A perfect day with the breath of spring in tho balmy nir, with golden sunshine showing a smiling old earth, with ()urpling haze fringing the verdure-clad skyline, and tho "peace that passoth understanding" brooding over tire picturesque valley. Soft, tender, little new-born green things are noise lessly forcing their way through tile moistened earth, with pledges of the flowered glory 'still to come. The adjacent lulls resound with the whistled melody of meadow larks, a joyous carol to the Christmas. Copious rains have cleansed from earth the forgotten luxuriance of summer and the multi-colored splendor of the autumn. Nature, cleaning away the old and preparing for the new, pauses to view her work. Expectant prom ise tills the dreamy atmosphere in this bridal ot earth and sky." Ho ft and brown arc the leafless trees, but the long black furrows are being carpeted in green and the hillsides losing their garb of seared grasses. The fields are -dripping with moisture and a tiny rill trickles down each gully. Streams long dry, joyously murmur brimfull. Na ture is preparing as she has ever prepared since the "morn ing stars first sang together,'' for the fragrance and the fragile beauty of the season soon to come, for the long sun ny days'of mid-sunmter splendor, for the ripening glory of the harvest. I f ever a day held forth the promise of "peace on earth, good will to men", that day is Christmas day in the Rogue River valley, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ten. insomuch as this' relation of rales was accepted by Mho O.
