WILL PUBLISH Them AGAIN
Applications for License Will be
Published Again, but This Time
in the Weekly Papers.

The city council held a special
meeting Monday afternoon at 5
O'Clock, the object of which was TO
take action again on the publication
of the application for liquor licenses.
These applications have been pub
lished twice in the Republican and
after looking up the law it became
evident that the applications would
have to be published every day for
a period of three weeks to make
them legal. To do this would make it
too expensive, SO the council rescind-
ed it's former action and on motion
it was decided to divide the applica-
tions for publication between the
Clarion and the Gazette. and to pub
lish them for three weeks.
The date set for hearing the appli.
cations was changed from June / Il
the 23d, at which time licenses vii
be granted under the vote that wa:
obtained in favor of license al tn,

Huron Il Hard Loser.

The Daily Huronite, speaking of
the intercollegiate oratorical contest
held there last Thursday evening in
which Mitchell's representative.
James Dobson, won the customary
first place, shows a poor spiri, of
craftsmanship which probably has
been more or less fostered by other
o~ratorical contests and a couple of
girls debates. The winner of the con-
test was not even accorded the cour-
tesy of favorable comment as is shown
by the following excerpt from the
Huronite although he impressed the
judges to a sufficient degree to win
the contest:

In the afternoon of Decoration Day
the Grand Army, the Relief Corps and

exercises of the afternoon were held
at 3 O'Clock. When the three Or
CARNATIONS marched into the hall the
Mitchell band played for them until
they reached their seats, and We're or
dered seated by General Wolgemuth.
The band played another selection,
II then retired from the hall. The
music of the afternoon was furnished
by the children of the third and
fourth grades, under the direction OF
Miss Jessie Walrath, and the patriot
ic selections We're much enjoyed as
the young folks sang with much spir-
it. General Wolgemuth had charge
of the exercises OF the afternoon and
introduced tie features OF the pro-

may be determined. In some cases this means long and
continued study and it is not at all an unusual thing to
find a committee chairman giving over the joys of the
home life on Christmas day to consult precedents and to
formulate arguments to be used for or against some pro
posed legislation, and to find him doing this in the Sc
clusion of a stufy Office room on Christmas day.
A good many Washington people, especially those who
came here from the south, go over into Virginia to hunt
on Christmas day, In parts of the Old Dominion fox
hunting is still the order of the winter day, and if the
fox is not in evidence there are always rabbits and quail.
while on the lower Potomac and in the marshes along
Chesapeake bay in open winters, the ducks and the geese
are fairly abundant. The outdoor life appeals strongly
to the southerner. and in many cases the northerners
who have come to the Potomac country have formed the
hunting habit and join the Christmas day outing parties
of their southern cousins.
Christmas is the great holiday of Washington. From
high to low the people make the most of 1t. There is good
cheer everywhere evident and charity is not forgotten.

An occasional Jersey commuter, familiar with the re-
ligious section of Barclay street, is commonly the only
sort of American in New York who knows a p1esepio by
sight. Yet the presepio is the sign of the Latin Christ
mas, as the fir tree is of the northern. The hanger of
the Barclay street windows shows only the inside of the

In the biological survey, which is a bureau of the de-
partment OF agriculture, there are many scientists at
work. Most of these men have spent a large part of
their lives in the wilds studying birds and mammals, and
shells, plants and fishes, to say nothing of reptiles. The
ONCE life is irksome to these scientists. They belong to
the free air, the barren plains, and the pine forests. So
1t is that on every holidy that brings with it a release
from office cares, they take to the open fields. About the
hills in many places about Washington on Christmas day
there are to be seen the little camp fires of the scientists
who are cooking their midday Christmas dinners under
the open sky.
Some time ago all the bird students in the United
States were asked, if they could, to make a trip aaeld on
Christmas day and to make a list of the birds that they
found. Thousands of bird lovers followed the suggestion
and are still following it. Each one of the students turns
in a report to a central headquarters giving the names of
the birds that on Christmas day fell under his obserya-
ton. AS a result of this practice the Washington sci
entlsts have many valuable notes concerning "out of sea-
son" birds. For instance, the report came to Washington
on a Christmas or two ago, that on the holiday four
hooking birds were seen and positively identified In the
fields near Boston, Mass. Other birds were reported
from other northern localities, birds that in the ordinary
course OF things ought to have been far south ct the Ma
