All these [proclaim that the spirit of Christmas j is again abroad in cur land. It is In our houses that we look for the sym bols of Christmas, reminders of the glory that once enwrapped the Child cradled in the rude straw, that trans formed the lowly stable behind the inn into the holiest of all human sanctu aries— the Home. The lights of Noel—one by one they come out telling of happy homes and hearth fires burning bright, giv ing glad evidence of the Chritmas spirit alive today in the hearts of men. It is good to spe them there, good to remember that for awhile the harsh cares of every-day are forgotten; the clamor of buying and selling are stilled, while Christmas candles shed a happy highway across the world.

Chriitmas Tree Worth More Than Small Coat & V.K we j,milled in *nirifieing r^oiiit* live million tm» for the annual Christinas festival? There lius been much discussion in the past few years over tills question of Christmas trees, in view of, the rapid depletion of our forests and the Inerease in the waste land urea. There are those who stoutly contend that it Is a foolish custom of pagan origin, not worthy of periiet untion in this enlightened Christian use, and that it is a senseless destruction of millions of young, thrifty trees that are so much needed to supply the tim ber requirements of the eouutry. iiut strangely enough, the foresters as a class, those who are most Inter ested in conserving tree growth, do not share this concern about the Christmas tree. They are interested in growing trees and having tlietn used for their highest good. If u ten-year old tree, of which 12.000 or more can tie grown upon a single acre, can give so much joy, what better u»e can be made of tire trees? The custom is so well established that it will never lie wholly discarded, and why should it he? Is It not the Christinas tree that gives the setting for the celebration? What Is more de lightful to children than the Christ mas trie with its candies or electric lights, silver trimmings, tinsel and the other thin: s tluft go with it? Take away the Christ inns tree and you have removed the chief charm. It is the something that Is eloquent of senti ment and Hint has a much higher value ‘ban the cost of tin* tree, it Is not to he measured by economic con siderations or commercial computa tions -Crunk Herbert Sweet. <Q. 19-4'.

I've always intended to have that frightful hair removed from my upper lip. It Is hideous. Isn't It, mother? llut oh, how could he be so unkind?" “Why, daughter, what are you talk ing about? I don’t understand. It seems to me if I were given an Invi tation to the opera-us Christ mas greet ing I should be only too delighted. And what has hair on your upper lip to do with opera, anyway?" "Oh, because, because,” she sobbed; "the opera—It’s—It's the ‘Barber of Seville.' ”—Marion It. lteagan. <<D. 1924, \V«»«tern Newspaper Union.) *----» REFLECTORS * Tif *’ " *'■ <*°wlrt reflect tlie spirit » 3l Christmas chew half as brilliantly ns n piece of 2 tin will reflect the rays from u J* lamp, we should help to light i;* the world to an amazing degree.
