pods and pine cones can be Uaated
in a like manner, after they’ve been
painted with quick-drying enamel,
or with aluminum paint.
Much pleasure wUl be derived by
a child if he or she is aBcwed"to
make strings of cranberries, pop
corn or small pieces of stale bread
to hang on a special Christmas tree
for the birds. Later children can
string them about a shrub or tree
in the front yard, and watch the
birds enjoy Christmas, too.

OUR 2IST ANNIVERSARY

J. V. BDWARDS, PAivrIetor
About 75 years ago the people of
a community in Indiana appli^ for
a post office, asking Santa Fe as a
name. There already was a post of
fice by that name in Indiana, and
since it was a short time l^fore
Christmas, the people decided to
name the town Santaclause, in one
word.
In 1938 the name was changed to
two words, Santa Claus. Since then
letters from all over the world have
come in, until now it takes a force
of about eight people through No-^
vember and December to haniUe the
Christmas mail with a new electric
canceling machine. About W,000
pieces a day are dispatched around
Christmas.
A Santa Claus headquarters is
maintained where thousands of tour
ists and visitors buy gifts and post
cards. During the Christmas week,
Santa Claus, in full uniform and
long whiskers, presides.
Although this is the only town in
the world bearing this name, other
places have names associate with
the Yule holiday.
Christmas island, in the Pacific
ocean, is so named because Captain
Cook landed there Christmas day,
1777.
Five communities in the United
States are named for ffiis holiday.
’There is a Quristmas in Gila coun
ty, Arizona; Orange county, Flor
ida; Lawrence county, Kentucky;
Bolivar county, Mississippi; and
Roane county, Tennessee.
Minnesota boasts of a lake by the
name of Christmas. It is locate in
Scett county.
It is a good thing to observe Christ
mas Day. The mere maridng of times
and seasons, when men agree to stop
work and make merry together, is a
wise and wholesome custom. It helps
one to feel the supremacy of the
common life bver the individual life.
It reminds a man to set his own little
watch, now and then, by tiie great
clock of humanity runs on
time.
But there is a better thing than the
observance of Christmas Day, and
that is keeping Christmas.
Are you willing to forget what you
have done for other people, and to
remember what other people have
done for you; to ignore what the
world owes you, and to think of
what you owe the world; to put your
rights in the background, and your
duties in the middle distance, and
your chances to do little more than
your duty in the foreground; to see
that your fellowmen are just as real
as you are, and try to look behind
their faces to their hearts, hungry
for joy; to own that probably the
jonly good reason for your existence
I is not what you are going to get out
jof life, but what you are going to
' give; to close your book of complaints
against the management of the uni
verse, and look around you for a
place where you can sow a few seeds
of happiness—are you willing to do'
those ^ings even for a day? ’Then
you can keep Christmas.
Are you willing to stoop down and
consider the needs and the desires of
little children; to remember the
weakness and loneliness of people
who are growing old; to stop asking
how much your friends love you, and
ask yourself whether you love them
enough; to bear in mind the things
that other people have to bear on
their hearts; to try to, understand
what those who live in the same
house with you reglly want, without
waiting for them to tell you; to trim
your lamp so that it will give more
lif^t and less smoke, and to carry it
in front so that your shadow will fall
behind you; to make a grave for
your ugly thoughts and a garden for
your kindly feelings with the gate
open — are you willing to do these
things even for a day? ’Then you can
keep Chrismas.
Are you willing to believe that love
is the strongest thing in the'World—
stronger than evil, stronger than
death? Then you can keep Christ
mas.
And if you keep it for a day, why
not always?
But you can never keep it alone."
