LOOK INTO THE BERRY BUSINESS FORSEEN What are we to think of the person who refuses to answer the Red Cross Christmas Roll? While there , are some adults who are not able to take out membership,the great mass of Oregonians ARE ABLE, so far: as money is concerned, to become members. For those not finan cially able, there must be no criticism. But—but what’s the use? We all know that only the tightwad. and the pro-Hun knock the Red Cross! As' long as there are Americans under arms, as long as there is misery and distress, the work of the Red Cross must go on. Millions of American boys are still under arms. Thousands of them are sick and wounded. Christ-' mas will come and be gone twice before our soldiers are all back in America. Until the last one arrives, the pro- tecting arrps of the Red Cross will be . about them and their families. « o f m en’s achievements.

White of Aurora hands the Observer a paper, the “Hearth and Home”, printed in Maine 30 years ago, in which there appears a paragraph which says: “The young Emperor of Germany speaks of “my army”, “my navy”, “my people” “my Empire”. He has not yet said anything about “my earth”, but it may not be long before he wants it. It will be considerably longer before he gets it!” The writer of That paragraph was endowed with re markable visions of the future, or with inexorable logic and deductive powers. At all events, he ^called the turn” ‘ upon the actions and ambitions of the ' man destined (80 years later) to become the most detested ruler and arch criminals of the ages. As a small boy he ran away to sea and at nineteen was cap^ tain and part owner of a trading vessel. Invested savings were profitable and he sup ported the government with a five ^ million ^ dollar loan in the 1812 war. Girard college for poor boys is his monument. There is not much variation in these stories Stephen Girarci The Christmas customs in Norway and Sweden are the most interesting of any country. It is a time of great rejoicing. To show that there are amicable feelings between every one in the household the shoes are placed in a row at night in the hall when re tiring on Christmas eve, and, like the German custom, c&idles are left burn lng in the village windows all night to light the way for “Kristine,” who brings Ihe gifts. The Christmas tree is largely decorated with candies and pretty cake» arranged in bright-colored baskets—all usually homemade. The richer households send good things to the poor, and everywhere among both rich and poor are the anl mais and birds remembered. The boys and girls save up their pennies durin the year for this purpose. Sheaves of grain are fastened to the window ledges in town, and in the country the sheaves are fastened to long poles and renewed every day for a week, and many are the birds that spy this feast On the barn floors of the peasants bowls of hot porridge are - set for poor “Robin Goodfellffw” to comfort him be cause he has no “soul/’ The Cows and the horses share in the general happi ness by having a double share of food given them.
