I'rlnees and potentates kings and emperors, eonquerors and rulers, great captains In war and great statesmen In peace, orators and learned men In the arts and sciences all have enjoyed their hour of fame and for some of them history has preserved at best but one eventful moment In their careers. But there Is one event In history which stands out above all others, for all their pomp and circumstance and all the panoply and pageantry that attends the scenes which men call great events. II took place In humble surroundings a stable in a little town in Palestine. It was the birth of a child who was destined to give to the world a new religion and to humanity a new hope. And this event which we celebrate on Decern ber 25 has been the Inspiration for the greatest painters of all time who, lnstend of recording the deeds end triumphs of captains and kings, have chosen to delineate this greatest of all events. The Nativity, and those figures of greatest appeal to all mankind, the Madonna and Child. Poets too, have found In the birth of Christ a theme for their genius. Long ago "rare Ben Jonson" sang this: HYMN ON THE NATIVITY OF MY SAVIOUR V I sing the birth was born The author both of life and light; The angels ao did sound It. And like the ravlsh'd shepherds said. Who saw the light and were afraid, Tet searched, and true they found It The Son of Ood, the Eternal King, That did us all salvation bring. And freed the soul from danger; He whom the whole world could not take, The World, which heaven and earth did make Was now laid In a manger. But peaceful was the night Wherein the Prince of Light His reign of peace upon the earth began: The winds with wonder whist. Smoothly the waters kist, Whispering new joys to the mild ocean, Who now hath quite forgot to rave. While birds of calm sit brooding on the charmei wave. XIII Ring out, ye crystal spheres, Once bless our human ears, If ye have power to touch our senses so; And let your silver chime Move in melodius time; And let the bass of heaven's deep organ blow; And, with your ninefold harmony, Make up full consort to the angelic symphony. XXVII But see, the Virgin blest Hath laid her Babe to rest: Time is, our tedious song should here have TME HYMN OF CHRIST'S NATIVITY I It was the winter wild. Child While the heaven-bor- n All meanly wrapt in the rude manger lies; Nature, In awe to Him, Bad doff'd her gaudy trim, With her great Master so to sympathize: It was no season then for her To wanton with the sun, her lusty paramour. end- ing: star Heaven's youngest-teeme- d Hath fix d her polish'd car. Her sleeping Lord with handmaid lamp attending, And all about the courtly stable angels sit in order serviceable. 'd This ancient theme which is ever new has In spired modern poets, too.

Sleep, little one These are but a few of the many poetic expres slons of the "wondrous story." There have been others in other forms of writing but of them all none can compare with the matchless prose of one of the earlicyt accounts of The Nativrty. It Is told in the Gospel of St. Luke thus: 1. And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed 2. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenlus was Governor of Syria). J. And all went to be taxed, every one tnto his own c.ty. 4. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into judea, unto the of David, which is called Bethlehem, (because city he was cf the house and lineage of David,) 6 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife being gieat with child. 6. And so it was, that, while they were there the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7. And she brought forth and wrapped him in swaddlinghjrclothes, and son, laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them In the Inn. 8. And there wers in the same country Rhepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their floik by night. 9 And. lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them and the glory of the Lord shone round about and them; they were sore afraid. 10. And the angel said unto them. Fear not- for behold, 1 bring you gool tidings of great lov' which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day, In the David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord city of 12 And this shall be a sipn unto you: Ye shall find the babo wrapped in swaddling clothes Ivine in a manger. 13.

About $7,000 additional will be placed to the disposal of the state road commission for other work during the coming season. County Commissioner H. L. Adams, Lymah Sevy and Evan Williams, headed the delegation. PROVO Approximately 1000 large mouth black bass fingerlings from three to five inches in length were transferred from the expert- mental pond of the Provo chapter of the Izaak Walton league to Utah lake by members of the chapter, recently. More than 8000 of the fish are still In the pond and will be transferred at a later date, while the original fish first planted will be left, according to Mark Anderson, director and sponsor of the project. LAYTON A coming slump in ezg laying of early hatched pullets can be detected by watching the amount of feed consumed, warns the poultry department at Cornell university. A flock rf 1000 Leghorn pullets laying 50 per cent must eat from 24 to 25 pounds of grain and mash daily. A decline of only two pounds of feed from the necessary amount that should be eaten of 100 birds is enough to cause a falling off of egg production. VERNAL Trappers In the Uintah mcuntains and on the desert are reporting good catches of coyotes, bobcat- - and Coyotes are numerous this winter, both in deserts and on the slopes of the mountains, with pelts prime and bringing from $10 to $20 each. All the trappers in Utah and Colorado east aside the bounty offers of the states, because if bounties are taken the pelts go to the states. This state of affairs would entail loss to the trappers who accept bounties, as the awards do not measure up to the prices receivsd In "regard to the Christina problem there's this In favor oHJ cusnions, no. mauer roo may possess "there's always V " Villi IUVIV--. j tTAltrat fa nrovillE ft W i "dHfcw 1 splration.
