 first of the greatest festi- sais of christendom. The Christmas tree the gift giving. the candles, the aolly and the nistletoe have become so identified with our celebration of Christmas that they seem as inherent and peculiar to it as the radiant points 10 the Star of the Nativity, And yet lt is to antiquity and heathendom that we eve the customs we observe, the stock phrases We utter and even the mince pie, without which no Christ mas dinner is complete. The Ger mans, the Scandinavians. the Jews. the Romans, the Goths and the Saxons have all contributed to make our Christian festival.

Total Population Estimated.

Washington, Dec. 5.-The pop
ulation of the United States should
be oI,1o3,4oo if the rate ofincrease
shown by states of which complete
returns have been received and
tabulated by the census Office is
maintained.
Counting New Mexico and Ari-
zona for present purposes as states,
the full returns OF enumeration un-
der the thirteenth census have been
tabulated for 80 out of 4o, and the
District of Columbia. They show
a grand total of 66,3s5,I78 as
as against 5000, ,636 for the same
area in 1900. The states not yet
announced are Arkansas, Georgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Montana. New Jersey, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Texas, Utah,
Washington, Wisconsin and Wy
oming. OF these it it is expected
that Texas and Washington will
show very large increases and that
Georgia, New Jersey, Montana,
Utah, Wyoming and the Dakotas
will go beyond the average, so that
there is little doubt that the exact
grand total will be even more than
the present tabulation indicates. 1t
would not be surprising if the ag-
gregate would be almost oI SOC, 900.

WHERE EVERY DROP COUNTS
Yakima Valley Fruit Grower Couldn't
Afford to Have Rain Fall on
His Hired Man.

In the Yakima valley, Washing
ton, where the big apples are grown.
and bearing orchards sell at $1,000
an acre, rain is scarce Irrigation
is practiced everywhere. But now
and then during the growing season
a light rain will fall for few min
utes. These rains are highly prized.
for irrigating water is measured
closely, and served to each. user in
proportion to his acreage.
Last summer a fruit grower who
owns 40 acres Of orchard was re-
joicing in one of these precipitations
Of moisture, when one of his hired
men entered the house.
"Why don't you stay in out of the
rain ?" inquired the gruit grower.
"Oh, that's all right" replied the
man. "a little dew like that doesn't
bother me bit; l can work right
along just the same"
''That isn't the point!'' exclaimed
the rancher. "Next time it rains.

OPEN AIR LIBRARY FOR HosoEs.

William Wheeler Fippen, justice
of the peace of Penryn,, CAL, has es-
tablished library for hoboes in a
grove Of trees near his place. 1t is
believed that his hobo library is the
only one of its kind in the United
States. Books, magazines and daily
newspapers are supplied.
In addition to having shelves sus-
pended from the limbs of the trees
and cases standing against e.large
trunks of the oaks and pines, Ftp
pen has placed long table in the
grove, supplied with two benches
and several armchairs for the read
ers. Fippen has few hobocs to deal
with in his court, because they all
know him and respect him.

names of the names of the two new

This selection of names for the

COUNTY OFFICIALS
ALL QUALIFY.
FIRST MEETING OF COUNTY COMMIS.
SIONERS HELD HERE LAST
SATURDAY.

The county commissioners held
their first meeting here last Satur-
day. The commissioners are O.
!. Fett, who was elected chairman,
B. c. Ash, of Isabel, and c. A.
Flowers, who lives few miles
east of town.
The other officers elected quail
fed and their names appear in the
county directory which the ADvo-
CATE publishes elsewhere.
The records have not yet been
forwarded from Walworth county,
to whicl, this has been attached for
judicial purposes, but they will be
received in a short time and the
respective officers will take pos
session of them and proceed to
open their offices for the transac-
tion of county business in the reg
ular and ordinary way. The mat
ter of providing temporary location
for the officers has not as yet been
decided upon. The commissioners
are considering two or three places.
1t is probable that for time at
least, all of the officers with the
exception of auditor, register Of
deeds and possibly treasurer, will
arrange to transact their official
business in the same building
where their individual business is
transacted.
At the meeting Saturday, two
safes were ordered, also full sup
ply of record books and blanks.
The book and blank order was di-
vided between the Aberdeen News
and Brown & Saenger, of Sioux
Falls. -
The meeting was adjourned to
meet again on the first Tuesday in
January.

LAST SESSION 61ST.
CONGRESS OPENS
PRESIDENTS LONG MESSAGE WILL Be
FOUND ON PAGE THREE OF
THIS ISSUE.

The closing session OF the 61st
congress was opened at noon on
Monday. An Associated Presidis-
patch says that unusual annima-
ton marked the opening in both
the senate and the house, but the
reunion of old legislative friends
was tinged with sadness because OF
the heavy toll death had taken
among their number in the past
few months
The senate has lost by death
since the last session Daniel, of
Virginia. Clay of Georgia, Mem
cry of Louisiana, and Dolliver of
Iowa, while the house has lost
Brownlow of Tennessee, Foulrod
of Pennsylvania, Tirrell of Massa-
chusetts, and Gilmore of Louisi-
ana.
The presidents message is one
OF the longest ever sent to congress
being not only statement of pros
pective legislation but review of
what has been accomplished during
the past year.
The matter of a choice of speak
er seems to have settled down to
Champ Clark of Missouri, and his
entrance in the house elected fully
as much applause as did that of the
old veterad. Cannon.

That the mechanically inclined
youth may be encouraged to become
the aviator or aeroplane builder of
the future, the Nebraska Aero club
has arranged to offer three cash
prizes for the best model of an aero
plane made by a Nebraska boy I'M
der Is years of age.
The prizes will consist of gold
cOins-$25 for the best model; SIS
FOR the second and $40 for the third.
That the amounts are not larger is
because the club wants the boys to
build the models with the average
equipment which a boy has and
without assistance.
Arrangements have also been made
