The message of Christmas Is love.
Its emblem Is radiant, thankful, con
tented childhood. Without love and
without children there could be no
real Christmas. The form might sur
vive but the substance would be lack-
Ins.
Unhappy must be the adult who can
not make himself a child again in
spirit at the Yuletide. For Christmas
is the universal children's day. Men
and women are superfluous except as
they make themselves partners with
those whom the day glorifies.
A Let us, then, lay aside the affecta
tion and arrogance of manhood and
fjji womanhood and be children again.
'i 1 Let us adopt their point of view and
H' put ourselves In their places In the
4 places of these sons and daughters of
i ours and of the sons and daughters of
l our neighbors. It was only a year or
j$ two ago, as it seems, when we hung
m our well-worn stockings In a row along
x the mantel shelf, while our fathers
and mothers looked on with unfeigned
pleasure at the Innocent confidence we
showed In what the morrow would
bring forth.
Even as you and I. It all comes
back in a flood of memories. Life
Mas simpler then. Our desires were
less pretentious than those our chil
dren voice now. Modest remembrances
they were that bulged toe and heel of
the stockings mother knit.
Life and its circumstances change,
but the essence of Christmas never.
The same happy childhood, the same
restlessness, the same snail-like creep
ing of time as the holiday approaches.
The same parenthood, too the same
planning across the reading table after
the boys and girls are abed, the same
loving consideration of what this or
that child most desires and how far
the family purse can properly be
stretched to permit some further pur
chase. Every home Is nssured a Christmas
If it lias a great, warm heart pulsating
In tune with the hopes and joys of
childhood. Exchange.
Cliristmas Sttorning
Not namln' any names, we are wil
ling to admit-that there ore folks In
tills world whose Christmas dinner
doesn't interest us In the least ex
cept that we hope they'll have plenty
of food for reflection, and that after
the meal Is over they'll get their Just
desserts.

The wrapping of a Christmas gift la
nn expression of the giver as much as
the gift itself, asserts Miss Aranilnta
Holmiin, Instructor in hoiHo art in
the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege. "A pretty gift will lose much of Its
chimii If It Is wrapped carelessly,"
said Miss iiolmiiii. "As much care
should he taken In the wrapping as In
the selection of the gift.
'The wrappings should be dainty
and Inconspicuous, and in harmony
with the gift and the sentiment that
the giver wishes to accompany the
gill. White tissue paper tied with
white ribbon with n bit of foliage for
color, makes n prettier ami neater
wrapping than colored paper nnd col- !
oreii ribbon. If the gift is to be j
sent through the mall, the outside I
'wrapping must necessarily be of !
utroiig paper, but If tied nently and I
securely with tinsel Christmas cord. ,
the package will make un attractive 1
I "iirance, and at the same time will j
I .o: rt the gift.
I'c'Hoiial touches, fuch as original
et 'ies on the gift card or a spray of
fc!li from the region of the giver's
horn.- convey a deep sentiment and
thoiirflitfulnpitt on the part of the
giver, according to Miss Ilolinan.
While holly and mistletoe are the em-
I'letniitlc Christmas foliage, a spray of
hemlock, bittersweet, Vepper bough,
i'i any pretty native foliage may be
used.
Corporal James Mollahan, who is
well known tn many Morrow coun
ty people writes the following inter
esting letter to his friend James
Carty, who has handed the same to
the Herald for publication. The let
ter was written a sho.-t time before
the armistice:
Mr. Jaines Carty,
Dear friend:
It may surprise you to get a letter
from me at this stage of the game.
I have often thought of writing
you a note but the obstacles that
have to be met and the inconven
ience of getting the O. K. of the bat
tery of Company officers are really
the caus of many unwritten letters,
not to mention the inpractability of
corresponding when on the line.
We have taken part in all the off
ensives, and have seen almost as
much actual service as any Ameri
cans over here. We are in what is
said to be the most difficult sector
of the entire front. It Is hard to
imagine what this country looks like,
where battles, probably the hardest
of the war have been fought. You
couid search all day for one foot of
ground that has not been turned over
and over by high explosive shells.
In fact it looks like part of the sand
where there is nothing but banks
and holes.
It seems the Germans are headed
for home at last and they sure are
being supplied all the "persuasion"
at the command of the allies to con
tinue on to Berlin. I see, and have
seen great numbers of German pris
oners, without exceptions they are
bad lookers and seem to be poor ma
terial on which to stake the destinies
of an empire. It can be seen now
that great military ambitions- and
ideas of conquest do not alone win
decisions on the battlefield. It
takes men and material. Now that
that Germany is lacking in these,
the most, avaricious military po-.ver
the world has ever "known is totter
ing to its ruin.
If you could see what I have seen
you would wonder why, if there is
a God, that He didn't strike 'them
down long ago. If I ever get back
I will tell you of German atrocities
that will surprise you, but no more
than they did me. I heard a great
deal but did not believe until I had
saw with jny own eyes.
As to what is doing you know
more than I do. What I do know I
cannot tell because of the censorship.
I had some pretty close calls and
have been in places where life seem
ed uncertain, but I have been fortun
ate enough to come through in the
best of shape.
This organization has very slight
loses so far.
I hr.ve not seen any Morrow coun
ty men over here, I guess they are
all with drafted units.
Now James I hear the cook yell
ing, "come and get it" which means
dinner is on.
llemember me to old friends.
Best wishes and regards to your
self and family.
CORPORAL JAMES MOI.AHAN
O lookit, Tommy, Santa come for you and me.
But I never heard a single sound when he
left that Cliristmas tree.

How About that Contemplated
BUILDING?
The Government has reduced
the ban on building. Or rath
er raised the price. Instead
of a $1,000 limit on new
buildings, you can go ahead
now if it don't cost in excess
of $10,000.
