CHRISTMAS
Hitchcock, Blaine County, Oklahoma, Thursday, December^7, 1920.
NUMBER 41.
The glad, joyous, fe«tal time
druvs near, and unnumbered
hearts are beating in delightful
anticipation, Store windows
are decked in holiday attire. The
holly and evergreen hang in ies-
tooue, and the wonderful Christ*
mas tree is gradually putting in
appearance* Cheery voices ring
out in rehearsals of song and
chorus for celebration night
Merry Christmas will soon be
here and Christmas songs are
songs of peace. Christmas
greetings arc greetings of gooc
will. IJow they soften hart
hearts, purify base desires,
sweeten bitter thoughts, and
make every deed purer and holi-
er; every wish kind and tender.
Let hearts expand, sympath
ies enlarge and good will reign.
Let benedictions drop from lips,
and substantial gifts fall from
overflowing hands. Make cheer-
less homes radiant, and hopeless
hearts to tliril with unspeakable
gladness. Forgive your enemies.
Bury the past. Rise above the
mean and petty resentments
which you may have harbored
against those who have not used
you well. Be generous. Get
ready to start the new year with
more kindly feelings' and more
noble ambitions. Make the
Christmas of this yet r a day to
which you can always look back
with pleasure and gratitude.
Peace and good will unto you,
dear reader, and a Merry, Met
ry Christmas to all.

Ain't It the Truth?
A innn spends a life time In an
earnest attempt to acquire knowledge.
About the only thing he learns to a
certainty Is that If he wishes to be
shaved on Saturday It Is better to go
to the barber shop In the forenoon.
Everything else Is disputed by some-
body.—Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Daily Tnougnt.
We learn wisdom from failure much
more than from success. We often
discover what will do by finding out
what will not do; and probably he
who never made a mistake made a
discovery.—Samuel Smiles.
Putting on Gloves.
The correct way to put on silk
gloves is to work each finger and the
thumb down separately. The glove*
should never he forced down by the
fingers of the other hand Into the

Didn’t Use His Weapon*.
A dog stolen In New York had three
gold teeth and wore a collar studded
with a hundred brilliant stones. If he
had been a real dog, he would have
sunk those three gold teeth Into the
thief. —Minneapolis Journal.
Very Lucky
Jaunie and Ida Stilt, old maid
sitters, decided that they would
go to the creek fora swim. They
owned no bathing suits, so they
sought a secluded place un-
frequented by men. 8oon they
were splashing in the shade of
some willows. 8ook, sook, sook,
heifer came to them through the
tangled briar patch. “Lord,
what will we do?" said Jaunie.
'‘Don’t ask the Lord,” "this
is one time you will have to de-
pend on yourself.” So they
climed into the thick branches of
a nearby willow. A brindli
heifer pushed her way throng i
the thicket and drank at the
root of the tree just under the
sisters. A one-suspender gent
ambled in from another dieec*
tipn and spied their clothing.
“Drowned!” was his first thot,
so he plunged into the stream
to recover their bodies. After a
short search he decided to run
for help, and took the maids’
clothing as evidence of the acci •
dent. Night soon came on and
the sisters made their wau thru
the brush and darkness to thei •
home. It was lucky that they
didn’t go to the creek early in
the morning or they might have
had to stay in the willow all day.
