VOLUME XXXVIII
SOLDIER BONUS BILL
VERY LIKELY TO PASS
NAPLES, TEXAS, FRIDAY1, DECEMBER 28, life
Note Burning And Roll Call.
Indications are it Will Become
Law This Session.
m
Washington, 1). C., Dec. 26.—
A disposition prevails, it would
appear, in the House of Represen-
tatives possibly in the Senate as well
to enact both bonus legislation and
tax reduction. In other' words, an
effort is to be made to grant the
bonus which will cost an unmeasured
sum, and to lower the revenues of
the government by a revision of the
tax scale.
It is riot known just how much the
bon«s will cost the government at
the outset. Several modes of pay-
ment are proposed, some imposing
an immediate and direct demand
upon the Treasury, others involving
a postponed liquidation. Choices
are offered lo ^veterans, and there
is fto means to determine in advance
how they will. choose. So if the
precise Treasury effect of the first
year of bonuB must needs he known
before tax revision can be accom-
plished there may be some delay in
material tax cutting., Possibly by
the time the bonus bill is passed the
percentage of cash demands will be
fairly well known. At any rate.it
will be-pospible to assume a maxi-
mum fir t-year demand fiftf) Wt the
tax-revision measure accordingly.

Next Sunday is a fifth Sunday.
If the Lord will, there will be a
meeting at the Baptist Church in
Naples- Several things out of the
ordinary will bo done. For some
years the church has been in debt:
not a big debt, but enough to make
niendii'i-s fool :i slight annoyance
when they thought of it. By* next
Sunday all of that old debt will be
paid and the old note which has
been renewed from time to time
will be publicly burned. The church
will be out of debt. The Bible says
"Owe no man any thing save^to
idve one'another."
The church roll of 200 members
will be called. It is the last Surtday
of the year. He there to answer to
your [name. The contribution en-
velopes for next year's budget will
distributed. Be there to get your
package. He there on general
principles anyhow- God's word
teaches that his people are hot to
forsake the assembling of themselves
together. If you are a member of
that church it is your particular
business to be there next Sunday
unless God by hi* providence Keeps
you away. Of course the public in
general is invited. '• 4

IN PRESIDENT RACE
The Two Parties. '
Washington, D. C>, Dec. 2(i.—
.The Republican* have been get-
ting most of <f)e newspaper publi-
lately, largely due to the meeting of
the National Comrtlittee here and
the excitement incident to the
Coolidge Johnson fuetj. The De-
mocrats will get their share in a few
weeks when they gather .here to
name their 1924 convention city.
It is expected that the meeting will
go to Chicago, in view of the de

Magic of Christmas
Sweeps Entire World
H13 muglc of Ohristums lies
over the world today, elianjiinu
the dreary commonplace events
of yesterday into tilings of
wonder and delight and tillia;;
the earth with happiness and Joy and
cheer. It permeates the whole earth
fiVjn end to end and mankind in every
land and In every clime responds to
It In the fullest measure. Fur Into
our hearts at this time there comes
a beautiful something that raises us
above ourselves and brines us t.i
greater heights than we ever reach at
any other time. For with the magic
of Christmas time man buries .self
In trying to promote the happiness
and well-being of others and in doing
this finds greatest happiness for him-
self also. For it seems as if the mors
we give of love, of service and of our-
selves the fuller grows the store from
which we draw upon and the richer
we grow In the things that make fur
our own happiness. Let us then allow
the roagle of Christmastime to fall
upon us so deeply that it may not
only viy with us at this time but
through all the days to follow.—
Katherine Fdelinnu.

A FAIR EXCHANGE
I-attra and Tommy often had Ira- [
portant discussions on serious sub >
Jects. Christmas evening found them j
in grave colloquy. There seemed to be
a slight ambiguity about who gave
thftln gifts, God or their father, it
was ftvinatter which could not be set-
tied. Finally Laura said in u superior
tone:
"You know, Tommy, that daddy isn't
our only father; we have two."
Tommy appeared surprised. "Who's i
the other one?" be asked.
"God!" answered Laura succinctly.
Tommy gave the occasion much re- ;
flection. Then he said earnestly:
"Well, I wish Daddy would go to j
heaven for a while and let God come ]
down anil stay With us—I'd like to ge; ,
acquainted I"—M. B. Thomas.

Old Yuletide Hymn
Favorite Everywhere
HERE Is ly n church of
any denomination that does not
soma time during the Christ-
mas season echo to the strains
of that beautiful and soul-in-
spiring hymn, "O, come all ye faithful "
It seems to be a favorite at Yuletide
In every land and in every dime
whether it Is sung as above referred
to, or la Its original form as the
"Adeste Fidel Is."
The hymn was first given to the
world In the Thirteenth century by a
Franciscan monk, but did not gain
world-wide popularity for a long time !
after. The English translation was j
made by Canon Frederick Oakley over j
sfrty. years ago. 8>IIM HlHl UW lliS I
hymn lias been translated Into the
language of every nation and the
sweet and lofty words ring out at
Christmas time in many remote places.
But while the English translation
has .superseded the original Latin to
a great extent, yet the beauty of the
original composition is such that there
are many who still prefer to hear it
even though the language Is not their
own.—Katherine Edelman.

In cold countries, when-enow pre-
vails during a long winter, many
animals change the ^hue of their
coats to a white tint. The case of
the weasel is especially curious: it
retains its brown coat until the
first snow appears and then whitens
in a few hovrs.
On the Dakota plains, where the
winters are invariably very cold, the
fur of the "Jack" rabbits also takes
on a white color.

Not so many years ago gasoline
was a by-product in the distillation
of petroleum, and was considered
worthless. It was thrown away for
years. It is now the mainstay of
the oil industry and millions of
■gallons are consumed daily. This
change has taken place in the last
twenty live years. Gasoline today-
is almost as great a necessity as
coal.
