KlNHETH I. fQUEMAX 'Editorial MERRY CHRISTMAS! The Herald wishes for all its large family o f readers^ and friends a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and prosperous New Year. Living in your community and being your friends and try­ ing to serve you, make our lot very pleasant. Holiday atmos­ phere is joyous. The symbols of the season are everywhere. We hope you are all happy—very happy. CHRISTMAS SPIRIT This the Christmas season— the time of peace and good will and of giving. .People, young and old, are happy. The explanation is simple. It is universal that true happiness comes only from giving* and that _ all _ getting, properly viewed, is giving. It sounds paradoxical, hut there is every evidence that only those who give, receive. The principle affects every phase of life— busi­ ness, home, church, citizenship. Wise people apply the spirit o f giving—the Christmas spirit— to every act every day of the year. Nothing is more practical. ^ SATURDAY HOLIDAY The two seasonal holidays, Christmas and New Years, both fall on Saturday. Retail business considers Saturday the busiest day o f the week, as a usual thing. Closing for Christmas, on Sat­ urday, means doubling up on the preceding days, with a carry­ over for the early part o f the week that follows. School pupils will miss the usual vacation from school on Christmas day. Coming as it does on Saturday, there would have been no school any­ how. But it provides a two-day vacation twice in a fortnight, and that pleases everybody. May it be a time of joy to all of us. EVER HEAR THIS? I don’t think I’ll send them one this year; they didn’t send us one last year. Revising the Christmas greeting-card mailing list! Some folks scoff at the practice o f sending cards. Others see in it an opportunity of bind­ ing friendship closer, and the world needs more and better friends than anything. A sug­ gestion: Sit down, leisurely, and read the cards you get, imagin­ ing you are visiting with the senders. And don’t hurry. It will he a happy hour. BEWARE ACCIDENTS The holiday season, the hap­ piest o f the year, takes heavy accident toll. Highway mishaps are numerous. Accidents in the home lead the list:—Christmas tree fires, toppled-over candles, falls from ladders and chairs by decorators, burns, rug-trippings —the list is long and varied. Warning-—Don’t mar the happy season by carlessness. Make this not only a cheery Christmas, but a safe one. A HEALTHY SIGN Sunday saw folks in this com­ munity going to church in large numbers. It was a wintry morn­ ing, too. Snow had fallen through the night, and lay to a depth of several inches. But the people welcomed it, and their plans to go to church were not affected by the snowfall. It’s a healthy sign in any community when the people go to church. THE JACK POT Wilberforce State basketball team hit the jack pot in the game with Alabama State. The neighboring basketeers scored an even 100 points, to the opponents’ 52. Years come and go, teams win and lose and scores are made and forgotten, but this one will he remembered. A score is rounds numbers, but it’s harder on the score keeper than the players. Not only is a score like that a miracle, hut having it an even 100 is fantastic. Wilberforce far, and this game left them State has won all its games 'so figures to spare. MR. & MRS. HUSH— Somebody ought to whisper to Procter & Gamble and Ralph Ed- dards, one o f their mike outlets, that it’s shush on Hush from here on out. A brick-carrier in a town near Chicago won the last jack­ pot of around $25,000 in prizes fo r identifying Veloz and Yo­ landa, a dancing team, as the Hushes. Chances are that nobody else among the 150 million folks in the country knew them. The most contented lot in life is one that has a house on it. „ Isn’t it funny how well you get along after missing a favor­ ite radio program? India bans the fade-ont kiss In movies.

Alfred Landon o f Kansas says that the GOP question right now is not the candidate. We’ve tried that, yon know. Inti. imp. is being taken .o ff the English coins under the king’s picture.

