Why send them the Sun Its better than a letter from home Bell Phone East 999 A Merr Christmas Thoughts For Young and Old. By Chas. A. Starks. Whatsoever is wrong, May it pass away And let joy be my song On this Christmas Day. Christmas bring memories of sweet- er days gone, and as I see the pure snow, I turn to beautiful thoughts, kind acts and a joyful spirit. A little Christmas wooing, A little love and bliss, A little heartsome cooing, And a little sweet kiss. My Dear One: I am trying to im- port to you a measure of joy which I feel today. The Sun shines in my heart. My soul is full of the carol of years. It thrills, yet I do not alto- gether understand. I catch only strains, here and there, as if from some angelic chorus. Something about "laid in a manger," "A Star of the East," "The three wise shepherds" and "Peace and good will to men," but I guess what I am trying most to say is "BRIGHT, SWEET CHRISTMAS TO YOU." REV. WM. H. THOMAS, D. D., who will deliver one of his matchless sermons Christmas morning at 5:00 o'clock at historic Allen Chapel. Christmas comes in winter time, When our hearts need reviving; Then ring out the songs and chime Which make us feel like striving. May the hallowed spirit of Christmas find place in your plans for the future, lengthening and beautifying your days, so that life will be to you as God has intended it should be to all—a joy and a blessing. We long for that day When Christmas will be in power; This, Lord, is what we pray. That we know Thee each blessed hour. But there is a romance in Christmas, my dear; I see the hills and rocky crags of Bethlehem and hear the weird winds singing new songs of praise. Place of Christ, the most sacred spot on earth, divine associations that enthrall the world! Here the super-brilliant babe was born. Three stalwart figures came and went. A star descended to do guidance. A great light shone. At first we thought it from the sky, but soon discovered it was rather teh LIGHT OF THE WORLD, whose countenance brightened. The Morning light of love, the Day of all Good was here—The First Christmas! I look way back upon the years, In palastine and its deep wild, I see thru many joyful tears The birth of the Bethlehem child. Let no one mourn, unsatisfied, this Christmas day for consolation, for the sweet cherry companionship of love. If downtrodden, look up. If despondent, look up, look ye up. For There's joy that brightens, a love that fires. There's place for the sad and sorrowing hearts. There's wisdom for the mind that God inspires And success for the true and nobler The Kansas City Sun What beauty the heavenly one imparts To man, to nature and to all the earth From its own bright alpha the glory starts Covering all things with encircling girth. IMPERIAL POTENTATE HERE. Imperial Potentate J. M. Morris of Minneapolis, Minn., presiding over the Shriners of North and South America paid an official visit to Allah Temple No. 6, last Wednesday evening and was given a royal reception. Nearly a hundred nobles in full costume were in attendance, and a most enjoyable evening was spent. The annual election of officers of Allah Temple was held resulting in the re-election of old officers with Noble D. C. Houston as Illustrious Potentate. The Imperial Potentate gave a most instructive and highly enjoyable address which was received with much enthusiasm by the Nobles assembled and answered many questions bearing upon the work of the fraternity. After a few brief addresses, a delightful luncheon was served by the Fr. J. Middleton Catering Co. and all left in the wee hours of the morning declaring it one of the most enjoyable affairs Allah Temple had ever had. While here the Imperial Potentate was the guest of P ast Grand Master, N. C. Crews at 2624 Highland Avenue. He left Thursday evening to visit the Temple at St. Joseph, Mo., carrying with him the best wishes of the membership of Allah Temple. Y. M. C. A. NOTES Next Sunday afternoon Rev. D. A. Holmes will address the men's meeting at 3:30 p. m. Rev. Holmes is one of the best speakers we have and we are anxious that a large number of men be present to hear him. The membership campaign has been extended to the first of the year. Mr. R. S. Street, of the "Reds" is leading the race for the largest number of members; having brought in twenty up to this time. At the present time the "Y" is crowded to capacity. We have endeavored to find homes out in the city, not 'Bufet Flats,' where we can send respectable young men, and will be pleased to have persons desiring roomers to get in touch with the secretary. On Christmas day the Cafeteria will be closed after five (5:00) p. m. in order that the employees may have a part holiday. Dinner will be served from 12 to 5 p. m. * Why not give him a membership in the Y. M. C. A. for Christmas? He can enjoy this the year round, and will be much better pleased than he will be with anything else. Try it. $2.00. The "Y" Cafeteria will close at 5:00 p. m. on Christmas Day. Get dinner between 12 and 5 p. m. Miss Buelah M. Bank arrived here from San Bernardino, Calif., Sunday and was quietly married Tuesday, December 18, to Mr. Thomas T.

THE DAY WORKERS' INDUSTRIAL UNION. In, view of the fact that living has increased 180 per cent in the last 18 months, the Colored working women of Kansas City have organized into what is known as the Day Workers' Industrial Union, under the American Federation of Labor, for a 50 per cent increase of wages, thus receiving $2.10 per day instead of $1.60 per day. The Union members are demanding the Union wage, $2.10 per day, and all are receiving it with little protest. We are making an earnest appeal to all ATTENTION. SUBSCRIBERS!

