"Without or with offense to friends or foes l sketch your world exactly as it goes" byron.. Merry Christmas Christmas and the Christmas spirit which inspires us at this glatj season, have been the inspiration of the poet since "the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy' since Shepherds at tho grange, Where the Babe was born Sang with many a change Christmas carols until morn. But the customs of the Yuletide festival, which the early Christians adopted on conversion of the heathen of northern Europe and merged with those of the church, far antedated the latter, for in the ancient celebrations, England was merry England, when Old Christmas brought hla sports again. 'Twas Christmas broach 'd the mightiest ale; 'Twas Christmas told the merriest talc; A Christmas gambol oft couid cheer .. Tho poor mans heart through half the year. In those faraway medieval days J Tho mistletoe hung In tho cnstlo hall : The holy brunch shown on the old 0:1 It wall t And tho IJ a ion's retainers were blithe and gay And keeping the Christmas holiday. Christmas this year in Oregon is as mild and balmy as a day in spring, which is not altogether satisfactory, for wc are preverse enough to desire weather more in keeping with tradition, for A-t Christmas, I no more desire a rose Than wish a biiow In May's now-'tangled mirth. Nevertheless Let's dance and sing and make good cheor For Christinas cornea but once a year. Hoping that the few fleeting hours when the Christmas spirit rules the land may influence for the better the coming year, we wish all of our readers a Merry Christmas, so Sound over all waters, roach out from all lands, The chorus of voices, the clnsping of hands; Sing hymns that were sung by the stars of the morn, Sing songs or, the angels when Jesus was born. With glad jubilations Bring hope to the nations ' s The dark night Is ending and dawnhos begun. Itise, hope of tho ages, aviso like the sun. All speech flow to music, all hearts beat as one. Love's Greatest Gift By VIOLET DARE TAT HAMTIrON'S IlliXP Pat Hamilton nrrivod at Mary's rooming hoim, five minutes soon er than ho said he would. Shu was roady, however, and watched for hla car. "Now, tell , me what'n tho trou ble," he said as they drove swiftly up tne street, , She told him ; about the threats , Stanley Blake's, wlto had made, and her Insistence that Mary leave town at once. "' "Well, of course, she's just try ing to senro you." ho remarked when she hnd finished. "Sho doos n't Intend to divorce hhn, probab ly, but just wants to ,ho sure Unit ho won't see you nny more." "But I told hor mother that I wasn't the girl who'd been going around with him, but that It waa my roommate; ho told thorn that, too, but they don't believe It." "A woman who's jealous of hor husban won't believe anything but what sho want's to; I know that from experience," ho replied. "Now tt seems to me thnt the best thing for yon to do la to leave town, not because you've got any reason to fear what they may do, but Just boenuso you haven't boon very happy hero and you'd novor be, after this. "Why don't you go to Now York? You'd llko II, I know, nnd in a new place you'd have moro In centlve to step out nnd miike some thing of yourself. Thnt's tho place for you, and you ought to start right nwny " "But I haven't any money," Mary answered. "Vee you have. I'm going to take care of that. I'll give you nil you need." Mary shook her head. "I couldn't take it," Bho told him. "I aeked you for help be cause thero s nobody elso to who I can turn, but 1 can't let you help mo that wny. ' "Well, let mo lend you the mon ey," he urged. "Surely you'll accept it that way." "Not unless I have some hope of being able to pay tt back," she replied. "If you know anyono for whom I might go to work In New York, then" 'I do, of course, ho answered promptly. "Thero's a friend of mine there who needs exactly the kind of necretary you'd be. He n rather an old man, doesn't go to nn office any moro but ilocw a good denl of work at homo. Now, you could go to him ho'd pay you well nnd I'm sure you'd get along bonutlfully together. How about it?" , "I think that would be wonder Mnry replied. "I'd love to do It " "All right; that's settled, then. 111 wire him tomorrow, snd make nil the Arrangements for you to leave shall we say Saturday? Thnt would give yon a chance to look n round a bit