HANDSOME CALENDARS
Without Exception   Prettiest   Designs
Ever Printed by The Observer." '
Tf
J
Never tajt^^ays^-oiir merchants
indulg^dTrsuch prety designs of cal-
end^fs to present friends and patrons
^as have been printed by The Observer
during the past month.
Fred Schmid is passing out a beautiful hand painted picture of the head
and shoulders of a winsome miss, who
will win her way into the hearts of all
who are fortunate enough to secure
her. -
Seeger & Schroen's calendar is a
pretty lake and mountain view, with
the sun trying to hi eak through a fog.
James Marchesotti's calendar represents a young lady in a. swell tailored
suit, and this is also hand painted.
Will Sturm has a swell picture of a
fair equestrienne beside a magnificent
specimen of horseflesh.
Burkhart Bros.' design represents
flowers, re'splendent in all of the beautiful colors nature is so lavish with.
S. Y. Cotton got away from the long.
panels he has used for several years
and is giving out a picturesque American scene.
Alber & Theurer also have hand-
painted calendars, representing a nearly full length photo ', / a charming
young lady, the frame and background
harmonizing
Muir & Gross have two designs this
year, one representing a little child
and dog enjoying lake breezes, while
the other pictures three little ones indulging m a frolic in a bath room.
George J. Bersuder of Bridgewater
has a handsome hand-painted picture
of a young lady's head and sh.ulders
and we'd judge from her appearance
she is all ready for some social function. She appears quite happy with
her prospects.
Maurer Bros, of Bridgewater selected a banner representing a boy busy
at the telephone, taking orders for
their products.
Much care was taken in arranging
the typographical effects and colors of   • *
ink to harmonize with tlie pictures, and   | j
it doesn't matter much which calendar   11
you may be favored with, you are sure   • |,
of a work of art in every respect,

All Made Merry at Christmas Meeting
of the Woman's Club.
The Saline Woman's club spent a
most delightful afternoon with Mrs.
Fred Burkhart, Tuesday, where a
Christmas .program was carried out.
The house was tastefully decorated in
the Christmas colors and a Christmas
tree laden with pretty things stood in
the corner. The Christmas spirit prevailed everywhere, especially when
Santa Claus rapped at the door, laden with gifts for all present.
At roll call responses were given by
members reciting some Christmss
rhymes. The following program was
rendered:
Solo—Mrs. Fred Burkhart.
Recitation—Msster Bruce Parsons.
YOcal trio—Misses Wheeler.
Recitation—Little Miss Edith Rose
Parsons.
Vocal solo—Miss Wyckofi.
* All were heartily applauded. The
program committee in charge of the
afternoon's entertainment then distributed nuts to be cracked, each containing some certain "stunt" to be
performed by the recipient. This
caused very much amusement, and
the joviality which followed must have
been heard by Santa, who then appeared in the room, darkened with
the exception of the small electric
lights on the tree. Mrs. Lehman also
presented each member with a small
favour, a snapping jack. The club
then adjourned for the holidays.
The next meeting will be held at
the home of Mrs. Earl Dietiker, January 4, 1916.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH NEWS.
Rev. Wm. H. Hoffman, pastor.
Subject, Sabbath morning: "The
Veterans of the Cross." Evening:
"Some References to Science in the
Bible, That are Very Suggestive."
Y. P. S.'C. E., 6 o'clock. The Pledge
and its Significance. Are you Helping
to Keep Up the Attendance?
Prayer meeting, Thursday evening.
It is encouraging to see a growing interest in this meeting, still there are
others who might come.
At the annual meeting of the C. E.
society, of the Presbyterian church the
following officers were elected for the
ensuing year: President, Eugene Crittenden; Vice-President, William Lutz;
Corresponding Secretary, Miss Edna
Smith; Recording Secretary, Miss
Margaret Fairbanks; Treasurer, John
Finch. The reports of the several
committees revealed the society to he
in good financial condition and renewed interest along all lines. The annual
candy-pull afforded the usual fun and
amusement, and all went home with a
consecrated purpose tp make the society a still greater success.
With the near approach of Christmas has it occurred to you that we are
all under a personal obligation to create a Christmas spirit? In all probability there has never been a time like
the present, when passion and strife
and hatred was so world-wide and intense.
Shall the debates of Congress, on
Preparedness for war, the thunder of
artillery and the appeal to passion,,
deafen our ears to the angelic song of
peace?
Every Christian should realize the
deep spiritual significance of Christmas, and be at peace among themselves.
God help us to brighten some corner
in our own hearts, that we may enshrine the glory of the Saviour's presence and so brighten and cheer this
old battle-scarred world, with a true
Christmas spirit.        _.
