offerings that mean much to everyday
comfort
"There is more evidence of the Christ
mas spirit this year than for many pre
ceding years," says A. K. Gephart. sen
eral secretary of the Public Welfare
bureau. "There is more suffering among
the poor than since the winter of
1314-16 and more families require relief.
but there are also more people volun
teering; to help than at any previous
aims tn our experience.

"Scores of organisations are taking
irom one to a doaen or more families
and are providing not only toys and
Christmas dinners, nut staple groceries.
fuel, clothing; bedding and other con
tributions. We are more than grateful
for the help offered, but many additional
families will be reported to us during
the coming week, and we are anxious
to have additional volunteers who will
agree to provide Christmas cheer and
necessaries - for one or more families.
The help of volunteers is particularly
timely because of the exhausting of both
the county and community chest funds
as allotted to public welfare bureau
administration.

Madonnas and Annunciations Are
to Be Exhibited by Portland
Art Museum at Holidays.
Christmas and Its holy significance as
exemplified by the Italian artists of the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries con
stitutes the major paVt of the annual
Christmas exhibit at the Portland Art
museum, which opened Thursday and
will continue over Christmas. .
The central figure of this year's ex
hibit is an original Madonna and Child
painted by Carlo Dolcl, a seventeenth
century artist, and purchased by Miss
Isabel Ollbaugh, buyer for Lipman,
Wolfe A Co., while in Europe recently.
The painting Is authenticated by Bode
Berlin, a recognized European author
ity in art matters. Dolci's name stands
out in a well recognized position among
the noted artists of his time. The pic
ture has the characteristics of the best
known work of that time, the downcast
eyes, the delicately colored flesh and
sweetness of expression or the Madonna
and the contrasting richness of color in
troducd In the draplngs. The frame is,
perhaps, as old as the picture, extremely
ornate, hand carved, cherub heads being
the motif, and the gilt and touches of
color are beautifully mellowed with age.
The picture Is valued at $5000.
Three additional valuable originals,
loaned for the exhibit by Mrs. Lucy Dodd
Ramberg. comprise a central group on

Public Market Is
Finishing Best Year
v In History, Claim
. That the public market has a
stabilizing influence on the prices of
green goods In the city Is the declaration
o" J. A. Eastman, market master, in his
annual report filed in the office of C.
A. Bigelow, commissioner of public af
fairs, Saturday. This is proved, he said.
by the fact that prices for. farm produce
on the market were on the average 10
per cent lower than those charged by
retail dealers.
The report indicated that the fiscal
year of 1921 was the best in the history
of the market, which was established in
1914. Approximately 60,000 farmers reg
istered for stalls during the year. This
Is 15.000 more than for the year 1920.

When Historian
George Hitnes was
10 years old
In those days the early fifties when
our great grandfathers wore stove-pipe
hats and Historian George Himes was a
mischievous 10-year-old, the Hotel Me
tropolis was the city's best hotel and social
center.
There men dreamed of empires and set to
work to build them into being. Within its
walls properties now worth fortunes were
traded for such things as shot guns and
miners' boots. ,
And then, as now Edward Holman &
Son maintained leadership and held the
confidence of the public, just as it does
today. .
