Mrs. Bond will endeavor to secure a National Grange member to lec ture during the convention, but no definite arrangements have been made as yet. ‘‘ People in western Oregon are looking forward with interest to the meeting in Baker,” Mrs. Bond said.

Aunt Saphronia gave you a basket o f Christmas cookies, shaped like animals nd stars and covered with delicious colored sugar. Uncle Tom gave you a watch, and his generosity ap palled you even if it was the old turnip that he had dis- arded. You can imagine the reaction you would get if you tried giving a 1925 boy a second-hand timepiece. Most of the presents were useful, in the old days, in cluding a reefer overcoat and a new pair of shoes. As for “ houghten” presents, they were limited to “ The Erie Train Boy,” by Alger. Henty’s “ With Clive in India,” a New Testament, a sled, a pair of skates and that most wonderful of all old-time toys, tin monkey that climbed a string. At that, Christmas of long ago represented porpor- t innately as big an outlay as now, comparing earnings in the two perjods. But the gift itself was secondary to the spirit of the giver. Somehow everv grown-up can’t help believing the Christmas dinners of those days were superior. The Christmas eve entertainment at the church was as en joyable as the modern movie. And the ride in a cutter over the deep snow beat the auto-trip of 1925. F A K E W ILSO N M EM ORIAL That drives and movements staged by slick promoters for personal gain sometimes catch big suckers was shown in the recent collapse of a plan to establish a W il son Memorial University, in honor o f the World War President. \ Although many of the leading men of the nation, in cluding senators, governors and generals, had allowed their names to be used as patrons of the enterprise, with out investigating its real character, most of them have resigned from any connection with it during the past few weeks. It developed that the idea had originated with one A. Milton Petty, an ohscure government clerk, and A. Win- low Lowell, a professional drive promoter, working on a commission basis.
