Everything is arranged for the Alumni banquet and reunion Monday. The program is lined up and every section is busy with preparations, it will be a fine old time aud every ailumnus will enjoy it it he attends. We have watched you all carefully, boys and girls, old and young, and we are sure you all deserve a merry Christmas and full stockings and we have sent this word on to Santa. We hope you all have it. The municipal Christinas free on Liberty Way is a beauty and lighted with colored electric bulbs, gives a cheerful appearance to the down town The exercises last evening were in tune with the occasion and even the blustery weather did not prevent a large crowd from gathering. Workers in one of the local factories yesterday raised a fund of more than fifty dollars with which to provide clothing and shoes and provisions that will make a happy Christmas for an unfortunate family. That's the proper spirit for this time of year and we are sure every donor will be blessed. The special church services today and tomorrow over Adams county will provide more than the usual amount of seasonable joy for file children and the older folks. It is well to remember what the season stands for and the church brings out that fact and forms the real background for the celebrations after all. The police in a number of the larger cities have issued orders against operating an automobile in the streets at faster than ten miles per hour, declaring greater speed to be unreasonable and imprudent. Based on that statement, there are a lot of imprudents scattered about. ' You can't be too careful just now if you are driving. The Yellow Jackets won a basketball game last evening from the Angola fiv e and there is joy in the local camp. Thai’s fine, boys. You have had hard luck, you have worked and you deserve your share of victories. Remember that after all it’s the finish that sounts and you may be just starting on your bright path. Here's a chance for any of you folks who have yearned for an opportunity to show the world how well you can conduct a newspaper or a magazine. Bob Quilan, humorist aud publisher w ho gained fame by erecting a monument to Eve, offers to sell his printing plant and its said to be a good one, the Fountan Inn Tribune, in South Carolina, for one dollar and insists it’s no joke, but a real bargain. The weather is just about right for the glad Yuletide and every thing seems set for a great Christmas. Throw oft your worries, if you have any. forget the sad things, think of the happy ones and help every one else have a good time from now until the season is over. Perhaps by that time you will be so used to laughing and being merry tl.at. you will just keep it up through all of 1926. Wouldn't that be great? t " — According to 'Official information from the postotfice department at Washington, the "mail your Christmas' packages aud greetings early" campaign. has worked so well this year

that the officials will have the first full Christmas in years. Postmaster General New has Issued a greeting to all officials and employes, thanking them for their cooperation and we are sure the public will feel just as kindly towards those who have handled their letters, cards and packages so carefully. ■"-J™. The Delta Theta Tau ladles, under whose supervision the Good Fellows’ Club is annually conducted, were busy today getting their provisions, gifts, toys, clothing and candy ready for distribution among the p?>or families of the city and this afternoon aud evening they and old Santa were on the jump. It's a wonderful cause, well supported by the people and we congratulate the young ladies on their success and the splendid spirit which urges them to do so good a Christian act. The Elks arc also distributing baskets of food today and other charitable organizations are busy, so there should not be a family or person in this community which does not enjoy Christmas. This is the best county in the whole state and we believe in living and letting live and helping when necessary. That’s why Christmas means so much here. WE WISH YOU ONE AND ALE, A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS.
