To a stranger the shy. deer-eyed
people are as hard 10 approach and

creatures OF the mountains. And
that is why il is so wonderful the
Sunday Lady of Postum Trot could
win their confidence and tell them
about Christmas again.
That was 10 years ago. The Sun
day afternoon three of the wild chill
dren, with the curiosity common 10
them and TO brown rabbits, came down
from Lavender mountain into the Flat
woods, that same Sunday afternoon
the Sunday Lady, who wasn't the Sun
day Lady then, but was Miss Martha
Berry, of Rome. Ga, sat reading in her
cabin den on a tract OF land her
father had given her just at the edge
of the Flat woods.
Miss Martha felt strange eyes upon
her and looked up, then rose with an
exclamation at the sight of three tous-
ley heads at the window regarding
her. There was scampering of feet.
When Miss Martha reached the door
the three children were peeking at
her from behind trees.
IL you have ever tried TO lure the
park squirrels to your side with pea
nuts, you know what a job Miss Mar
tina had getting the mountain children
into her. cabin. First she tried coax
ing. but the children only stared.
Finally she stepped back into the
cabin and reappeared with three rosy
apples.
This bait was irresistible The chill
dren approached fearfully, snatched
the apples, retreated a step. and then
as Miss Martha showed no signs Of
pursuing, followed her timorously into
the hut. They ate with wolfsh bites
for they were hungry. There is
always hunger in the mountains.
Miss Martha stuffed them with
cakes and apples. Then she
questioned them, found they lived

knew OF the Bible only In a vague
way.
So all that afternoon Miss Martha
told them fairy stories. and the chill
dren listened breathlessly, as though
fearful lest a breeze might blow this
great happiness away. Then. because
il was Sunday, she told them the old
story of Jesus and His love for chill
dren.

- ROME. Ga, Dec, 23.-Here is how
Christmas came to the Land That
Forgot.
This country. itself forgotten, is the
mountain region from Virginia 10 Ala
bama Here were left stranded pools
OF humanity when the streams OF
westward migration trickled TO moth
ing IS years ago.
Today there are 100000 people in
the mountain land. In the 10 years,
cut of from the world, they forgot
even the commonest knowledge pos
sessed by their forefathers. They just
slept and forgot like so many southern
Rip van Wrinkles. They drowned in
ignorance and poverty.
So the Land That Forgot is still a
land OF looms and latch-strings. To
step into a mountain cabin is like
turning time back a century. A single.
windowless room, strewn with dirt
and cooking utensils. squirrel rifle on
its peg, log rafters black with smoke
from the fireplace. Behind the cabin
ia the lean-to with it's ragged beds and
filthy shakedown.

AS to undeveloped natural re-

had adopted laws to prevent waste,
extravaganza and monopoly so as to
insure their economic and bona fide
use by the people, it was about as
far as the United States government
could go. He added that as to tim

when there are communities to serve,
who are delighted to see this go on.
These resources are not to lie idle,
imprisoned and unusable. If you
join with us in that proposition we
will gladly join you in formulating
policy of regulation and control
which will avoid waste, extravaganza
and monopoly as far as possible
But upon a policy of nonuse, of
of the great West, we
stop at the first call for legislation.
If strangulation is to be had, it
will first be tried upon some of the
in this body.
Economic use and development
should be the basic principle of any
policy incorporated into
law, said Senator Borah.

people generally take great pride in
the banks of Caldwell 1t is claimed
that there is not another town of this
size in the United States that can
make the showing that Caldwell does.
The total footings of the four banks
will run about two millions of dol

business for men living in all parts
of western Idaho and eastern Oregon.
Big sheep men, cattle men, ranchers
and others find the banking facilities
of Caldwell sufficient to attract them
and to hold them when once they
come here. For many years past, as
at present, the bankers of Caldwell
have been men of rare business sa-