Be in SAVE FOOD. Lest we forget! We are at war, and it is not a mere outing like the Spanish-American War—but a serious war in which the little things that each person is asked to do will prove of as special importance as the larger ones. You are asked to make the small sacrifices, so that the larger sacrifices will not be necessary. If one-half of all the Colored families in the United States would use one teaspoonful of sugar less in their tea and coffee one day each week, this little sacrifice would result in the saving of 1,500,000 pounds of sugar a year. Sugar is a necessity in this war. If one-half of our families would use one pound of flour less each week, it would have 800,000 bushels of wheat, which could be sent to help feed our soldiers and those who are fighting by our side in this war. The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute has produced a bread in which sweet potatoes take the place of some of the wheat flour. This "Tuskegee bread" is now being made at various schools, both white and colored, and, it is stated, has caused a saving at Tuskegee of 200 pounds of flour each day. This "Tuskegee bread" is a contribution to the war of which we can all feel proud, and is placed to our credit in the same way as the splendid work at Des Moines. Just as Tuskegee has done a definite thing to help our country, so the Government expects that the churches, lodges and schools will likewise make their definite contribution. If you want to know what to do, or should you have reports to make, communicate with A. U. Craig, United States Food Administration, Washington, D. C. How about your garbage can? A recent investigation as to the waste of food—as shown by the contents of the garbage can in various cities—indicates that there has been a decided decrease in the waste of food stuffs. The garbage collector of Washington, D. C., finds so little garbage to be collected that he has refused to enter into a contract with the city, giving as a reason, therefore, that there is so little garbage collected and his terms of selling it are so small, that he is compelled to charge more for collecting the garbage. The following are some of the Colored volunteer workers in co-operating organizations of the Food Administration: Miss Nannie H. Burroughs and Mrs. I. A. Jurix, W. W. D. Battle WHEN WILL THE WAR END An ingenious collection of figures, so worked out as to demonstrate that "War Ends 1918—if Figures Don't Fail," has been put out in poster form by a New York tobacco and cigar concern. The coincidences of addition and division, all showing that the war will end next year, are remarkable. Here they are: Rev. M. L. Breeding, Rev. Thomas J. Brown, Rev. M. W. Clair, Rev. W. H. Jernagin, Rev. L. Z. Johnson, Rev. L. S. Sheafe, Rev. Emory B. Smith, Rev. Daniel Wiseman, J. H. Davis and Prof. J. R. Hawkins. Let the people know that you are a member of the United States Food Administration by keeping your window card where it can be seen. Many churches, lodges and communities are organizing food clubs for buying in wholesale lots and selling to members at wholesale prices.

Church, and President of the Methodist Ministerial Alliance, who is doing splendid work in the Wineatley-Provident Hospital Campaign. way it is possible now for the consumer to get his food at the same price that the retail stores purchase. Potatoes are now being sold by the pound, which is the only-fair way to the seller and buyer. At the rate of sixteen pounds for forty cents, the cost per bushel is one dollar and fifty cents. If you are paying a price you think is too high for fuel or food take the matter up with your Federal Fuel Administrator, your Federal Food Administrator, or their agents, in your town. Now is the time to make Christmas candies. There are many good recipes for making candies by using molasses and syrups instead of sugar. Use a little less sugar now because of the fact that we are at war, and that sugar, which is a luxury for us in the form of candy, is a food which soldiers fighting in Europe must have. There is plenty of coal, but the railroads are not able to ship as much coal during war times, because of extra demands for the transportation of soldiers and war material. Hence the Fuel Administration asks persons not to use coal for heating any rooms not in constant use. Be saving with coal and gas; use wood as much as possible. From Our Foreign Correspondents A.

EDITORIALS. Now it is reported that one of the big Kansas City banks is finding great difficulty in handling its Colored patronage without offending its white depositors. If the white people of this country can learn to hate the Kaiser as cordially as they despise Sambo, the European war will not linger another year. Do not get the idea that the obstreperous, big-mouthed Negro is only to be found at the Fourth Street "Dawg walk." You will find him just as easily at the big-to-do Christmas functions. It is reported that the Ivanhoe will cut the "Chimmie" at the big Christmas party at Labor Temple. In fact the Ivanhoe has decided to cut out all vulgar dancing, even if it is necessary to ask someone to go home. Well, if it comes to the point where in certain firms do not longer care for Negro patronage, why not stay away from those places? If it comes to the point wherein a Colored man cannot spend his money, that will be the milenium. It may happen that before this relentless war is over wounded Negro soldiers may have to be cared for at the Wheatly-Provident Hospital. Will you do your bit toward preparing in advance for this probability? We are daily warned to do nothing that will "give comfort to the enemy" and yet 13 Negro soldiers were hanged and 45 imprisoned because they resented the brutality and unbearable goading of a few Southern "crackers." "To "a man up a tree" that remembers Lincoln's famous saying that "a house divided cannot stand" it looks decidedly like giving a whole lot of "comfort" as well as joy to the "enemy."

