Glad Christmas times are drawing near.
With Christmas spirits o f good cheer.
One prayer we would that ail men hear.
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.

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

headquarters convenient to all and receives vis

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

for this city before they are given to more ap
