The "buy q box" slogan has perhaps
never reached the cotton states of tie
south, but judging from letter from a
resident of a cotton belt town to st.
Joseph, Mo, Fruit Grower and Farmer.
the slogan would take, if the consum.
ers of those districts could get fruit at
reasonably low rates. The writer of
the letter mentioned says:
II have no doubt that campaigns for
the popularization of apples with the
consuming public will do much good.
But remember his-apples are already
mighty popular with US. The kreal
problem is to get the fruit to US at a
reasonable price. go
Thousands of little towns in the
cotton belt have never been reached
with apples in carlots, and | am firmly
convinced that every one of them would
take a carload or two of fruit, if they
could get it at an attractive price,"

The apple growers are interested in
the doings of the citrus districts, for
both apple growers and orange orchard
lists have similar problems. In April
of this year Riverside, Calf, plans a
great celebration to observe the found
ing of the citrus industry. Today hun
dreds of millions of dollars are invest
ed in this industry. Our forefathers
considered that oranges could only be
eaten on special occasions, OF else a
man must be mighty well to do to
have them served at will on his table.
today they are as common as home
grown apples. William Saunders is the
fatLer of the California orange indus
try. In 1886 he was the horticulturist
of the little United States Department
of Agriculture at W ashington.
Mr.. Saunders learned that at Bahia,
Brazil, seedess orange tree existed.
He secured from it some small trees,
especially budded. His first shipment
died in transit. He had another sent,
packed according to his minute direc-
tions. These he grew in a greenhouse
in Washington. Through Ben Butler,
then in congress from Massachusetts,
some of the trees passed to the hands
OF Mrs. c. l.. Tibbetts. of Riverside.
The trees are still living. known as the
Washington Navel oranges. Thus was
the start of the great citrus industry
of southern California. The first ap.
Piles of the northwest were grown from
a tree planted by a British officer at
Vancouver, Wn. The seed was brought
from England.

II is generally known in the north
west that the Puyallup and Sumner
Fruit Growers Association is one of
the most successful organizations of its
kind in the country. II was organized
in 1902, with capital stock of 81, 600,
which has been increased now to So, 503
The success of the organization is due
in great part to the efforts of the pres
ident and general manager, w. H.
Paulhamus. So valuable are the SER
vices of Mr.. Paulhamus considered that
the annual report of the association for
the year 1914 says:
In order to extend the best possible
financial standing to the Association,
the life of the president and general
manager, w. II. Paulhamus, is insured
in favor of the Puyallup & Sumner
Fruit Growers Association in the sum
of $25, 900 in case of death from any
cause.
Accident policies in the sum of
S37, 500 are also carried. The latter
policies are subject to many different
amounts according to the nature of the
accident. For example, if he should
meet death on a railroad train or an
automobile, the amount of the death
loss would be SIS, 900, plus the regular
policies of $25, 900 referred to above,
making a total payment to the Associ-
alton of 100000. These policies we're
obtained at an annual cost to the Assc-
citation of sl,l99.75. All premiums
paid to June IL, 1915"
On December 81 of last year the AS
sociation had net surplus of $500, 900.

should be canned. Instead of using the
old method and boiling the fruit in an
open vessel. he put it in a closed uten-

sterilizes the fruit and the cell struc-

EARLY ROMAN CHRISTMASES
No Special Ceremonies for Christ Fig
ured More as Historic Being
Than World Savior.

The early Roman Christmas, says j.
A Symonds, probably kept Christmas
with no special ceremonies. Christ
was as yet too close t0them. He had
not become the glorious creature Of
their fancy, but was partly historic
being, partly cSnfpAsi i'm their imagi-
nation with raniniscefces of pagan
deities. AS the Good Shepherd. and as
Orpheus, we find HIM painted in the
Catacombs; and those who thought Of
him as God loved to dwell upon his
risen greatness more than on the idyl
OF his birth To them his entry upon
earth seemed less a subject Of rejoic-
ing than his opening of the heavens
They suffered and looked forward to a
future happiness. They would not
seem to make this world permanent by
sharing it's gladness with the heather.
Theirs, in truth, was religion of hope
and patience, not Of triumphant recol-
lection or Of present happiness.