SHOWN BY A FEDERAL REPORT Dean McCaustland of State University Says Figures Compare Favorably With Other States. The Division of Economics, U. S. Office of Public Roads and Rural Engineering, recently published figures on the expenditures of the various states in 1916 for roads and bridges. Dean E. J. McCaustland of the University of Missouri has studied the report to see how Missouri's activities compare with those of adjoining states. State funds expended under the supervision of the State Highways Department for the year amount to $482,859, of which $279,548 was used in construction, $198,226 in maintenance, and $10,085 in administration, Dean McCaustland found. The Division estimates that the local brdige and road expenditures not under the State Highway Department amounted to approximately $7,500,000. In the matter of maintenance it is estimated that 9,000 miles were kept in repair by state ald during the year; also it was estimated that $700,000 would be available from state funds for all purposes for 1917. "The bare statement of these figures, however, is likely to convey very little information unless we give some consideration to the total mileage in the state and also the proportion of this total which has received attention in the way of special surfacing." says the University engineer. "The available figures indicate that the total of all public rural roads in the state approximate 96,000, of which somewhat more than 7,000 or $7\frac{1}{2}$ per cent are surfaced. In comparison with adjoining states Missouri makes a reasonably fair showing in this regard, since Iowa is credited with only 1 per cent of surfaced roads, Kansas with 13-10, Illinois 13, Arkansas 3, and Nebraska 1-7.10. "The Missouri state-aid law was passed in 1907, and up to January 1, 1917, more than $2,250,000 of state funds had been expended for road work. There is no doubt that under the new organization of our Highway Department and with the Federal aid, future funds will be much more effectively used than has been possible in the past." A Grundy County Pioneer Dies. Charles W. Scott. 84 years old, the first settler in Grundy county, died recently at his old homestead twelve miles north of Trenton. Mr. Scott came to Missouri during the California gold rush of 1849. Ear of Corn Brings $100. Pettis county closed the most successful corn show in its history at Sedalia recently. An ear of corn which secured the sweepstakes, and which was grown by William Romig of near Dresden, was sold for $100 at auction at the close of the show. It was purchased by the citizens of Hughesville and Houstonia. The $100 was donated to the Red Cross chapters of those two towns. The first bushel of prize corn was purchased by Representative McAninch for $75. Another bushel was bought by several Sedalians for $100, which was also donated to the Red Cross chapter here. The prize ear of corn which sold for $100 contained an even 1,000 grains. It was perfect and will be taken to Columbia for experimental purposes. Service Flag at Kirksville The service flag of the normal school at Kirksville displays 138 stars, representing men in all grades of service from General Pershing, who was graduated in 1880, to the rawest recruit. Seventy-five men are in the army, thirty-two in the navy, thirteen in the medical and hospital corps, five in aviation and signal service, four marines, three field artillery, two quartermaster's corps, two cavalry and one on dental reserves. Each man is sent a copy of the school paper weekly. Candy Fatal to Missourian. Mrs. J. W. Roberts is dead and her husband is fatally ill near Kingsville, the result of eating candy believed to contain poison. Alma Huggins, their niece, made molasses taffy and took it to school intending to present it to her uncle and aunt. She left it in her desk until the following day. Later she took the candy to the home of her uncle. Mr. and Mrs. Roberts and Miss Huggins ate the taffy and all were taken ill. In forty-five minutes Mrs. Roberts was dead. A Lexington Pioneer Dead. James M. Peake, 89 years old, is dead at his home in Lexington. He was born in Kentucky in 1828. He came to Lafayette county, Missouri, in 1856. He was married to Miss Isabelle V. Longdon in 1868. Neosho Boy a Suicide. L. H. Price, an 18-year-old naval recruit from Neosho, committed suicide by hanging, according to officers of the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, who investigated circumstances under which his body was found.

A QUIET MARRIAGE. Mr. Earl Logan and Miss Emma Janetta Williams were quietly married last Wednesday the 12 inst. Both, though extremely popular among a goodly number of friends, agreed, that there would be no wedding band for them, nor any of the usual noise and bluster. The now Mrs. Logan is one of the Senior respectable families of this city, having graduated from Lincoln High School, she added two years at the Kansas State University; being of a sweet cherry temperament one may hazard the guess that she will prove the nobler qualities of a wife. Mr. Logan, himself is one of those likeable youths that everybody has a glad heart for and has any number of attainments that go to make up a clever fellow. He is a waiver by profession and one of the very best in his line, this seems to enable him to stop, his way, a goodly portion of Uncle Sam's currency. No mean asset, you will say, in the forming of a husband. But what we are trying to convey to this pair is that their friends wish them a life of long happiness.

