Those who try to prolong the festive atmosphere of the pre-Christmas days see their decorations, their works of art which inspired exclamations of approval and reactions of charm but two w e e k s ago, find that Christmas decorations near the end of the holiday season look as forlorn and out-of-place as a summer suit in January The family Christmas tree, so re- tently the center of attraction in home gather ings, has lost many of its needles and lies dejected in the ash heap. But if the spirit of good will and benevo lence that characterizes the Christmas season could only carry over into the new year, when resolutions calling for temperance, forbear ance and restraint are brought into action, how much more worth while the holiday season would be. THE NEW STATE TREA SU RER One of Governor Martin’s last official acts was the appointment ot Walter Pierson to fill the uiiexpued term oi Rufus Holman as State Trcasurei W e feel that no finer man could have been appointed to fill this office, and we Iwlieve that Hood River County, as well as all ol Oregon will profit by the appointment of Pierson. Quiet, unassuming, efficient and pleasant, Pierson will go a long way toward being the most popular State Treasurer Oregon has had for many years. ALL IN A B U N C H Our holidays are poorly spaced. They really start with Independence Day, for that is (lie first vacation alter a holiday drought From then till Labor Day is .1 short lump, thence through the harvest, which, though a ny thing but holidays in this season, is neverthe less. a breaking point in the year s routine, theme to Armistice Day. to Thanksgiving, to ( Kristinas and a scant 7 days to New Y e a r s Day Then comes the long period of short days when skies are gloomy, when the ground is mudds when days are damp and chilly, with only the coming of spring to lend buoy ancy to human emotions The passing of the close sequence of holi Land Transactions T ran sfer* of real property in II ■ m I l i o n Count) from Decem ber i!l to Itecemhor iîM, n* announc- •'.I by tli«- Hood I t o e r Abstract A Invr.Intent I , were 10 follow* days in autumn and early winter leaves one with something of a feeling of relief, for Mr. Average Citizen is usually tired of holidays by the time the New Year rolls around. How ever, an occasional day of rest, relaxation, diversion or recreation is a Godsend to many a person, and there is no doubt that holidays .ire regarded as milestones in the work of the year. W e w'ould like to look forward now to some memorable occasion in late winter or early spring for a day s rest from labor. Whether it would be Washington s birthday, the Ides of March or the facetious Ground Hog s Day is no matter. W e want a holiday some time during the long stretch just to break up things a little bit. R & Nat I n , warranty deed, In reading over an item dated ten years ago that stated Americans were ruining their stomachs and digestive organs by indulging in the tooth some “hot dog,’ we wrere com pelled to line it up with a recent bit of hot dog news. The promoters of the Golden Gate International Exposition have figured that the number of hot dogs to be consumed, if stretched out together, will reach 273 miles. "This doctor, ten years ago, tried to take from us the best square meal a nickel can buy, but present day figures show that Americans continue to eat and enjoy them. So often folks find that what they like most is put on the "mustn't touch shelf, but it seems that the hot dog is still in favor, at least the carnivals, county fairs, roadside stands, and town "beaneries’ can attest to the fact that the stomach of America still likes its hot dog. Nothing seems to cheer the average fellow when he s m trouble as much as knowing that the other fellow is in trouble, too. From what we have seen of gas masks, it our belief that the Europeans may succeed in making war look awfully silly. is I Alt 4.
