their instructions have been followed and the seals returned to tht committee. The seals were sent out direct from county headquarters, that mode of distribution being deemed more effective than by put ting out individual solicitors. Red Cro s seals are sold to pro vide a fund with which to administer the society, to care for thore who are suffering from the dreaded tu berculosis, as well as to provide medical treatment and care for those little ones whose parents are too poor to pay for same. Many a child has been granted a new lease on life htrough the relief extended by'the Red Cross, made possible by the funds collected from seal sales. Many a home has been brightened and made cheery thereby. Of all the jnoney collected by seal sales all "but five per cent re mains in tHe rtate where the sales are made; 60 per cent is approtion ed the individual counties and 35 v font troes to the state at large. It is thus easily seen that such money comes back in the form of good done the afflicted. Maupin should not be placed in ths list of delinquent. There may be some here who the Red Cross "ay be called upon to aid; there may be some who have been stricken by tuberculosis and whose cases may he alleviated by the aid '-s cnl sales. Each Mauplnite should make himself a committee of Bne and see to it that the quota assigned this place Is sold, thereby putting this community on a higher plane that would be t M the sheets of stamp? be returned iu fne senders. It is a duty we owe to the society which is sponsoring the distribution of the! stamps and a recognition of humanitarian work it is doing, the' WHEAT GIVEN COVERING OF LIFE-SAVING SNOW About 12 Inches Now Cover Grain. Fields Shielding Sown Wheat From Frot Snow began falling early Tucs day night and when daylight came the next morning about ciht inches lay upon the ground. Before the storm ceased fully a foot of snow had fallen. The storm was wide In Hs scope, the whole of eastern Oregon receiv ing a plenteous supply. More than a foot is reported from the higher levels, and in Maupin that depth was reached. This snowfall will be a blessing to this section, for much wheat rown last fall had pot sprouted above ground. The recent rains had satu rated the soil, causing the sown grain to sprout in the seed bed, and if a heavy frost had come before the snow fell much of it itood a chance of being frozen. Hud that occurred it would have been neces sary to reseed in the spring, with a possible consequence of that seed failing to materialize as standing grain, with the snow comes a feeling of optimi.m and presages a bountiful wheat crop next season. Small fruit cakes often make ap propriate Christmas gifts.

MAUPIN PRICES ARE LOWER 'Compared With Those of Outside Dea'r Maupin Saves There' is but little caure for Mau pinites to patronize mail order houses with an idea that the goods obtained there are cheaper than those sold at home. A glance and comparison of the prices quoted by Oliver Resh and those of an outside dealer will convince anyone that the home prices are lower in nearly every in tance, while the goods are exactly the same.

Number 7 K-O'S FEATURE CARD AT LAAT LEGION Floyd and Nick Holloman and Albert Hachler Put Opponents to Sleep Many Attend Saturday night's smoker at Legion hall was featured by three knock outs, they being secured by Floyd and Nick Holloman and Albert Hachler, each opponent being im ported for the occasion. The smoker opened with a bout between Howard Conley of Tygh and Dick Delco, Wapinitia. Both boys showed a willingness to mix and at the end of four rounds Howard was given the decision. Doug Holloman and Jack Mc Dougal from The Dalles next occu pied the ring, going four rounds. , Doug proved the superior scrapper and the referee, Johnny Williams, elevated the Maupin's boy's arm as token of victory. Bob Duckworth from Bend proved er inW his face with such rapidity and force that when the irrigation section lad woke up he found himself posing as the loser, a knock-out hav ing been adminhtered to him. The main event, a scrap between Maupin's pride, Floyd Holloman, and Knock Out Brown of Prineville, end ed as usual the Maupin lad con necting with his opponent's mid-section at will and crossing to the jaw with pnuches felt clear to the town at the end of the spur line. Brown got his in the second round, going i l he tmoKer really began with a bout between the Conley midget and little Bobby Holloman. The little fellows mixed like genuine pugs. Bobby was out reached by Conley, who was given the decision at the end of three two minute rounds. Smoker Notes Knock Out Brown lived up to his monixer, being knocked out again. He has figured In several fast " en counters around the lower part of Eastern Oregon and has always given a good account of himself. He has several knock-outs to his credit, but in Floyd Holloman met a man a little bit faster and who carries a sleeping potion in either mit Albert Hachler showed great im provement over his last appearance here He has cca. ed his jumping around, making wild swing3 and now leads out with both hands in straight punches, working fast and deadly. Dick Dolco's nose was again in prominence. A little tap on his pro bocis : tarts the blood running, and Howard Conley opened up the ruby itrenm with his first punch. At the close of the smoker An nouncer Morris presented "Tod" Mc- Clasky and Abie Westlund to the au dience, saying that the latter had Is- sued a challenge to fight Doug Hollo- nan at the coming rmoker at The nalles. Those boys should make up whirlwind scrap, as both are fast nnd willing. Johnny Williams refereed the first hrre fcout. Bates Shattuck being srbiter in the semi-final and main vent.
