TREE BUYING SEASON
PRESENTS BUSY SCENE
Christmas Cedar and Pine Is Found Everywhere-De-
mand for This Necessary Accessory to the Yue-
tide Celebration Is Joined in BY Many

A walk through the principal stores of
the city tells mankind that Christmas is
but a few days off. but for a more
pleasing reminder of the Yuletide is the
smell of cedar and pine that greets one
on the city streets.
Customs may come and go, but the
beautiful old-time custom of the Christ
mas tree will. apparently. never die out.
and this year. as never before. folks
are scurrying to buy them up.
Christmas trees are 20 be seen every
where On street corners, in the mar
kets. and even to little corner grocery.
mothers and fathers. playing Santa
Claus to their little ones, may go fo-
the time-honored tree.
There are little trees and big trees
broad trees and skinny trees: trees that
come from Virginia. and others that
have been brought from far-off Western
States. The smell of cedar permeates
the air. and even folks that haven't
any little children to provide for have
a hard time not to buy Christmas tree.
Going through the market II is easy
10 spot the people who are having their
first Christmas tree. Young mothers and
fathers are az serious in buying a tree
for the baby who will probably wonder
what in the name of common sense the
tree IS doing in the house. The young
ster. not understanding anything more
than the most approved baby talk. has
no idea Of Santa Claus and Christmas
time, and won't have for a couple OF
years. but he gets the tree just the same.

and mother and father just know he
understands all about IT.
There is another class OF people whose
objective point is the Christmas tree
stall. These arc the people who propose
entertaining either Christmas Eve or
Christmas night. They are going 10 have
a tree for their guests and will decora te
1t with all the oid-time finery with a
gift for each attached. Groups of girls
could be seen laughing gaily as they
purchased a miniature tree for the
corner of the library or the diningroom
table.
While all the merrymaking is going on
down at the market ana along the prin-
a serious side to the purchase OF Christ
mas trees
Dispatches from Minneapolis say that

up case against her so that she might

For House Of Delegates.

To the Democratic Voters Of Montgomery
county:
In announcing myself as q candidate for
nomination to the House OF Delegates, make
the following statement of pri nciples withou t
reserve or ambiguity:
~ am willing that our towns may have
schools which will be creditable 10 them and
10 the county-so graded that all children Of
the town and vicinity shall be taught-and
that the said schools shall be Of sDch high
character as that advanced pupils in the eo1n-
~ may have the benefits OF higher education.
| am opposed to the expenditure OF the PEG.
pies money for these Institutions beyond q
reasonable limit, and am unalterably op-
posed TO that kind OF consolidation which
closes the school-houses that have been paid
for by the people who have children too small
TO go long distances. In every neighborhood
where there is sufficient number Of children
TO make the legal average there should be
public school. ID isa great injustice 10 de.
prive a community of the same.
(2) The present law by which every tax
payer 10 compelled to pay his taxes by jan
uary Let has made the old system OF collect
ing taxes unnecessary. One man paid mod
crate salary as Treasurer OF the COUNTY can
do this. law creating this Office and re-
ducing the expenses Of the county should be
passed to take effect Immediately.
~ have been and am opposed to pen
sioning. The giving Of pension 10 super
animated Judges is, in my opinion, an out
rage. Why should not the wOrn-out farmer
who has paid his taxes for years, and has be-
come unfortunate in not having competent
living, or the old physician who has cared
for the poor Of his community without pay,
be pensoned IL II be right to pension the
Judge who has been well paid
If in this statement antagonize those to
whose interest 1t is TO defeat me Il believe
that the will Of the people should be supreme)
] am content 10 stay at home. II on these
principles am sent to serve the people, will
serve them to the best of my ability
