The road to Bethlehem runs right through The homes of folks like me and you.” The Christmas concert season is here.

SOME HOBOES PREFER BEGGING T0 SAWING WOOD Constable George Smith reports that several Knights of the Road, given lodgings in the local lock-up, have refused to cut the assigned number of sticks at the municipal woodpile in payment for their breakâ€" fast and have been bothering citizens begging for something to eat. All wanderers who come to the village are given the privilege of cutting eight sticks of wood in return for which they will be given a meal ticket. It is surprising that there are ableâ€"bodied men who expect food without work, but it is a fact never- theless. Constable Smith says sev- eral of the men have refused to cut the wood but prefer to go from door to door begging for their breakfast. This type of individual is deserving of little sympathy and would citizens hit up for a hand-out in the morn- ings do well to refer the applicants back to Constable Smith.
