CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
TO PEOPLE OF FLORIDA

By Braxton Beacham, Federal Food
, Administrator of the State
In the approaching observance of
. the great universal festival of Christ Christmas,
mas, Christmas, the trca "spirit of" which calls
. for the practice of self-denial, and
the greater blessings of giving than
' of receiving, I call upon the people
of Florida to respond more freely to
the Christmas spirit, and while in an anticipation
ticipation anticipation of the joys and pleasures of
, the day, nmy they give due thought
and strong effort to making the
Christmas of 1917 more noted through
' their self-denial.
- It is not necessarythat we take
from ourselves and ouf children the
" joys and smiles that are inherent
rights, but we should make -those
- jdys and smiles embody a self-satisfaction
that we have helped to make
more secure the peace-at-home, and
more certain the return of peace
abroad.;
1 I-urge the people of Florida to beai
in mind, and teach to their children,
1 that4 every ounce of wheat, meat and
f sugaV saved from the Christmas feast
will be an ounce of strength for the
-armies of our own and allied nations
who are striving to protect our own
and our fellow countries from, autoc-
racy's domination.
So let us refrain from carelesy.
. uses of those needful foods, and fully
realize that all we save will be a
greater support to our soldiers, and
a greater defense A against the dan dan-.
. dan-. gers that confront them, and a sure
and powerful factor for an earlier
, peace throughout the world.
Let us use wisely, give wisely, and
ever remember that, in observance of
this holy Christmas, we can, by our
more thoughtful self-denial, win the
. respect of our friends, the gratitude
of our country and allies, and the
blessings of God.

youth of other s American children,
their eyes saw straight into the very
heart of suffering. This is what they
did: They. poured their previous sav
ings, pennies and nickles which had
been given them from time to time, a
few larger pieces and a bill or two,
into a white box marked with the Red
Cross.
Some influential men of the city
were seated around a table talking
about raising money for the Ameri American
can American Red Cross. That. small white box
was there and some made as if to
drop in contributions. But one of
them held it up, and said, "No no
further gift is permitted here. We
could, not add to this." And in tht,
presenceof this gift to the American
Red Cross from the home for crippled
children, there was a sudden quiet

One day it was long before we too

their "gouter" for the rest of the

Christ Flowers
Born of the clouds and darkness,
Of the frost and early snow,
When the summer blooms have faded,
The beautiful Christ flowers blow.
All through the budding springtime,
All through the summer's heat,
All through the autumn's glory
They hide their blossoms sweet.
But when the earth is lonely
And the bitter north winds blow,
With a smile of cheer for the dear old
year
The Christmas blossoms blow.
Sweet as the dream of summer,
White as the drifting snow;
When our hearts are filled with griev grieving,
ing, grieving, The beautiful Christ flowers blow.
Not all the. south wind's wooing
Opens their secret heart,
Slender they grow and stately,
Guarding their life apart;
But when the earth is dreary
And heavy clouds hang low,
With their tender cheer for the way wayworn
worn wayworn year
The Christmas blossoms blow.
Sweetest of all consolers!
Fairest of flowers that grow!
When hopes and flowers have faded
The beautiful Christ flowers blow.
Bright in the cottage windows,
Sweet in the darkened room,
.Fair in the shortened sunlight,
Cheering the dusky gloom.
Oh, when our hearts are lonely
And cloud3 of care hang low,
What blessed cheer for our dying
year,
The Christmas blossoms blow!

up what he evidently regarded as a
final statement, namely: "We sell sau sausages
sages sausages to the king." Next day there
appeared over the door of the first
sausage maker the simple expression
of loyalty, "God save the king."
