| Mil 7 HERE are many reasons why we should 1
1 JJ remember Christmas Day. Christmas ex- 1
1 alts the home and glorifies the family life. 1
| It helps to make strong the ties of kinship. |
1 Christmas away from home is not much |
| Chrismas at all. It needs mother and §
1 father and children—family groups to j
| transfigure and glorify the' Christmas. |
IF the spirit of Christmas was with us every day, it
__ would revolutionize civilization. Selfishness would H
die a death of starvation. Avarice would be hanged
as high as Haman; foolish pride would go down in
defeat; class animosities would be drowned in a sea
of brotherhood. Peace on earth would become a
_ glorious reality.
AT this Christmas time we are wishing for you, your
children and loved ones, not one Christmas Day only,
H but a whole yeair full of days guided and inspired by M
the spirit of Christmas.

Your friends,

McGrath Employes Given Handsome
Remembrances.
A representative of The Leader
\va3 privileged to be present at a
meeting of the McGrath employes
Thursday night after closing hours,
and to witness a scene impressively
sweet and sacred—a touching dem
onstration of love and loyalty be
tween employer and employe. To
Jay McGrath, as head of the Mc
Grath concern, fell the happy lot of
giving to every employe of the es
tablishment a Christmas gift in the
shape of a check for an extra week's
salarw
MrJ McGrath realized, as never be
fore.jlhat it is indeed more blessed
to gtv#~than to receive, for in the
giving of those tangible tokens of
the firm’s appreciation of the loyal
service rendered by the employes,
Mr. McGrath garnered a harvest of
i happiness and joy beyond words.
The spirit in which the gifts were
given, the beautiful talk made by
Mr. McGrath and the words of hope
and promise for a still closer
bond of friendship in the future, bo
filled the hearts and minds of every
employe that the material part of
the ceremony was utterly overshad
owed.
The attempted thanks of the em
ployes gripped the heart, misted the
eye and tightened the throat. Their
very stammerings and stutterings
made them more eloquent than the
most polished oratory.
No Leader next Wednesday. Don’t
complain when you miss it. Our
force desires a little relaxation after
a year of most arduous application
to unremitting activities on the in
side of the office that the uninitiated
outside knows very little about.
King’s Daughters Elect Officers.
The following officers were elect
ed by the King’s Daughters at their
meeting Wednesday afternoon: —
Leader, Mrs. Ira L. Parsons; vice
leader, Mrs. Henry Flowers; record
ing secretary, Mrs. S. J. Hoskins;
corresponding secretary, Mrs. S. N.
Alford; treasurer, Mrs. J. L. Wood
ward.
Members of the Hospital Board
were retained, as follows: Mrs. H.
V. Wall, Mrs. Mary L. Flippen, Mrs.
E. M. Bee, Mrs. Frank Hartman.
Mr. L. J. Laird, who is still suf
fering from an Injury to his- arm,
received in a fall, being unable yet
to use that member, says his inca
pacity in that line does not interfere
with his ability to sell Studebaker
cars. “Really,” Mr. Laird states, “a
man with one arm could sell Stud
ebakers.” ;
I
JN grateful appreciation of
M your good will and patron
age I extend to you the
season’s greetings and wish
for you one and all a Merry . *
Christmas and a Happy and
Prosperous New Year.

ent of the school, presided.
Twenty four numbers were given.
There were piano solos, duets ana
trios, and numerous vocal solos and
quartettes. Several choruses and a
double mixed quartette were espec

one of the teachers, gave a delight
ful reading. Mr. Mayfield, another
of the teacherB, took part with the
students in several of the vocal
numbers.- About thirty-five partici
pated in the program.
The large number of older boys
of the school who gave highly cred
itable renditions of songs, was nota
ble. The pianists represented pri
mary, grammar and high school
grades. The performances were re
ceived with much interest and ap
plause was enthusiastic.
Contests for a coverlet and a box

munity.
