Christmas has everything—hasn’t it? Christmas holds tightly many happy memories, is loaded with joy and good cheer right now. and pierces uncertainties of the future with the bright twinkle of hope.

Christmas opens up friendships more numerous, more delightful and more heart-warming than you knew you ha<j. Christmas appeals to all five of your senses. Is there any sight lovelier than gaily wrapped gifts, multicolored candles, shiny holly and decorations on a Christmas tree? Isn't there contentment in the fragrant smell of fir balsam in the living

It’ seems a shame that pers(»ns would even think of altering the face of th*- Capitol, one of the most impressive sights in our nation. Yet, there are some who want to destroy the beauty of the building by adding offices, restaurants and other facilities which would be nothing short of desecration. The Capitol belongs to you and to future generations of Americans — it is ours to protect.

FARM ® By DOX FRANTZ County Extension Agent FARMERS MSCUSS CROP LOSSES PROBLEM A large number of farmer-, were present at the Syracuse school last week to discuss the ever growing problem of crop losses due to birds. This ha> become a very serious problem to farmers, losses have run into tsands of dollars on some farms. It shows no sign of letting up. The primary species causing trouble is blackbirds, but there are cowbirds and grackle in about all the flocks.

Isn't self-control overstrained by the taste of festive, tempting foods? And don’t we respond to the invigorating touch of the sweet air outdoors and the welcome warmth of home and family within? .

It is the home of Congress. It is where such men as John C. Calhoun, Henry Clay, Daniel Webster and Robert Taft spoke and where Presidents have trod. Let’s help V. S. Senator Birch Bayh and others of "The Committee of One Million to Save the Capitol” in their efforts to save our heritage. You need only send your name and address to the Senator in Washington. D.

one was well aware of these. Then* is no good control at the present time The noisemakers, exploding shells and other devices only serve to spread the problem, but they are the only recourse a person has in trying to save his crop.
