CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER.

81 have found Christmas in
! Australia, where Christmas
day comes in midsummer and
: an intensely English people
insist on maintaining all the
traditions Of the English
!, Christmas. so charmingly de-
scribed by Washington Irving,
a topsy turvy affair."" said a
! famous lecturer.
Imagine the traditional
boar's head, the baron Of beef,
plum pudding, mince pie and
spiced wine served at a
Christmas board where men
sit in white duck, the women
in the sheerest Of summer
wear and the master of the
revels presides with palm ;
leaf fan and n handkerchief ,
mop.
II will never forget my first
Australian Yuletide, which
was spent in Brisbane, the :
capital of Queensland.
1--WE demanded something
green. The nearest approach
to greens we could find was
the eucalyptus, which was .
rather an excellent shade of
dust. Everybody cut large
branches Of eucalyptus and
tied them on to the street
corners and draped them on
the porches. We had a eu-
calyptus branch decked out in
candles and tinsel, and a per- :
spring Santa Claus dis
tributed presents and slipped
iced lemonade.
THAT evening our Christ
mas sports. instead Of skat- :
ing and coasting with bob
sleds, consisted Of a game Of
croquet on the lawn, while ;
several heroic souls went in
for q set at tennis" .

RODLEY NEIGHBORHOOD

Rodley is a prosperous little
neighborhood, situated about
twenty miles southeast of Spring
field. We are in the sandy sol
and of course think it is better
farming land than the hard land
My advice (after eighteen
Years experience) to the new
i conner is, don't spend too much
money improving your home
steads. Build the necessary
Improvements, and take the rest
of the mon ~ that you we've &C.
ing to improve with, and put 1t
in some good cows, and in II
very short time you can improve
/ your place and have your cows
left. Of course if you have
enough money to buy ten, tifteer
or twenty cows and improve too,
! just that much the better.
| have seen the mistake made
time and again where person
would come in the country and
spent just about all they had
putting TIP nice improvements;
and may be the next year or two
would be dry and they would
have to go. and sell their i'm
provments for whatever they
could get; where if they had put
part Of that money in cattle,
they could have remained with
the country.
We have got to figure On dry
years once In a while land some
times twice In a while). II
every year were like last year
we could make living here
any old way: nut cur prospects
for another good crop this year
are fine.
There is very little (if any, va
cant land in this vicinity. most all
the land is proved up.
l could write much more con
corning t1e country, but I win
ring off for this time.
