Forest Men Not Allowed
to Accept Hospitality

Through District Forester A.
C. Ringland the forest service
has transmitted to all the for
esters in this district instruc-
tions to insist on paying for
whatever meat or other pro-
visions they get from stockmen
in their territory.
The idea is to prevent feel
ing of obligation on the part of
the ranger and a feeling that
favors are expected on the part
of the stockman or settler.
The men are instructed to use
tact in pressing payment for
meat or meals. 1t is realized
that among the stockmen and
cattle raisers there are men who
would take the suggestion OF
payment for food furnished as
an insult. Albuquerque Citizen.

CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL
DAY FOR The YOUNG

For it is good to be children
sometimes, and never better
than at Christmas, when it's
mighty Founder was a child him
self. Charles Dickens.
Christmas, the celebration of
the Divine Child, is peculiarly
the children's festival. And
while it cannot, too, but be a
time for special rejoicing among
grown-ups, we realize after all
that it has no other charm to
compare with the pleasure we
take in some 'kiddy's" delight
over the doll or drum OR picture
book that our special Santa
Claus has brought him.
This opportunity of making
some child's Christmas one of
surprising joy, of which he wi
carry a gracious and ennobling
memory into after life, years,
it may be, after our direct in
huence for good or evil will have
ceased forever-this opportunity
of giving pleasure is one OF the
best that life has to offer u.s..
And perhaps the greatest oppcr-
tunity is his who. in place of
home times, has the wide, gray
world of homeless, loveless, un-
happy childhood from which to
choose the most needy recipient
of his Christmas giving. The
chances of giving happiness in
this way are so many, the means
so simple, and the deed itself so
worthy, that no one of US should
let the season pass unimproved.
HISTORY OF CHRISTMAS TREE
The Christmas tree is sup
posed by great numbers of peo-
ple to have originated in Ger
many, but from a reliable source
we learn that the Christmas
tree came in the first instance
from Egypt, and it's origin dates
from a period much earlier than
the Christian era. The palm
tree is known to put forth a
branch every month, and a spray
of this tree with IL shoots on 1t
was used in Egypt at the time
kof the winter solstice as SYM
Dol of the completed year.
