LET'S MAKE OUR TOWN BEAUTI-
Fill.

The time of the year has now ar
rived when every citizen should take
pride in making our town beautiful.
We are all equally interested in this
matter. Every citizen who improves
the appearance of hts property does
mot only increase it's value, but to a
less extent increases the value of ev-
cry piece of property in town and al
so make 1t a more desirable place
in which to live. Davenport, Iowa
seems to realize the many benefits
of keeping a town neat and in order
and the Democrat of that city says:
"A chain is no stronger than it's
weakest link, nor can a city be real
ly beautiful unless the people indi-
vidually and all together decide To
make it 80.
Hence the Importance of the move
ment of which the Rotary club il the
sponsor and financier. 1t is offering
cash prizes of $500 to Davenporters
who take the best care of their home
properties through the coming sum-
mer. There are no strings to the
prizes. but the offer, is hedged about
with protection for the renter and
the person of moderate means, so
that free and fair competition is op-
en- to all, and taste and industry.
There ought to be two or three
hundred entrants in this contest. 1t
ought to result in hundreds more of
home properties being beautiful with
grass and shrubs and vines, for such
improvement is contagious"
While we have no $500 to offer as a
reward for the neatest kept premises
we believe people have local
pride enough to do their best along
this line without a money reward.
However, to make it a little more in
teresting will state that the best kept
premises in our town this season will
be given a $500 write-up in this pa
per free. Now get busy.

The man who sets with expect

him, and ask to be taken in over

again. There was never a time yet
when prosperity was looking around
for furnished rooms in the house of
any person on record. Prosperity is
not that kind of an animal and no mar

went to Italy to prepare for the trial,
has returned to New York, as the

PERSON JURY IS PIcKED-ALL ton,
ARE FARMERS

ARE FARMERS
The Carl Person Defense League
received the following communica-
ton from Frank Comerford, attor-
ney for Carl Person, today: after a
three days session we have finally
secured a jury. Strange to relate,
out of the hundreds examined only
two men who ever belonged to a
labor union were drawn for jury serY-
ice. These two were speedily eXcus-
ed by the prosecution. The jury is
made up of farmers. We had nothing
else to pick from. However, we
searched their minds by questioning
them and got the best material pos
sible out of the stuff furnished us.
Tomorrow the opening argu-
ments will be made, then the long
grind of evidence.
Carl, who is with me as am
writing this letter, Joins me in send
ing his best wishes to, the members
of the league. Frank Comerford."

HANGING M|STLETOE
Origin of Custom Associated With Christmas Festivities.
Plant Is Surrounded With Many Su- perstitiono in European Countries Sign of LII Omen in Some
 Parts of Ireland.

HE good old custom of hang ing mistletoe from the ceil-
 ing at the Christmas festivi- I&N9gYD ties is said to have it's origin
 in the idea that since the plant did not have it's roots in the ground no part of it should ever be permitted to touch the earth.
 Among the Saxons the fact that mis- tletoe was suspended from the roof of a dwelling intimated to the way farer that the hospitality of the house was at his disposal, and beneath it's branches friend and stranger, vassal and lord, gathered in comradeship and good cheer.
 The religious aspect of the mistle- toe tradition, which had it's origin in the Druidical rites and the gathering of it by the archdruid with his gold. en sickle, merged later into a purely social symbol, and the idea of simple hospitality developed into one of mer- rymaking and somewhat riotous en- tertainment.
 The kiss of the Scandinavian god dess expanded into the custom of 8 kiss given for every berry that grew on the bough. Small wonder that, l. spite of the mistletoe having orig ally existed in the odor of the sanctu- ary, the church came to regard it as an entirely pagan symbol and refused to allow it to participate with the lily and the evergreen in the Yuletide decorations.
 There is an ancient belief that the mistletoe was the tree from which the holy cross was hewn and that after this was made the plant withered and ever afterward became mere para sitic growth, clinging for support to other and sturdier trees.
 Other stories, however, credit 1t with divine gifts in the healing of dis eases and the expulsion of evil spirits.
 Ram, the high priest of the Celts, re- ceived in a dream the intimation that by means of the plant he would be enabled to save his people from the plague which was decimating them. To celebrate their delivery he insti- tuted the feast of Noel (pew health), midwinter holiday, which has come to be considered coincident with the new year.
 In many parts of the United King. dom the silver berries and the gray green leaves of the mistletoe are looked upon as anything but an em- blem of good cheer; on the contrary. the plant is regarded with dread as be- ing the bringer of i'll luck and the sign of ill omen. This superstition exists both in Devonshire and in Ireland, and, strange to say, in neither of these places does the plant flourish, owing. report has it, to the fact that both incurred the displeasure of the Druids and were in consequence cursed in such way that their soil became in- capable of nourishing the sacred growth.
 In the sixth book of Aeneid a lengthy description of the mistletoe is given by Virgil. who makes the Sybil describe to his hero the exact spot in hades where he will find it growing. There is little doubt that the strange ethereal appearance of the little opaque berry is largely re- sponsible for the mystic character it has enjoyed among the people of di- vers nations from the earliest histor- teal times.

fOR NEW YEAR'S EVE
Toy Noise Producers and How to
 Make Them.

10 one objects to moderate AV amount of noise in welcome to the incoming new year. and 1 am sure that you will agree with me that the following are splendid noise produc. CTS. Each will require but q few minutes time to make.
 The bell rattle shown ill Fig. ] sa made with tin can, a common threa5 spool, two short sticks and two screw eyes. The tin can forms the bell portion of the rattle, and a short piece of broomhandle, or other stick whit tied round, fastens to it for a handle This handle stick GA, Fig ? is se- cured to the bottom of the can by piercing a hole through the tin and screWlng a screW-eye from the in. side of the can down into the end of the stick. Figure shows how the
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1914-12-20

tongue of the bell rattle is prepared The length of the tongue should be equal to the inside depth of the can. Cut stick of this length and whit. tie down one end to fit the hole in the thread spool you have obtained; i; then screw screw-eye into the other end (Fig. 3. Fasten the tongue in place with piece of string, passing the string through the screw.eyes in tongue B and handle A, and tyipx them loosely with firm knots. This completes the rattle.
 The odd-shaped rattle shown in Fig. requires a short stick for han dle A, and two tin cans out of which to make the wings, pieces B and C.. The bottoms of the cans must be re-

moved, and the sides opened out. Tack the pieces to opposite sides of the stick handle.
 By holding the handle in the posi- tion shown in Fig. 4, and shaking from side to side, the tin wings will flap back and forth and make splen- did cracking. crashing noise.
 If you have never tried pulling upon a string rubbed with resin, you cannot appreciate what loud shrieking sound Is produced in this manner.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1914-12-20

Figure 5 shows the idea adapted to a toy that is quickly put together. Get an empty tin can, a piece of heavy wrapping paper, piece of stout wrap ping twine, and piece of rosin. Dou- ble the wrapping paper, pierce a hole through it's center. stick the end of the cord through it and tie a large knot on 1t Gig. 6). Then tie the paper over the open end of the can, as shown in Fig. 6. and trim off the pro- iecting edges. To operate, pull firmly on the string, at the same time allow ing 1t to slide through your hand.