FARMERS BEAT HESSIAN FLY Effective Work in Controlling This Pest Has Been Done by Co-Operation of Wheat Growers. Missouri farmers have done effective work in controlling the hessian fly. A recent survey made by the University of Missouri College of Agriculture and the United States Department of Agriculture indicated that the co-operative work which farmers are doing has practically eliminated the fly wherever the co-operation has been thorough. Hessian fly experimental fields in Johnson, Clay, Nodaway, Carroll, Boone, Madison, St. Genevieve, Perry, Mississippi, Butler Greene, and Laclede counties were inspected. In addition several farms in each of the counties were also visited. Only in Mississippi county was the hessian fly found. In 1915-1916 Missouri as a whole was heavily infested with fly and in some sections the wheat crop was almost completely destroyed. As a result of this damage many Missouri farmers began to practice control measures by plowing under the stubble early, just as soon as the wheat was cut, keeping down all volunteer wheat during July, August and September and seeding on or about the fly-free date. This practice resulted in a good seedbed and fewer flies, with a larger yield from the 1916-1917 crop. This fall very little wheat was sown before the fly-free date, except in sections where an exceptionally large crop was sown and owing to the scarcity of labor the seeding had to be begun early, as was the case in Southeast Missouri, where the fly was found. However, taking the state as a whole very little damage need be expected to the 1917-18 wheat crop by the hessian fly. The acreage of wheat is from twenty-five to fifty per cent greater this year than last and the prospects for a large crop are good, provided that the winter is favorable. TO DISCUSS MILK DELIVERY Producers and Distributers to Hold Conference at Columbia During the Farmers' Week. A conference of milk producers and distributors will be held during Farmers' Week at the University of Missouri, Columbia, January 14 to 18. War conditions have aggravated the problem of the milk distributors especially in the smaller towns. This will be the second market milk conference. The first was held last year. Daily lectures will be given on feeding for milk production, selection and breeding of cattle, raising calves on substitutes, and other questions of direct interest to dairymen. The increased cost of marketing milk due to shortage of labor, slaughter of cows for beef, and high cost of feed has seriously handicapped the producers of milk. The distributers are confronted with similar difficulties in supplying the demand for pure milk at a reasonable price. The program for January 15 has been especially designed for retailers of milk. Demonstrations of market milk machinery and milk plant methods will be given. For the afternoon the following program has been arranged: Making and Selling Cottage Cheese—a Byproduct of the Milk Plant, L.G. Rinkle, University of Missouri; Building a City Milk Delivery Business, A. H. Shepard, White Eagle Dairy Co., Columbia, Mo.; What the Consumer Has a Right to Demand of the Milk Man, Percy Werner, Jr., University of Missouri. To Limit Sugar Sales. Wholesale grocers of St. Louis have been instructed by the food administration to limit their sales of sugar to 500 pounds to each retailer every ten days. Consumers will be allowed to buy but five pounds every ten days. Missouri Quail in Danger. Thousands of quail in counties of southern Missouri are in danger of starvation, says an appeal issued at Springfield by deputy state game wardens, in which farmers of that region are asked to put out feed for the birds. Snow a foot in depth has covered the ground for nearly a week and the quail are reported to be huddled in places of shelter from the zero temperatures, unable to stir around and reach their natural food supply. Women to Run St. Louis Cars Women will fill vacancies in the ranks of street car conductors in St. Louis as fast as they occur after January 1. Present men employees are not to be discharged to make way for the women, but no more men will be hired. D. D. Ford, 91 years old, Fulton's oldest citizen, and believed to be the oldest Mason in Missouri, both as to age and length of membership, died there recently.

The saying "frozen music," as applied to architecture, has often been credited to Mme. de Stael. In "Corinne" she says that "the sight of such a building (St. Peter's) is the ceaseless changeless melody." The dictionaries of quotations usually trace it to the German, Schelling, Eckermann, in his "Conversations," represents Goethe as claiming it. Take One Pain Pill, then—Take It Easy.

Agt., 314 East 2d St. Oklahoma City, Okla. Uncle John's Christmas M YRTLE stopped playing on the organ, and whirled about, addressing the family gathered around the evening lamp. "I've got a conundrum for you," she announced. "One of those that has no answer, I'll bet," said Tim, who was popping corn over a bed of glowing coals. "I don't get caught twice the same way." "All right, smarty!" Count you out then. You'd only give some fool answer anyway. You're never serious." "Come on with your conundrum," yawned Edith. "I need something to wake me up. This old algebra makes me sleepy." "Well, here it is: How are we going to give any Christmas presents, with no crops, no money, no nothing?" "Told you there wouldn't be any answer," chuckled Tim. "I'm afraid Tim is right, Myrtle," and mother looked up from laying the child's coat pattern upon the ripped-up overcoat on the table. "What do you want to bother about Christmas presents for? Everybody knows we haven't got any money to buy presents," and father looked up from the market reports. "Every blamed thing raised on a farm is high except hay, and that's the only thing I've got. If we get through the winter ourselves we'll do well, without trying to make Christmas presents." "I don't care! I'm going to do something for Uncle John, anyway," declared Myrtle. "He sent me this organ, and I'm going to just remind him that I've not forgotten if nothing more." Myrtle had a firm chin. The dimple might distract the attention of the casual observer, but the fact remained. Myrtle had a firm chin. It had first begun to make itself felt in the family about fifteen years before, when Myrtle was a year old. Being a reasonable and well-balanced creature, her rule was not only tolerated, but her plans, always practicable and often brilliant, sooner or later received the co-operation of the family, no matter how much they may have been opposed at first. Her heart's desire was to have a fine musical education, but she knew that it was far too expensive to be thought of. She had sensibly concluded to do as well as she could the duties nearest at hand. "I'm going to take command," she said now, "and together we are going to do something." "You're welcome to, as far as I am concerned," grumbled Tim. "Excuse me from sending 25-cent presents to a rich uncle." "Never you mind," said Myrtle, mysteriously. Thereafter there were "doings" in the household. