First of course is the Christmas season with glad tidings and good cheer in cpmmeration with the birth of the Christ Child, Hecond—-the Birth of a new year, New Year's, a year we all look forward to with good health and prosperity. Just preceeding these two important events is another birthtjay—-another year added to the Jong history of the Herald that has served this community since 1877, Last week the Herald entered its fifty-first year, having completed a serv­ ice of half a century. Twenty-seven years of that time the Herald has been under the present management. At this Holiday season we like to think of our readers and customers as our friends and that our success is but a, reflec­ tion of theirs. So may we extend greetings for a Merry Christ­ mas and Happy New Year with the sincere hope that the com­ ing year will bring you greater prosperity and happiness than ever before. IVy KKV, P.

Wuaw Hwwwer U*te»-> Lotson for December 2 $ CHRISTMAS LESSON HE IS AMERICA'S BETTER SELF There he is, that fine boy of ours, bridging the imagination of men and making neighbors out of strangers. When Charles A, Lindbergh-—never mind hia title I—dropped down into Mexico City he was the great mass of the American people, friendly, brave at heart* and wistful for the fine things that high character make possible. How small things seem, the disputes and squabbles, the ..petty misunderstandings^ when nobility wings its way from capital to capital and sheds the spirit of frankness and good­ will with the blush, of modest youthfulness ! * Mexico today is*not looking at grasping exploiters; i t has no mind for suspicions of foreign penetration; it is writing no notes, shooting no, rebels; it is gazing with the enthusiasm which is all the world's, common emotion a t - a boy whose destiny seems to be irrevocably set fro the task of international friendship. What does it mean’ to the Mexican people to share this gesture of deathless courage,and personal worth t What does it mean to the American people to receive again ancf° again the reassurance that the thing that stirs it most deeply and everlastingly is something that hot the vastest fortune can pur­ chase nor the most glittering of fame can tarnish? This is the burden of faith and destiny the boy carries in that slim plane of his. He is America's better self. The prayers of the nation are ever With him. —Detroit News SPRING:FOOTBALL TRAINING 'V Two years ago the Ohio Conference Managers’ association abolished spring football training in the colleges over which it has jurisdiction. The step'at that time Wassailed as.a great improvement over the old System which, it was maintained* tended strongly to commercialize the game and demoralize the scholastic chances of the player., Recently the rule was re­ scinded. After two years bf trail* the action Was taken because of the disadvantages i t placed upon colleges which have all-day academic schedules and which consequently allowed no time for football before 4 :30 or 5 o’clock in the afternoon. This made the development of a team early in the season a most difficult task ; college® which had good teams in the making o ffe red Atd,«at» from teams of other schools, under no such SfcadJwfimMt wjfeacn under riraUar conditions, results probably would have been reversed. To wini/at football and all other games is a college ob­ jective. Some of the older heads; notably faculty members* may be content with “moral” victories and the low end of the score. But the student and the active graduate are not so easily pleased. He wants the team to win and if he is on the team he plays to win. The moral end of it he leaves to the vanquished* if he can. - ' Spring training in itself is not to be condemned if held within reasonable bounds. College men play baseball and tennis at that time of the year and send their teams into com­ petition with those of other schools without a thought of games being overplayed and overdone. If they can take the time from their studies to play these games, surely football men can practice, even’if they will not be called upon to play the game until the following fall— Dayton Herald.

