Its central location is espe cially adapted to this industry bel cause of surrounding .. forests of pnlp. wood. -" Another of the important in dustries recefitly established s the Valley Packing company. It packs about one hundred arid twenty million ' pounds 1 'annually. The farmers in the country surround ing Salem find a good .market for their' livestock. The Packing com pany in' turn" supplies many of the WesternOregon meat markets. Other industries "that play an important part are the canneies. The' largest' of these are i he Ore gon Packing company and Hunt's canney which handle large amounts of rruits'and rpvegtables. Salem'a newest industry,, which we believe will aobh W a leading one, Is 'the manufacturing of flax. These industries and others of less Importance are the source of em ployment of many people. In the last few years falem lias grown rapidly. Many people have come to Salem from the east, have built homes, and found employ ment. With the' growth of these industries" more people will con tinue to come. The country sur rounding Salem has proved excel lent farm land. There are many Orchards of prunes, apples, cher-; ries, and othe fruits. Because of' the abundance of cherries Salem is known as the "Clierry City." The.-;e orchards are especially beautiful on our annual Blossom day. Many farmers are engaged In raising livestock, grain and other agricultural products. As Salem supports more indus tries every year, farmers will have a larger market fo thej products. The amount of raw and of manu factured products exported in the last two years was very large roin pared to former years. The amount of money spent exceeded that of years in the past. All this growth of Salem such as building of pomes, increase in population, wealth, and agriculture is due to thej development, of the industrial plants of this capital city. JUNIOR CHRISTMAS r . STORY FOR SUNDAY . . ' (Contioned from pars 1.) the plains. Often he would fro out to visit them, staying most of the day with the shepherds. He loved to w-atch the sheep, to see the lambs at play and to follow them from place to place. A large Shepherd dog' they called Dar was a great favorite. Many a time Da vid1" ahd , Dar .guarded the sheep while the shepherds rested in some shady'- spot. Sometimes if the flocks were further from the town, David would stay all night. He loved to sit by the fire in the eve ning, when the sheep were all safe in the fold.' When the .eVer ning meal was over, the shepherds would gather about the fire and tell A stories 'of the neople. One always interested David most. It was. of the good king, whose name he bore, and of his exploits, wars and successes. One' night David was with the shepherds. - The walls of the fold were built of piled stones mak ing V good sized enclosure, and affording protection against wild beasts. A fire had been built, and they were ail gathered about, waiting in silence. No one seem- "ed"tb be ready 'to speak. At last Jacob, the eldest brother of Da vids' mother, said: "My mind turns tonight to the long cherish ed promises made to Israel. A King is to be born who shall "UNCLE BILLY DOROTHY DARNIT WHATCHA GOT IN TMC bo. CUSH0MS? g- '' -' ;sf '--:i . ' T : I I . , - - ,. rgop. ' ' - . . - - ' " - ' . ... i . . .

Jacob thenf wenf on to tell '. how the promise ' first made to Abraham, had been re newed from, time to time to. chos en.' men, and how a spn.pf, the house of; King , David,-'-. to which house or family they, them selves belonged, ; was , to -be' king oyer all. Israel. This neijr king was to be born in Bethlehem, ac cording to prophesy. , The; story had taken a long time in telling, but they did not realize the flight of time. Their hearts were stirred by the recital. As Jacob ended by saying that he believed the time, was very near at hand, they all responded with approval, con firming their belief in the same. The evening star told them that the night had well advanced. One of their number was left to stand guard while the others rolled In their coats, went to sleep. It was past the midnight hour and the guard was do2ing by the fire; Da vid had not been asleep. He could not get the story out of his mind. He was thlnkfng about the new king that was to come oorfl .Suddenly there was a flash of light. David saw it and sat" "up. The sheep were stirring Uneasily. Their stir aroused the watchman, who, when he saw David" sitting. was alarmed and said: "What is it David?" Just then a light broke out or the sky that flooded the white plain, as bright as noonday. The sleepers awoke with a start. They gazed aboitt therri With won der and a' we. There was a-faint sound of music coming as from the sky, like far distant singing. The light changed to :a great! flood of gold from east to west. Then there appeared a shining presence takins form in the light, and an angel was seen hovering above them. The shepherds were filled with terror and fell to the ground, hiding their faces with their hands' A voice said: "Fear not; for be hold I bring you good tidings of great joy. which shall he to all people. Unto you is horn this day in the city of David, a Sa viour. which is Christ the Lord. And this shall he a sign unto you: ye shall find the Babe wrapped In swaddling clothes and lying in a manger." The shepherd had nrtw fist-n and were standing, looking steadfastly at the angel, listening to his words. Suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the hea venly host, praising God arid say ing: "Glory to God in the highest. On earth peace; good will tonien." Over and above rang the wonder fur refrain, until the shepherds found themselves being drawn into the song; and though they spoke never a word, the song had seem ed to possess them in a strange and wonderful way. - The vision slowly faded away, though the after-glow remained, in the heavens. The shepherds said! one to another, "Come, let us go even to Bethlehem and 'see this thing that has come to pass.' Da vid and Dar were left behind to guard the sheep, while the others hastened to the village. " The snn was well up in the sky; when the shepherds returned. They came like men walking on air. They were singing and shout ing: "Glory to God in the high est." They repeated the angel's song over and over again. The glory still lingered in the sky like a great aurora. As soon as the shepherds took the sheep out of the fold, David hastened back home. When he arrived the village was astir with excitement. Crowds were coming ind going. All seemed in great Joy. Some were singing; others weTe talking as if holding earnest argument with their neighbors! David edged his way through the crowd to the old stable. The shep herds had told him where they found the babe. When at last he was able to get inside the door OH ;-OOKf AlR P.Af4Et WliH YOU a wmdrons 'sight'' met-'-ite3eB7; All, was. sHent .and peaceful with in. Most of, the people were kneeling. Joseph. and Mary were there, and a. tiny Babe, wrapped In swaddling clothes, was lying in the .... manger. A holy , presence feeemed to fill the place. He came up quietly and stood hy the xoan ger. .He gazed. down at the little jBabe,. which he had no doubt was the new . King of Israel.. He stooped and took up a litlte tiny hand and pressed it to his lips. He overheard Joseph say to someone standing near, "His name is Je sus." A strange feeling came over him as he looked into the face of Jesus. JTe turned and hastened away to find his mother. She and her husband , were in. the living room, of their little home. They jseemed to . be in great coneern over the events. that had taken place. There was no room in the inn,for tlie infant Jog, and the stable was not a worthy place. David insisted that hi own room, email though it was, and not very well furnished, Bhould be given to the little Jesus .and his mother, ahde himself would sleep in the Btablo or out wit h t ha shepherds. Bo it came about that Jesus ami Mary were brought up into the house and given David's room. They remained 'tliere as long as they, were in BeUUehern. It was there the Wise Men found Him. Thus David the little shepherd boy found room for Jesus trie, King. 1 1 Odd Accidents IJmb Gave Way Joseph Zipezaneski made the mistake of trying to rig a swing on a rotten limb of a tree at the .Suffolk county camp-meeting grounds, .lamesport.
