PUBLIC RECOGNITION
OF CHRISTMASTIDE
INCREASES
The Christmas tree has long been
regarded the symbol of Christmas.
Many families, especially where there
are children, -would feel' that Christ
mas was Incomplete without a tree
decorated with tinsel and candles.
However, writes A. H. Pulver in the
American Agriculturist, a new idea in
regard to such trees seems to be creep
ing in, and that is the community
Christmas tree, which is set up out
doors or in a public building where all
people, both rich and poor, can ad
mire and enjoy it, and it seems that
this tree more truly reflects the unsel
fish spirit of Christmas.
The movement had its beginning in
New York city, but regardless of its
origin it is spreading rapidly, especial
ly to the small cities and towns, where
it serves to bring all people together
and to develop a community spirit. In
one city the tree has become a fixed
annual event, and each year a large
Norway spruce sometimes 50 feet high,
is set up and decorated with colored
electric bulbs, flags and other orna
ments. For a few days preceding
Christmas the bulbs are lighted, caus
ing light to shine from a hundred or
more places, and on the day before
Christmas a Santa Claus with a pack
of toys and candy, drives from home to
home distributing joy to the children.
On Christmas eve the children and par
ents gather around the tree and sing
Christmas carols, winding up with our
national anthem. .Other towns vary
the program somewhat, some of them
having the tree in a public building
where a Christmas party is held and
Santa Claus gives out toys and candy
to the children. '
Why not Oregon City follow this
growing custom?

should be provided for the barrel.
The pipe through which the smoke

Inches. The cost of the material Is

For fuel, green hickory, maple or
any hardwood should be used; never

kept a long time, when the smoking
should be continued much longer.

LESS TAXES CLAIMS
- SECRETARY OF STATE
Secretary of State Roger has de
clared that no less a sum than $1,500,-

next biennum. This is good news,
which will set the taxpayers to wonder-.
ing why this possibility has not been
pressed upon thm long, long ago.
Here is the proposition in the form
of a possibility: '
Cut off appropriation for expense of
fish and game commission, $30,000; ad
ministration of world war veterans'
state aid commission, $ 120,000; admin
istration industrial accident commis

PUREBRED FEMALES GAIN
Rapid Improvement of Live Stock
Brought About by "Better Sires
Better Stock" Campaign.
(Prepared by the United State Department
of Agriculture.)
When farmers adopt purebred sires
to head their herds and flocks it is not
long before the percentage of purebred
females Increases noticeably. This en
couraging tendency toward morerapld
Improvement of. live stock has been
brought out by the United States De
partment of Agriculture in the "Better
"Jinxes" Were Numrrous. .
A number of setwise pnssengers
aboard the-Adriatic, which caught fire
from an explosion on Thursday night,
said yesterday that there was a num
ber of signs attending the sailing of
the ship which wefe construed as
"jinxes" by the sailors. Among these
were: - - -
The ship lost an anchor In the Mer
sey; ,
Nearly hit the Holyhead-Dublln
ferry; w
The birds refused to fly aboard the
ship,
And " the explosion occurred very
close to the spot where the Titanic
went down In 1912. , .
The story is being told of the elderly
man who was nearly panic stricken
and when asked Jocularly what he was
afraid to die for, said in a shaky voice,
"I've been trimming people all my
ittal" New York Sun.
Being listed aT scrubs: More 0555
68 per cent of a total of 610,000 birds
are entered on the list as standard
bred. Among the herds of swine there
are very few scrub sows only 1.1 per
cent. Nearly two-thirds of them are
purebred.
This federal-state effort to Improve
the live stock and poultry of the conn
try has now brought In a membership
campaign that represents nearly a mil
lion head of animals and poultry.
Farmers who have become members
have sent in Interesting accounts of
their experiences in Improving their
animals and their bank accounts.
Other farmers who are taking part In
the work are Invited by the department
to send In their Individual experiences
as well as those of community organ
izations engaged In the improvement
of live stock. Definite facts and fig
ures should be included whenever pos
Use of Purebred Females Is on Rapid
Increase.
Eires Better Stock" campaign. Of a
total of more than 300,000 female ani
mals listed by farmers who have
agreed to keep nothing but purebred
sires, more than 35 per cent are of
pure breeding. On these farms scrubs
have practically disappeared. For the
larger animals the reports show that
only 2.4 per cent of the females are
scrubs and, of course, the males are of
pure blood as that is the basis on which
the farms are listed.
The poultry flocks owned by these
farmers are particularly well bred,
only 1-3. per cent of the female birds
Big Disease Factors
Dirty cows, stables and uten
sils are the prime factors In dis
tribution of pathogenic or dis
ease producing organisms
through milk. There are few
dairy herds In which there Is
.not a case or two of garget each
year. In every case Investi
gated during an Illinois survey
the milk from cows having gar
get contained germs which cause
stomach and Intestinal diseases
and general sickness.
Garget or mammltls is almost
Invariably induced by infections
of the urinary tract and uterus.
When a cow lies, down In dirty
stables and barnyards her udder
rests on the ground ' and the
germs become lodged in the teat
openings 'where they multiply
rapidly.
RIGHT FEEDING FOR CALVES
Number of Times a Day Varies With
Different Dairymen Tempera
ture Is Important
The number of times a day to feed
the calf varies with the different
dairymen. For the first three or four
weeks some men feed the calves three
times a day. This Is an excellent
practice, but many do not give proper
attention to the temperature ' of the
milk, particularly at nouw. This milk
! often given cold and it would be
far better"" to" feed" oBTy"" twice !T day
and have the milk at proper tempera
ture than to feed three times a day
and have noon milk cold. -
Value of Protein Feed.
Realizing the value of more protein
In the feed mixture for dairy cows,
more dairymen than ever before, says
L. V. Wilson, dairy specialist, are put
ting In some soy beans with their si
lage corn or are sowing the beans for
an emergency hay crop.
BASS ALWAYS A WANDERER
Fish Has No Special Abode, but Seeks
Place Where Food Is the
Most Plentiful.
The bass, both large and small
mouthed. Is a roamer. He Is always
looking for the place where the most
food Is, and is fond of variety. Tou
can fish for him night or day, as he Is
a 24-hour feeder, but early morning
and late afternoon are the surest times
to get him right
Be Is an active rogue, and continu
ally rising from the bottom to the
surface, at times jumping above the
water In pursuit of food. He changes
his home and. feeding ground as the
season passes. In the spring he Is
found In shallow water In streams and
rivers, below rapids and riffles, and as
the water warms up be moves to deep
pools sheltered by logs, weeds or
ledges. During the summer, he mi
grates to greater depths, where the
water Is cooL
The same is true of the lake bass.
In the spring he frequents the shal
low places, but later he goes Into the
weeds and lily pads. The small-mouth
lng In depth from 2 to 40 or 50 feet,
while the large-mouth prefers weeds
and muddy bottoms.
Mara Green as Well as Red.
A few weeks ago we mentioned that
an English astronomer had gone to
Teneriffe to make observations of
Mars during the planet's nearest ap
proach to the earth for the past 13
years. Mr." P. Byves recently sent the
following message to London paper :
"My Instruments have been Installed
at Izana at an altitude of 8,000 feet
The sky is cloudless.
"Mars has been observed at - about
the time of Its least distance from the
earth. Snow around both planet's
poles Is abundant The south temper
ate regions are dark and pronouncedly
greenish.