CHRISTMAS VISION

On Christmas eve mid all the joyous glee
That In my righteousness surrounded me-
/ happened by some chance to turn mine
eye
Out through a window-wreath that hung
near by.
And as I glanced through 1t into the
night
I seemed to see, lit by some holy light
A childish face with wistful, smiling lips
That thrilled me to my very finger tips.
Two eager hands stretched forth called,
as in stress.
To me TO carry help to Helplessness,
And in the sad eyes OF that child / saw
In all its loneliness the Christmas Law
Not a command, no everlasting Must
Upon Reluctance for It's teaching thrust,
But just pleading hint TO him who runs
That all who suffer are Gods Little Ones!
And then the picture In the wreath was
gone,
And in its place the Eastern Star-beams
shone-
The same that nineteen centuries ago
Led on the Wise Men with their heavenly
glow:
And cen as they wandered through the
drifts
And into lowly places carried gifts
To cheer, and give release. and pay my
due
Unto my Lord through them that suffer
rue.

AN EXPENSIVE INSTITUTION
But Cost Of Christmas Pays Big Re-
turns In Joy and Happiness Of
Children.

Christmas is very costly institu
ton. 1t makes deep holes in millions
OF well-filled pockets. Fathers hand
reaches into his pocket more often
in the few weeks before Christmas
than during any other period of equal
extent in the whole year. And lots of
money goes for presents that, in the
hands of happy children, last a very
short time. Nightfall of Christmas
day sees many toys in mangled heaps
that bright and shining and new greet
ed the little folks as they hoped out
of bed Christmas morning. And mil
lions and millions of things are bought
that never would be, il it were not for
Christmas. But does all this mean that
Christmas is not worth the money 1t
costs, that 1t would be better If the
world did not observe the anniversary
Of Christ's birth in the way it does?
Nobody in the whole wide Christian
part of the world will say that Christ
mas does not pay for itself that 1t is
not worth all it costs, and that it Is
not bargain at any price. Where can
be found father and mother who
feel that they have been cheated by
Christmas, after they hear the CUR
Cling laughter of their children, in
ecstasy among their. new toys, even If
there had to be skimping and saving Of
pennies to buy the little presents? p

WHAT NEW ENGLAND MISSED
Not Until Late In the SOS Was Oh
servance Of Christmas Fes-
tlval General.

General as are today both the re-
ligious and secular observance Of the
Christmas festival. 1t is barely half a
century since Christmas was tabooed
In large sections of the United States
as we'll as in other countries where
the old Puritan element predominated,
says an exchange. Even as late as
the SOS all through New England
Christmas as holiday was ousted
by New Years, except in Catholic or
Episcopal families.
The old hatreds growing out Of the
wars of the Reformation, both on the
continent and in Great Britain, for
centuries practically abrogated this
annual festival wherever the Puritan
element or it's posterity was the DOM
mating factor In the community. The
following from Edward Eggleston's
Transit OF Civilization" will give
something of an idea of the eclipse
which darkened the joyous holiday
history of the United States:
I'm 1870 the Massachusetts, legisla-
ture ordained that the mere abstain.
ing from labor on December 25 should
be q penal offense. The observance
OF Christmas was held Objectionable
not only because 1t afforded opportun-
ity for the playing Of games and pro-
family but because Christmas observ-
ance was Ubiquitous on it's own ac-
count. for all honoring Of days. times
or seasons other than the Sabbath
seemed to the fine spun Puritan mind
a masked idolatry. The strict Puritan
Sabbath, first rigidly enforced In Eng
land and Scotland, was early trans
planted in New England, where its
observance was, under similar penal
ties, made as strictly compulsory as
was the nonobservance Of Christmas"
One Of the old as well as the mod
ern features of the Christmas service
was it's magnificent music. But dur
ing the Puritan eclipse not only
Christmas music, but practically all
church music worthy the name, dis
appeared.
AS the religious prejudices and
hatreds, born in prosecutions. softened
with time, the Christmas festival grew
in favor even throughout the hostile
communities of both Great Britain and
America

In order to make up governmental
treasury deficit, Secretary McAdoo pro-
poses special tax on gasoline. The
European war has. of course, greatly
interfered with customs receipts. but
regardless of this fact, the Democratic
free trade system seems likely to be
great disappointment as revenue
producer, to say nothing of its adverse
effect upon industrial conditions in this
country. If it is necessary to tax do
nestle .products to carry on the bust
ness Of the government, why not place
it upon munitions of war, product
that is swelling the Golfers of the rich
faster than any other in the country at
the present time. Within the past
year upward of one hundred millions Of
dollars have been invested in facilities
for the manufacture of war material,
the profits on which are said to be
enormous. Why not place tax on this
industry; on the one business which
is particularly and riotously thriving on
the situation which is impoverishing the
government, rather than upon gasoline
which is necessity for the comfort
and business prosperity of the common
people? Furthermore, the practice of
economy in the various branches of pub
lie service would be logical method to
pursue in times of restricted revenue.
Notwithstanding this fact congress
is to be asked to increase the salaries
of several high officials in the vari-
Gus governmental departments, notably

master general, who wants little
