Baker.— It has been definitely de
cided to hold the next State Grange
Convention in Baker during the first
week in June,
1925, according to
Mrs. Minnie Bond, state lecturer.
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.

you had been tucked in bed— thick warm mittens with a
long cord that extended up through coat sleeves and
°round the neck to prevent loss. 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.
