This is an opportunity to show the 1917 Christmas spirit, as well as to get into the Whr wfltk that summons all patriotic Americans. President Wilson, in his apt phrase, has proclaimed that Red Cross membership is the ‘‘Christmas spirit in terms of ac tion.” Let the men and women of America make that sentiment ring like [a cathedral chime throughout the land on Christ mas morn.___________ HELP DESTITUTE CHILDREN An effort is being made this Christmas to get the money or dinarily spent in an exchange of gifts between friends diverted to the work of caring for the children left destitute by the war. This is a most worthy pur pose and should receive hearty support. Each of us has a few intimate friends with whom we customarily exchange Christmas gifts, most of them needless and given because we fear to discon tinue ihem lest we offend these friends If each would write to at least one friend, stating that he was sending the money cost of his or her gift to the children of America's Army of Relief to keep the breath of life in some little body, and ask this friend to do the same, it would turn millions uf dollars spent for wasteful gifts into life-giving funds- into gifts of life itself If we do not, our Christmas gifts will be Gifts of Death to many starving children. WE WONDER WHY. What is ths reason Nyssa house wives are compelled to pay 16c a loaf for bread, or two loaves for 85c. Ac cording tn statement issued recently by Adjutaat General Moody at Bciae he purchased bread of Boise bakrr* at 6$c for an 18 ounce loaf. At thi« lime wheat was higher than it is now. Aa much of the bread sold in Nysaa comes from thee* same Boise bakers it is difficult for the Nyesa consumer to un derstand why he should pay at least double what the bread coat the army. It seems to be a case of making flsh of on* an fowl of the other. If the »lien enemy restrictions seem harsh, he knows how to make them rest lightly. All he has feo do is to respect the laws and attend strictly to his own business.
