OUR CHRISTMAS WISH
IT REQUIRES not the oc
casion of Christmas with its
joys, cheer and prevalent
good will, to arouse in us a
sense of the appreciation due
patrons of this paper.
In our hearts and minds
are gratitude and good
thoughts for you during every
day of the year; but Christ
mas hallows our sentiments
and makes their expression
fitting and timely.
Such as we have accom
plished and such good as may
be traceable to our efforts
would not have been possible
without your sustaining power
and co-operation. If in any
sense we have upheld a bea
con, you have supplied oil
for the lamp. If ours has
been a chariot, yours has been
the motive element which has
kept it on its way.
All characters appealing
to or endeavoring to entertain
the public, must be given a
certain meed of applause or
they cannot exist. With those
engaged in publishing a news
paper, the applause comes in
the interest which readers
manifest in its columns and in
an occasional word of approv
al. The practical help of
subscribers and advertisers
has enabled us to maintain a
publication standard; their
encouragement has furnished
the degree of pleasure neces
sary as an incentive to our
daily tasks.
May the spirit of Christmas
work for you the full degree
o f its bountifulness. May
you be enabled to get the
same amount of pleasure and
benefit from these columns
that we have derived from
making them.

music.

love story ever unfolded. It
is told in the William Fox

In response to a definite de
mand for the better things in
motion pictures this vitally
dramatic poem has been made
to live and breathe and have
a being which no other art or
magic could contrive. Long
fellow will live as never be-!
fore in the hearts of all the
world through this triumph of
the screen.
j * Evangeline is now being
■shown in the best theartes
1 everywhere. It represents j
the beauty, realism and deep
dramatic power of Fox en
tertainments. This master
