The Milford Mail is calling the attention of the-young men of that town to the advantages of the army and navy, as a career. The advantages in the service certainly appeal to the young men of the country, but in order to get the most out of them, the young ipan himself must be of the right temperament. He must be willing to obey-orders and one who does rot care top much for the t‘family fireside.” In other words he must be ready to. shift for himself. Os the two branches of the service, the navy is probably preferable, as it gives one a splendid opportunity to see foreign lands. Kimmell Cement Plant.

MR. STAYBOLT AS SANTA CLAUS Some Things He Would Like to Give If He Could. “Do you know the Christmas present I’d like to make if I could?’.’ said Mr. Staybolt. “I’d like to give cheerfulness to the downhearted; courage to the timid, and-strength to the weak; the power of self-denial to those who yield too easily, and a desire to work to the lazy. “I have often thought what a pity it is that you can’t buy all these things, these helpful qualities, already put up and at such a price as to put them within the reach of all; canned cheerfulness, bottled hopefulness, courage in tablets, and strength, say, in the form of a powder, and so on; or you might, I suppose, put ’em all up canned; for that matter. “But in the absence of such market preparations and our consequent inability, to buy such things and send them as gifts to those whom they might most benefit perhaps you will permit me to offer to each a word of suggestion. , “To the dispirited take a cheerful view. To the downhearted, don’t dwell on the doleful side. To the timid, don’t be, afraid. To the weak, or those who fancy themselves so, stry your strength. You'll be surprised to find how much you’ve got. To those who yield too easily, deny yourself once, and again, and feel the Joy and strength that will come back to you. To the lazy, get a job with a shovel, in a gang of laborers, under a driving boss; and if you are not glad to get back to your present job to do the best you know how at it, I miss my guess. “I can’t send you these things in cans or bottles; but if anyone .of you will take my advice and-stick to it, you’ll think that Mr. Staybolt was a very kind Santa Claus.” CHRISTMAS PROVERBS The loye-light in the eyes of the precious ones of the household Is the most brilliant of Christmas illuminations. The soft Christmas light is not the least welcome where the shadows of bereavement have fallen during the year. The Christmas angels hover over such dwellings of sorrow in minIstrits of divine love. It was the Christ who said:" “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” Again, he said: “Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” i r fs nuTLiribe ’kvO ■ M HE/fffEUFOTMiXT ’ x t ■ TODO ] y Ztjp/z?

Then, skilled in mysteries of Night, With tender visions of delight She wreathed his resting-place, Till, wakened by a warmer glow .Than heaven itself had yet to show, He saw his mother’s face. , —John B.

Concerning Alaska. We usually think of Alaska as the “jumping off place” of the earth and consider it so cold as to make it next to impossible tor human beings to exist there. This is a wrong impression taking the country as a whole. Sitka, the capital, hasnever had weather cold enough to freeze ioo fcr summer use. The coldest weather ever recorded at Dutch Harbor, Alaska, was nine degrees above zero. Kadiao on the coast has never experienced weather colder than five degrees above zero. Should the proposed transcontinental railroad ever materializes it will tap this great country, crossing Behring Straits into AsiaT This will then probably then become one of the greatest wheat producing countries of the world, and other resources of the country have not been molested to any great extent. Tlri moderate temperature of Alaska is du- to ! h nfluence of the Japan current which carries the warm water of the tropics accross the Pacific and strikes this continent just below Alaska. California owes its delightful climate in part to the same cause. For Sale! Hune grown popcorn that will pop. It quire of Lincoln Cory, phone 425, Milford.