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and soon even Tim got interested. "I'm going to send Uncle John a home-cooked Christmas dinner," Myrtle declared. "We bain't got a turkey." said ma. "Ive got the duck pa promised me for taking care of the rest of them, and it is as fat as butter. You roast and stuff it and then we will all take a hand at the trimmings." Myrtle's mother was an excellent cook, and her clear, firm jellies and perfect canned fruit were the envy of her less skillful neighbors. Myrtle ransacked the shelves and selected three glasses of jelly, one of an amber color, another of ruby red, the third and most beautiful, being one of a pale translucent green. She stood each in a square of crepe paper, brought up the sides and corners, and tied them tightly, and then pulled out the top all around until it looked like a flower. Each color corresponded to the color of the jelly in the glass. Then she lined and covered a box with paper, and set in the ruby, the amber, and the pale green flowers. She covered the box, and tied it with Christmas ribbon attached to which was a card on which was written: "With that duck you're going to eat, You'll need something tart, but sweet, That's us." A glass can of watermelon pickles was wrapped in corrugated cardboard, and then wound about The lifeboat is a very modern contrivance. It is not much more than a half century since it came to be generally used. In the old days a sea captain greatly resented even the suggestion that his vessel should carry lifeboats. At the period when these boats still were an experiment, a remarkable feat of life-saving was performed on the New Jersey coast at a point now within the precincts of Asbury Park, Joseph Francis, an inventor, had brought forth a device made of iron and shaped like a boat, with a lid which could be shut, thus keeping out the water. Franks contended that in case of a shipwreck near shore a line could be made fast between the vessel and the coast, and his quaint lifeboat hauled back and forth, carrying several persons on each trip. Francis was the butt of much humor, and his life-saving boat, which was commonly called a kettle because of its odd shape, became a subject for general derision. Then a vessel bearing the name of Ayrshire was wrecked in 1847 off the Jersey const. It had a large passenger list, and great loss of life seemed inevitable. Francis rushed to the scene got a line to the ship and started his boat upon its first emergency test. He saved 201 lives by this method, many of which must have been lost otherwise, for the sea was so rough that no ordinary boat could have ever reached land from the wreck. In recognition of his skill and bravery, congress presented Francis with the largest gold medal ever given by that body. It was made of pure gold, two-thirds of an inch thick, and was of about the same size as a tea plate. The boat devise by Francis might still be in use were it not for the breeches buoy. Because of the boat's size, weight and general clumsiness it was difficult to handle. But it was none the less practical, and proved the way for the breeches buoy, operated on the same principle. THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1917. E. DeGraff Central New Yorker with crepe paper, twisted tightly, and the ends fringed. It then resembled the old-fashioned motto candles. That the motto or couplet might not be lacking, the following lines were written and inserted: "Those Jell girls may be tart and sweet, But I've heard that they lack spice. If of me you'll delign to eat I am sure you'll vote me nice." Grandma made a wonderful fruit cake—the kind that lasts a year, and improves with age. This was surrounded with white parchment paper, and covered with a white paper dolly, and fancy edges. This was laid carefully over the waxed paper, which covered the frosting, studded thickly with whole hickory and butternut meats. The whole was packed into a round box, made by Myrtle's skilful fingers. To make it she cut two disks of cardboard of the required size, and two long strips of the same cardboard, one the height of the cake, the other narrower, for the cover. She bound the edges together with gummed tape, and covered their junction with narrow strips of gold paper. Then she neatly covered top and sides with Christmas paper, all holly and mistletoe. Lastly, she tied two bright scarlet ribbons about the box, one each way. She made plump bows, and, gathering the ends of the ribbons, sewed tiny sleigh bells on them, so that the box, when moved, gave forth a sweet musical sound. Myrtle surveyed the box with satisfaction, her head on one side. "You ought to please," she said. "You appeal to the eye, the ear, and the palate." The box certainly did present an imposing appearance. On the inside of the cover appeared the lines: "Of course this cake was made by mother; She says if it don't suit, she'll make you another." A great generous ball of cottage cheese was wrapped in paper and packed in a square box, with plenty of tissue paper in the corners. Accompanying it was the legend: "If Esau had known of the cheese called 'cottage,' He'd have traded for that, instead of the pottery." 