For Chrismas spirit all the year; True Christian spirit far and near. To aid the poor and those we fear, To ease the heart and dry the tear. To fill the mouth and cheer the ear, To free the slave and help the seer; A prayer to Whom made Christmas dear. For Christmas spirit all the year. J ist H unt THURSDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1913, It will not be long until the MUNICIPAL coming city election when the PLANS FOR voters will be called upon to THE YEAR choose who shall handle the business o f this city for the coming year. Candidates so far have succeeded in keeping out o f the lime light. However there r.as been some talk find no doubt a little schem ing. Upon what platform shall the next mayor and councilman be elected? Forest Grove needs a moreadequet and modern charter. Representa tive citizens will be called upon to shoulder the burden o f the city’s business affairs. They should be provided with a paid manager and purchasing agent and the administration of the city’ s business thereby economised. Besides a new charter there is the question of enlarging the city’ s boundaries. The installation of a sewerage system will soon be in order. More paving, anil many other necessities imposed up on a growing city demand attention. Let us finri the right men to do these important tnings. After an ideal fall and early winter it seems that the weather prophet promises a white Christmas. Nature often appears sentimental as well as pracical. And then as no one really knows how Santa comes and goes maybe, after With the season’ s greetings. Wm. A.

The trees must force POSSIBILITIES. their roots many feet down thru the rocks in order to es tablish connection with the sources of life. Man must labor to provide himself with necessities. nd as a town is but many lives in the com posite, it must learn the laws of co-operation to obtain its proper growth. In these days oppor tunity has ceased to knock. She has established headquarters convenient to all and receives vis itors with a welcome hand. But one must call on her before she will respond. She has a large number o f gifts stored away for Forest Grove. But the city must call on her for them and pay the transportation charges. We must stop wait ing for opportunity to call. So many wish to see her these days that she is kept busy at home. Let us work together, answer the lady’ s invita tion to call and bring home the gifts she intends for this city before they are given to more ap preciative communities. It now appears that the new linotype will not arrive in Forest Grove until a few days after the first of the year. The P ress is plan ning an even better news service for its readers as soon as the machine is in operation and the *ime will be hurried as much as possible. _ , S J À FOREST GROVE PRESS GROVE .* T * '* PAGE 2 v -C ..- *Lv P ortland 6:45 a. m. 8 05 a. m. 10:25 a. m. 1:25 p. m. 3:45 p. m. 5:1V p. m. 6:35 p. m. 8:30 p. m. 11:40 p. m.