Humlny and get used to the city. Then you could go to work Monday." "I don't know what I'd have done without you." Mnry told him. gratefully. "You've been awfully kind. I didn't date go to my aunt and uncle; I knew they'd Just scold me, terribly; probably they would n't have believed that It was Celta, and not 1, who made trouble In Editor and Publisher matter at Salem, Oregon Mr. Blakc family. You've been wonderful." Ho emitod and patted her arm lightly. "I haven't done much; not any more than any good friend would have done," be answered. "And you can't know how pi canoe! I vu to have you turn to me. I felt that you trusted me again. In spite of the things you thought about me not so very long ago." Mary flushed and turned to look oat of the window of the cab. "You've forgiven mo, haven't you 7". he went on. "I waa dread fully rry for what happened, nnd If I'm doing anything for you now well, plcaso Jtwt accept It a atonement for my hurting your feelings then, won't you?" Mary turned back to him and laid her hand In the one he held out to her, smiling up at him. "Shako ban da and forget It," he lnughod "And now let's go some where for supper, and then you can hurry homo and pnek. Satur day's only two days awny, you know." Mary went tho next day to tell her aunt and undo good-bye. She uiu not ten tnem all tho clrcuiu Hlnnces; merely that sho had been offered a very good position In New York, and that hor employer had lent her the money. Hamilton had advised her to tell thorn that rather than the truth, which would merely make a disturbance and would not do any good. "You'll have to lenrn to doctor tho truth n bit," he told her. "Sonic time n Ho is tho only thing that Haves the situation." Her aunt was frankly disapprov ing. . "Chicago's plenty big enough for you. It seems to me; I gurus there aro lots of better jobs here thnn you've over had," sho nnnounccd. "Now you come back hero and live with us again, and see If you aren't huppler than you would be gad ding off to New York." Mary shook her head. Even If It hadn't been for the trouble with the It in ken, she told herself, she wouldn't want to stay In Chicago. The time had come for her to travel new paths. And probobty .'die'd never have another opportun Ity as good as this one wns. When sho got home thnt night sho tried on her ono evening dress. wondering If sho'd over have a ehauce to wear It In New York. Maybe who could tell? Sho waa still wearing It when hor landlady came u Ma Ira with 11 nolo from Colia containing a cheek Even before she glanced nt the note Mary paused to. wonder where Colin had got enough money to have her own chocking account it a bank. "Donr Mary." Celta had writ ten. "Please give this lo tho land lady, so that when I send for my furniture tomorrow she will let It go. sorry not to see you again; I'm leaving town very nhortly." So Ccli.1 wan going nwny, too. "Not to New York, I hone," Mury remarked to herself.

I III THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON Salem Linen Described A comprehensive account of thu linen industry, "its origin and de velopment, with particular refer ence to the vicinity of Salem, is contained in the Kiwania club contest essay submitted by Loree liiirlwiin of Purrltsh junior httih school. His essay took first placo among the productions submitted by seventh grade pupils iu tho city. It is entitled "Salem Indus tries,' 'and reads as follows: Salem has many industries among which aro planing mills, packing plants, a paper mill, lum ber mills, canneries, tile and brick yards, a cheese factory, crcauerlee, woolen mills, bottling works, a flour mill, and bakeries, also one of tho newest, but it probably will be oue of the moat important, the linen mill. Last year Salem erect ed one linen mill and during tho next year a $GO0,000 one is to be erected. Several retting plant) are also to be erected. The linen industry is an old in dustry. Linen has been known as far back as the Kgyi tlan 1'haraohb. In the time of these Pharaohs of Egypt they didn't even have shut tles. Now the mills have meet all machinery to do the work. Here in Salem the fl:ix eeed may be planted and the plants puMed In 70 days. After pulling. It is retted in tanks of water and spread to dry. Freeing the fiber requires two processes. First the break-' ing is done by means of a wooden hnndlo and grooved board.

