PHONE 96 ALBANY. OREGON,-FRIDAY, JANUARY 2 THIS YEAR'S CHRISTMAS TREES No one who follows the papers can fail to have noticed how many accounts of school and church Christmas festivi ties stated that the Christmas tree used was a permanent affair growing cheerfully out in the school or church yard", or in some places conveniently near. -.. There is such need of forest conservation, so many uses for any wood which is cut down in the process of nec essary cearing, that there is a very general feeling of ap proval when the Christmas tree is left a permanent grow ing thing. . . , ,.... .. This awakening interest in the conservation of our ever green forests is most desirable, and right now, when the smell of pine and balsam is fresh in everybody's nostrils, it is an excellent time to further the good cause. If people will begin immediately to interest themselves intelligently in the Christmas tree business, to plant their own trees, and to de mand that those brought for sale on the local markets be cut under such restrictions as shall conserve and not destroy our forests, more actual good will be accomplished than by all the eleventh-hour measures proposed hue this year when the question will be not how the, tree was obtained, but how to get one for the celebration. o STOP BURNING UP HOMES The housing problem is one o the great issues of the day. All unnecessary construction was forbidden during the war, and now that the restrictions have been withdrawn the high prices of materials and labor and industrial troubles have tended" to reduce the amount of building. In many industrial centers newcomers are unable to get "homes to live in, rents have gone up, and the situation has become so serious that state and municipal commissions are seeking a SOlUtion. V -;r- ' ,.... Why not stop burning up the existing buildings, if there are not enough to go around and more cannot be built under existing conditions l housands of homes are burned eacn month, most of them through carelessness. U housing is so important, if homes are so hard to find why not.be care ful with these that we have t Apply ,re prevention methods; Be careful about matches, smoking, ligthing and heating apparatus and gasoline. Clear out the rubbish, inspect the flues, watch the shingle roofs. .Conservation is the order of the day, and if the shortage oJ dwellings will cause house holders to be careful about the fire hazards of their homes one criminal cause of that shortage will be greatly reduced. As soon as things quiet down in Fiume, D'Annunzio in tends to fly from Japan to America. And does he intend to hold America for the Japs as he held Fiume for the Italians?

STEVENSON RALPH McKECHNIE Auctioneer , Clerk Comment of tbe State Press Snappy Gleamings from the Press or the Valley A Happy Time Christmas in the United State demonstrated the fact that there is a plentiful supply of prosperity in the land, communis the Woodburn In dependent. Americans are surely spenders and aa a general rule they have great big hearts. The saloons being closed, millions had more with which to purchase gifts. A Bad Reason) A Parkside correspondent to the New York Times, owning 240 acres j and cultivating only 5, states that; there are ten farms leading from the I railroad to his house and of these onlyj two are inhabited by the owners. He1 gives the reason bad roads. Don't Worry. Mr. Editor What is the matter with us? What has become of our boasted resource fulness? Where is the man who will show us the way to a solution of our difficulties? If ever vision, and a high order of wisdom and courage, were needed in the United States, they are needed now raves the Pendleton Tribune.

A Day in'the' Shop (Resumed). The second boss comes in, with the foreman-, Betsy Ross, Mr. 31 ill and Miss' K. soon after. -The Stage is all set. Up goes tiie curtain. Mr. Hili and Betsy Ross fish the spacebands out of their piachines with screw drivers, shine them up on . graphite boards, ditch a fat handful of, yester day's copy and tune the linotypes up. ihcy throw some switches, sit down and their fingers begin to jazz anil two-step all over the big 90-character keyyboards. , Before the rest of the shop has got ten down to the grind Mr. Hill may jump up, looking a few unspoken thoughts; he says something about the dinged cold weather, and sets his old stove under his keyboard to warm up the 20,000 parts in his machine so that they will run easily. Soon he sits down and his fingers go to shimmy ing again. The copy-hooks are well-laden, 'with the Gates Items right on top, for it is well known that the boss likes to get the country stuff in the sheet first thing. The night editor has been sneaking around, and he has shoved out a bunch of copy of various Import ance, but which the gang regards col lectively as bunk, what with poetry (lleged); jokes,. and like dry material. It is a reprehensible layout, and the typos are tired when they first sea it. Betsy has bright day, tho, if there is any country correspondence, she grabs it all and sets it swiftly. She likes to note where J. P. Jones called on Marie Browne Sunday. It Is next Poor Harvard Oregon, Oregon, Or-Or-Or Oregon, Oregon, Or-Or-Or . Our Bust Bust Harvard.
