I $2,00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE ( I plant At Nickel M nss | To Begin Operation II n January Nothing spectacular, just gradual working toward the goal", is the way Mr- J- H- Gillis described the developments that are now under way at the nickel mines at Webster. A small plant is in process of instruction at the mine, and wjil be opened about the midHe of January. Here the salts vill be extracted from the ore. t is admitted that the plant s more or less for experimental mrposes; but if it proves the rocess to be as valuable as it i ; expected to be, it will be the jrerunner of a larger plant for ie same purpose; and also of still larger one for the reduc- I on of the nickel ore. Sulphate of magnesium, or as f commonly know it, Epsom Its. is a valuable product that juratory tests have proved can extracted from the ores at I. ?bster. That is what the small I m is to do. If as successful the actual large-scale proction as it has been in the oratory, the orocess may delop into something of greater ue to the county than the g-hoped for nickel prcduc- I I." But Mr. Gillis warned, "we going forward slowly with development. We do not t to leave the impression a great expansion is to be cted. However, we are going d. and expect to have our small plant running by the le of next month," he said.

Miss Pauline Smith, district home agent of the State College Extension Service, is an authority on decorations and she gives' t h e following directions for making a wreath: Assemble the evergreens you want to use. From the florist you can buy foundation frames of heavy single wire and two spools of wreath wire; one of the fine thread weight , and other 22 guage. Some persons may be able to make their own frames, especially after buying one or two as samples.

Fasten the heavy wire to the frame and, holding the spool firmly in your fight hand, take several pieces of evergreen with your left hand> binding them tightly to the frame. Continue this operation overlapping material closely, until you have completed the circle. View your completed breath from a distance , and shear any protruding material that spoils the outline.

Time and again that ideal has almost been blotted out beneath the tramp of marehinj armies. Rav| aged cities, ruined countryside, ftojpel ??- millions of old men, blank-faced women, and little cnildren have testified that ambitious! men have sought to find 1 greatness by hurting and destroying. Men have forgotten jthe lesson of the Manger in a stable, the Cross on a hill, the empty tomb in a garden. These symbols of Christianity testify to the truth that it is the homely things of life that bring us peace, and that humility is greatness. The King of Heaven appearing as a little child with a manger for a cradle, points men toward the greatness of the humble. This Christmas, when the light of Christianity has been beclouded in many lands by the blight of a new-found paganism, when the suffering millions ' of the old world are the victims of man's hatred and ' inhumanity, it would seem that it is not fitting that we celebrate the birthday of the Prince of Peace. Yet, peace is to be found only in the hearts of men. A human being, ground beneath the heel of oppression, suffering from the inhumanities that have been heaped upon him, may yet feel a peace that V no conquerer can ever know. The hope of the world yet lies in the ideal of the Manger, and the proclamation made by the band of angels. For peace is a thing of the Spirit. Not all the armaments that have ever been or ever can be manufactured can kill a spiritual ideal. While little children, who have learned-to lisp the name of the Christchild, flee to dirty holes in the ground to save their lives from the flaming death that rains down from the skies, this Christmas night; we yet believe that peace and good-will will yet be realized among men. But we know that if we are to find neace, we must seek it humbly, by becoming as 1' ?- ?-1 4-U/> nfoKlo in JL f little children and going in tne spirit tu tuc *** Bethlehem, to worship a Little Child. jffWgM ^y i jmbg?

Hocutt, pastor rl f the Sylva Baptist church, and >r: Grover Wilkes at its meeting ! I biesday night. J The Rev. Mr. Hocutt's topic ras "Some x By-Products of our I churches." He pointed out that he entire history of our counry is tied indirectly with the hurch and that it was the inluence of the church that has node tt great. 4e Among the "by products" of he church Mr. Hocutt listed ;overnment, schools, hospitals, rphanages, service clubs and aid that all organizations that xe working for the common |! ;ood are founded upon the prin- ] iples as set forth by Jesus Jhrist.

While Dr. Wilkes' trails and , ribulations while following the U attle raising hobby were pro- ' ably not so humorous at the Lme they happened, the way a which he described them ta he Rotarians brdught many learty laughs.
