The earliest celebration of Christ
mas on I>ec. 25 appears to have been
held In Home In the Fouth century,
being first mentioned In a Homan doc
ument, the I'hllocnllan calendar, dating
from the year 854, but containing an
older record, referring to the year
380. Christmas was brought to Eng
land by St. Augustine, and kept In
5118, but It would appear that It wns
not established In Germany until 813,
and In Norway about the middle of
the Tenth century, by King llnkon the
Good.
The Romans of the empire used to
celebrate the birth of the Uncon«|uered
Sun on Dec. 25, according to the
Julian calendar, the winter solstice
when the sun began to rise in new
vigor, after his autumnal decline.
Therefore, the reason for the choice
of Dec. 25 for Christmas would seem
to have been symbolical.

Small Town Daily and Weekly
The story of the newspaper
published in the country town or
smaller city has significance for
the student of American society.
The influence of this class of
newspapers is close, constant
and pervasive.
When the paper appreciates
its opportunities and is judicious
ly conducted, it becomes a mem
ber of every family within its
field in a way that the great
newspaper of the large city can
not rival.
The small town paper is never
a product of wealth, its capital
consisting of the editor’s brains
and its plant, of copy paper,
paste, scissors, table and waste
basket.
The success of such newspa
per is owing chiefly to the cour
age and persistence of the pro
prietor and to the support of the
community. The loyalty of the
editor and of the paper to the
community is an asset to any
town and deserves its friendship.
There is a strong bond of in
fluence between country weekly
and smaller cities dailies and
their readers that can never ex
ist in the relation of the metro
politan daily and the public.—Ex.
Deer Suicides
Another sensational suicide,
caused by plunging off a 50-foot
cliff near the new dam of the P.
R. L. & P. company at Estacada,
committed by a robust buck deer,
was reported to the state game
commission yesterday.
The body of the deer was dis
covered, its handsome neck bro
ken, below the cliff. No wounds
beyond those attributed to the
fall were found. The ground
above the bluff showed no sign
of struggle or chase. The deer’s
footprints were seen near the
edge.—Oregonian.
Today and tomorrow are the
shortest days in the year, It
won’t be long before the length
ening of the days will be quite
perceptible.
