MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT CHRISTMAS Christmas is a universal holiday throughout Christendom.. ant! the man ner o t it s observance" his been great - " }y influenced -bv . the traditlojis-.- 'and customs of many lands. Tho dav has not always beoh thought, of as rhe "of 3 oy and gladness; in fact, fov the first four 'hundred, years ?_ of the Christian era It was observed aa a dav c( fostt'ite ?nd">loom The American Christmas' is very cosmopolitan as it .has absorbed ma^y things from Slav. Tutbn and Latin countries. Deaf old Santa Claus is the patron ralnt of Russia, ahct is. * properly ):nvvn as St. Nicholas: but in Ofrmany he is known, as" Kris Krin*Ie; 'in France tif P?re Noel: in Italy as Mr f iier arid ih .Spain and Portfisnl .n ;?c TJiree Kinea? but whaleVei inSv be called ho does not fall *o visit the children and bring them gifts and toysT The custom of usln~ hMly end c5th*r greens in' decorating for Christmas is of considerable antiquity, and In all probability is a survival of the usage rf the -Roman Satoranal*. which fes tival* began December itth. The rare privilege <?> grahtlnsr powers of a *prig .of mistletoe has come to us from the pagan religious ceremonies of ancient Kurope The custom of bflnsrin* in the Yule lpg come* from th?? ancient Nftrsmen. and was always an occasion cf great,, ceremonv and much re:'oiein?. b'tt Originally had no conriectlon with Christmas The practice o f givinr gifts at fh? Chrl/tm&s season (ft not found outside ? ' the Tutonic countries. And is of a dis tinctly Christian oriytti Aft for the use of fireworks at Christmas ?haf 1? distinctly Ameri can. and- \ *rv < h i fn ?fe rt*tlc -Tfre ver - rnt and nolsr. We often find Christmas wrltteTf in the abbreviated form of Xmas which fact has caused a great deai of con *r oversy a* to the jTropriety of such an abbreviation. The WW0 "Chrift mas? literally mearts Christ-mass. As . fi the meanirig of the word "mass** -rhen it; was first compounded with the nrord "Christ" Is uncertain. but It l^u ? Um ? nartictola - form of .the latih verb "mltto" meaning to send Thetf * fore the wort' Christinas really means The Sent Christ." The abbreviated ' rm of Xmas probably dates back ancient causes. The letter X used In the abbreviation is not the letter X of our alphabet, but the Greek letter or" "Chi" which has the phonetic value of "ch" and is the first letter of the Greek name of Christ ? Christ CIS. meaning The Annotated One. The first cause perhaps is to be found in :hs ancient Jewish idea of avoiding the utterance of the word Jehovah ) lest the name of God might be taken in Vain. Then too. there was the per iod of Christian persecution by the Romans, which was so severe that "simply to be known as a Christian meant death, so that it became ne cessary for !h? Christians to hide - ih-lr identity, and they had to resort tb secret signs and symbols. Thus the fish was commonly used as e sign and -vinbo! because- the letter which com p.bwd' the Greek word; lohthgs,. stood , .'for Isasous Christos Theou Hutu. ^otyVrmeariiag ? Jesus ehrist -(Sod's i soii our Saviour. Sometimes they ;u>t drsV the picture of ?> ftsh and its. syinboiiejn was. . understood by theft :eI!'5'5':Chtristians.

Mr. Tom Newton recently had 12 terrace lines run /6n his farm near Moriah. These are the first terraces for this community and we hope that we can hold a field meeting there next spring to see a system of well built Mangum terraces finished *.en feet wide with three rows of crops growing on the terrace. Terrace? properly built, with rows properly rur. will control 'moisture conditions better by making each part of the land carf for its own drainage.
