THE YULUTIDE SPIRIT.
a'. Roseburg's Yuletide spirit is greatly enhanced by the
adornment of its business streets with Christmas trees in
common with iiation-wide custom. Trees are also finding
their way into scores of local homes, as evidenced by the
brisk trade which vendors are enjoying. And these latter
trees will doubtless be well laden with things that gladden
the human heart, not only in attestation of the affection that
inspires their giving, but as becomes a community, such as
purs, appreciative of its commercial prosperity and of its
w ell-being generally. ; .'-, f r
The usual prominent part which trees will play in this
yar's Christmas celebration the country over is indicated
by an Associated Press dispatch saying that the nation's bill
for trees will be about $5,000,000. Growing of trees for the
holiday season has become a large industry in the United
States, The necessity for careful regulation of the industry
is! recognized by the American Tree Association, which has
issued the following advice : i . ''" ;-' .-;'
,'.; . "Cut your Christmas trees properly for conservation is
wise. This when done properly means a thinning which the
forest needs. Properly gathered for the market these trees
do not represent a drain upon our forest resources." i
J';! The Nature Association agrees with Prof, Woodbridge
Metcalf of the School of Forestry of the University of Cali
fornia, who, says: ) ". ; ' ' '."f ; ;
UV. 'Because of the wastage and' an exaggerated notion of
tlie influence of Christmas tree cutting on the future sup
plies of timber for the nation some well intentioned but mis
guided individuals Jiaye,, in recent, years urged that -the cut-'
ting of Christinas trees be prohibited by layyor at least

I;; - Every community ;has Its quota of knockers', and very
jtew business concerns escape the - mouthings of these de
testable individuals, -frho seem to direct a large part of their
energies in attempting to discredit legitimate concerns for
no good reason whatever. An example of the efforts of one
of. these parasites was called to tlie attention of this paper
today wherein the statement .was made to a leading automo
bile concern in reference to its policy of advertising and why
it "wasted money" on. newspaper space. Of ' course, this
Statement is taKen lor what It is worth, but it does show
that when these fellows are unablo to coerce this paper into
championing questionable enterprises' for private gafnjthey

always a day of reckoning, however, for these dubs. " 4

r How They Succeeded.
Last year California grape grow
ers with a ?30,000,OUO crop were
compelled to acknowledge a loss.
There was an unfortunate market
condition. There was the general
handicap which the business of
the country loads on tho farmer.
Hut there is also said to have
been a lack of organization;
Ralph P. ' Meri'ltt, who has
brought cooperative marketing in
Southern California to its most
conspicuous success, , says there
were wastes enougli In the mar
keting of the grapes to have turn
ed the losses into profit.
lie is also author of the state
ment that producers in their own
regions should bo organized more
for the Bake of rendering a service
to themselves , than for the suite
of mere merchandising. There are
aids to production which they can
commund, if organized. There are
facilities offered by government
departments and business. There
Is car ' service by tho railroads.
There Is study to rovoal active
markets mid glutted markets.
There are Questions of rates and
commissions. .
Wherever farmers are nutting
agriculture on a solid basis they
mo found also to bo organizing
on a solid basis. It the, prune
growers of the Pacific Northwest
hud boon orgnnized for mutual

crime, among the green fields of the west, the fields where
corn is grown the best. The learned professors wring their
hands and stand around in wailing bands. , They cannot
think up any plan to stop the deadly caravan, but still they
struggle day and night to circumvent his threatened plight,
and if they fail disaster black will fall upon the farmer's
shack. A few more years, say, four or five, there'll be no
western corn alive. We talk of grief at each reverse, and all
our miseries rehearse; but if we'd see unleavened woe, we to
the husbandman must go. Good luck should always walk

HONOR ROLL FOR
E
Nationally Known Adver
tising 'Company Writes ,
. Letter of Appreciation
to Management.
A newspaper likes to get bou
quets, not only flowers, but verbal
or written bouquets as well. There
ure always numerous critics; those
who can tell how things ought to
'be dose, or have some complaint
to offer, so that it is a real pleas
nro when some person or group of
persons come forward with an ex
pression of appreciation or grati
tude. Particularly is this true when
the persons happen to be a group
of advertisers who are pleased by
services given. The whole day
started off right for the News-Review
today when a letter of appre
ciation was received from the firm
of lirwln," Wasey and Company, a
nationally known advertising firm
of Chicago. This firm handles ad
vertising campaigns for some ot
the largest companies of the coun
try, and the fact that the News-Review
has been accepted by that
concern for a place on its honor
roll brings about great pleasure to
the management of this paper. The
letter addressed to the News-Review
is as follows: -I
"It is a pleasure lndoed to write
and thank you for the excellent
manner in which you have handled

"It also pleases us to record your

loted their advertisements.
. "This honor roll is an important
factor with us in placing new
schedules. and also to some extent
governs the size of the campaign
assigned to each publication.
"With the season's greetings and
on behalf of our clientB as well as
ourselves accept our thanks.

