Whether you spend Christmas at home or far away from those you love, one of the best solutions of
the gift problem is a present of fresh Cowers or a plant. If you are away you can ask your florist to
telegraph your selection. The girl in the white wool coat, left, wears in her hair a corsage of frag
rant gardenias surrounded with poinsettia petals and gilded leaves. A shower of tiny Christmas bells
attached to the blossoms is a new idea, and a matching corsage is pinned on her evening bag. For
the smart young hostess, you might select a flowering plant, like the gardenia plant back of the model
below, with a corsage for her to wear see Tight while receiving her guests. Below Is a charming
and romantic corsage of sweetheart! roses, carrtations and bouvardia with a frill of fragrant geranium

Land Leased
For Dump
LEBANON A problem that
"Kas been worrying the city fath
ers for the last 10 years has been
solved, for a time at least. The
Crown-Willamete has agreed to
allow the city to use a tract of
land belonging to the company
Just outside of the city limits
north of town on the west side
I of the river, for use as a city
dump.
I This tract of about 50 acres is
off the highway and is not near
enough the river to pollute the
Streams, as the old dump has
been doing.
This solution of the problem is
not final as the company is giving
only a year's lease for the con
sideratlon of one dollar. It is said
there is a growing sentiment ex
pressed in favor of an incinerator
but the council agrees that the
cost would be too much. .: .
