State Camp Grounds, Youkon,
Fla, Aug. 14.-Yesterday was a
busy day in camp for Co. D. The
entire battalion was out in military
maneuvers. They formed outposts
with Co. C. and Co. ID. in reserve.
When the enemy came in contact
with the outposts, the Major sent
for Co. D. to advance to the right
flank of the firing line. The boys
report that the heat of battle" was
quite mild compared to the heat of
the atmosphere.
In the afternoon the battalion
was sent out into the woods to
make an advance guard formation

FURTHER TROUBLE
OVER CONTEST; SUIT
TO Be INSTITUTED
AGAINST MERCHANTS
COOPERATIVE ASSN

Trouble in connection with the re-
cent popularity contests will not
down, apparently. Last night the
Merchants Cooperative Association
made a final decision in their con-
test, awarding the first prize, the
Studebaker car, to Miss Annabel
Marshall, and the second prize, the
Ford car, to the Misses Cloud.
However, it would seem this does
not settle the matter, as Mr.. C. c.
Hardin, representing the interests
OF the Misses Cloud declares that
the Ford car will not be accepted,
and that he will bring suit on their
behalf for a Studebaker car, or its
equivalent in value, this being the
| first prize. Mr.. Hardin intimated
that he had no objection to a similar
award to Miss Marshall, but thought
the Misses Cloud equally entitled to
first prize.
Mr.. Hardin will base his suit pri-
| liza ny VII lhC THAT ohC nun
dred and eight million votes Were
cast that were never legally issued
and upon other contentious that, in
! his opinion, will establish that the
claims of the two contesting parties
on the first prize were at least equal
1t is understood that he went to Bar
tow last evening to secure an injunc
ton to prevent the delivering of the
Studebaker car to Miss Marshall
but this action was anticipated b.
the managers of the contest WHIT
gave the car to Miss Marshall las
night From present indications i
" ould seem that while others worry
| Miss Marshall can ride, being in pos
session of the car.

Il found out, too, Margie, that the

HISTORY OF CHRISTMAS

Christmas originally Cristes masse ("the mass
or church festival OF Christ"). is the English
name for the season In which the birth Of Christ
is commemorated. 1t is apparent, however that
a festival was celebrated at this season long be-
fore 1t was held sacred as the birthday Of Jesus
of Nazareth. The Saturnalia of the Romans and
the winter festival OF the heather Britons were
both celebrated about December 25; and later.
the Roman festival in honor Of the sun god.
Mithra INSTITUTED 273 A. d. From the latter the
day became to be known as the Birthday of the
Unconquered SUM" and after its adoption by the
Christian church in the fourth century as the
anniversary of Christ's birth. this name was
given a symbolic Interpretation.

period also reveals a heather, If not invariably

The Table Decorated.
The table is a picture to cheer the hungry.
The large turkey is at che end and the pig at
the other end Of the long table, with everything
they are to eat between, excepting the plum
pudding.
After the silent grace, which stills the noise
for a moment the carver takes his knife, and
with delberation born of steady nerves carves
under the fire Of twenty pairs Of eyes,
The directions in "Gentlewomans House
wifery" says: Raise the leg fairly of the tur-
key and open the joint with the point Of the
knife. but do not take OF the leg.
Then lace down both sides OF the breat bone
and open the breast pinion. but do not take it
OF. Then raise the Merry Thought between the
breast bone and the top of It," and so on till
the turkey is boned. While this is being done
the christmas bowl is passed.
After they are helped to turkey and pig they
pass the vegetables and decacies and even the
mince pie is eaten when they have the desire
for it.
The Correct Manners.
The proper conventions are strictly adhered
to. The book of etiquette says: "A gentlewom-
an must not lean her elbows on the table, nor by
a ravenous gesture discover a voracious appe-
tite nor talk with her mouth full, nor smack her
lips like a pig"
