MAGRATH, ALBERTA, DEC® -ER 31 We liked the sentiments on one Christmas Card so we reprint it herewith "If I had to paint a picture of a man I '■ think I ’ d wait ’ ‘Till he’d fought his selfish battles and had put aside his hate. I’d not catch him at his labors when his thoughts are all of pelf, On the long days and the dreary when he’s striving for himself« I’d not*take him when he’s sneering, when he’s scornful or depressed, But I’d look for him at Christmas . when he’s shining at his best."

When the trailer lodged ths car stopped and was held there uninjured until it was pulled up by a team of horses. Mrs. Ed. Clifton states that when the road is slippery they dare not come to town for fear of rolling off into the canal, and with a canal full of water, that would be dangerous business. A little gravel and a guard fonoe might help.