This is the message that is ringing round the -world this Yuletide season. Once more we are about to celebrate’ the most joyous day bf all the year—the day of glad greetings—the day of generous giving— the day of family reunions—the day when our hearts are overflowing with “good will" to all. * Some way the song of the angelic choir never grows old; its thrill is felt as keenly as for the past 2,000 years. We turn as eagerly to the holly and the carols, the chimes and all that goes with Christmas as did our forefathers. ‘'Peace on earth, goodwill to men,” which has rung down through the ages, has lost none of its appeal. This spirit of Christmas is a Very real thing. I t is impossible to destroy a spirit—its outward form may change but that spirit of love which came info the world on the first Christmas day is eternal and finds expression in loving thoughts and deeds. There are skeptics who tell us that Santa Claus is a myth, that the S'jhg of the angels is a poetic fancy, that the entire beautiful story of the nativity of Christ is legendary. If but a fancy, then what a beautiful, ennobling fancy1And howit has persisted and made humanity better ahd happier! When the'child becomes a man “and puts away childish things,” he wakes to the realisation that there is a real Christmas spirit, of which Santa Claus, with kind thoughts for everyone, is. hut a symbol and tat that spirit is inmortal. .Second only to that first Christmas carol sung by the angels of Bethlehem centuries ago is Dickens's Christmas story, dedicated to all human-kind. He transformed the day from a metaphysical mys­ tery into a feast of love, overflowing with simple kindness and good cheer. I.ove shines through all its pages, love not limited to our own kith and kin, nor oar own “set,” but including all humanity. Dickens invested his poor and humble folk with a dignity and grace that competl* the respect and sympathy of the reader and bring the realisation of the littleness of externals. As long as the English language lives* Dickens's “Christinas Carol will b# read and enjoyed by those who <*n see past material things that are full, ennobling fancy* And how it has persisted and made humanity better and happier! How nerdid We would all become did we not have our “voices," otlr “guiding stars," our ideals to lift us above the stress and strain of life and inspire us to nobler living. 1, The Birth of Jeeu* ( vt . 3.-7). 1 . Jesus’ birth foretold (Mlc, fi:2). Only a little while before the ful­ fillment of this prophecy which was made some seven hundred years be­ fore, there seemed little likelihood that Ktleah’s words would come true, Jesus’ mother was miles away from Bethlehem in Galilee. God moved the emperor to enforce the decree of tax­ ation which brought Mary to the vil­ lage at the proper time. 2. Jesus’ birth announced to Mary and Joseph (Luke 1:20-38). *- Gabriel, the archangel, sent by God to the little town of Nazareth to Mary, a Jewish maiden who was betrothed to a carpenter In the village by the. name of Joseph, solemnly announced that she should give birth to the Mes­ siah and that this sou should not he Joseph's, but tile child-of the Holy Ghost (Mdtt. 1 : 18 - 21 ). Later the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph also, making to him the same an­ nouncement and added that the ehlld should be called Jesus, which means that Jehovah, will save His people from- their sins (Matt. 1:21). The prediction fulfilled (V. 7). This took place at a most opportune time. It occurred when all systems of religion and Immoral Worship were tottering upon their foundations, therefore most suitable for the Intro-' Unction of the gospel. The whole ‘world being under the power of the Romans who then ruled it, made it possible for Christ’s ministers to go from city to City and country to coun­ try unmolested. We can be<„assnred that the Almighty rules-In the whole universe and is never tardy -In His administrations. - * Hi .Jesus Birth Announced to the Shepherds (vv, 8*14). . 1, To whom (v. 8). Jesus’ birth was announced to the’- shepherds who were keeping watch over their flocks by night. The fact that' the glorious message 'was first sounded forth to them shows that poverty is no barrier to its reception. Their humble station in Ufa and their being busy with common duties did not prevent them from heating tide gtarfeus Wmsange from CM. .tfoee* Gfaeop, Amos and Elisha were afl caned of God from the activities of life. He never calls lazy people. 2, By-whom (v. 9). 'The first gospel sermon was preached by an angel of the Lord. We thus see them Interested lumen and havihg part in the announcement • of God’s plan for their salvation. No doubt -the. angelic beings earnestly sympathized with fallen, sin-cursed .man,' ■■■ 8. Tlie nature of the message (w. 10, ll). It was good tidings of great JOy. it was good tidings because the dark­ ness of heathendom, which had so long covered the earth* was beginning to vanish. The casting out of Satan, the prince, of this world, was about to take place. Llherty was soon to be proclaimed to those who were- In bondage. Tim way of salvation was to be open to all. No 'longer was the ;t I knowledge of God to be confined to the Jews, but ottered to the whole world. Truly this was glorious news; so glorious that a multitude of the heavenly host accompanied this an­ nouncement with their song of praise, III. Th* Shepherds Investigating (W. IB, 10), *- They did not stop to argue or raise questions, though these things were* no doubt, passing strange to them. They went Immediately to Bethlehem,- Where they found everything just as represented. They had the privilege | ; of first gazing upon the world’s Sa­ ji | vlor, the very Lord of Gtory. They I returned with gratitude In their I ; hearts, praising God for all these won. | « derful thfngs which He had revealed I ! unto them, IV. Th* Shepherds’ Witnessing (vv. 17-20). They found things as announced by the angels. When they beheld the Lord of Glory they could not remain silent, therefore went back praising God. Those who really hear the gos* pel message cannot be"silent. Those win) really hear the gospel must tell it mu to others. si II li Trials That Never Come , For every trial that God sends. He gives rufllelent sr.-ice to bear It, but He promises no cnm» to bear aftticl patioti with, and we little know how lorg* a portion of our mental suffer­ ing fttireh from trials that never come. -■Kviitjaciii-iii Tidings, I I An U a^ o l’ablc Life The os-rib lift, Hi! -!i is not passed f!i*-» - .