Certified Soed Potatoes!!?'
There is considerable demand
for certified seed potatoes and in
quiries come to the State Market
Agent where such stock can be
bought. Many of the county
agents report there are no stocks
in tneir counties. - v
; Sheep Industry $11,000,000
There are two million Bheep in
Oregon, the average clip Is nine
pounds and the annual return is
$11,000,000. This Is ah outstand
ing industry of tho state. The
finer wooIb comprise about 25 per
cent of the production and they
are shipped east, while the coai-Ber
wools are manufactured in the
northwest. The loss ot sheep
from ' coyotes and other animals
is large in eastern Oregon, east
ern 'Washington' land- In I.rho,
running as high, as ten per cent
in sonio sections.
Paradoxical But True.
A bountiful crop of a valuable
agriculttual product menus mis
fortune rather than prosperity to
the producer these days. A half
crop means more money and less
labor. This fact is being vividlv
illustrated in the cotton localities
of tlie south. In 1920 cotton was
well controlled by the Belling
agencies of . tlie south,, and the
price went as high us 46 cents.
This price lncouragcd greater pro
duction and as a result in 1923
the price went down to 36 cents.
and in 1925 five million hales wore
carried over tu the hope ot hold
ing the market steady, mid when
this carry-over went onto the mar
ket this year with the big produc
tion of the year, the market weut
to pieces with the glut and tlie
price down to 13 cents. Now the
south is considering legislation to
compol curtailment of fifty per
cent and the merchants and the
bankers organizations uio out to
control future production by deny
ing credit to planters unless they
will agree to cut down tho acreage
aid ugroe to Increitso the acreage
of food and ' feed.
Carl Vrooman's Plan.
Carl Vroonian, former assistant
secretary of agriculture, in a re
cent speech in Washington said
that unless some means is brought
about to guarantee fair financial
returns to the farms tho younger
generation will disappear from
agriculture. His plan is a non
partisan political merger of all" of
the existing farm organizations to
force legislation to give farming
the same guaiantee that railroads
and other public utilities get Mr.
Vroomau quoted figures from the
Department of Agriculture show
ing tho "colossal proportion of the
agricultural catastrophe." In 1920
the total value of the farmers' pro
ducts shrunk over $3,0110,000; in
1921 nearly $S,000.000,000 and in
1923 over $3,000,000,000 below the
1919 level or a total shrinkage ot
$24,000,000,000.

GLOSSY HAIR
You can do a lot for dull hair
by brushing it, and a lot for dead
looking hair by -this method in
vigorating massage of the scalp.
For the runuing of moderately stiff
bristles over the skin in a most
beneficial massage, at once cleans
ing and stimulating.
So brush and brush If you want
glossy hair. , And if your hair
I goes oily quickly, and apparently
goes oily more quickly as the re
sult of the frequent brushing, do
not 'discontinue this very good
habit. Simply, between shampoos,
sprinkle the hair with powdered
orris and brush and brush and
brash brushing out the powder,
leaving 'the hair clean and soft
and lustrous, and giving your
scalp another massage.
I'd suggest ten minutes vigorous
brushing a day. It will make the
hair grow thicker and longer, tho
if you're bobbed you may not
relish the -idea of hair growing
long at. a vory fast rate! It will
help do away with', dandruff;
that's the plague of .more than
half of' us.
Blame your felt hat, or recent
neglect of your hair, or anything
else, if ' your hair goeB oily very

'.'Tell nie.how to install a new:
maid," writes "Young Housekeep
er." This Reader Friend's letter!
continues: "I have attended cook-d
ins cmsBBs ana tne young maia
who is coming to me cannot cook;
so I shall have the satisfaction of
teaching her to do things my way.
But I am a little at sea about get
ting her started."
There are two ways ot going
about, installing a maid: One way
is to tell her everything all at
once, thereby discouraging her and
probably losing her. The other
way is to teach her things gradu
ally and keep her.'
I believe that if housekeepers
would not expect perfection of the
assistants in their kitchens, they
would not find it so difficult to get
a maid. Another mistake ' they
make is to expect twelve-dollar ef
ficiency from a ten-dollar maid. A
girl who cannot cook naturally does
not make as much money as the
thoroughly competent maid, and, on
the other hand, her employer
should not expect too much from

ONE WAY TO EXPRESS THANKSGIVING
Allhouph the custom of setting
aside a day for general thanksgiv
ing was not started until many
years after the good old philo
sopher Epictetus died, he uttered
one of the most beautiful thanks
giving proclamations that was
ever given to th world. It is thlst
"Whether digging or plowing or
eatingi should we not sing the
nyinn to God:
ureat is God, for that He has
given us Instruments to till
the ground withal:
Great is God, tor that He lialh
given us hauds, and the power
ot smaiiowing and digesting;
of unconsciously growing and
breathing while we sleep!
Great is God, Tor that He hath
given us a mind to apprehend
these things, and duly to use
them!"
Thanksgiving Is now past and
gone and today I want to show you
as 1 did last year, a way in which
you can keep alive your expression
of thanksgiving. After Thanksgiv
ing Day each year the National
Tuberculosis Association starts the
Christmas stamp sale. I want
you to resolve that, tomorrow, you
will buy your quota of the little
anti-tuberculosis stamps. I shall
hope to see each one of the thous-;
auds of letters I shall receive, ex-i
