Mrs. Edgar King probably holds the record for late garden products in this favored section of the fa mous, fertile, fruitful Willamette. For Christmas dinner she had toma toes that had been growing in her garden three weeks ago, at which time she picked them and brought them into the house. They were growing in a sheltered spot and some time beforo burlap had been thrown over them. As the weather of the past three weeks has been as mild as that before, tho toma toes would havo continued to grow on the vines had they not been re moved. They ripened nicely in the house, having been picked with the stems on, and more of them will be served by Mrs. King for New Year’s dinner.

Frank Jenkins Is Luncheon Speaker Data Will Be Submitted Show ing Affairs Here Not Con ducted Extravagantly. County Judge Barnard is prepar ing comparative budgets to bo pre sented at the Lane county budget meeting December 29 and will sub mit a table to show that Coos coun ty, although containing but five- eighths the population of Lane county and having about five- eighths the taxable property, pays its county officers much more than Lane county does and budgets larger sums for other departments. The judge’s figures will show that Coos county pays its sheriff $3000 as against $2000 paid in Lane county, the county judge gets $2400 while the salary of the judge of Lane is but $1500; the clerk re ceives $2400 whilo only $2000 is paid by this county; the treasurer of Coos gets $2100 as against $1500 here and tho county agent in that county is given $3000 out of the county’s funds, whilo Lane oounty appropriates only $2500. The county budget of Coos pro vides $35,958 for the care of the poor while Lane county has bud geted $35,000. For juvenile work Coos county has allotted $2500 and Lane $1200 and a number of other items in the budget of the eoast county exceed those for the same purpose in Lane. Judgo Barnard has prepared theso figures to show that Lane county is not oxtravagant in the conduct of its affairs. It is probable that the state legislature at its session in January, 1927, will be asked to advance the salaries of nearly all of the county officials of Lane, but as nothing can bo dono towards this until the legislature meets, the present of ficials w'll receive the same Salary in 1920 ns they have always re ceived. “It is generally conceded,” said Judge Barnard, “that all the county officers are underpaid. It is very difficult to got good men to accepts tho offices when they can mnke much more in other lines of work.” If any in Cottago Grove went without Christmas cheer, it was because their needs were not learned by any of tho several or ganizations that distributed the makings for Christmas dinners. The Salvation Army and Elks combined in distributing three auto moble loads of baskets containing many necessities and a few luxur ies. Sacks of flour and like sub stantial articles of food went to many and all received chicken to be sewed on the great holiday. The Masonic lodge distributed food and flowers. Probably other lodges did likewise. In no case was lodge affiliation considered in the distri bution. The churches of the city also made many families happy and convinced many little ones that there really is a Santa Claus. Con tributions taken up at the schools wero distributed through the Moth era’ club. Included in the contri butions wore 150 quarts of fruit, two 100-pound sacks of potatoes, three boxes of apples, other veg etables and several bundles of BUDGET clothing. “The matter!

Ho far this year there has been absolutely no sign of any protests, at least county officials are not cognizant of them. “It probably will bo a very sedate affair and wo shall bo fortunate to havo a quor um,” in tho view voicod by Clinton Hurd, county commissioner.
