Newspapers arriving in The Scout s
office this week are virtually all car- 1
rying news of the "Good Fellow" |
clubs in their respective towns, which i
as we all, no doubt know, is a community
effort to see that all enjoy 1
"A Merry Christmas." This activity
extends to practically every city, 1
town and village in the United States, t
It is but a part of America's great :
charity and it is most commendable, i
Here in Murphy the Good Fellows *
are again at work as they have been *
for many seasons. It is a foregone '
tk,? !
suit in * wider spreading of Christ- '
nas cheer?taking into needy homes '
remembrances of the day or neces- i1
sities which will bring happiness to 1
children's hearts?and grown-ups 5
too.
This newspaper is heart and soul
behind all such movements It freely '
and gladly opens its columns to the ] J
farthering of all such activities. And j c
this newspaper holds out its hand to 11
all organisations which will give and ^
work freely to the need?the peace? [11
the happiness and the joy of our citi-' ^
sens and their children who may at
this time be unfortunate. *
Humanity has always been kind? cj
despite all cynical phrases to the con- c*
trary. Through all of the ages there U
2ms been" that little spark of fellow
?ers. and a new coat. Also don't for-1

) FELLOWSHIP IN"

ihip which has never failed in the
time of need.
Christmas giving has always been
most generous in one form or another
?not to those near and dear only?
but the fortunate to the unfortunate.
Don't let us in Murphy pass all of
the work of Christmas charities over
:o the "Good Fellows." A mer? subicription
to any organization does
lot by any means relieve us of our
ibligations to our fellowmen. Then
,00, the real joy of giving is in the
personally searching out that one who
should be made happy?and, in bring
"* " w K"00'
Such good work is not or cannot
>e resticted. Our school children,
heir parents, their grandparents?all
ihould join in?and no matter how
worly situated any individual may
>e?most always they can find one
who is more lonely more needy or
reaming for that little personal touch
>f fellowship which means happiness.
So let us all search out the needy,
he lonely, the unhappy, and make
t our. duty to see that when Christmas
morning dawns?each has some 1
oken of the day?a message of cheer
nd good wishers?a feeling that i
somebody knows", "somebody 1
ares"?and that as citizens of this i
immunity we all want to be happy .

While this richest country, which

The best is the raised or sunken

William ?. Roberts, of Butte,
Montana, bought a turkey and five
small gold nuggets were found in
its craw. The turkey came from a
packing house. Nobody knows
where it used to eat. There is a
tragedy?a gold mine somewhere,
Impossible to locate it.
But a worse tragedy i? represented
by the man of genius. Hie
brain contains inteilec.ual gold
nuggets of gigantic size.
But, like the turkey with the
lumps of gold in its inside, the
genius cannot tell where he got it.
Cannot point to the celestial mine
whence genius comes.
Four railroads have increased
wages of shopmen, showing intelligence
in allowing crumbs from the
prosperity table to fall within the
reach of the workers. There is
prosperity enough for all, and it
will last longer If everybody has a
little of it.
Prosperity's stepchildren are the
cotton growers and the textile
manufacturers. Women that used

now wear about as much as
is used to wrap up a baby.
Northern textile workers worry
about the removal of their industry
to the South ,and they may.
Coal and iorn, side by side, took
the iron mills to Pittsburgh. Cotton,
cheap power and labor, side by

to the South.

>KE. BUT TRUE
. | Not everyone who says he desires
power and success really desires those
- things.
They are synonymous with work, (
t worry and responsibility.
What those who say they want j
! them to desire is the by-products of J
? ;ower and success, the toothpicks and ;
. not the meal.
i; They want the yachts, the trips to
? Palm Pouch and the Packard limoui'
sines.
To really eat you must pay; to
* chew u toothpick costs nothing,
t j To really achieve costs work and
- self-denial; to seem to achieve (for
j a time!) requires only a weak con
e science.
f Every "show-off" desires the results
of achievement, but is unwilling
to pay the price. He would rather
5 chew the toothpick of fraud than eat
s the substance of paid-inadvance actj
uality.
j To seem to be, to all but the
v! shrewdest eye, has all the attractions
t and none of the hardships of actual ;
j being.
In Sunday School we used to sing: 1

The next the Victor's song!"
