Rev. W. W. Smith, P*str
This Christmas has been well spent
in program and good cheer all ol
which ought to inspire us to nobler
living.
We shall be specially favored next
Sunday morning by music given by
the Christianson Orchestra. Shall
we not give them a good hearing.
Subject of sermon, "Pressing to
ward the Prize.''
Evening subject, "The Lost Christ"
This is very important subject and
we hope you will make every effort to
come and listen to it.
CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
May we suggest that it might be a
very fine and fitting way to finish up
the year 1922 by attending the ser
vices of the Church next Sunday
morning and evening. It might serve
to prepare u. t0 live better and do
better during the year 1923.
We invite you to attend the morn
ing hour of worship. The pastor
expects to speak upon the theme "Do
ing the Impossible." The choir will
render several selections.
The Sunday school session will
follow the morning worship. We
believe you will enjoy the hour in
Sabbath school and we shall be de
lighted" to have you with us.
The evening hour will be one of
sueoial interest. The Christianson
family have consented to play for us
at that service. It is something quite
unusuai to find a father and his six
children constituting an orchestra,
and we are exceedingly fortunate in
having such a talented family in our
community. The orchestra will fur
nish the greater part of the program
of the evening. The following are
the names of the respective members
of the orchestra, and the instrument
upon which each will play.
Lief Christianson First Violin
George Christianson Second Violin
Sverre Christianson Viola
Rolf Christianson Cello
Gunder Christianson Cornet
Sigrid Christianson Piano
W. O. Christianson Bass Viol
The orchestra will render varied
program, including solos, duets etc.
upon the various instruments.
The choir will render one or two
vocal selections and the pastor will
give a brief talk.
Don't miss this musical treat. It
may be some time before such an
opportunity presents itself again.
GEO. R. HULL, Pastor
The Community Christmas tree
was held at the opera house Satur
day evening. A splendid program
had been arranged and was greatly
nnjoyed by the large crowd present.
The hall was artistically decorated
and two splendid Christmas trees
lighted with colored lights and trim
med appropriately added greatly to
'he stage setting. At the close of the
program, boxes of candy and nuts
were passed out to the children.

TO *EE HOW
IT WORKS
HOPE HIGH BREAKS EVEN
WITH FINLEY
In a rough but exciting game, the
local girls team went down to deal'oat
before the Finley High School girls
team to a count of 8 to 0. Only
three quarters were played due to
the fact that only sufficient time was
left for the boys to play 'fend catch
the train. The remaining quarter if
played would have undoubtably
raised the Hope score above the zero
mark, inability of our girls to hit the
basket when points counted and the
rough game was responsible for their
defeat. Three personal fouls were
called against the Hope girls and one
against Finley.
The local boys avenged the girls
defeat and took the Finley boys into
camp with a score of 24 to 14. Thi3
game as well, although spectacular
at times, was marred with consider
able roughness and ragged playing.
The locals showed flashes of their
real form only at times due to the
small floor. Nine personal fouls were
called against the locall team, no
technicals. Two personal fouls were
against the Finley team, five techni
cals. (Technicals do not allow free
throws) Enuf. said.
Capt. McCullough, Lunding, Smith
Fuller, and Bjorklund started the
game. Wood substituted for Fuller
in the first half. Smith went out of
the game in the second half on per
onal fouls, Bjorklund taking center
and Fuller taking Bjorklund's place.

evidence of their playing ability, the
first game ou our home floor this
season ought to be a fast one. This
is the first time in years that Tower
City has played us here so let us
show them the Hope spirit by a full
house and solid support for the local
team.
Sharon comes here on Jan. 5th.
They need no introduction. The
games were evened up last year, the
local squad losing to Sharon at Shar
on by one point and winning by a
good margin on our own floor. This
year we are^Rut to avenge the de
feat that we received from them and
try to take both games. Hope ha
not lost a game to outside High
School teams on the home floor for
many years. Help us keep up this
reputation. Both of these games will
be played in the evening. The games
are called at 8 P. M. Admission 25
and 35c.
The local squad has been putting
in most of their time since the Far
go game on fundamentals and other
defects which came to light during
that game. Signal practice and pol
ishing off on fundamentals will begin
after the Christmas vacation and then
the squad will be ready for the heavy
schedule ahead of them. Monday
night is an open night to all who
care to watch the boys practice. If
you are a Hope High Booster, get
out on every Monday night and show
the boys that you are behind them.

New Year's statement and resume of
agriculture conditions and pros
pects from Secrt*ry of Agri
culture Wall^e
Twelve months ago most of the
six million farmers of the United
States were starting on the' long
hard climb out of the valley of econo
mic depression. They have not yet
attained the heights which are bathed
in the grateful sunshine of prosper
ity. Some, indeed, have fallen by the
way. Others are still in the valley.
Nevertheless, as we stop a bit and
look backward we can seethat very
considerable ground has been gained
by the great majority, and we can
enter the New Year with renewed
hope and with that courage which
comes from the realization that we
are really making progress.
A year ago, when speaking of the
prospects for farming 1922, I said
that while there was no reason to
expect boom times for the farmer in
the near future, there was promise
of better times, both for the f&rmer
and for those whose business is large*
ly dependent upon him. The year
has brought fulfillment of that prom
ise. Speaking generally, times are
better, much better, than a year ago,
both for agriculture and for indust
ry.
Crops have been good, on the whole
Prices of the major crops are mostly
considerably higher. While there
has been a corresponding advance in
the price of the things the famer
must buy, the total sum which farm
ers will receive for the crops of this
year is greater by a billion and a
half dollars or more than that which
they received for the crops of last
year. This will certainly mean better
times on the farm, and farm folks
will be able to ease up a little on the
grinding economy they were forced
to practice the preceding year.
The labor cost of producing the
crops of 1922 was still further re
duced. There were some substantial
reductions
i-.f
:M
freight rates. Much
helpful legislation has been enacted
and more will be this winter. Inter
est rates are lower and the credit
strain has been eased. This has made
it possible for many farmers who
were rather heavily involved to re
fund their obligations and get them
selves in condition to win through.
There are still some dark spots.
In some sections weather conditions
were unfavorable and crops were
short, and farmers in these sections
are having a very hard time of it.
Freight rates are still too high,
especially tor those who must pay
for a long haul to market.
Taxes are high, but this is largely
due to the increase in local taxes,
over which farmers themselves must
exercise control.
There has been gratifying growth
in! farmers' cooperative marketing
associations, and more of them "are
being organized on a sound business
basis.
Aside from the help which has
been given by legislation and by ad
ministration activities, strong econ
omic forces are at work to restore a
more normal relation between agri
culture and other industries.
The peril in the agricultural de
pression is more keenly realized by
other groups than ever before, and on
every hand a sincere desire is being
evidenced to do what can be done
safely to help the farmer better his
condition.
Everything considered, we have
good reason to expect still better
things for agriculture in the year
1923.
