Best Christmas
for a Boy
B DOUGLAS MA I LOCH
S ONli boy to another
for I have never wit ten
uver U'iiiB uue, although
I am gelllnx as gray
as a billy-goat around
the ears 1 want to give
It as my opinion that a
Christinas anywhere but
In the country la do
Christinas at sill
A city Christmas is a
make-believe, a hollow
umMv.y, a idlse slurin, au lmltutluu.
I have tried both kinds, and so I kuow.
A city Christmas bus all the tin and
tlnel, and that is all. lly the time
you get as old and feel as young as
I am, you flud most of Uie plate worn
olf.
Honestly, boys (and girls), I don't
think Santa Claus himself ever feels
very much nt home except on a rural
route 1 He has a mighty poor Job In a
bl town, Willi Hues instead of chim
neys, mid everything. And It Is hard
to see where he gets room to turn a
sleigh ami eight reindeer around, tiny
reindeer thoiiKli they may be. He'll be
pifly certain to bump into a hydruut
or tip oves ou u curb.
And with twcuiy families nil using
one Hue (and, what is worse, a soft
coal Hue at that) how In the world
Is the most experienced Santa going
to llm whtch Is Itrown's and which is
Smith's, and where the Greens live?
Kveif If he dared rap and ask (which
no gjiita Claus Is ever supposed to
do) nobody could tell hlim For per
haps the lirowns and the Smiths have
never "met," and the Greens might
live ncross the hall for a month le
fore anybody thought to Inquire their
nume.
For that Is one thing you don't get
much of in the city neighbors. Some
times when the woman ncross the
road keeps running In Just when your
mother Is cunning, or baking, or treat
ing a shirt-bosom kindly but firmly
with a flat-iron, your mother mny nl-
niost wish thut they weren't quite so
plmitlful in the country but she
wouldn't. She would miss them. Just
the same ns you would miss having
the same boys to play with year after
year.
For In the city you are always get
ting a fresh lot of playmates and
sometimes they are a mighty fresh
lot, too. Of course there are some
good kids, also; but It always seems
that Just when you get to liking some
fellow up the street or across the alley,
the landlord boosts the rent and his
folks have to move, and you never see
him again. He may move only from
one side of the city to the other, but
It might as well be to another state.
It Is Ave or ten or twenty miles
miles of houses, no, miles of flats, and
streetcar tracks, and railroads, and
factories and you never see him again
pr any of his folks.
The boys you know this Christmas
probably won't be around at all next
Christmas, If you live In the city. That
Is a funny thing about city folks:
they are always going somewhere and
never getting anywhere. Why, even
If the landlord didn't raise the rent
October 1 or May 1 or whenever the
lease expires, they might move any
way I People who live In lints Instead
of homes ore always looking for some
thing better and getting something
worse. They have the most wonderful
collection of rent receipts, but not a
foot of ground, not a roof or rafter,
they can call their own.
Now, I don't know what you think,
hut I think that every family ought to
have a house of Its own, a house It
lives In year after yenr. That Is, of
course, unless the foth'er has some
sort of Job that makes It necessary for
hltn to move to some other town every
other year or so. Hut It Is a great
thing to live in a home, pot Just a
house, and that Is about the best place,
and the only place, to have a Christ
mas. a real, sure-enough, honest-to-polness
Christmas.
M't of you boys who live on the
fa nn and In the small town huve that
kind of home, and I wonder If you
know how lu.ky you are? Wouldn't
you hate to walie up Christmas mom
lug and look nt the celling and renin
that soiiH"iie else owmil It, and then
get up and cn out In the front yard
nnd realize Hint someone el"? owned
that, ton why. you'd get so after
nubile that, everything you sow, you
would wonder who owned Itl
I tell you, hoys. If" a great satisfac
tion to have a back yard and to know
Its yours, and that you can Invite
people Into It, or incite people to stay
out of it. Just ns J oil please. Why, that
Is what brought tin.' Pilgrim Fathers
to America they wanted a spot they
could call their own. I don't say thai
It was exactly a back yard they wnnt
ed. but what they wanted was sonit
place they cMld play ball nnd nc
hneiiord of n king could como-eloni
and tell them to stop because thej
might bnnk nme of the myal win
dows. You know old King George did
come al-nc and try to mnke tlmm stop
nnd yo know what happened to tin
mva! window. Znm!
