He gave me all the presents that he could. That's 'cause I always kept so neat and clean On Sundays .dresst just like a fairy Queen. I minded darling Muzzer ev'ry day; Was careful of my dresses when at play, And held my Gran'ma's yarn when she did knit. For that's the way I did my little bit And when my Dad came home from work each night I tried to please him with my tiny might; Always brought his pipe and paper, too, So he could smoke and read it thru and thru. Dear Santa Claus, in Toyland, heard 'bout me, 'Cause my Muzzer said he said, said he, "I'll just give that sweet and 'bedient chile The very things she's wanted all the while." So see this pretty, sparkling Christmas Tree And the toys and things he gave to me; When you're good like me and try to please Santa Claus will give you toys like these.

The road system as outlined and adopted by the voters at their last special bond election, Is a very com plete one, and the execution of the plans will make this one of the baet developed counties lnhe state Inso far as trunk hlghwaya are concerned. . ; THE INTER-CHURCH WORLD MOVEMENT To ascertain, humanly and statis tically, how efficient or Inefficient the rural church in America is today and what readjustments can be made, specifically in Orecon, machinery has been set up by the survey depart ment of the Interchurch World Move ment with headquarters in New York to make a study of tbis field, stress ing Crook county. Tn .(,..- f (.(- 1. 1H I Is John L). Rice, State Supervisor, with headquarters in Portland. In charge of the work in Crook county is Rev. W. L. Van Nuys. Coopcrat iong with these men will be represen ttatives of the denominations affiliat ed in the ranks of the Interchurch Movement. This survey is one of 2,988 which are being set up in rural centers all over the United States and the data from these points, when assembled by the first of the new year, will be the last word on the country church and its relation to the life in that particular community. All the data will be assembled in New York and later conferences will be held in the county survey centers to recommend action on the part of the local min isters and the church authorities with a view to improving conditions In their area and o solving the com-j munity ills that have been found to ! come from over-churching and under churching. Robert Lansing, secretary of state, is the chairman of the general com mittee of the Interchurch World Movement, In which the following de nominations now are cooperating, no denomination in the leust I a ng its autonomy or independence: Presbyterian church in the United States of America (Northern); Pres byterian church of the United Stat "S (Southern); Methodist Epscopal church; Methodist Episcopal (Sou'h) Congregational church; Disciplea of Christ; Northern Baptist; Seventh Day Baptists; Reformed Church in America; United Presbyterian Church; United Brethren; American Christian Convention; The Society of Friends; Moravian Church and Unit ed Evangelical Church. In addition to these denominations, still others are related to the Movement In var ious ways and are drawing their work closer to the Movement as their official boards take action, while ov er 70 denominational and Interde nominational boards have endorsed the Movement. Many leading cler gymen and laymen of deonminations not yet associated in the Movement are among its active supporters. The relationship of each it the denominations named to the Move ment is necessarily different from the others, due to differences in the church organisation. legal powers of te church authorities and other causes. The various denominations and boards associated in the Inter church World Movement represent approximately 200,000 churches. with a membership of 25,000,000 per sons. Organization of the Interchurch World Movement began in January of this year, the idea of the Move ment having been suggested by the Foreign Mission Board of the Pres byterian Church of the United Sates (South). The general committee, whose new head is Secretary Lans ng, consists of approximately 150 clergy men and laymen of evangelical churches and boards. John R. Mott is chairman of the executive com mittee. S. Earl Taylor, who was ex ecutive secretary of the Methodist Centennary, is general secretary of the Interchurch World Movement. The Movement has been taken up in Canada and the Dominion's i!it?r church organization is working in close cooperation with that in the United States. OUR DUTY TO THE DUMB ANIMALS IX CROOK COUNTY (Contributed by Mrs. E. A. Abbott) "Men at some time are masters of their fate." It's a pity that the same, is not uequally true of the dumb animals. unioi tuiitiieiy m sumtj uubos, iuei the sole masters of the fate of ani mals. Most of the domestic animals have a market price that is a p -Detection to their welfare. The poor horse is the most un lucky of all animals. Especially the small cayuse of little or no value in cash now, but, neverthel ss, he is as seiiitive to the pangs of hunger as the Kentucky thoroughbred. True, the horses of this country have suf fered for years but what man would say to let his fellow men suffer un- necessarily now Just because past gen- eratkns have hud to suffer? Is "out of sight, out of mind" d iv- ing these more than half starved j mals?

McCall Ranch ' LIKE, SNOW GONE ' While a week ago the country was in the grip of the most severe storm In its history, today the snow ia prac tically all gone in the low lands and signs of spring are evident, The moisture has nearly all gone into the ground, the thaw being so gradual and steady and snow hold ing the water, that In many place on the flats one will sink over his shoetops in the soft earth, water soaked for nearly a root In depth. The present conditions indicate a bounteous harvest next year. All the ground already seeded has received enough moisture to put the crop to maturity as hay, and the fal'ow ground has taken up the moisture like a sponge. CHRISTMAS TRADING GOOD IX LOCAL STORES The last several days have seen a busy crew of clerks in all of Prine ville's business houses. The shopning has been steady and strong for many days. The shops are showing a large line of gifts from the most practical to the more expensive and luxurious sorta. The markets for the goods that go to make up the Christmas dinner have prepared for the occasion by stocking all sorts of good things to tempt the appetite. Considering other prices, the cost of the meat for the Christmas dinner is not as high as in some other lo calities. Turkeys are priced at 46e a pound; chickens, 30c; beef, 25; pork, 40c. In the fruits, oranges are 75c to $1.00 a dozen, apples $3.00 to $4.00 per box. The vegetable list is well represented and the ever necessary cranberry is priced at 25c a quart. With prices as they are and the promise of a June day for Christmas, Prineville folks have many reasons to be glad they are where they are on this happy Christmas day.

There was a good crowd out to see the game. WRESTLING MATCH TONIGHT AT CLUB HALL The Masked Marvel, the myster ious wrestler, will meet the local man, Roy Anderson, tonight at 8:30 in the Club Hall, for a purse of $300. The match promises to be a hard one, and as there are a number of good prelimnaries arranged, it is sure to be an evening of good sport. ' that have come into our city to beg or steal deserving attetnion. Did I hear someone say that the owners of this neglected stock would like to find them and care f ir them? "Where there Is a will, there is a way," and I daresay that if these horses were worth $150 each tho owners would not be long in finding them. Crook county has made many strides in industry, education, etc., whereby all living here have had an ; opportunity to benefit. Why not i let man's most useful servant feel the effects or the advancement by org m- izing a Humane Society for the pre vention of xjruelty and neglect of ant
