Lies, lies, lies. He is a' past-master at distorting the truth. The primary technique in the Nazi propaganda is known as “monumental lie direct.” To this tactic he fully admits in his book, “Mein Kampf,” which he wrote while in prison in 1925, by shrewdly explaining that the mas ses are loathe to believe a small >rdinary lie, the kind they them lelves tell every day, because they ■ecognize it.

(From Whitehead comes a charming little thing- that reflects so much of the Christmas spirit we know many of our readers will enjoy it. We suspect somebody will be surprised to see it in print on January 2.—Ed.) A Surprise For Mother Some mothers do the queerest things. And I think you’ll agree, When you have heard my story. 'Twas this way, don’t you see. It was only a week till Christmas, With mother as busy as a bee, Planning and fixing surprises For my two sisters and me. So we three planned together, That each one make it a rule, To save what we spent for candy, Each day on our way to school. We bought a box of handkerchiefs, All tied so neatly in place, With roses in the corners, And hemmed around with lace. We wrapped them in holly paper, And carefully hid them away, While we laughed and whispered together, And wondered what she would say. So then on Christmas morning She called us to come and see, What jolly St. Nick had brought And left beneath the tree.. 1 skipped upstairs in the hallway, And behind the mirror there 1 grasped our precious package, And hastened down the stair. “Here is our gift to mother!" And I put it in her hand;— But why the tears came in her eyes I could not understand. She turned away to hide them, But I knew well they were there, For when she held us close to her They fell upon my hair. Now don’t you think it rather queer, And won’t you tell me why, When we were so happy together,— What made my mother cry? —Mrs. Ethelyn E. Richardson.

Furthermore, Metaxas did it so quietly that even Mussolini on the other side of the Adriatic Sea didn’t know fully what he was walking into until the Italian expeditionary forces came face to face with the , ballet-skirted rfluiiinmHunnmiumiuMtmuniumnunuHnmitnnBi Travel n0 Touring the Good Old U. S. A. From Minneapolis To Chicago By Sally Bledsoe After a three-hour delay in Minneapolis, which was spent pleasantly in sight seeing and window shopping, I welcomed the inside warmth of the bus that was to take me through the Twin City of St. Paul. With only such a fleeting glance at each of the two cities, I could not say which was more impressive. The entire states of Minnesota and Wiscon sin, with their beautiful roll ing landscapes, dense wood lands >and pine-clad state parks, with thousands of charming tree fringed lakes and crystal streams, are in very truth ideal vacation lands. After fifteen hours of what seemed slow travel through town after town and village after vil lage, 1 was thrilled to discover that we were approaching the marvelous “City of Progress”— Chicago. What a city! So much has been written about this great metropolis, which lists so many of firsts, largests, and tallest things which give the city its fame. And certainly Chicago leads in many things. A few of these distinc tions I’m able to remember—the Evzone units on the Greek fron tier. Then they discovered those ballet-skirts were just part of the camouflage behind which “Uncle Johnny” has been carrying on his military preparations. The men inside the skirts were tough and knew how to fight. Working against time, the sev enty-year-old Premier could not train, much less equip as big an army as he wanted, but in a few days after the Italian thrust he had ten classes of reserves mobilized and ‘‘Jibout three hund red thousand well-equipped men under arms. Simultaneously Me taxas turned his attention to for tifying the frontiers and to the air force. On the Bulgarian frontier, most of which zig-zags through the lofty mountains, Me taxas built his “Mannerheim line.” Even the Germans admit that Metaxas is one of the greatest military strategists of modern times. “Uncle Johnny” has also accomplished much for Greece in the way of modern social re forms. ROBERT JOINES BARBER SHOP —*• Sparta — stock-yards and packing houses| are unexcelled anywhere in the world. The mental picture thatl I have of Chicago gives me thej impression that it is to the United States, what the heart is to the body. It is the vital center. The thousands of railroad tracks, the hundreds of buses, air lines, truck lines, ship lines, shipping houses and transportation of all1, kinds, serve as arteries which carry essential commodities to; and from this great industrial center. I cannot soon forget the thrill when I found myself down in the famous Loop District of Chicago, and again when I had a look at their beautiful planetar ium. Chicago is a wonder city. Danger In a part of North Wales there is a very dangerous hill. A week man was told to put a “danger ous hill” board at the top. The foreman two or three days later found it placed at the bottom. He said to the workman: “You idiot. I told you to put it at the top.” “Whatever, indeed,” said the man. “All the accidents happen at the bottom.” Happy New Year says “Uncle Andy” Behind the tall Hemlock.-' by the Post Office t Ernest Hoppers Electrical Work — SPARTA — Happy \ New Year Bells Ringing / Good Wishes from Belk’s Dept Store -SPARTA - DETECTOR RILEY Bv Richard Lee % [WAITS AT AN AIRPORT | CAFE IN COMPLIANCE | WITH A STRANGE NOTE HE RECEIVES aboard the plane...
