were borrowed by wire from Califor-

over the state were fairly wringing

Cheer Up For Christmasl

Be cheerful. Christina.

with US. Another year has
ranged itself with those taat
nave gone before. as happens
annually. Cheer up! The
laws Of nature are still in
working order.
Christmas is generally con.
sidered an occasion for cheer.

slogan of the day. usually
with the appendage Happy
New Year" It is also the
time you receive a large num-
Der Of things you don't want,
In exchange for the same
number that you would rath-

time father carries the box
OF cigars mother gave him
out to the woodshed, removes
the bands, places them on
cigars of his own and gives
what they originally contain
ed to the ash man.
Be careful just the same.
Think of the excellent chance
you had to pass on the white
elephants kind friends pre-
sented you~with the year be-
fore. You probably think you
had to buy lot Of presents.
Well, the more you gave
away the more you received.
Cheer up! You don't live In
that western town of 400 in
hibitants who are all related
and where every family has
to play Santa Claus with q
moving van to remember all
the others.
There are any number Of
things to be cheerful about.
If you are rich, be cheerful!
Think of all the things you
can buy. If you are poor. re-
member all the things you
can't and won't have to both

PLANS FOR BRINGING
TOURISTS TO NORTHWEST
Legislature Will be Asked to Make
Apportionment for Publicity
Purposes

Representatives from Spokane, Sc
attic, Tacoma, Portland, Ore, Victor
la and Vancouver, B. c., comprising
the executive committee of the board
of directors of the Pacific Northwest
Tourist association, met in Seattle on
Thursday and perfected plans to Sc
cure funds from the Oregon and
Washington legislatures and the gov
eminent of British Columbia to con-
duct two year publicity campaign
to bring summer. tourists to the Pa
cific Northwest.
Since the war has cut off tourist
traffic to Europe, American tourists
are spending millions of dollars an
nually in seeing their own country
and the object of organizing the Pa
cific Northwest Tourist association is
to conduct campaign in the East
which will induce the summer tourists
to spend their entire vacation time in
the Pacific Northwest.
Statistics given at the meeting
showed that the tourist traffic already
booked for the winter season in Cali
fornia by the Southern Pacific means
the spending of $6,OOO,O0O in that
state, aside from transportation ex-
penditures. All the people of Cali
fornia benefit from this expenditure
and from investments made by tour
lists in California industries.

Assurances were given at the meet
ing that the British Columbia govern
ment and the Oregon legislature will
contribute to the campaign. The leg
islature of Washington will be asked
to appropriate $4,000, half to be
available in 1917 and half in 1918, the
same as Oregon is expected to do.

Christmas In
Newfoundland

IF the American countries, none
perhaps has more picturesque
Yuletide rites than little New
j foundland. Even in summer
Newfoundland is seldom a tour
list land-the men who come to
fish or hunt aren't apt to over
throw native customs-and In
the winter strangers to the "Out-
post" towns are few and far be-
between, wherefore Newfound-
land Christmas remains today
much as it was when the first
settlers to England's oldest col
ony came.
There were the old time Chin
ney and the great open fireplace
the fishermen are largely Of
English descent, and so there is
the burning Of the Yule log.
During Christmas week, for
example, such fishermen as
were not busted doing their
Fishing for the church"-that's
to say, dropping their nets and
bringing their catch to be sold
for the benefit Of the village
curate-were wont to dress up
as mummers. Bands Of these
strollers would meet at the
homes Of the different employ
ers of fishermen, and there were
festivities. ending In dancing.
It took one back In fancy to
the old feudal times in England,
for the employers are to these
fishermen as so many lords,
whose slightest request is their
law. Once a year at Christmas
tide the discipline is relaxed.
and the lowly fisherman might
even enter the homes Of their
masters and make merry.
There on q settle, beside the
fire. sits the fiddler dispensing
music for the occasion. Host and
hostess stand before the table
and provide the good things.
There are Scotch whisky, port
wine. rum-drinks first, always;
then cake and bread, whole
ration of bacon-Other dainties
galore. Every home In New
foundland holds open house this
day.
After the feasting the older
folk withdraw to one side to
fol, tales of their lives on the
seas. Now and then the parish
priest drops in to wish all the
compliments Of the day. The
Young folk proceed to dance or
to plan and devise costumes for.
the dances to follow. Every
evening there is some ffolic
or entertainment ION" in the
towns, and as the days go by
each of the mummers appears
garbed In a fantastic costume.
But it is not all indoor fun
that they hold in Newfoundland
through Christmas week, bitter
cold though it be. There are
outdoor parties and singing con-
tests, etc.
Along with the fishing for the
church, as already described, 1t
is quite the custom in the "out-
port" towns for all the villagers
to "chip in" and present the
parish priest with a giant load
of wood.-Felix ]. Koch In Gin
cinuati Commercial Tribune.

yer, and accompanied by good wishes
and kind words. The great, generous
public has its opportunity thru the
mail sale; the school teachers thru
the seals sent them for the children
to sell, and communities thru some
public spirited organization or in

Why BARRIERS Sometimes Talk

"Stop!" Numbered the man in the
barber chair, who was having his hair
cut. "Why do you insist upon telling
me these horrible, blood-curdling sto-
ries?" "I'm sorry, sir" said the bar
Der, "but when tell stories like that
the hair stnnds up on erd and makes
it much easier to cut, sir"
