A PLEA FOR THE NEWS KDITOU.I
When we are looking over an nx(i-\
i'd,, in the Handout, we never stujj to j
i think who wrote that article. No!
hate to see anyone get ahead of 1 matter whether we like it. or. dislike if;
us. It is .then a selfish motive
which prompts us to act its we
do. marring the peace and good
will which should attend this
festal day.
Picture a real Christmas wel-
comed in by a band of children,
singing carols of " love, peace,
joy and good will, ha^»y in the
fact that all are gathered to-
gether and each one delighted
over some single gift showing
•>, nice and love.
"Not what we give, but what
we share, for the gift without
the giver is bare."
With such a gospel as this
ringing in our ears, how can we
say, "Forgive us our Christmas-
es, as we forgive those who
Christmas against us."
;'0—r O
GIVE.
CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.
Let there be fewer 'Christmas
gifts this year for friends and
more gifts for the Red Cross,
Margaret Moseley | the War Relief Fund, and for
ikporters. charities. Let the money ex-
pended heretofore in useless
presents be given for articles of
service to our soldiers. Let the
time spent in dainty sewing be
given to knitting. Agree with
your friends not to exchange
gifts but to give where you may
receive nothing in return. You
will be sure to receive more than
you have given. If you make
this agreement, let it not be for
the purpose of keeping the mon-
ey in your own pocket, but let
it be for the purpose of putting
it in the pockets of those who
need it, and in the more expe-
dient form.
We enjoin this on you before
you have done your Christ.mas
shopping in order that you may
change the nature of your pur-
chases.

we never go to the trouble of t. nding j
out the author, and either congratu-j
luting or correcting her.
We never take time to find out
what are the duties of the various
editors on the staff. And it. is likely
that very few of us know what the
duties of the news editor are. If we 1
read the last page of the Ladies' Home
Journal each month, that of the "Of-
fice Dog" we might get a better idea
concerning the news editor.
This editor has to turn in "little
scraps that she picks up here, there
and everywhere; just a lot of amus-
ing and surprising things,"
Now in order to do this capably,
shti needs assistance. Not only does
she need your help and encourage-
ment, your "Hurrahs" and Bravos":
over the articles, but more than that, ;
she needs practical aid in getting the |
articles written up
Several times already this editor
has asked girls to write up certain
events. They agreed heartily, yet,
when the day approached the reports
did not come in, so there was the
news editor left "holding the sack."
We urge the girls to be more loyal
to the .news editor and when she asks |
you to give her a write-up don't say!
"yes" unless you mean it. and don't j
ever say "no."

The wise men brought the

Be patriotic! That is a pair

is of equal value in war and peace.
It maybe said that the German
government and the German people
are one in purpose and action and this
seems to be true for the time being.
But we must remember that the pres-
ent pernicious plans of the German
gov ernment are the product of the last
fifty years. Back of that stretch
ten centuries of peaceful development
of a peace-loving and talanted race
the present ferocity of which can only
bo accounted for by the fac' that a

generation. It seems impossible that
