MOST RADIANT OF ALL DAYS
I'niiKM't.u being Christinas, there
will he no issue of I lie Daily Times,
and we take this opportunity ot e\
tending the season's greeting to all
oi our readers and wishing them a
\ery merry and joyous Christmas.
Of all the radiant days of the year
there is none whose light has ever
shone so far as the light of Christ
niac For nearly two thousand years
it has shone with a light that could
never la quenched, and it shines to
day, serene and fair and steadfast,
even though it may he dimmed by the
darkening < loads of man-made human
conflict, says an exchange.
For a thousand years before the
Christian era the Hebrews were look
ing forward to the light of Christmas.
I hey i\v the golden age before them
v. he; he Christ should come, and
theo ja ctation of a Messiah lighted
up . manger at Bethlehem. And
then came; and since then the
wh-d If! has been looking both
l:.u I. ai d and forward to the light
of Christmas.
Other days we have that are dear
t< th♦ ■ human heart, hut Christmas is
a little dearer thin all other days to
the heart of gtowri-up men and
\ .,:i en. and infinitely dearer to the
In arts the children. The light of
Christmas shines for them all the
year r>:nd. They hark hack to the
joy*-- < Lie Christmas that is past,
and the in always looking forward
t the 1 ;ht of the Christmas that is
to come.
chiLi ..is s the day of days to all
hue uni'y b t it belongs essentially
to tht child! *n. You remember that

BONDS A GOOD INVESTMENT
Hold your Libertx bonds and war
-axings certificates. 11 old them first
because t he v are the best in vest int'lit
in tin* world, backed by every re
source in tin* Fnited States, is the
appeal of the secretary of the treas
ury. as sent to Twelfth Federal IF
serve district Liberty loan headquar
ters Following is the secretary's
statement.
“Hold your Libertx bonds and war
savings certificates. Hold them first
because they are the best investment
in the world, backed by every resource
in the Fnited States.
“Hold them because you have made
sacrifices in order to buy them Why
pass on to someone else tin* contract
you have entered into with your gov
ernment ?
“Hold them because, even though
th" xvar may be over, it has not yet
been paid for. The treasury depart
ment must soon issue more bonds.
I’,very sal** now made by you makes
future government issues more diffi
cult and more expensive. This ex
panse can be borne only by the people
of the Fnited States; therefore, why
add to the already large burden?
“Hold tlwm because tin* time may
come when such an investment will
prove to be a true friend in time of
v.ced. a guaranty against tlu* fear of
debt and insurun e against real hard
ships
"Hold them because tin- need for
saving is not over. Government ex
penses are today larger than at any
lime during tin* xvar. Our boys in
F anee and Germany must la* paid
and led and clothed, and. xvhen their
x* ork is over, transported home. They
have not quit. Why should you?
“Hold your Liberty bonds Instead
of exchanging them for some other un
called ‘security.’ because you knoxv
the security of your Fnited State
bond and can not often know th<
worth of what is offered in exchange
The '.get rich-quick* crook is ready to
steal your bonds from you at tin* first
opport unity
“Hold them because of tlu* interest
ibex pay. Hold them bo a use it is
good business to do so What good
I s* ill the idle pleasure of needless lux
hiv boiitiht tmlay with the proceeds
,h \our bunds In* to yon a year iront
hum ; iur boh11 works for you, draw
in;: intoiest day and nipht. weekdays
anil Sundays.
"Hold your bonds. Don't be a quit-;
ter. Be a patriot.”
