furthermore desirous of giving more
religious Importance to two important
Roman festivals which also fell due in
the same period. With the observation
of Christmas day the Christkindli, de-
scribed "as n lovely angel with wings"
gradually started to take old Santa's
place in many sections of Switzerland.
Christkindli, the Christ Child, Is said
to come from the far North and always
brings n wonderful Christmas tree,
decorated with all the glittering things
associated with fairyland and heavily
laden with manifold gifts.
A pretty legend about the origin OF
the Christmas tree tells us that in the
beginning of the ninth century GER
tain st. Winfried went to preach
Christianity to the people in Scandi-
navia and northern Germany. One
Christmas eve these people were gath
cred round huge oak to offer hu-
man sacrifice, according to the Druid
priests, but St. Winfried hewed down
the great tree, and as it fell there ap-
peared in its place tall young fir.
When st. Winfried saw it he cried to
the people that here was come new
tree unstained by blood, which, In
pointing to the sky, showed them what
they were to worship.
at is the Christ Child" he said.
Garry it to the castle of your chief.
and in future, instead of the bloody
rites of the Druids, your worship shall
be in your own homes, with cere-
monies that speak the message OF
peace and good will to all. A day
will come when there shall not be a
house in the North wherein on the
birthday of Christ the whole family
shall not gather together round tho
fir tree in memory of this day and to
the glory of the only God"
In many parts of Switzerland the
peasants are still fervent believers In
mystic powers and supernatural occur
renceS which ancient traditions have
reported to be prevalent during Christ
mastime.
And when the happy Christmas days
are over, there comes New Years eve,
with its jolly social and family gather
ings and its marvelously effective ring
ing-in of the New Year, when all the
church bells throughout the land are
lifting up their voices for half an
hour.
While Christmas of 1916 will hardly
be a general day of rejoicing in many
great country in Europe, Switzer-
land is preparing to celebrate 1t in her
usual way. There will be less laugh
ter in the valleys and fewer brilliant
festivities In the fashionable winter
resorts above the clouds. Brotherly
love and sympathy for her bleeding
neighbors could not will 1t otherwise.
but Switzerland is grateful to the
fate which has so far, in spite Of
everything, been kind to her, and with
gratitude and love she will think and
take care of her soldiers watching at
the front, and she will open wide her
already generous heart to the many
refugees whom she is sheltering and
to the destitute, homeless wanderers
passing through the country, to make
them feel that Christmas Is after all
the most wonderful day Of the year.

Travelling almost continually for six

southeastern Oregon, with but a few
hours at noon and at night to break
the monotony and relieve the strain

In the less than half of the terri

there are vast mountains of potassium
nitrate that tower hundreds of feet In
the air: great lakes covering thou
sands OF acres Of fertile soil, which,
when drained, will open up vast areas
that are ideal for farming and fruit
raising; mines tunneling under the
earth for miles that contain unlimited
mineral lodes; caves where Ice is
manufactured by natural process in
greater quantities than ever can be
used; hot springs that could furnish
hot water and heating facilities for
miles around.
Even to the sagebrush, the country
holds treasure store of which few
ever dreamed. For the prospectors
cut there have found that by charring
the sagebrush and mixing 1t with the
scrapings taken from the rocks that
lay near at hand they can make all

The sagebrush is limitless and needs

place in the world where potassium

so plentiful that it is doubtful whether
the supply eanb exhausted. How eX-

When touring or doing great deal
of continuous day driving in the sum-
mer season, the battery should be
watched very carefully to avoid pos
sibIe over-heating and serious injury.
For this purpose a small dairy ther-
mometeF should be carried, and If at
any time a temperature of 100 degrees
is noticed, it shows that the battery is
being overfed The remedy Is to
burn all the lamps or to stop the
charging of the battery entirely, II

shutting off the generator supply.
Never blame any one part OF your

Hcw to Make Sure Of Results
Inasmuch as the storage battery Is

perform it's functions properly.
This care consists of:
First-KeeD all cells filled with

that has not cuched metal, to a level
10 inch sbove the ton of the plates.
Never fill the cells full.
Seccnd-Test the gravity of all cells

first and fifteenth of every month.
If any cells are below 1875 on two
successive testing dates, take the bat
