Show i EXPENSIVE ADVERTISING i CAMPAIGN IS pLANNEC For the first time since . the wai started, the newspapers of the Stale of Utah are being paid for advertising advertis-ing a bond or W. S. S. drive. Heretofore Here-tofore the paper either had to donate the space or secure public spirited advertisere to use their space in advertise ad-vertise the various bond and W. S. S drives. Starting with last week the News and every other paper country paper, has received an order to publish a series of advertisements calling the attention of the people of Utah to the fact that the honor of the State was at stake if the full amount of W. S. S. was not bought. Also the daily papers of the larger cities are carrying carry-ing paid advertising. The matter of advertising for the euntry papers is being handled by Secretary R. T. Porte of the Utah State Press Association, who is also Publicity Director of the Utah W. S. S. Committee. The News has always willingly given giv-en of its space and news columns to all war work and glad to do it, yet it has always felt that part of the burden bur-den should be borne by the government, govern-ment, just as pay is asked for posters circulars and other advertising .stuff that has been so widely used. The total cost for this advertising campaign cam-paign is not a great deal, but the spirit of the idea is so much more that the News and the rest of the papers of the state feel like doing all that can possibly be done to keep the honor of Utah safe, and all the W. S. S. pledges paid... .and more. The few dollars received for the advertising is nothing compared to the thought that advertising space is valuable, just as valuable as the merchandise of a merchant and manufacturer, and should be paid for. If there is anything the W. S. S. Committee of Utah wants of the News, it has only to ask it, and if it is in our power to give it, the .Committee .Com-mittee may have it. Arid the people of the State should bejust as willing to back them up by buying more than their share of stamps. The war has been won, our boys helped, and now need your help. W. S. S. .

I have a good friend who is the soul of ; honor and fellowship, the embodiment I of loyalty, a friend who possesses the ; sterling virtues of undiluted friend- ship; but he is a sneeze-slacker who sprays the air with every kerchoo, notwithstanding the gentle protests of his friends. This one vice nullifies many of the virtues which make his personality a radiant one; and we sincerely hope he may soon see the! error of his way and greet his friends' with more regard for their health. He had a little habit i Of sneezing anywhere; J He knew it was mischevious, But still he didn't care. j Oh! all his friends are sniffling, And struggling for their breath; And each of them is wishing,-He'll wishing,-He'll sneeze himself to death. Harry Korns talks like an Italian basso since he recovered from the flu, and his eyes are still puffed like a nocturual reveller's the morning after. af-ter. Harry doesn't drink anything but water, but he's never rusty on anything which pertains to printing and publishing; and water does make iome things rusty. Since Charley Sloan was elected and must shortly exercise his vigilance vigi-lance on the county highways, why not call on him to macademize the road of happiness for some of us. Umo hung her stocking up, Where the coals were glowing; Waited for old Santa Claus, While the wind was blowing. In the morning she got up, Quicker than a minute, Thought her stocking filled but found, Just a big hole in it. Has Santa Claus? Well I guess yes. He grabbed all my money. How about the bad habits? Are they going overboard on the good ship New Year? Dick Hanson says that this giving business should come from the heart. Don't give because it's a timely thing to do; or because you can afford it, or for the reason that you expect something in return. Give, that you may share the joy of the gift. Not what we give, but what we share; for the gift without the giver js bare. ' Don't leave the price tag on the thing You buy for her; Although it be a coat of plush, Or muff of fur. Or should it be of precious jewels, ' it she may keep; Don't leave the price tag on the gift It looks too cheap. Ben Allison says he's expecting the customary box of cigars for laying lay-ing off on the weed since Labor day. And they are dandies', which - the wife binds with silk ribbons, festooned fes-tooned and rosetted. Ben says that they don't taste like a half hour in Havana, and that his friends are brief in their greetings when he has one in his mouth. If friend wife buys a box of smokes, That make you feel like leavin', Just hand them to your enemies; A good way to get even. We're for the school-marms from primer to trigometry because thev render a valuable service to any community. com-munity. They teach our children from text books part oi he day; but most of the time, from the ritual of decency. Example is better than precept pre-cept and the teacher often has a more salutary effect on some of those who sit before her. than they receive at home. Much character is made in the school room. The benefit of an education is great; but the influ ence of a noble teacher's radiant personality per-sonality is greater. Unaware, the child is moulded for service. It Is clay in the potter's hands during that period which Is reserved for Instruction. Instruc-tion. Since influenza has made such inroads in-roads among us, and the high school is being used as a hospital, our teachers tea-chers have volunteered their services, servi-ces, and are now engaged in chari- I table ministration to the afflicted. I They deserve our praise and gratitude grati-tude for their ready and sympathetic j response to a crying need: and may they feel the joy of their devotion to so sublime a cause, may amply compensate com-pensate them for the sacrifice, espec- ! lally at this happy season of the year. Their gift has no purchase price. Miss Sims, fashion-plate, style setter, set-ter, the queenly attired one. has left Milford and will make her future home in Salt Lake. We regret the departure of this little lady, who afforded af-forded us congenial moments of leisure, leis-ure, and this sentiment is confirmed by others who knew her and admired ad-mired her manv delitrhtful qualities. I May wa hope to find her among us again after the holidays, is the sincere sin-cere wish . of those friends to whom, she became endeared. Tom Cleary knows pretty much this side of the globe, not from an attentive study of geography, but through the . window of a long and varied experience. He was reared in New York City, and left there while still in his callow years, to seek .a fortune in the unfrequented places out of doors. His journey afoot through Alaska, bristles with interest, and calls ' to mind the stories stor-ies we have read of the far North. Imagine yourself isolated in that dreary land on Christmas Eve, a desolation des-olation of snow and ice all around you for thousands of miles, profound silence that oppresses, and you can appreciate this man's holiday experiences exper-iences under a dark roof spangled with glittering stars. Too - much, Tom, for one who has annually enjoyed en-joyed the Christmas cheer of home since his childhood, a cheer that was not always embroidered with a fretwork fret-work of frost on the window; or made merrier by the jingle of sleigh-bells sleigh-bells on the street. Give me a bed to lie on, Secure from winds that blow; And not the arctic silence, With twenty feet of snow. W.S.S. CHRISTMAS BABY Katherine Hanks! We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New-Year, New-Year, because you have made every day throughout the year a happy one for us. Tired with toil, vexed by problems that elude temporary solution, sober with responsibilities, we enter the sanctuary of your presence, and a holy calm is ours. Then in a twinkling, twink-ling, we cast off the mask of . care, and pleasure invades the dark chambers cham-bers of our hearts and makes them echo with merriment. No tonic can soothe the tired nerves ner-ves of business like that magic smile that is your divine possession. .We awaken from the stupor of fatigue fa-tigue and, as it were, you throw back the curtains and let in a flood of sunlight sun-light morning sunlight which touches touch-es our drowsy lids with its balsamic warmth. Christmas shall be the sweeter for I your presence among us. little Cherub; Cher-ub; you. the the celestial glow of hap-j piness that is a cheerful leaven in our ! very existence. j Dear little baby. Dimpling and bright; Cooing and crowing. Morning 'till night !! of us lpve you Really, we do; i Couldn't help loving Baby like you. 1 Heaven is shining Far from the earth ; You draw it closer. Cherub of mirth Each day Is joyous, All the round year; Each day is Christmas 1 When you are near. |