'There were two generous loaves of bread, one of "salt rising," the other yeast raised. On a card were the lines: "Grandma says, when you were a boy. And eating 'salt rising,' you never could stop; But in case you tire of the old-fashioned kind, Here's another loaf, raised with the hop." Packed about the loaves, and neatly wrapped, each by itself, in parchment paper, were a dozen little individual butter pats, molded in the form of a rose. Myrtle wrote: "We wonder if, when you eat, you'll mutter: 'Aha! That tastes like Old Home butter!'" The mince pie was concocted with immense care, from the careful choosing and mixing of the ingredients, to the construction of the faultless, flaky crust, just touched with the faintest hint of golden brown. This was carefully packed between two wooden plates, tied firmly together. On the top plate was written: "When is it true that a man's a mince pie? Cannot you take the hint? Why, a man's a Mint Spy of course, you know, When he acts as a spy in the mint." The duck was, of course, the chef d'oeuvre of the whole undertaking. When it was ready, lying on its back, with its fat legs composed at its plump sides, it surely did look appetizing. The "Poet Lariat," as Tim called her, wrote the following: "Not a porcine suckling, but a nice fat duckling You draw for your Christmas dinner. You ne'e'r saw a duck That was nicer to pluck; We hope you will vote him a winner." Some beautiful red Brother Jonathan apples were tucked in the corners, and a glass of elderberry jelly. These were grandma's contribution, and she wrote, in a somewhat trembling hand, the following note: "Dear Johnny: "These apples came off from the tree where you fell and broke your leg that time. Do you remember? I wouldn't let them cut it down when they cut the others. The elderberry jelly was made from the elderberries that grow on the bushes by the old swimming hole. "MOTHER." When everything was finished and the box about ready to go, there still remained two things to be done. One was to put in the old-fashioned daguerreotype of grandma, with Aunt Myrtle (taken at sixteen) standing on one side of her, and Uncle John on the other. This had been taken many years before, for a relative, and had been sent away, and its existence forgotten. Myrtle had been named for her aunt, and she looked very much as the latter had done at her age. Aunt Myrtle had died at eighteen, so Myrtle never saw her. The other thing to be inclosed was the amateur photograph of grandma and the present Myrtle. She had posed in imitation of the pose in the early picture, with her arm around grandma's neck. The resemblance between her picture and that of Aunt Myrtle was almost startling. When grandma looked at the two pictures together she shook her head: "Do I really look as old at that?" she sighed. "I hate to send that to Johnny. I'm afraid it will shock him. I didn't look like that when he saw me last." But the picture went in, along with those which Tim (a genius at the work) had taken of each member of the family while engaged in preparing the box. Grandma was seen in spectacles and big apron, concocting the cake. Edith was taken dressing the duck, mother stuffing it, Myrtle packing it, and Tim screwing the lid of the box, which was on hinges. At last the box was ready, and it made a brave appearance indeed, for it had been painted a rich cardinal color, and in the corners Myrtle had transferred pictures of holly and mistletoe bunches. * It was Christmas eve. Uncle John sat in his bachelor home, his feet stretched out before a comfortable grate fire, his good old pipe in his mouth. When Uncle John was in a reminiscent mood he always smoked a pine. The housekeeper knocked softly at the door. "The expressman is here. He has brought a most remarkable looking box, and he says to sign right here." The box was brought in. "Please bring a screw driver," he said. The screw driver in his hand, he waited until the housekeeper had left the room. He had not kept much track of his home folks back on the farm. After Sister Myrtle died he hated to ever think of going back. Myrtle—the good fellow, the charming companion—as good as any boy—never took a dare—even kept him on the quilve to keep up with her (she was two years older). "Ah," sighed he. "There never was another girl like Myrtle." As his niece was named for Myrtle, who had always loved music, he had given her an organ, but that was years ago, and he had almost forgotten her existence. Here then was a box from the old home. His conscience gave a twinge. How he had neglected them! The box was empty. The contents had been carefully placed on the broad mahogany table. Uncle John sat before the fire, motionless. In one hand was the old picture. In the other he held the photograph. The wavering handwriting of his mother, and the sight of her wrinkled face and white hair in the photograph—such a contrast to that in the old picture—these touched him. Then the sight of Myrtle, with her fresh young face, her head bound around with heavy braids, just as his sister had worn hers—the coral beads, even, without which he never saw his sister—all these things had seized him and transported him back over the thirty years that had passed since he had seen his home. Seizing the receiver at his elbow he called up the telegraph office and dictated the following message: "Will be home New Years. Greetings. Box received. UNCLE JOHN." Then he again took up the pictures and studied them. Grandma and—Myrtle. His beloved Myrtle—restored to him from the dead! He no longer marveled at that wonderful box. "Such girls can accomplish anything if they get a chance!" he said. Suddenly he straightened up and pounded the arm of his chair with his fist. "And, by George! I'll see that she gets a chance!" What shall I send that boy in military camp? Many mothers and others are asking that question. In reply, Dr. James Nalsmith, professor of physical education in the University of Kansas, says: "Send him candy and lemons, a good book and, if his company has a talking machine, a record of light music or something funny. But don't send him sob letters or nightgowns." Doctor Nalsmith speaks from 30 years' experience in training university and college youths and from four months on the border as chaplain of the First Kansas infantry. He is the inventor of basket