So dear Guidites let's be nice, by observing the fol lowing ‘'dun’tS”—Don’t stay out late at pig&t. Don't fail to do what ever pwifrar or father tells us to do.

These are Santa Claus’ orders. ■-O— Wm-d Stady ‘‘tfse a word three times and it is years.” I«et us increase our vo cabulary by mas'ering one word errb dev.

Lowater From down the distant ages thru the centuries dark and dim; Comes a flash of light supernal and the Tcho of a hymn. ‘Tis the light which shown from HiYven, whpn Hhe child of peace was born; And the song was sung by Angels on the first fair Christmas mom. Peace on earth, good will from Heaven, how it rolled along the sky. And the ages all have listened as the echoes passed them by. Even now the star is shining and its light is soft and clear. And the angels still are singing if We will but pause to hear. Loud and louder grows the anthem, nations swell the glad refrain. Telling to the future ages all the glory of His name. Unto earth a song is given and a Prince of Peace is born Let us join the angel's chorus on this Joyous Christmas morn. -o Wards Often Misused Do not say, “He had no other alternatives,” nor, “He had three alternattwes ” Alternative means ffcur a ad novice. An amateur some. Say, "He had no alternative,” or ‘He had an alternative.” Discrimina'e in the uses of ama teur and novice. An amateud some times has the skill of a profession 's], A novire is a beginner and never so skillful as a professional. , Do not say, “The work is mighty difficult.” Say ‘The work is very difficult.” Mighty means possess ing might; powerful. While tJv; express'on “to grow smaller” is often used by good writers, it is just as easy to say “to become smaller.” Grow means to increase in size. Do no* say, ‘ It was a painful accident.” Say, “It was a ser ous accident, resulting in a painful in jury.” Do not my, “I am real glad you came.” Say, "I am very glad you came.” ■ n. Famous Quotations If you attend to de'ails the rest •is easy.—Henry Ford. Appreciate kindness and reward v i rtue.—Han son. A rolling stone gathers no moss. Success contains a “you” but no "I”. It is less dangerous to slip with foot than with the tongue. APPLICATION-GUIDITE CLUB Please enroll me in The GUIDITE CLUB, I promise U abide by the rules as set forth in The Omaha Guide.
