Christmas Morning
If Bethlehem were here today
Or this were very long ago,
There wouldn't be a winter time
Nor any cold or snow.
I'd run out through the garden gate,
And down along the pasture walk;
And off beside the cattle barns
I'd hear a kind of gentle talk.
I'd move the heavy iron chain
And pull away the wooden pin;
Id push the door a little bit
And tiptoe very softly in.
The pigeons and the yellow hens
And all the cows would stand away;
Their eyes would open wide to see
A Lady in the manger hay.
If this were very long ago
And Bethlehem were here today.
And Mother held my hand and smiled—
I mean the Lady would—and she
Would take the wooly blankets off
Her Little Boy so I could see.
His shut-up eyes would be asleep,
And He would look like our John,
And He would be all crumpled too,
And have a pinkish color on.
I'd watch His breath go in and out
His little clothes would all be white.
I'd slip my finger in his hand
To feel how He could hold it tight.
"And She would smile and say,
The Mother, Mary’d say, ‘
And I would kiss His little hand,
And rough His hair.
While Mary put the blankets back
The gentle talk would soon begin.
And when I'd tiptoe softly out,
I'd meet the Wisemen going in.
— Elizabeth Madox Roberts.

Prohibition Is
Favored By
State Grange
Convention Goes On
Record for Bbolishment
Of Alcoholic Beverages
A resolution demanding that all
alcoholic beverages be ‘‘abolished’”
until after the war was written into
the records of the Pennsylvania
State Grange last week after its
70th annual convention in Harris-
burg.
In other resolutions the farm
group demanded strict vigilance by
Congressmen to prevent govern-
mental expenditures not essential to
the war, and found that ‘‘a moral or
spiritual relapse” among the United |?
Nations and enemy countries Jad |}
| contributed to ‘the social turmoil.”
“When housewife and school child
are urged as a patriotic duty to save |
tin, and when the distribution of
milk is limited because of the tire
shortage, why is this malignant in-
dustry permitted to use 60 per cent
of the salvaged tin to cap bottled
brews, given rubber for its trucks
and allotted thousands of bushels
of grain suitable for food or poten-
tial sources of artificial rubber.
“For the sake of victory we de-
mand that all alcoholic beverages
be abolished until after demobiliza-
tion.”
When you buy a War Savings
Bond or Stamp you buy the right to
live your own life, free from regi-
mental terror.
