Who will dare to say that the dear
little village of Alvo is a lifeless
place to live? Why, bless your life,
there seems to be more social func
tions in lively operation than we
have nights in the week for them
Of course part of these are the eager
ness and earnestness as well as the
spirit of determination in this con
test of the Reds and the Blues in the
Sunday school for the victory. Well.
last Sunday the Reds put one over

j
on the Blues. But the race is a
mighty close one. The Blues have
less than one hundred points for
their bragging up to the present. The
Reds have two social doings to put
on soon whereby they expect to sail
the old aeroplane far ahead of the
Blues. The Blues are by no means
blue in their ambitions. Just wait
till after the big box social and we
are all weighed in the balance, our
purse will speak for itself. So the big
auto will just glide smoothly on
with our "blowouts."
On with the contest!
The Parent-Teachers association
of Wednesday night at the school
house showed their great interest in
this new movement by a full house.
The program was excellent, especial
ly the exhibits of the toys made by
the children. And the chicken sand
wiches served by the Reds could not
have been better with hot coffee.
Well done. Serve us at the next meet
ing vith the same menu.
At this late hour we are in receipt
of a letter from old Santa and he ex
pects to visit all the boys and girls
at the church on Monday night. The
tree and program are ready.
A new enterprise under the aus
pices of Methodism is on us again.
The William Jennings Bryan home
in Lincoln is to be converted into a
Methodist hospital and we are call
ing for memberships in this hospi
tal at $1 each. Why not every Meth
odist fall in line and send the dol
lar to your pastor fo rthis purpose?
Misses Gladys Reed and Helen
King of Rosalie, Neb., are present
visitors at the parsonage.
The parsonage folks enjoyed the
hospitality of Brother and Sister
William-Coatman and family last
Sunday for dinner. Thank you.
friends for your kind remembrance
of us.
The Ladies Aid society met and at
the present writing have arranged
to put on the best oyster supper in
the history of the church. This sup
per is to be given next Monday night.
Price. 25cents.
The Sunday school had a re-election
of teachers and officers last
Wednesday night and they elected
Sister Edwards as superintendent.
Sorry to lose Superintendent Coat
man, but it was his request to
change.
Everybody seems to be enjoying
the uletide season with their many
friends and relatives. Smiles and
kind words seem to characterize the
various groups of people whether on
the street or indoors. May this
friendly spirit continue to prevail In
Alvo community.
The Christmas porgram given at
the church last Sunday night was
sure well attended and from the
many expressions it was well appre
ciated. Mrs. Nickels sure did well in
leading and directing these workers
Old Santa was just a little late in
reaching the church but he arrived
in time to catch the boys and girls
at the church entrance with four big
baskets of candy and nuts. I guess
he nad some tire trouble, but there
was no room left inside as the im
mense crowd filled the church be
yond the capacity to the doors and
down the stairs. Old Santa knows
how to entertain the crowds.
Now last but" not least a word on
the contest in the Sunday school.
Last Sunday the records showed 168
in attendance and a collection of
$51. A little bird whispered to the
Blue captain. Mr. Taylor, saying:
"Blues look out for next Sunday.
Prepare to take your defeat." We
have the dough in hand and we ex
pect to show you Blues that our ma
chine can fly as a record breaker.
Furthermore we have in addition to
this, the social function at the
school house which alone will make
at least two big holes in that $1,000
debt. Captain Bornemeier has sure
spent a very busy week in arranging
for a lively program for the social
as well as to let no dirt stay on his
auto wheels visiting his friends in
the interest of the Reds. I tell you
this Sunday school is sure a live
bunch. What do you know they
say they can build that new parson
age at the rate thy are going. By
such activities and the splendid pat
ronage by so many kind friends, Al
vo will soon be on the map as the
most desirable spot in Cass county.
May the choicest blessings rest upon
every contributor to the interest of
the church. Thank you. friends, f "r
your friendly interest and helo.
Please accept a cordial invitation o
our church services at least once on
Sunday.

At the end of each year it the custom for
the merchants to thank their patrons for
the past favors. It is a fitting recognition of
loyalty the people have shown to their home
dealers.
We, too, thank you most sincerely. But we
want our thanks to consist of more than
mere words.
We want to assure you that our appreciation will be
evidenced the coming year by the high quality of our
merchandise, by the extreme moderation of our prices
and by the excellent service we will render you in
