der where so many trees come from.
In the larger cities of Iowa the
weather. families will use nursery
trees grown in northern Iowa.
But the most Of the trees that will
be used are shipped from the pine
forests in the northern part Of Mich
igan, Wisconsin and Maine. They are
gathered costly by the Indians, who
live in these regions. It is claimed
that the white men will not wade
through the deep snow anu endure
the cold that is necessary in these
cold regions, in order to get the best
Of the trees, which grow in the heart
of the forests.
Gathered by Indians.
The small evergreens that are used
for wreaths, ETC., and known to the
florists as bouquet green, come from
the same region, and are gathered
very much in the same way, and prac-
tically altogether by the Indians. This
is a sprOut that comes up very thick
all over the ground under the pine
trees. They are about 10 or II inches
long and are entirely covered; with
snow nearly all winter. It., is getting
to be very dangerous business
though, on account of the increasing
number of hunters in the north. Al
ready this year there have been near
ly dozen people killed by hunters
while they were gathering the ever
green and the trees. Tie people are
getting afraid to make this a bust
ness. Consequently decorations of
this kind are about 80 per cent high
er this year than in former years.
Holly Scarce This Year.
Holly, another one Of the Christmas
evergreens, is rather scarce this year,
on account of the poor crop in the
east. Most of the holly that is used
in the United States comes from Della
ware, Maryland anu northern Vir-
GINA. But the crop in this part OF
the country is very poor, so most OF
te holly that is used It's year will
have to come from the south, mostly
from the mountain lands OF Tennessee.
This is reported as being about 10
per cent higher than last year, owing
to the poor crop in the largest pro-
ducing districts.
Mistletoe, that ever-pOpular friend
and nerve stimulus Of the bashfn] low
er, is very plentiful this year all over
the south. 1t is parasite that grows
upon trees, very often sapping the
life out of the tree or shrub on which
it grows. The price of mistletOe is
about the same this year as in former
years.
Partly because of the scarcity of
holly and other decorations, the wild
smilax is being used quite extensively
this year. Almost all Of this plant that
is used in this country comes from
very small territory in the central
part of Mississippi.

Curious Christmas Superstition.

On Christmas eve, at midnight, cOun-
try people in England believe that the
Christ child revisits the earth. Some
times, therefore, if there is sick
child in the house, the mother will
take the little one to the door, just
before midnight, and wait till the hour
strikes. If the child RECEIVERS, it is
because the Babe of Bethlehem has
touched it with healing fingers during
the earthward journey. But if the
child sickens and dies, all is we'll, for
the mother heart is comforted by the
thought that the little one was called
by the Christ child to be his play
mate" in heaven.

never get Lincoln highway nor

expense can be amortized by means of

never have had court houses OF stone

The reorganization plan adopted
came as compromise which reflect
ed the views of many committeeman
that southern representation should
be reduced, but not brought to the van
ishing point lie reads as follows:
confident that the action of this
committee, representing as it does
practically the unanimous sentiment
of the republican electors of the state
will be ratified by the republican cleo
tors of the states,
BE 1t Resolved: That this commit
tee shall issue a call for the national
convention to be held in 1916, to NOM
mate candidates for president and
vice president in accordance with the
following basis of representation.
Each state shall be entitled in such
convention to four delegates at large;
one delegate at large for each repre-
sentative in congress at large from
any state; one delegate from each
congressional district; an additional
delegate from each congressional dis
trict in which the vote either for re-
publican presidential electors in 1908,
or in 1914, shall not have been less
than $500, and that for each delegate
chosen an alternate delegate shall be
chosen in the same manner and at
the same time to act in the absence
of the delegate.
"Provided, however, that the above
basis of representation shall not be
made the basis of the call for the ma
tional convention to be held in the
year 1916, unless prior to Jan. l. 1915,
republican state conventions held un-
der the laws of the states, or called
by the republican state committees
of the state in such number of states
as are entitled to cast a majority OF
the votes in the present electoral col
lege shall ratify the action of this
committee in respect to determining
this basis of representation
How the Vote Stood.

According to the figures submitted
by the subcommittee, the new plan
would reduce the total number OF del

The Giving of Gifts

IF one is going to give a
Christmas present it should
- be with a cheerful heart. If
you can't give in this spirit do
not give at all. We give pres
ents to our friends at Christmas
because they are our friends
and because we derive pleasure
from such giving. In the giving
of Christmas presents there
should be none of that spirit
which suggests commercialism.
There should never be any ex-
pectation of reciprocity. The
giving of a Christmas present
should be from the heart. The
present itself counts for little.
The spirit and motive which
prompt the giving are all i'm
pOrtant.

some of the old-old Christmas Gus
toms observed and loved by many ma
tons. But there are other customs
of a personal nature which endear
the name of Christmas to us.
Do you have the magic of family
Christmas custom in your home? 1t
may be a national custom reaching
back into the old world where your
family began or it may be some little
family activity repeated every year
which becomes the conveyor of Christ
mas home feelings as nothing else can.
l know of one family, for instance,
who have for generations had the Gus
tom of singing Christmas carols on
Christmas eve. Now scattered through
many states and under many roof
trees the members of this family OBJ
serve that pretty custom and in do
ing so recall early memories of Christ
mas and of home. And after all, half
the joy of Christmas which so en-
dears it to our hearts are the mem
cries which cluster around those dear
old customs:
OUR MEMORIES
Drink now to those who in our youth,
BedecKed our little trees with toys,
And so prepared that wondrous gift
Our memories of childhood joys.
If your family has had. but has for
gotten such a custom, revive it this
Christmas, or originate a new one and
in so doing add a sacred charm to
Christmas which will bear home
on to other hearts in years
to come.

ABOUT BRIDES ILLNESS
Manuel Says Reports Are Scandalous
Lies'' and His Wife VIII Soon Go
to England With Him.
BY KARL wIEGAN,
UNITED Press Correspondent)

Berlin, Oct. 1.---Ex- King Manuel Of
Portugal WIS making desperate efforts
today to suppress the scandalous stories
concerning the illness of his bride Of a
few weeks, daughteh Of Prince Will
lam, head Of the non-reigning house
of Hohenzollern
AS move toward Off-setting the
effect of the reports, he has already
moved from his hotel in Munich to
quarters in the hospital where his wife
is a patient.
"The newspaper stories Of this
case" said Manuel's secretary, in an
interview today, care scandelous lies.
1t was said Manuel will insist, as soon
as his wife is able to travel, that she
accompany him to Fulwel Park, Twick-
enham, England, to live.
Gossips asserted that Manuel has
convinced his father-in-law, Prince
William, that the days of the sowing
of his wild oats are past, and the ex-
king friends attributed the present re.
ports regarding his wife S illness to
the Portuguese republicans, who, they
said, have been worried constantly by
the growth of sentiment in his favor,
and wanted to discredit him.
Despite every effort on Manuel S
part, the story persisted that his bride
was never i'll until after her marriage.
Ten days later, according to the ru-
mors, the honeymoon was abruptly
broken off, the bride fell i'll, and ugly
stories of the nature of her ailment
began to circulate.
