 Skiing has taken root to an extraor- dinary extent in Switzerland: even the without skis. though they might con slst of only couple of Crudely adjust ed barrel slaves. Thanks to the ski. the boys and girls living on remotely situated farms are now able to attend school every day; their parents are no longer isolated for the best part of the long winter months. and. thanks also to the wooden wings of Norway" the mail and newspapers can be delivered regularly.
 Sport Is furthermore made easier by the different mountain railways. which in winter run tobOggan trains.

Then one descends to the valley on toboggan. ski or skates. or vice versa. goes down first and returns by train to winter quarters.
 Races. competitions. ski excursions, sleigh drives. Ice carnivals and an equal variety of fascinating indoor en- tertainments transplant the happy winter visitor into a totally different world where sorrow and care seem to be banished and where every human being seems to realize that the best life after all is found right next to natures heart
 But Christmas In Switzerland does not only indicate the time when winter sports are beginning to be at their best: il signifies for the natives a De- riod full of sacred mystery and the anniversary of many day particular ly specified in ancient legends.
 In many parts of the country the Yuletlde customs and festivities still have their beginning on December G. which is the anniversary of St. Nicli- oIas. Markets and fairs are then held in villages and cities. and seeing that the old traditions prescribe for this day the purchasing of presents for the children. 1t Is an event of utmost i'm portnnce fo all youngsters. In some districts St. Nicholas parades around in person, in an attire very similar to that of our American Santa Claus, gen. orally carrying bag filled with ap- ples. prunes. nuts and homemade cookies which he distributes among the children who have been obedient during the year.

1t has been the custom by farmers
to haul out the manure accumulated
through the winter, in the spring for
corn land. We venture to say that this
idea is not a good policy as wild oats
and all other foul seed is spread in
full vigor and grows rapidly with the
corn. The manure should be left thru
the summer in such shape that it rots
Select tie next years corn ground
spread the manure in the fall, pillow 1t
under good and deep and give it its
due recognition in spring. This will
not only secure a good corn crop but
leaves the fields clean from foul seed
and in good shape for a small grain
crop. The following year, give it q
trial and you will be convinced.

At THE CASINO.

Thousands who have admired War.
rem Kerrigan in "the movies" will find
cause for great delight when they see
his performance in the Forthcoming
Bluebird Photoplay, "a Son Of the
Immortals," to be the attraction at the
Casino theatre on Saturday of this
week. In this piece, Mr.. Kerrigan has
the role Of a dashing American sud
denly elevated to a throne.
The manner in which he conducts
his office seems to be inspired by his
Yankee bringing up and the way he
tears down tradition and builds up his
own personal popularity with the ma
tives constitutes the motive for an ex.
ceedingly entertaining photoplay.
There are many exciting features in
"a Son of the Immortals," for it would
seem that being King, no matter how
popular, invites the cunning of the as.
sassin, and the hatred Of the under.
lords who are commonly supposed to
do the actual governing in monarchial
countries.
On Tuesday evening Of next week
Violet Mersereau will be seen in "The
Great Problem" The girls mother
died when the news reached her that
the husband and father had been sen.
fenced to II years in prison. The girl
was taken and raised as a pickpocket
in the slums. One of her intended vic.
tins felt her hand in his pocket and
this led to the arrest of the girl. A
prison reformer wished to make an
experiment in criminology and the re-
mainder of the story is told by the pic
ture.
Thursday Mary Fuller appears in
"The Strength of the Weak" a splen
did picture.
On next week Saturday Rupert OF
Hentzau," based on the sequel to "The
Prisoner of Zenda" will be shown with
Jane Gail in the leading role.
