CHRISTMAS TIDE
CELEBMITED By
Christmas was well celebrated in
Seward this year, Santa Claus being
on hand with a huge stock, every per
son in town receiving^ gilt of some
kind. On Sunday evening the choir
of the Methodist church, composed of
girls assisted by the entire Sunday
school, rendered a Christmas cantata
to a well-filled church. The music
was under the directorship of Mrs. R.
V. B. Dunlap and was most excellently
| rendered. After the program the
j children repaired to the basement of
. the church where a Christmas tree,
' loaded with sacks of nuts, fruit and
candy greeted them, each youngster
receiving a bountiful supply.
Monday evening occurred another
■nportant event of the Yule Tide,—
the community Christmas tree, under
the auspices of the local Igloo of Pio
neers. A. B. Hall was well filled long
before the hour for the program, with
eager, expectant children, for Santa
Claus had radioed Cal M. Brosius that
he would be along about nine o’clock
on his way to the States, well laden
with gifts. Santa was an hour late,
owing to a long visit with the McMil
lan party, on the steamship Bowdoin,
about 400 miles from the Pole. An
orchestra compossed of the Misses
Marit Eide, Clara Manthey, Thelma
Ellsworth, and Mrs. George Schmidt
rendered several selections which
were well received. A splendid pro
gram by various members of the local
schools filled the remaining interval
until sleigh bells were heard, and in
came Santa with an enormous pack.
Every boy and girl in town up to the
age of 17 received an appropriate and
expensive gift before St. Nick flew
away for the Southland.
1 he days festivities were terminat-j
ed with a dance last night in Odd
Fellows hall a large crowd tripping
the light fantastic until the wee hours
of this morning.
Weather conditions were all that
could be desired, and every citizen
enjoyed the day to the fullest extent.
CHRISTIANITY IS BETTER
THAN GELOGY, SAYS BRYAN
NEW \ ORK, Dec. 26.—William Jen
nings Bryan, three times presidential!
candidate, told the Baptists in a let-!
ter received here yesterday that he;
greatly preferred Christianity to ge-i
ologv.
“If we have come to the stage ail
which we must decide between Chris-1
tianity and geology, I think it is bet
ter to know' the ‘rock of ages’ than
the ‘age of rocks.’ ” he said.
“\\ hen I first opposed evolution,”
he continued, ‘‘I was told by a minis
ter that thinking people would never
agree with me. I said to him only 2
per cent of our population were col
lege gi aduates leaving 98 per cent
who still had souls.

GOVERNMENT PENSION TOTAL
REACHES LARGE FIGURE
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 26 —
With 7260 fewer pensioners on the
government rolls than in 1922, expen
ditures increased last year $89,4u5,
000, the pension bureau announced to

264,580 Civil War widows. 63,393 Span
ish War veterans and 13,167 Spanish
\\ ar widows. There are yet on the
pension roll forty-nine soldiers of the

During the year 25,542 civil War
veterans died as against 25.0S2 in the
previous year and 23,947 widows as
against 21,259.
FAITH NOT ENDANGERED BY
RELIGIOUS CONTROVERSIES
TACOMA, Dec. 26.—Our Christmas
laith is not endangered by the pres
ent illogical controversies, and the
virgin birth of Christ is the symbol
of a great spiritual truth and not ne
cessarily to be taken as a literal phy
sical tact/’ Bishop Keaton declared
today, commenting on the battle be
ing waged over this question by the
various Eastern Episcopal churches.
HAVE IT CUT
No matter if that tumor is no larger
than a nut; now’s the time for exter

i-UTFISK
“Lutflsk,” one of the national, regu
lar dishes of the Scandinavians* when
Yue-tide comes around. The Vikings
had it at their mid-winter festivities;
the kings and peasants alike of our
present day Scandinavia enjoy it.
Indeed, Alaskans should know this
wholesome and palatable prepara
tion. Drop the fish in boiling water,
leave for ten minutes, two to three
minutes longer for the thicker pieces.
Eat with plenty butter and spice it on
your plate to suit.
