The Herald extends to sub
scribers and readers its best
wishes for a Merry Christmas.
-o
Christmas is at hand again,
\vi*h its joys of giving and re
ceiving and its heart-warming
memories of Christmas days of
other years. Few must they be
who cannot find in it some
gladness and cheer; if not in
the present at least in remem
brances of bygone Christmas
days.
No o'her time in all the year
when the spirit of kindness so
fills the hearts of humanity
and no time when mankind
comes closer to a realization of
the great human brotherhood
that w'll one day unite the
sons and daughters of men in
a wondrous bond of love and
kindness. For on this day our
thoughts go out to others and
the impulse to give happiness
is uppermost in mind.
Age", hence, when mankind
has freed itself from the self
ishness and greed that has
been and is today responsible
for nine-tenths of all human
woes: when spiritual under
standing has supplanted the
sordid materialism of the day;
when mankind ha3 come to
know that the greatest happi
ness is to be found in unselfish
service to others; when “mine”
and “ihine” ar no longer the
watchwords of society; when
mankind understands that all
human advancement leads in
ev'tably to recognition of the
common fatherhood of all and
the brotherhood of man and
that in the teaching of the
Great Master: “Love ye one
another” lies the way to at
tain all the good and all the
happiness that life can give
then Christmas will indeed be
come a wondrous time, filled
with a gladness that is known
to few who now walk the mun
dane sphere. _____
But even now, with hearts at
tuned to the glad call of Christ
mas, we can find much joy in
'the day by forgetting self and
giving kindness and cheer to
those about us.

A certain newspaper editor
threatened with a libel suit
some time ago and made a
thorough investigation of the
libel law, coming to the con
clusion finally that he could
be sued for libel for almost
any item of news. The weather
was about the only safe topic,
! the editor decided. He began
looking for a way out. Grad
ually, he wrote up his items in
a manner to comply with the
letter of the law. One morning
subscribers were greeted with
'this account in their favorite
journal, of a swell reception
given by one of the grand lad
ies of their home town: “A
woman giving the name Mrs.
J. C. Jones, who is reported
to be one of the society leaders
of this section, is said to have
give what purported to be a
reception yesterday afternoon.
“It is understood that a con
siderable number of so-called
guests, reported to be ladies
noted in society circles, were
present, and some of them are
quoted as saying they enjoyed
the occasion. “It is charged
that the firm of Bower and
Black furnished the refresh
ments and Stringham the al
leged music. “The hostess is
Isaid to have worn a necklace
of alleged pearls which she
declares was given her by her
husband.”
The refinement of cruelty is
expressed in the present day
madness for popularity con
tests and so-called “beauty
contests.” What can wither a
girl more surely than a beauty
contest? We do not profess to
know. We merely look on as
schools and colleges engage in
a form of cruelty"too highly reT
fined for animals to be able to
make a jump at. A beauty con
test or a popularity contest?
With the winner a bit more
bold perhaps, and not so very
much more popular, after all,
than some old-fashioned girl
who has a picture of mother
hood in her eyes. For one glad
girl, why make a dozen sad?
Youth deserves better of us
than that.

One thing Dad is almost cer
tain to get for Christmas is an
overdraft.

Publication of the income tax
returns has established one
encouraging fact, anyhow. The
man with the biggest income
is not in the bootlegging bus

Famous last words: “I’ve
poured the kerosene on: now
gimme a match.”
The prize optimist has been
found right here in Hyder. He
has one of those wind shield
! stickers and hopes soon to have
ja car to stick on it.
“Rosie” claims his brother in
: the old country has some black
and white cows called “Gold
steins.”
Europeans are always knock
ing America, says a famous
writer. Yes, but it is also an in
teresting fact that they are
knocking their hardest at our
gates.

“Friends*” says the Blueber
ry Kid,“ are people who can
not conceal their astonishment
when we make good.”
At 3 A. M.-“Daddy, I want a
drink.”

Say, folks, isn’t it strange that
people who often grow senti
mental about the old swimming
hole, that was three miles from
town, often complain bitterly
! because the bath room is at the
|far end of the hall?
! Young Thing: “Mother, what
did you do when a boy first
kissed you?”
“ Never mind.”

According to Lee Balch, if a
fellow don’t know when he’s
whipped some kind friend is
sure to come along and tell
him.
They went and put a wom
an’s head on the silver dollar
and now she wants to get her
hands on it. Aren’t they greedy
though?
Miss Flora Makepeace and a
Mr. Joe Battle were quietly
married in Emporia, Kansas,
the other day. They may live
happily, even so.
When a woman starts keep
ing accounts it’s a ten-to-one
shot that she suspects that
her husband is spending more
for clothes than she is.
Keeping everlastingly at it
will enable you to find the
drug section in a drug store.
Apropos of Christmas we are
reminded that many a fine girl
is going to make the mistake
of judging a man by the kind
of Christmas gift he sends. Too
frequently it happens that a
10-cent man sends a 6-do liar
gift.
He who fights and runs away
lives to write memories of the
fvay.
Some things we heartily dis
like:
The fellow who gets up at 5 a
m., jumps into a tub of ice wat
er, steams and blows for half
an hour and then jumps back
iinto bed and says: “Boy, ain’t
;it great?”
| The fellow who is always tell
|ing about the good stuff he
| got before prohibition.
! The guy who meets us on the
street and and hollers: “What
jdo you know, old man?”
' The bird who thinks that ed
iting a college magazine is
i“good experience.”
j The girl who says she had her
hair bobbed because it was
falling out.
The fellow who does not
agree with us.
‘Where is the paint remover,
Mother?”
“What do you want it for?”
“Sister wants something to
wash her face with.”
A man was standing under a
bridge.
i When it crashed down on his
head;
“Death caused by falling
! arches,”
| The coroner’s jury said.