OHIOFARMERS SET BEST PRICES Ohio farmers , are receiving the highest prices for their products paid fa the corn belt or fa any other pro­ ducing section of Importance, accord­ ing to q. J . West, state and Federal statistician of the Ohio agricultural experiment station. , This favorable situation is explain­ ed in part by the fact that Ohio farm­ ers are near industrial centers from which food consumption is heaviest, Mr, West said. Ohio, corn prices, November IB, averaged 8tf cents a bushel at the farm, as compared with 69 cents for Iowa and 18 cents for Illinois, Mr. West said. The average for the en­ tire United States was .74 dents a bushel. - Wheat was returning Ohio growers 91.25 a boahel, as compared with a national aVisage of $1.11. Hog* w*bt‘ 19,49, which was 20 cents above the next highest aver­ age, and eluents above the average, for tint United States. ' 4 The Ohio"butter fa t price 'was ,47 cent, November 15. This is the high­ est price, dsSBde states with * spe­ cialised dfhT Industry, as In Wiscon­ sin and Mhfaesota. But -in those dairy staifil pm price average was only two casts above Ohio’s. The price for djfcfir cows is virtually the same as til ^pconsin 'and at least 10 percent afcmf other strictly com belt ’ 'r state. The mttagratfo at the Ohio farm is $jtofa\wPte| 5 jjKS-etf usHts above- the average for any other state of the' same latitude, though not quite up to the average f o r . the more northern com belt states. Buckwheat prices are reported at 83 cents, which la the highest ex­ cept in New England states. The Ohio average potato price, the middle of November, was reported to be |120 a bushel, which is the same as was reported for Missouri and the highest average of th* com belt. Hay is virtually tire only important farm, product for which Ohio farmers are at a priet disadvantage. Timothy hay is |2 under Indian* and 92.60 lest than Illinois. For alfalfa the dif­ ference is net so marked, but for all classes, Ohio hay prices are lower than for other states. The average price for beef cattle is lower, but, according to Mr. West, these price* hardly are comparable because Ohio sell* so many cows from the dairy bends. The.average egg price »t the farm, 47 cents a desen, is five cents above the average for the entire country and 11 cents above Missouri, Poultry prices averaged nearly 20 cents ft pound in Ohio as compared with Iowa’s 18, and a com belt aver­ age of 18. Ohio wools averaged at the top for all states with 38 cents reported by the bureau of Agriculture’ economics. The com belt average was 36 cents. The western average wool price was 29 cents. . FINGBKS AMPUTATED Amputation of the ends of the sec­ ond and third fingers of the left hand of Judge Marcus Shoup, was found necessary after they were crushed in an automobile door which was ac- cidentf.’ly slammed shut against by his daughter, Mrs. Robert A. Kelly, at his home on East Main street. Judge Shoup was leaving the car at the time of the accident.