DEVOTIONAL READING: Revelation 7:9-17. God's V-Day Lesson for December 26, 19-18. C'VERYBODY loves a fight, they say. But the underdog does not love it, and nobody loves one that goes on and on and seems to have no end. The long­ est war in history is the war that manki nd wages against everything that is oJt to de­ stroy him. It is the war between man at his hest and man at his worst, between the angel and the devil in man himself. We the underdogs—and Dr. Foreman seem to be how tired we grow of itl * * * God’ s Fight T HE Bible shows us that this fight is not one in which we human beings are left to defend ourselves alone. We have an enemy, Satan; and we have an ally, God. Whenever a man lines up against anything that is wrong,, hateful, deceitful, destructive, and on the side of what is creative, just, brotherly and true, he finds that this is not a private fight, it is not even the struggle of mankind alone. It is a cosmic conflict God’s universe is not a neat garden in which only flowers grow; he has to work cutting down the weeds. His universe is not a realm at peace, with no need even for police; treason is abroad, rebellion breaks out here and there. The Greeks used to think that the gods: never went to any trouble, they ruled without effort. But the Christian Bible tells of a God who does have troubles, who meets op­ position and fights against it. # * * Bright Books for Dark Times T WO books in our Bible bring this out in a startling way: Daniel and Revelation. We have been thinking through three months now about various kinds of litera­ ture in the Bible. The kind repre­ sented by these two books is called “ Apocalyptic.” S c h o l a r s have discovered a number of sim­ ilar books, but these two are in­ comparably the greatest and were the only two to be admitted to the Bible. One feature of all apocalyp­ tic literature is that it always ap­ pears in dark times, and its first readers are people down at the bot­ tom of the heap, people beyond all human hope. Daniel, long before the time of Christ, and Revelation, two generations later than Christ, came as lights in. a very dark world. The first of these books circulated when the Jews were hard pressed by Syrian perse­ cutors, and when the other came out, the Christians were about to be crushed out of ex­ istence by cruel Roman em­ perors. Observing what went on in those days, you might have thought the Jews, or the Christians as the case might: be, had no prospects of viving. But these books brought a brighter message: Have courage! God will not lose! * *. «. A Code in Pictures D ANIEL and Revelation are both hard to understand, and for the same reason. Their mes­ sages are framed not always in plain language but in symbols. Hidden meanings abound. This had to be so; if one of these books fell (as sometimes they did) into the hands of the persecuting agents of the Syr­ ian or Roman governments, it would not get the owner Into trouble, for the agent would hardly be able to interpret the strange language. All sorts of weird creatures and events move through these myste­ rious pages, and they often prob­ ably refer to persons or events known to the writers and the first readers; beasts with iron teeth and horns with eyes; a flaming throne set on a river of fire; golden vials filled with the wrath of God; a red dragon sweeping the stars down with its tail • V, * God’ s Victory W E NEED not bp distressed now at not being able to un­ lock all the code in which these extraordinary books are written. We can read them for their sheer beauty and force of imagination, for one thing, and we cannot miss their main truth. The bright picture of the New Jerusalem in Rev. 21, 2" is one of the loveliest and most comforting passages in the entire Bible. Protestant Jtnomirations.

Smith, Xenia, Night Hog Feeding Shows Good Results Experiment Elay Prove Useful During Summer • i What is believed to have been the first experiment in night feeding of hogs indicates that this' practice may prove" highly practical, at least during, the summer months. The'-'experiment was conductedby Robert C. Turner, a Henry, 111., farmer, who produced air average gain of 92 pounds each on a herd of 107 Duroc hogs he had on his hight-feeding program for 63 days. To encourage his pigs to eat dur­ ing the cool of the night when they were reluctant to eat during the heat of the summer days, Turner erected lights in his hog lot. He had a time clock control set to switch the lights on for two night feedings, from 13 to 11:30 p. m.- and from 2 to 3:30 a. m. One pole with a single 150-watt bulb and another pole with two 150-watt bulbs lighted the hog lot area, while a third pole with two 150-watt bulbs lighted the self-feed­ ers. Turner fed a ration of ground oats and a pelletized milk product in the self-feeders, hand fed. ear corn, and provided mineral, salt and good al­ falfa pasture. His 107 pigs, farrowed in late March and early April, weighed in for .the test at 7,424 pounds, or _an average of 69.38 pounds each. They weighed out at 17,270 pounds, or an average of 161.4 pounds each.

Turner of Henry, 111., in his night hog-feeding ex­ periment. meant a total gain of 9,818 pounds of pork, about 92 pounds per pig, or an average daily gain of about 1.45 pounds per pig. The herd consumed a total of 27,- 069 pounds of feed at a cost of ?!,- 089.91. According to these figures Turner produced his gain at the rate of 275 pounds of feed for each 100 pounds of pork, or a feed -cost of about $11.70 per hundred weight. The experiment used 148 kilowatt hours of electricity at a cost of $7.40, or about seven cents per pig.
