Fir trees are being cut from vacant blocks and along In the roasting process large amounts the highways. ( hie report reaches the Tidings that last year the top was cut from a lone, beautiful fir that stood on a block bordering Terrace street. Other reports are coming in that the beauty of highways is being lessened and destroyed by the cutting of the few firs that stand in close proximity to roadways. This is not in accordance with the true Christmas spirit, which echoes with the fa miliar “ Peace on earth, good will to men.” When you go out with an axe to secure a tree for the expectant little fellows at home, remember that only a short distance from town and within easy access of the roads are many fir trees whose removal will not rob your city and your highway of beauty.

But the point at which our interrogator was driving is that the retail price of meat does not reflect a drop in the price of beef on foot. There has been little or no re duction in the price of meat sold from the block, yet the cost of the meat to the retailer is, speaking in the most con- sevative manner, a fourth less than five.years ago. 1 lie heads of every household in Oregon are perplexed with the same question that bothers our good friend in Ashland: The farmer gets three and a half cents for. a dry cow and a week later drops into the butcher shop to buy a piece of beef neck for mince meat and when the meat cutter says “ seventeen cents per pound, please,” it is no wonder that he throws up his hands, or emits an oath that will not sound well in print. The housewife who used to buy neck for ten and twelve cents when cattle were worth more than at present, are asking the same question. Many are wondering if it is possible that prior to the war and the extreme high price of beef butch ers were undercharging. It does not seem possible that all of the butchers in Oregon would have conducted their business at a loss for so many years. Our answer to our interrogator is: “ Why is it?” HARD-BOILED BANKERS BEST Som^thei e aie who still think the banker wears horns. M ho is the hard-boiled citizen, the man behind the thumb screw? The banker, they will tell you. In the light of this illusion, consider a brief excerpt from the resolutions adopted at the recent Atlantic City convention of the American Bankers Association: the conclusion is inevitably forced on the im partial observer that the primary need of the world, is moral and spiritual regeneration as the essential basis for economic recovery. Until the nations of the world are a special kind of chimney, made from ¿pedal kind of brick, that would be big enough to provide sufficient draft for the many immense furnaces and ta.l enough to prevent the smoke and scales spoiling the atmosphere in the '•».•rounding locality. •. The result was the “big stack” of i- e Washoe smelter, which measures ¡5^5 feet from the ground to cap. has -« insidr measurement of 7S feet at The flues which carry the smoke to this big chimney form dust chambers, in which sulphur, arsenic, and the fine dust carried off from the fbrnaces which still contains a little copper, are collected. At the base of the “big stack” there is a cottrell smoke treat ment plant, which extracts, by means of electricity, all of the fine dust which has not settled in the dust chambers, thus taking out all injurious sub- Outdoors Baseball Bloxo .....................50c Puzzlepeg ...............50c Oregon Puzzle Map 35c Horse Shoe Game $1.50 T in k e rto y ................ 75c Flinch, Rook, Rummy, ....................................75c P arc h eesi..............$1.50 Building Blocks 30c to ............................. $1.25 Dominoes .. 15c to $1.10 Teddy Bears $2 and $3 Tinker Beads 25c-50c-$l Rambora Play Balls 25c Checkers ..........15c, up McNair Bros.
