Christmas Iona Aao.

Come sing h'le heigh-ho
For the Cirstnls long ago
/ When the old log cabin nontd us
From the night or binding snow,
And the rarest JOY held reign
And the chime roai,d amain
With the freight Ike a beacon
: Through the frosty windowpare.
All. the revel and the din
From without and from within.
. The blend OF distant sleiehbeus
with the blinking violin.
The muhied shrieks and cries.
Then the glowing cheeks and eyes,
The driving storms Of greetings.
Gusts of kisses and SURPRISED
Sing in again the mirth
OF the circle round the hearth,
With the rustic sindbad telling us
The strangcst things on earth
And the miastrel bard we knew.
With his "Love-i-er $50 true"
Likewise his ''Young House-k yarpenter''
And Loved Henry" too
And forgetting neer thing.
Lift a gladder voice and sing
Of the dancers in the kitchen
Clean from start 10 pigeon wing
Sing the glory and the glee
And the joy and jubilee,
The twirling form. the qIickened breath.
The sigh OF ecstasy.
But eyes that smile alone
Back into orr happy own.
The leaplng pulse. Tie laughing blood,
The trembling undertoue
Ho, pair US OF once more.
With our feet unon the loor
f'it our heads and hearts IN heaven.
As they were ia days Of yorel

What Has Happened
On Christmas Day

How many know that Christmas
day was first celebrated in the year
90. although not as a Christian fes-
tiyal until forty years after that date :?
1t was not until the fifth century that
It was permanently celebrated on Dec.
p. Many interesting events have oc-
Cured on Christmas, and many tradi-
lions cling to that day. They make
entertaining and instructive reading
for old and young alike, so a few are
jotted down here as we linger over the
"Walnuts and wine"
When Christmas comes on Sunday
It is considered a most lucky day. 1t
means a good winter and an unusually
fine summer. Should a child be born
on Christmas Sunday it will be ia
vored by good fortune all It's life.
Two notable coronations occurred on
Christmas day-that Of Charlemagne
as emperor Of the west I'm the year
800 and that Of William the Conquer
or at Westminster abbey In 1866. 1

The pilgrims, who condemned all
church festivals. spent their first
Christmas in America working hard
all day long amid cold and stormy
weather and commenced the building
If the first house in Plymouth, 1920.
1t is significant fact that no great
'attles were fought on Christmas day.
They have occurred on the 24th and
he 26th of December but the ami

GREATEST COTTON CROP.
Expected That 1911 Yield Will Be the
 Heaviest in History.

Washington. Aug. 3.-With the continued official assurances that the 1910-1911 cotton crop of Che unl- ted States will be the greatest yield in the history 6f the country, there is speculation as to it's total value Should the staple this year sell al the same price it did in 1910, he val ue of the crop would be approx mately s1,BOO,063,00O, exceeding the record breaking crop value last year by more than $1sO,000,0OO.
 Further ritimates today from the governments official figure of S9. ] per cent of normal for the condi- ton of the growing crop on July 25 indicates that the crop Will be T. 046,500,0O0 pounds or 14,741, ,631 bales of 47S pounds net weight. This would surpass the record cotton production year of 1904 by more than one mill lion bales.
 If the crop this year sells at II 8 cents pos1l the average price for the last five years, it's value would be about s20000.O00 below last years great value record.
