PASTOR SAYS Christ
WAS GREATEST HYPHENATE

Before a large and enthusiastic
audience, members of the Sunday
school of Zion Lutheran Church held
their Christmas entertainment in the
auditorium of the church last night.
Recitations, Christmas carols, an
thems and solos, comprised the pro-
gram. A Christmas sermon was
preached by the Rev. S. G. Won Bosse.
He spoke of Christ as the greatest
hyphenate in the world and said that
his generalship was such that he even
defeated death.
The German exercises were held in
the church on Christmas night. A
chorus of sixty voices marked these
exercises. Those who recited Christ
mas pieces from the intermediate de-
partment last night we're;

, Federal laws are made in Washington
by Congress and are effectiye in all the
States and territories throughout the
country. State laws are made by the
Legislatures at the various State Cap
itals and are only binding within
those States; for instance, or State
laws are made for us by the Legis-
lature at Dover.
"The way that Federal laws are
made at Washington and the State
laws at Dover are very similar, so I'll
just tell you how the laws are made
at Washington
Jimmy rose and put another log on
the fire.
when a member of Congress
wishes a certain law to be made he
prepares a bill, which is a copy Of the
law he would like 10 nave adopted.
Usually bills are prepared by members
of the House of RepresentatiS es. al
though Senators have the right to in
troduce most kinds of bills. This bill
prepared by member of the House, is
then given to the Speaker of the
House-the Speaker is the same as the
chairman-who referE It TO one of the
many committees of the House.
do you mean that the House as a
whole doesn't act on each bill?" asked
joe
Exactly answered Uncle Harry.
There are thousands and thousands
of bills prepared. and if Congress tried
to handle ,all of them it would have
only few minutes TO give to each. So
each bill is referred to the committee
best qualified to consider it. II the
committee doesn't approve of the bill
it kills the bill then and there. / mean
by kills thai the committee never re-
fers the bill back to the House. But
if the bill is approved by the com
mittee il is presented TO the House, to
gether with any suggestions the com.
mittee may see fit TO make.
The cleri- Of the House then reads
the bill. and the committees recon-
mendation aloud to the members OF
the House After the clerk has finish
ed reading it, the members who favor
the bill and those who oppose It pre-
sent their reasons for thinking as
they do. After the argument vote

the clerk of .he House takes it to the

Joe.

STORING CABBAGE IN FIELD
Location Of Storage Pit Should BE on
Ridge, Well Drained and GravelIy
Soil as Possible.

(By e. +. M'KUNE. Colorado Agriculture
al College)
In choosing site for a storage pit,
select a ridge. well drained and as
graveIly q soil as possible. The pit
should be six to ten inches deep, the
length and width depending upon the
amount to be stored. It is well TO
have it wide enough to accommodate
three to FIVE heads on the bottom row.
In harvesting the heads, pull up by
the roots. Break of only the dead
oil diseased leaves. and fold the re-
naming leaves over the head as much
as possible to protect them. Over
ripe or cracked heads should not be
stored. The heads are placed in the
pit with their heads down and roots
up. The second layer is also placed
heads down between the roots Of the
first layer. II is well not to have
more than two layers, on account Of
the weight having tendency to crush
the lower layer.
When the cabbages are put in place
they are covered with a layer OF earth.
When cold weather comes. straw or
manure can be added
Cabbages can often be kept better
In pits than In common cellars.

itself and then to the fence wire; or
one end of the fastening wire is twist.
ed around the fence wire, and the free
end is then carried around the post
and twisted on the other side to the
same wire. Either plan is good, but
care must be taken to draw the fasten-
ing wire tight, or else stock trying to
get through the fence may raise or
crush down the fencing with their
heads. If any trouble is experienced,
the post should be roughened at the
fastening point with a cold chisel
Expansion and contraction of tho
fence due to heat and cold are cared
for by the tension curves or kinks"
in the woyen-wire fencing, and no fear
may be felt in drawing the fastening
wires as tight as necessary. Wooden
mailing strips should never be EN-.
bedded in the posts, for moisture will
swell the wood and crack the con.
crete.

WAY TO FASTEN WIRE FENCE
II Is Not Desirable to Place Staples
or Hoops In Green conerete-Slm-
pie Plan Is Described.

There are numerous methods OF at.
taching wire fencing to concrete posts.
Some makers place staples or wire
loops in the green concrete; others
make holes in the posts. The former
method is not desirable because the
fastener cannot be located exactly
where the wire of the fencing will
come when the post is set in the
ground; then, too, the fastener will
eventually rust or break OF and will
thus injure the looks of the post.
On the other hand, holes through the
posts weaken them, and therefore this
method is, in general. unsatisfactory.
The simplest easiest, and cheapest
way Of fastening wire fence to con.
crete post is by encircling the post
with wire one size less than the cor
responding wire in the fence proper
and by twisting this wire around the
strand of the fence. This is done in
two ways. The fastening wire is

VALUE OF THE TREES
Enhance the Beauty Of Land
SCape and Architecture.
Plants Improve Climate, Conserve
Soil and Moisture, and Every
Effort Should Be Put Forth to
Provide Ample Protection.

frees are inviting and encouraging
to outdoor life. 1t is partly for this
advantage that many city people who
have the means seek homes in the
suburbs and farther In the country.
There they can enjoy trees in their
native splendor and fill their lungs
with the pure oxygen generated by
the abundance of plant life.
The commercial value of the tree
should appeal to those who are not
touched by its esthetic value. Every
man should realize that a tree Dor
dered farm or city street means an
Increase in value of the property with
the growth of the trees.
Trees improve climate, conserve the
soil and the moisture, and every effort
should be put forth to protect and
save the trees we now have and more
trees of the right kind should be
planted.
Tree surgery is a profession which
has grown to considerable importance,
and in this way sick and diseased
trees are being restored to health.
Briefly, tree surgery consists in cut
ting out the rotted parts of the trees
and filling the cavities thus made with
some substance which will make the
cavity water and air tight Most of
these cavities are the results Of i'm
proper trimming. A stub is left where
branch has been amputated. This
stub, into which the living sap no
longer flows, becomes saturated with
moisture, rot spores become active,
the stub soon rots off, leaving the be-
ginning of pocket or cavity, which
is gradually increased by the action Of
the rot spores and boring insects.
Then the birds and squirrels begin to
build their nests in these cavities and
help to increase them until almost the
entire center of the tree trunk has
been destroyed. Unless this rotting
is stopped the strongest and most
magnificent tree will be destroyed.
The proper way to proceed is to
clean out the entire cavity, using a
chisel or gouge to remove all the rot
ted wood. Then wash the interior Of
the cavity with solution of copper
sulphate made by dissolving in a
wooden vessel, one-fourth of pound