The flax is next heckled with an iron comb. The fiuer fiber is produced by repeat ed necking each time with a finer comb. As far back as 1876 tho Salem flax took the prize against all o:t- or countries. Thero will always bo a demand for flux or linen so long as the people use napkins, haudkerch left', clothing, tapestry, laces or aeroplanes. Flax is also used for linseed mi, for upholsteilng, thread, twino and cloth of various Kinds. Then the water of the rotting tanks is used for fertilizer. The oil meal, after being pressed for linseed oil, makes dairy feed, the woody part is used for fuel. So there is no waste to flax. Tho linen industry has made Belfast a rich city of 5a0,u00 in- habitants; also that part of Ire laud very rich with its water, soil and climate. There is no reason why Salem may not be a "Belfast of the world in the near future. SILVERTON GIRL BURIED Sllverton, Ore., Dec. 21.

The paved roads ,and automobiles of course ure playing their part in this.'' Toy Business Good It also has been demonstrated that the Santa Claus, without . falao faco and with real whiskers sticking tt his chin, has played a part In this, as kiddles In other towns have heard of Salem's San ta Claus and have lnvlegled or coerced their parents Into a trip to Salem for no other purpose than to see him. More shopping has been an Indirect result. The toy buslnes, one of the big ends of the Christmas shopping as usual, has been good, and most of the toy shops figure they will clenn up well. The expensive toys si.'h as nearly real automobiles nil similar things are not prov ing such big drawing cards this year. But real high-class Ameri can toys seein to be holding the boards and the cheaper stuff from Germany is not attracting the attention it did once. All told more expensive toys are being purchased in the aggregate, al though the real high priced ones aro not so much In demand. Toy buyers are seeking toys that will last for moro than one or two days after Christmas and indications are that they will go pretty well by the time the shops close to night. Manv Useful Gifts The clothing md men's furnish ings end of the Christmas shop ping game has fared well, accord the Proof Following the Prescription ing to reports from tho big stores. However, as another indication of increased population, tho returns Indicates the moving of large quan titles of lower priced merchan dise: For an instance, in one of the big stores 100 dozen neckties of a certain kind wcro put on at 45 cents apiece. Within a week they were all cleaned out and moro asked for. This Is a sample of wht happened In that grade of merchandise which is sought as useful Christmas gifts. On the other hand expensive presents In tho merchandising lines also have moved. As an In stance high priced blankets have been In heavy demnnd. The med ium priced pieces of merchandise have not moved so well. The hulk of the business in the furnishings line has been either the low-priced or high priced stuff. Business generally has been hot tor both in cash and credit lines. Local Fruits Shinned A leading grocery store reports tho finest business In its history. This class of business does not get tho reaction from tho outside trade to any great extent, but it confirms the fact of a great many moro people being In town on the local shopping list. One thing featured in the Christinas line in grocery stores sales was the vast number of Christmas packages sold for ship ping away, particularly to tho east. Fancy prune boxes, combin atlou boxes of nuts, and fancy packed fruits from the valley, all were in enormous demand in pack ages suitable for Christmas ship ping and enormous quantities of them were sold. The cigar stores are doing their beat Christmas business today, as tho box of cigars known to joke papers, comes into its strongest entrenchment as the last resort gift, when she hn,s oxhaustcd all other efforts at finding something suitable for him. But, the busi ness has been heavy, novertholosa. It has run strong to cigars and THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1925 pipes. Pipea have been In particu larly strong demand. One dealer had six dozens ot one type of fall ly good priced pipes which went in less than two days. All klnd of pipes have been sought for. In tho cigar bus in cos the good cigar has been tho one strong drawing card. Boxes bought have uveraged the two for a quarter typo, showing that the long 11 110 of humorists who hnvo practiced on tho Christmas cigar boxes, have had a good effect in their work. All told Christmas has been pretty good to the merchants here this year. And by the same token will bo pretty good to the thous ands of recipients. L0WA PEOPLE ON VISIT Sidney, Or., Dec. 24.
