Christmas a ChiIdren's F estival

Dr. William Savery, head of the de- partment of philosophy at the Uni versity of Washington, believes that the moving spirit of Christmas should be to make children happy because he regards Christmas as primarily chil- dren's festival.
 "Giving at the Yuletide is useless when it becomes covention and follows the letter rather than the spirit of the time /" said Dr. Saysry recently. "Ex change of gifts among mem bers of the family is good, but long Christmas list of forty or fifty people is foolish and absurd.
 GA gift is given either with or with out he expectation of return. In the second case 1 would accept tue gift as given in the true spirit, but in the first 1 would not send a return gift, even though 1 liked the person very much.
 "Ae for a Society for tbe Prevention ot Useless Giving, recept'y formed in New York. sensible people don't need it and if it helps fooli- people to be more sensible, by all means let us sup port it."

Greater
Humboldt


Organized for the purpose of develop
ing the agricultural resources of Humboldt
Valley by conservation and use of the
waste and unused waters.
Ten years ago, the u. S. Geological
Survey said there was sufficient water in
the valley to irrigate 10000 acres of land.
Today, the Commissioner of Industry,
Agriculture and Irrigation says there are
only 17S,O0o acres of land under irri-
cation in the valley. ~
The profits that will return from recla-
nation of even part of that extra land
tor which there is water will be very large.
This Is the largest and most important
irrigation project in Nevada, and about the
only large one left in the United States not
exploited. '. -.
The returns to stockholders will be very
large, and land owners and present water
users who take stock will receive benefits
not granted under any other project.
1t is expected that every person inter-
ested in the future prosperity of Humboldt
Valley, or who wants a good investment,
will take stock in this company.

"GENERAL" HOMER LEA

Editor Chronicle" Sir: In a weekly journal in San Francisco I notice a reference to General Homer Lea of the United States army, retired, and to his militar-- achievements.
 This young man, born in Denver in 1S15. has had ar interesting career as soldier of fortune. but so far as know he has had no Connection with the United States army or with any other recognized army.
 He was a sophomore at Stanford University in 1900. In that year he went to Canton in the interest of the Chinese revolutionaries After some nonths in China, with adventures not known to the public. he returned with a title from some Chinese secret so- ciety translated as Lieutenant Gen eral''
 He is the author of a brilliantly lurid novel The Vermilion Pencil" directed against the missionaries in China, and of a schoolboyish glorifi- cation of militarism entitled The Val or of Ignorance" in which imaginary schemes of Japan for the conquest of California were laid bare. This vol ume. like "The vermilion Pencil" is strictly work of fiction. David Starr 1911.

MERCHANDISING
 ON BIG SCALE
A Lot Doing in Ray-Kel- win District Besides Max ing Copper Shortage of Lumber Delays Depot Building.

HAYDEN. Jan. 7.-Among the many enterprises boasted by the town of Hayden there are none more noteworthy than the mercantile es- tablishments of the John Maclntyre Co. and the Hayden Mercantile com pany. Both of these concerns have erected substantial business blocks of concrete and carry stock of general merchandise that would do credit to any town of even larger size than this. In addition to the main stores located in the town Of Hayden proper each conducts a branch in that section known as san Pedro" set aside for the Mex ican population.
 There are several other brick bus mess structures contemplated here, and we hope to see dirt broken for them in the near future.
 Work is temporarily delayed on the new depot on account of short age of lumber. It seems that ma terial ordered for the structure has been delayed at some point and that lumber dealers in this locality are unable to supply material needed. We trust NDtl tue SlludNl'H VIII S'pli pt relieved, as there are few things that Hayden needs greater than adequate depot facilities.

AUTUMN SPORT,
BY r. b. Buckam.

The return Of autumn brings again
the "open season. the time of the
year when the sportsman Is permitted
by law to go abroad with his dog and
gun in search Of game. Now in a way
the motives which incite the "gunning
fever" are good and commendable and
easily to be understood. 1t is pleasant
to be in the open. and to get out into
the woods; and stirring. manly sports
of all kinds are always beneficial and
praiseworthy. But what possible sat
isfaction can there be in inf1icting pain
and death. simply for the sake of
killing! If the sportsman would but
stop to give this query more thought,
his tactics would no doubt be ma
terially different.
Not only so, but it too often happens
that the huntsman, failing to find the
quarry sought and anxious to test the
merits of his fowling-plece, conde-
sends to try his skill on some Of the
songbirds which he falls in with on
his way; with the consequence that
the farmer wonders the following
season, why his orchard does not
thrive as it formerly did.
The birds are most Of them true

FALL SPRAYING PAYS WE'LL.

After all rotten apples. pruned
limbs and other refuse have been
cleaned up about the orchard, the
trees should be given a thorough
spraying.
If possible, one should choose
warm day for this operation, so most
Of the insect pests crawling out to lie
in the sunlight will be exposed to
the action of the spraying solution.
Special attention should be given old
knots, rough and rotten spots about
the trees as in these places is where
the fruit pests deposit their eggs for
next seasons crop and at the same
time many Of these pests themselves
are harboring in these safe retreats
till winter Is over.
There are several reasons for this
fall spraying. It not only destroys the
insect pests, but their eggs also, which
have been laid.
After the spraying the trees will be
left healthy and clean and free from
the pests while they are developing
their next seasons fruit crop. An
other light spraying next spring will
not come amiss. but this fall spraying
Will insure the work being done-not
neglected next spring when the rush
season is on. and the field turns the
farmers attention from the orchard.

SCIENTIFIC FARMERS IN DEMAND
TOO MANY LAWYERS AND DOCTORS; NOT ENOUGH
EDUCATED FARMERS.

Stunning, and 1t is evidently an extrava-
giant assumption, that the proportion
Of lawyers to the population should
be as large as the proportion Of ply
sicians, 100 graduates annually from
the law schools would be sufficient to
maintain even the present crowded
stage of the legal profession. AS a
matter Of fact, in June, last year, the
number Of students graduated by the
law schools numbered 4,1S3; and this
takes no account Of the large per-
centage Of lawyers who are admitted
to the bar without having received a
law school diploma. II we place the
per capita need of a lawyer at the
same figures as the need Of a ply
stefan, and disregard all who enter the
profession without completing sue
cessfully a law school course, 1t Is
evident that. the output Of the law
schools of the present day Is far in
excess Of any necessary demand
TT Is certain that the demand for
lawyers and physicians is much more
than met by the professional schools
today. It is equally certain that the
demand for educated farmers is
strikingly neglected.
