EXPRESS WANT AOS ARE RESULT BRINGERS
The true spirit of Christmas Is abroad
in San Antonio today. The past year has
been so productive of good things that on
all sides there Is a feeling of rejoicing and
good cheer. Impressions of the sentiment
that thta Is truly u happy Christmas for
the city and Its citlsena were to be heard
on all sides yesterday and a hearty good
fellowship waa more than apparent.
Many good reasons were given by le«d-
tng San Antonlans for their feeling of good
cheer thin Christmas Day, some of them
taking occasion to revert to former occas-
ons to revert to former occasions in their
liven which they recalled as "the happiest
Christmas I can remember." One anil all
however, expressed an unusual feeling of
happiness this year, and the general opin-
ion scorned to be that the city is just enter-
ing upon the greatest era of development
and prosperity and consequent happiness
that It has ever experienced.
,„r'; J. Hart—There Is cause for jot this
Christmas, because San Antonio I* coming
Into Its own is a metropplls. We are be-
ginning to work for a greater city, with a
milled progressive citizenship.
.1. II. Klrkpatrlck—This Is not the hap-
piest Christmas I hare seen, though there
arc many reasons why San Antonlans
should be happy this year. We have more
reason than many other sections of the
country to rejoice. Mj happiest Chrlst-
nms was two weeks before I was married.
I waa courting then, and I waa so happy
that I shall always remember It.
Charles M. Roberts- My happiest ChrUt-
rnas was when I wus a little hoy. My
father got uie a pair red-top boots with
copper tips and I can remember vividly
today knw proud I was. I have never been
happier at Christmas since. Our daughter
Is nway from home this year and we will
spend n quiet Christmas, hut I am feeling
very happy over the outlook In San An-
tonio. Things are brightening and I be-
lieve that the next two years are going
to be tho best the city has ever seen.
Mrs. A. W; Houston—Because of the en-
joyment of the company of my little
grandson three years old, 1 don't think I
could be happier. Tonight he had a
Christinas tree at his home, and Christmas
morning there will be a tree for him at
the home of his grandmother. I can not
recall u Christmas that I enjoyed as much
as I am enjoying this one.
Mrs. James M. Young- I feel richer and
happier than ever before at this season,
because I have gotten no much out of the
Good Cheer work. To be of service to

I could ask for, and to me tt Is the great-
est of Christmas gifts.
Mrs. Bentio Kaytou—Am I happy? Well,
I should say so. Kvery year, after 1 have
finished with Christmas Cheer work I feel
that 1 am worth a million at least. I come
In contact with so much want and Buffer-
ing that I can not feel otherwise than hap-
py because of the pan. however small, I
nave bad In making others happy. This
time I »m happier than ever brfore.
I). E. Colp—I can say truthfully that this
Is my happiest Christmas season, for Ihe
one reason that I have been assisting the
Christmas Cheer workers for a week. We
buve been making others bnppy and in so
doing wo have brought Immeasurable hap-
piness Into our own Uvea.
Mra. Martin Wright—It Is my happiest
Christmas because 1 have had opportunity
to help out a lot of poor folk who could
not help themselves. I fed that It la a
great privilege to make others happy.
Mrs. Frank Kllcy It Is it sail Christmas
for me because of my bereavement, but t
atn helping In the Christinas Cheer move
ment with the feeling that tt Is honoring
the memory of my husband, who last year
took sttch deep Interest in the work, lu
feelplng to Sethi Joy Into the homes of un-
fortunates some measure of happlntss Is
earning In me.
Mrs. t>eorge Surkey—Tes, this Is my hap-
py Christmas. 1 am so well pleased with
the Christmas Cheer wurk and my husband
und ehtldren and mother, that I ilon't need
another thing to complete my cup of hap-
piness.
Miss Klma llawklns Surkey—'The work I
have done In connection with the Christmas
Cheer movement is something I hut la mak-
ing this a Christinas 1 shall never forget.
1 went out with the first load ot Christ
mas baskets delivered, and 1 also helped
deliver tho lust load. The happiness those
basket* brought to the poor aud needv
made me feel that 1 should be a happy
mortal.
Mrs. Mabel Mussev Hales No one can do
this work without being made to feel hap
pier over their own possessions. 1 have
seen so many reasons for the relief that
has been and In being extended that It
makes me feel this Christmas Is one of
the happiest, tf not the happiest, I have
ever experienced.
Rev. Philip Cook—I try to make every
Christmas celebration a happy one. With
food health and prosperous surroundings
can assign no reason why this one
should not be as happy as any of Its pre
deeessors.
Henry A. Hlrshberg—I know nothing to
make me unhappy. I always try to be
happy at Christinas time and all other
seasons. It would take me a good while
to decide which has been my happiest
Christinas.
C. C. Leel--Oood prospects and encour-
aging surroundings make this us happy a
Curlstmas time as I have ever experienced.
Ray M. Maekejf Kvery Christmas Is my
happiest one. WhyV Because as I grow
older 1 grow more appreciative. There Is
an added reosou this year became of the
fact that the true Christmas spirit Is more
widespread In San Antonio Just now than
ever before, or at least since I have lived
here.
•T. R. Burke—I have no reason for being
unhappy. All the big Christmas enjoy-
ments 1 have ever had came after I began
hustling for myself. 1 have everything I
need au,| ought to be content as' wi ll as
happy.
G. A. Slowcrs -Christinas will mean just
as mm h to me ns It did when I looked for
ward to It as a time for gifts, fur 1 have
children, i.nd there will ne a Christmas
tree for them. I am als» happy this
Christinas because 1 am n San Antonlan,

future.

Christmas for me this year—a mighty good
Christmas.
Saul Wolfson- This is the happiest sea
son of lh("year for mo. Though I've grown
too old for the Christmas enjoyments of
the young, my pleasure grows greater

because 1 have no right to kick.
Edwin Chamberlain I don't know that
It Is my happiest Christmas, hut It is a
happy one. I am gladdest because every-
body has a share In the happiness of the
season.
Marshall Hicks — Genuine prosperity
throughout the Nation, genuine Democracy
at Washington, and Hicks prosperity at
home make this Just as happy lis any
Christmas of my lire. There Is a maximum
of good feeling abroad, with as little need
as Ihe country ever knew. That's a happy
state of affairs.

because ray daughter and grandson are