And then thore I" this mnttor o!
cno-.c. Too kn-w some people don't
think It is mw h of a Christmas with
nut snow. Now. I know quite lot
nboi.t snow because Tve b-en e
nnMntcd with a lot of If. I bav
trami-'d through It up In the Hudson
Hay country, and Pre wallowed ironnd
In It In the summertime on top of the
Bockj mountains. Ana X want la tail
rMtl3J I
SI
yon that then Is treat difference
In snow that Is, there Is a great dlf
fcrcacs between country slow and
city suow.
We may not bare snow this Christ
mas, but we'll Just suppose ws do.
Isn't a good, old lively snowstorm
great T Perhaps It Is one of these lazy
snowstorms, with the big, white flakes
Just Coating down like feathers and
slowly turning the roads and roofs to
white, like coat of good white paint
Maybe there wlH be enough of it to
make good coasting on the hills aud
good sleighing on the roads.
And, by the way, do you know
there are boys In the big cities who
have never seen a sleigh? ltecause a
slelgb la getting to be a scarce article
In the cities. You see, as soon as a
little snow comes the street-cleaning
department gets busy and sweeps it
np, before It gets a cutiuce to melt
into slush.
In the country the winter wheat
needs It, and the ground takes care of
it Hut In the city it Just means slop
and slush. So they sweep It up and
carry it away and uncover the ugly
pavement as soon as they can.
Put they let you keep your snow In
the country. When a warm wind
comes along It will pack flue, nnd you
can have your snow-men, and your
snow forts, and your snowball battles.
(Only please don't use your nrtillery
on older folks, or girls, or me.)
Or perhaps this snowstorm Is one
of the blltr.nrdy kind, with the wind
zipping around the house and piling
mm

the snow up In the corners why that
kind of snow doesn't senn to come
down at nil, but Just goes slanting by
until it runs up ngalnst something It
can't pass.
I remember being on a night train
one time; und when we woke up In
the morning, and the train was run
ning over the smooth prairies, u little
girl from a big city In western Penn
sylvania (I won't tell you what city
It was but maybe you can guess) ex
claimed as she looked out of the
window:
"Look, Mnmnuil The snow out here
Is white!"
I don't need to sny much about the
Christmas dinner. Hut If you huve
your Christmas dinner 111 the country,
the turkey perhaps Is one your folks
rnlsed, or that was raised 1n the
neighborhood anyhow. It Is pretty
likely to be n native, and not a resi
dent of n cold storage plant some
where. Or maybe you'll have a goose
or a brace of chickens. Anyway, you'll
know their pedlgn-e, nnd that they're
fresh and good.
And It will be the same way nil
down the line vegetables, and pies,
and everything. Ami cooked! cooked
to a turn Just long enough Just
short enough Just right.
And you will re than likely have
one thing that they won't have lit the
Christmas dinner In the city, because
you know the cost of living Just now
's mighty high, in town especially, for
both rich nnd poor. So you will huve
one thing that the city boy probuhly
will not have
Knough !
So I could go on nnd show yon a
dozen other nays In which a Christ
mas In the country puts It nil over a
Christmas In the city, hut I nm going
to mention Just one thing more: the
Christmas tree.
Of course they have Christmas trees
In the city. In New York tralnlonds
of them come down every season from
the Adirondack, nnd In Chicago boat
loads come from Michigan's upiier
peninsula. You can buy them for tlfty
cents or a dollar, nnd they make very
good Christmas trees Indeed.
I don't know what you think about
this either but I have always thought
that things I did myself and for my
self were Just twice the fun of things
I bought myself or hired myself. And
I think that especially nhout a Christ
mns tree. If you nre lucky enough
to be able to go out nnd pick your
own trw, nnd chop It down, nnd bring
lt in well, that's what I cull a real
Christinas tree I
Keen ue Hint Is really nnd truly
your Christmas tree. You selected It
with your own e;e and ehnpiied It
down nlth your own axe and brought
It home with your own muscle. The

TT THAT makes your community a prosperous one?
You don't need to do a "Sherlock Holmes" to fig
ure out that the industries of a state or community are
the sturdy oaks around which the vine of prosperity
twines. And that the successful development of an
industry depends upon the quality of the product
and a market.
Oregon manufacturers arc putting the quality into
their products; you can help extend their market by
asking for "Oregon Made" when you buy. And in
cidentally put more butter on your own bread.
