Too often, the familiar phrase,
‘ ‘T h i Christmas Spirit", is too
closelv allied to visions of roast lurk-
ev, mince pie. plum pudding and
presents galore, but it 4 broadest
meaning should embody "Peace on
Earth. Good Will to M en".
We are prone to cast off the man­
tle of the C'hristntas spirit about
January 2nd, feeling that, like the
broken toy, it has fulfilled its mis­
sion.
There is no "closed season’ ’ for
the feeling and practising of the
true Christmas spirit and let os try
this year to stretch it along into the
Soring and really practice. "Good
Will to Men” .

the store offers, and the copy
should he changed frequently. The
advertising columns should he made
as interesting as any other part of
the paper, and the merchant’ s ‘ad’
should appear with the same regu­
larity as the editor’ s news. An ad­
vertisement in the local paper is by
no means charity. It brings big
retuui~: first, iu direct business
when it is handled with a little
common sense; second, in building
up the community.
’ The paper should be made as
impottant an agent of a town’s im­
provement and prosperity as the
church or school. The great prob­
lem of the small town in these days
ot centralization and parcel post is
to mare itself a good place to live
in and a pleasant place for the coun-
trv people to come to. It it doesn’ t
do that it is doomed to disappear.
“ So no town should Ire so short­
sighted as not to give every en­
couragement to the man, who is
trying to make a newspaper there.
He is in one sense the most import­
ant citizen. He can do more for
the town both at home and abroad
than any other one man. He should
he hacked up ill his effort to do
business at business prices and in a
business way. It would he just as
sensible ior you to let your schools
run down, or your stores run down
or your churches run down, as to
let your newspaper run down” ’.