ball and has trained hundreds of athletes and kept thousands of students physically fit. "Sob letters and nightgowns were the most worrying and useless things the boys on the border received from home," said Doctor Nalsmith. "Write that boy once or twice a week. Send him the home paper. He may not seem prompt about writing home, but never forget he has an insatiable appetite for home letters and the home paper. His appetite for sweets, too, is very keen. The army ration, wholesome and nourishing hasn't many trimmings, so candy always is warmly welcomed by the boys. Homemade fudge or caramel candy, something that doesn't mash or melt easily, should be sent. "There is no need to send clothing or medicines. Uncle Sam will look out for that. But small musical instruments are valuable in keeping a camp cheerful. Banjos, mandolins, even ukelees, are good. Baseballs, bats, gloves and masks always are welcome. Anything that encourages healthful play is good to send. "I am very much in earnest when I ask that no sob letters be sent the boys. Also, if you know of some boy who has no one to write him or to send him candy, remember him. I saw boys who felt it quite a little that there was no one to remember them. They're all just big kiddies, you knifow, and they need appreciation." Fads And Fancies Of Fashion ```markdown ``` IN SATIN AND SEALSKIN. A new and very handsome development of the tunic appears in this unusual dress of gray satin, trimmed with bands of sealskin. If ever any frock was designed, versatile enough to play a greater number of roles in the days drama, the memory of the fashion writer fails to recall it. Here is a costume, with a detachable collar of fur, which needs only a touch to make it quite in place on the street, at dinner, at almost any place that the rounds of the day will carry its weiner. The last we patriotic design and blue satin plimenting the inches wide stripes to for Three hands here—two of bag is neede sewing bag, be inspired by other brings The tunic and over-bodice in one look like one of those slip-over affairs that appear in dresses and blouses and sweaters of approved style. In reality it fastens at the left side, with snap fasteners under a knot of satin-covered cord at the waistline. The design is so simple as to hardly need description, which is one sure sign that it is the product of a genus. Whoever is to be credited with it wedded ```markdown ``` NOVELTY BAGS OF RIBBON. the smart apron front to a full tunic skirt at the sides and back and demonstrated that they were made for each other. The underdress is a plain slip of the satin with rather close-fitting coat sleeves. The neck is split to form a V-shaped opening with turned-back revers. The girdle is merely a cable cord, covered with satin, so smoothly that it bespeaks an expert needle woman's work. It defines the waistline loosely and is held in just the right position with the simplest of knots at each side than in front, where it loops over. The balls of seal-skin make a perfect finish for the long ends. In tan or taupe or gray, or in dark shades of other fashionable colors, this model will prove itself an asset in the wardrobe of any woman, and especially useful to her who wants to make one dress answer the purposes of two or three. Besides this it is a delight to the woman of discriminating taste who will appreciate its distinction. Satin and, seal-skin do not need elaboration. With the rising tide of Christmas shoppers a current sets toward the ribbon counter in search of novelties. The ribbon department rarely disappoints its patrons. From unfailing springs of inspiration, the designers of novelties bring, each year, the most exquisite of belongings, personal, and for house decoration, made of ribbons. Bags, it goes without saying almost, are the item of greatest interest and importance at the ribbon counter this year. The knitting bag is a badge of patriotism and has made itself almost as indispensable as a hat or gloves. Bags are not to be classed as novelties but certain kinds are new and there are many new ways of making them, many novelties in ribbons are used for them. The last word in knitting bags is a patriotic design made of red, white and blue satin ribbon, by way of complimenting the colors. The red and white predominate, and ribbon three inches wide is stitched together in stripes to form a capacious bag. Three handsome new bags are shown here—two of them to use where a bag is needed and one made for a sewing bag. One of them appears to be inspired by a Chinese lantern, another brings to mind an Indian canoe, while the sewing bag suggests that some flower suggested it. These fancies are helped out by the colorings used, as well as the shapes. The lantern bag is of heavy black ribbon brocaded with vivid blue, green and light tan color, all emphasized by a sprinkling of black, and all as glowing as these colors are in Chinese silks. It is lined with bright green satin, which appears in a ruffle at ```markdown ``` the neck of the bag. Tassels of jade and silk are suspended at the sides. A small cap of green satin appears at the bottom of the bag and a big green bead, on a black silk cord hangs from it. The same cord is used for handles. The canoe bag is in pale tan and gold brocade with a crocheted top portion made of chenille and flat tassels, also with crocheted tops. These and the handle are all in light tan, but a vivid green satin lining gives life to the colorings. Plain rose-colored satin is used to line the bag of blue moire ribbon with four petal-like tabs of blue and rose brocaded ribbon about the top. It is suspended by narrow blue satin ribbon and an unexpected but effective touch of gold appears in the tassel at the bottom. Julia Bottomley For Winter Coats. Not all women get their coats ready-made. And those who do not are interested in selecting materials to have their coats made up. Velours, soft and thick and velvety, head the list of fashionable weaves. One may choose most any color and any one of the several good qualities. Bollvias, too, are high in favor, and these are even more expensive and finer than the velours. The colors are charming—the softest, prettiest shades imaginable.

SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) (Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR DECEMBER 23 THE STORY OF THE FIRST CHRISTMAS. LESSON TEXT—Matthew 2:1-12. GOLDEN TEXT—There is born to you this day in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.—Luke 2:11. The story of the birth of Jesus is recorded in three of the four Gospels, Matthew, Luke and John, each of which contributes some feature essential to complete the picture. No one should teach this lesson who does not have a good "harmony of the Gospels." Every year for the 45 years of the International Sunday School Lessons, we have had the Christmas lesson taken from these three Gospels one at a time. This year in closing the present series, we unite all three Gospels in one complete story, "The Story of the First Christmas." The order of events should clearly be kept in mind as follows: "The angelic announcement to Zacharias, the priest, while in the exercise of his ministerial office. The angelic announcement to Mary, the mother of Jesus, and to Joseph, her espoused husband, Mary's visit to her cousin, Elizabeth, and the birth of John the Baptist. The birth of Jesus and his circumcision on the eighth day (Luke 2:21). His redemption some 31 days later, introducing Simon the priest (Luke 2:22), and the purification of the mother. The coming of Jesus was at the most opportune time in all the history of the world, for Palestine was the central region of the Roman empire. The whole civilized world was subject to Roman domination. He was born while the entire world was at peace, for once in its history. Travel was at its best, for the Roman military roads all centered in Rome and extended throughout the empire. The Greek language was spoken everywhere, along with native languages, so that the Gospel could readily be heard in all parts of the empire. The Old Testament was translated into Greek. The Jews were scattered throughout all lands, carrying this Old Testament with them, and had established their synagogues in nearly every city and town. There was also a wide-spread intellectual and moral awakening, and there was wide-spread religious unrest and a hungering for something better. 1. The Search. Notice that he who was born on this first Christmas, was the "only begotten of God." This divine being became flesh, a strange and seemingly impossible union, but only such a union of the human and divine could draw man to God. If Jesus had not been identified with the divine nature of God, all the love, honor and devotion which we give to him, would lead us into idolatry. (1) Wisdom seeking (vv. 1. 2). See also Acts 13:8. Who these men were, we do not know. They were evidently students of the stars, and perhaps came from Persia whither Balaam went. (Numbers 23:7; Numbers 24:17-19.) They may have known of Daniel's prophecy. They came because they had seen a star. A little light, only a small star, and we may have the sun. (John 8:12.) The highest wisdom is to know God. (Prov. 9:10.) We do not have to seek far to find him. The highest wisdom is also teachable: "Where is he that is born?" These wise men were not the first ones to seek him, for the humble shepherds who had heard the angelic host (Luke 2:15, 10), immediately went to Jerusalem to make sure that the good news was true. Tradition only gives us the names of these men. They typify the world, the first Gentiles who came to seek Jesus. (2) Wickedness Seeking (v. 3-8). It is interesting to note the alarm of Herod, his suspicion and jealousy. Why? Note the carefulness of Herod's search. First the chief priests, who were the theologians; then the scribes and lawyers, who were the historians; then the common people who were familiar with the traditions; and, finally, the wise men (v. 7). 11. Wisdom Rewarded (vv. 9-11). Persistent obedient searching after God always brings wisdom. Notice the steps of the wise men. They sought, they found, they rejoiced, they worshiped and they gave gifts. The stable of Christ's birth is evidently an exchange for a house (v. 11 and Luke 2:7). The gifts they presented have a threefold significance: Gold, for royalty, indicating divine glory; Frankincense for deity, the aroma of his life; Myrhr, signifying death, his death and its value to mankind. Notice that they did not worship Mary. 11. Wickedness Foiled (vv. 12-16). God intervened (v. 12). Notice the impotent rage of the enemy (v. 16). Christ was delivered. Herod was dismayed, and the people were desolate. Suggestions: The cry "where" of the human heart is here answered. God answers all honest searching. God himself gave his best gift (John 8:16). God also desires our best gift. We must worship Jesus as king. Religion is not for the Magi alone, nor for the common people; it is for all. We have not far to go to go the Christ. He is even more than near. "For behold I stand at the door and knock."

THE HONOR ROLL A List of Subscribers to the Wheatley-Provident Hospital Fund up to Thursday the 20th MORE THAN HALF WAY. Good Weather Finds Hospital Workers Busy. Determination and Enthusiasm Brings Campaign Goal Nearer—Tag Day Today. The close of the second week of the Wheatley-Provident Hospital Campaign for $25,000 to pay for, remodel and equip the new building purchased by the Association at 1826 Forest avenue finds the half way post between the beginning and goal passed. Nothing has been able to lessen the enthusiasm of the workers. Cold weather, sloppy weather make no difference. Everyone works regardless of the weather and each day finds volunteers coming to head quarters offering their services to go out and secure subscriptions. The enthusiasm is not confined to the workers alone but has reached out and taken hold on the public. So great is the desire to help that every day persons who have not been reached by the volunteer force of solicitors $5,000—A large corporation (Conditional) Cash on hand $1541.00. This represents the sum of money raised in the campaign three years ago when an effort was made to secure funds for a new hospital. A good many knockers and evil minded people tried to give the impression that this money had been squandered but it remained intact in the hands of the treasurer until a few days ago when a thousand dollars was paid as the first payment on this splendid property we are seeking to acquire. $1,000—Mr. William Volker $1,000—Mr. Charles W.

Today the third and last week of the campaign which closes Saturday, December 29th, begins. Ten thousand dollars will be raised between this and that time to complete the fund. The team captains are whipping their forces together for the final pull which will result in the accomplishment of the desired result. The rivalry of the campaign has developed a spirited rivalry between a number of the teams for leadership in the amount of subscriptions received during the campaign. At present Team 3 captained by Dr. E. A. Walker, is in the lead while team 2, captained by Dr. Wm. J. Thompkins and team 6, captained by Dr. G. W. Brown are making a race which daily threatens to take from them first place. Chas. H. Adkins, C. H. Calloway and L. A. Knox, captains respectively of teams 7, 8 and 4 are organizing to produce a surprise in the final drive and C. A. Franklin whose team has the hoodoo number, thirteen, says that when the end comes it will be found that that number is not unlucky. Smith, Georgia Mason, Frank S. Moore Guy Shriner, Hardy Smith, W.

The Phyllis Wheatley Art Club, by unanimous vote, gave their $50.00 Liberty Bond to the Hospital Campaign, Good! Let others follow. One of the most commendable acts of the Hospital Campaign was the giving of a purse of $25.00 by the nurses at the Old City Hospital. When one remembers that these young women receive only $5 a month it proves that they are truly devoted to their race and those things which are helpful.
