Mrs. C. J. Meyrs, a member of the and who had county committee charge of the drive in Salina, was ably assisted by Miss Leah Brown, Mrs. Dan Freece, Mfs. Chestena Bench, Mrs. Ellis Steele, Miss Hilma Madsen, Mrs. Frank Jackson, Mrs. D C. Merrill, Mis. M. I. Overson, Mis June and Mrs. C. J. Meyrs. This committee made a thorough canvas of the city and the net results were the sale of seals amounting to $65 14. M. I. Overson had charge of the sale of the seals in the public schools and the students responded nobly, the sale bringing $30.00. This amount was taken out in bonds which the students will have framed, and placed in the school room. Mr. Meyers, acting as chairman for the high school, and with the aid of the faculty, made sales amounting to $10.00, bringing the total of the dripc in Salina up to $105.14. fl ill! Witt!: Mil In the Spirit of Christmas m m DAY brings us the consciousness that "jHRISTMAS personal animosities may be, whatever the strife between nations merely neighborhood quarrels greatly magnified there is this sublime occasion devoted to peace and goodwill. Its spirit is the lamp which lights to higher life; its influence largely supports civilization and prevents a lapse into barbarity. A Mi Christmas spirit means Christian spirit. In testing its effect, one has only to reflect upon the positions of races, the most advanced being those of Christendom. China, the oldest entity among peoples, has an admirable occasion upon which the citizens strive to liquidate all their debts. It is a national pay-u- p day, and in spirit somewhat resembles our Christmas. In Japan they have an annual event somewhat like our New Years celebration, during which the people go about expressing good will and promoting good cheer. But Christmas has a more elevating effect than either, in that it not only typifies peace and good will, but carries the essence of unselfishness and pure love, the most common expression being the bestowal of gifts. When the Christmas influence gains to the point that its spirit shall permeate the affairs of every day in the year, the millennium will have arrived. in LOCAL ITEMS OF INTEREST.

In the making of a newspaper we have an opportunity to view the many forces operating upon the character of humanity. We see the good and had, the sincere and insincere, the selfish and unselfish. We believe the leaven of good is more active than that of the opposed forces. If we have been able to assist the right, much has been and we earnestly solicit a condue to your tinuation of the same.
