Christmas Dinner
In Dixie

In a certain story Of Henry James
he tells Of being in room of "beauti
full omissions" and to many dining
tables of today, among both the rich
and poor, the same term could be ap-
piled so far as food is concerned, but
to the Christmas dinners Of my clear.
est recollectiOnS it would not properly
apply, says Kate Langley Bosher, the
well known author, in the New York
Times.
Ours was a large family, and always
there were guests and relatives to dine
with us. In consequence the table was
enlarged to IS limit Of its capacity
and reached from one end Of the din
ing room to the other. In the center
was a bowl of holly whose berries
cleaned in the light which fell upon
them, and at both head and foot Of the
table a large. ali impOSingly large, and
consequential turkey which had long
been preparing for his fate lay ready
for his sacrifice Today two turkeys
seem scandalOusly unnecessary. In the
yesterdays they were not considered SO
On one side of the holly berries was
Smithheld ham baked to a brown
ness that was indeed alluring; on the
other a round of spiced beef whose
fragrance made waiting difficult. Soup
and fish on Christmas day were al
ways dispensed with.
Oysters only were served while the
carving was being done, and when the
latter was sufficiently advanced to per
NIT 1t was with right good will and ap-
petites made ready by the close appeal
of celery and cranberries and home
made pickles and crisp corn bread and
vegetables Of all sorts and kinds th&t
thanks were given for another reUnih
ing and for Gods great gift to ntaN,
and all in the household went merrily
to work
When desseyt was served the table
was again laden with variety that
now seems prodigally wasteful Of

tempting not to be resisted. Plum
pudding with its burning brandy perk
lily insisted that 1t be tried first, then
pies of luscious filing and golden
Jelly or perhaps of rich red, accord
ing to the wine with which it was
made. Fruits and nuts and raisins
kept the children busy, and when at
last the table was left it was with a
silent prayer from some that penalty
be not exacted for the misdeeds Of the
flesh.
In many homes Of the south eggnog
was made on Christmas eve and kept
overnight to season." and in others
apple tOddy was prepared week or so
in advance of its using. AS appetizers
either served the purpose well, but It
was not as appetiZers that they were
taken.
The average southerner takes them
because he likes them. He thinks them
very good, and Christmas comes but
once in a long. long year! But Of
course others may disagree with him
as to their use-and he has no quarrel
with the others.

Death of Young Woman.

Mrs. Lavera Vaughan Ledbetter,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Bob Vau-
CHAN, of Ralston, died Tuesday at her
home in Johnsonville and the remains
reached Ralston Wednesday night.
Funeral services were conducted at
the Ralston Methodist church Thurs
day morning, followed by interment
at Eastview cemetery, Martin.
Mrs. Ledbetter was sick but a
few days and her death was a shock
to her reatives. She was married to
Mr.. E. L. Ledbetter, station agent
at Johnsonville, about two years
ago She was the youngest daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Bob Vaughan,
sister Of Mrs. Desdy Bragg, of
Dresden, and was reared at Ralston.
She was an unusually bright, intel
ligent, pretty young lady, and great
host of friends deeply regret her
untimely death.

Work of County Agriculturist

The time during the months of
July and August was almost en-
tirely occupied with the farm la
Dor problem, and this, together
with other work in the field, has
made it impracticable to keep the
public informed through the
papers regarding the progress of
the county agent work during the
past three months. On this ac-
count, perhaps a review of the
activities of the office in connect
ion with the farm labor problem
will be of interest.
An extreme effort has been put
forth to keep st. Clair county
farmers supplied with help this
summer, but during the latter part
of July and the first half of Aug
ust it was impossible to keep up
with the demand. The cold, wet
weather in the early part of the
season made the farmer reluctant
to accept help, and when good
weather did arrive, over fifty ap-
plications for men came to the of
flee in the space of three or four
days. Continual advertising was
done locally for farm hands and
from three to five trips to Detroit
per week were made to bring
them out. A few men have been
obtained from Port Huron and
but about 80 per cent of
all those secured have been OBJ
