A Glad Xmas
In our childhood — we steal
out of bed to peep into our stock
ings— professing surprise at
the contents, then a long happy
day and at lsst we retire hugginp
our new toys.
On through our lighthearted
youth, with Christmases of ga
iety and gifts, fun and frolic .vet
underlying all, dreams and high
ideals.
To-day, in sadness though ii
pride, we see our sons and bro
thers on gory battlefields gtl
ing oniy such little bits o
Christmas as we cansend them:
these thoughts for a momem
burn Ohristinis joys to ashes ii
our mouths; but we can take
real coin ort in service fo
those who are giving all for us.
For it is more blessed to giva
than to receive.
AN OLD KAROL
God rest you, merry gentlemen.
Let nothing you dismay,

KNIT SOCKS.
(Louisville Courier-Journal)
It is said that a hand-knitted
sock lasts a soldier on the march
eight days, while a factory Sock
wears out in eight hours. In
justice to the warriors the
women will knit socks for
them. The factory kind will
still be worn by men^hokdo not
a lswer the calLto tfie colors. In
-,---—
the tramp, tramp, tramp ef the
boys in handknitted socks, and
and the tramp, tramp, tramp of
the stay-at-homes in factory sock
will be illustrated the Emerson
ian theory of compensation.
War is all that Gen. Sherman
termed it, but so are bottomless
socks.
SAVE YOUR CANSa
Save your old cans! Also the
humble milkcan from the gar
bage pile. The manufacturers
will take them off your hands
before the war is over. Do you
know that before the war many
German agents in the States
made much good money out of
our canned food? You ate what
was in the can. They collected
the metal and off to Kaiserland
it went, to return in the cheap
tinware which grace s kitchen
walls. Ti c German toy S9’d er
which invades us a nundred
thousand strong, was very prob
ably your carnation car ,n a form
er exist hic ;.
