DON'T imbibe too freely
Of the cup of Christmas cheer.
Be careful and you'll really
Live to see another year.
Cantons, the administrative di
visions of Switzerland, keep local
affairs largely in their own hands,
and manage their national busi
ness through a two-chamber par
[ liament to which they send rep
resentatives.
When that warm glow fills
your being and you tingle
with desire to tell every
one what a wonderful
place this old world is, you
know it is Holiday time . .
and neighbors, we just
want to say Merry Christ
mas and Happy New Year
to all.

Warbling carols in the snow.
You may sing a mean cadenza
But your tonsils get the woe.

To count on worn-out wire

DON'T stuff yourself on turkey,
Cranberry sauce and such.
You will feel much less murky
If you don't eat too much.
DON'T fall off the ladder
While hanging mistletoe.
Christmas will be gladder
Without a broken toe.
PERSONAL SOUVENIR

RATTLED RATTLESNAKE
RATTLED TO DEATH
.CUT BANK, Mont. —(AP)—
Passengers yawned as the bus
labored up an incline on the
Lewiston-Billings run. Suddenly,
they jamed to one side and the
driver stopped. Off the road in
a natural amphitheater, a hawk
and a rattlesnake were locked in
mortal combat. The passengers
made bets. The wily hawk feint
ed, then caught the snake be
hind the head and shook and
clawed furiously. This he repeat
ed time and again. The snake
backers paid off. The hawk took
flight, did an Immelman turn
over his destroyed target—then
! flew away triumphantly.
