With a typical American wartime
spirit, the people of the nation have
started to manufacture many of
their own Christmas toys.
For Instance, in those shops where
bits of wood are left from repair
work, such lumber remnants can
be used for the building of toys.
Smoothly sawed off pieces make fine
building blocks.
Spools and wooden cigar boxes
come in for use as toys, too. The
boxes can be made into trains, and
spools can be used as wheels for
them. Spools can even be strung
together for beads, or lined up for
imitation trains to be drawn along '
the floor by the baby.

Christmas?"
About ten years ago, in Ishpe-
ming, Mich., timber haulers were on
their way to a mine to put up
some trussing, found a small Christ-
mas tree on the side of the road
which had probably fallen from a
truck.
One of the men picked up the tree
and threw it on top of the timber.
At the mine the tree was sent down
1,300 feet into the mine. One of the
miners picked it up, put it on the
side of the passageway. At lunch
time some of the miners decorated
the tree with bits of paper from
their lunch kits.
"Let’s do this every year,” one
of them suggested.
Since then a small Christmas tree
is set up in that Michigan mine pas-
sageway. And not only the miners,
but their guests, gather 'round the
tree at 6 a. m., exchange gifts and
indulge in small talk for about a
half hour before starting their shift.
fFF DO!
Mr. and Mrs. W. V. Barbe.- at-
tended the funeral of a relative
in Wichita Falls Sunday.
In the excitement of a busy holiday season,
we trust that you will stop long enough to accept
our GREETINGS OE THE SEASON. Our own
Christmas would be incomplete if we did not take
advantage of the opportunity to wish you all the
good things we can think of. You have been con-
siderate of us in the past, and we trust that we
may continue to merit your patronage in the
future. _ Vifel
As the ties of friendships are strength-
ened by the Christinas occasion, so may
our business associations continue to
grow in mutual accord and confidence in
the years to come.
It’s been pleasant serving you in the
past and we will do everything possible
to merit your confidence in the future.
And, we hope, brinos with him an abun-
dance of good things for our loyal friends
and customers.
You have been good to us ond in return
we extend our kindest wishes to you, one
and all.
Photographic Christmas greeting
i cards have been gaining in popular!-
' ty during the past few years.
The possibilities are widespread
as far as the kind or type you would
wish to send. There can be group
pictures, individual pictures, humor-
ous ones, big and small types.
Even the greeting itself can be In-
cluded with the picture of the per-
son or persons through the use of
a large printed card. Humor hi in-
jected into the cards by having a
Santa Claus drawn on a large back-
ground, with a hole left in the spot
where the face should be. Any
young member of the family need
but put his head in through the
hole for the finished effect
If you are not a good photogra-
' pher, or have doubts as to whether
you could take such a suitable pic-
| ture, you should know at least three
I or four persons who are willing to
| take the picture for you.

Calculation of the Christian era is
usually credited to Dionysius Exi-
geus tn the Sixth century. However,
he was somewhat in error, as it Is
believed Jesus was born before what
was January 1, in A. D. 1. The
phrase Anno Domini (year of our
I Lord), of which A. D. is the ab-
breviation, was believed to have
been first used in 1219.
