How Animals Figure
In Christmas Customs

TIME Christmas customs in Norway
and Swden are the most inter-
esting of any country. II Is time
IF great rejoicing. To show that there
are friendly feelings between every
one in the household the shoes are
placed in a row in the hall when retir-
ing on Christmas eve, and, like the
German custom, candles are left burn
ing in the village windows all night
to light the way for christine" who,
brings the gifts. The Christmas tree
is largely decorated with candles and
pretty cakes arranged in bright colored
baskets, all usually home made

Christmas Pie Has
Long Family History

TT Apply the Christmas revclor who
has digestion to tackle the
Christmas pie. The modern fad

plum pudding and the mincc from the
Christmas feast.

naky of crust and redolcnt of burning

Truly the modern progressive who
lives by rule is akin to the old Puritan
to whom the Christmas pie was an
abominaton savoring Of hcresy. In
deed the Roundhead had more excuse
for his abstinence it was test of or
thodoXy. He felt his morals would be
injured by eating q pie whose savory
contents were typical OF offerings of
the Magi and whose form was often
that of n manger.
The Christmas pie is of ancient and
honorable lineage, and It's name of
"minee pie" came centuries later, be-
ing given in derision by the Puritans.
Are we such weaklings that what our
ancestors have thrived on for centu-
ries will STAY us In one eating? Surely
the stomach specialist, that product
of modCrnity, must have slipped up.
Our grandparents did NOT eat one
measly little slice of the Christmas pie
in fear and trembling. Boldly they
swallowed huge hunks, not on Christ
mas day only, but during the entire.
season of Christmas, unto Twelfth
Night. Was it not writ, GAS many diff
ferent houses as thou shalt eat mince

And they began the mixing of that
Christmas pie early and with great
ceremony. 1t was Il gala occasion

SAVING the Ewes.

The eyes were made to use without
n doubt. So We're the hands and feet,
and all can be abused and become
sources of pain forever. A lifetime of
just ordinary vision. just seeing what
goes on about us, is about all We can
expect from. pair of normal eyes.
Added strain like fine sewing, too
much reading and POOR light will use
them up so much sooner. Wage-earu-
ers have to sacrifice many things, in
Guiding eyes, but for absolute waste
Of vision there is no excuse.

OVERLAND TRAIL
IS SSELECTED
Pixies Peak Ocean To Ocean
Association Choose Route
Through Nevada

The Overland trail across Nevada
has been selected as a part of the
Pixies Peak ocean-to-ocean highway
according to a letter received yester.
day by Secretary Raymer OF the Com
mercial club from A. w. Henderson,
secretary-trcasurer of the Pixies Peak
Ocean-to-Ocean Highway association
who spent several days in Reno a few
weeks ago looking over the field. says
the Gazette.
Mr.. Henderson's letter is as follows !:
I'VE shall recommend afIiliation OF
the Overland Trail club as the Nevada
division of the Pixies Peak oceanic
Ocean Highway association.
"The situation as regards the route
from Reno west into California with
San Francisco terminal Is as yet in
an indefinite shape; but 1 believe that
we can work out a satisfactory route
ut is probable that there will also
be recommended a terminus at Lo.
Angeles with afiiliation of the Arrow
head trail as the Salt Lake-Los An

JUDGE COLEMAN HAS
MISSOURI POTATO PATCH

Justice Coleman, of the supreme
court intends to do his own potato
raising this year. He has heard of a
system OF intensified potatoculture
that he intends to try out on his
own account. Being a native OF the
"Show-me" state, the Judge doubt
less figures that he can get as good
results as did the subject of the
story told below.
A Kansas City (Mo) man, 1t is
said. has produced AZ bushels of
potatoes on a plot of ground eight
feet square. He did 1t by means of
what he calls a potato pen" and
maintains that anyone else can
equal his record.
He got his Idea from the potato
bin in his cellar. If the potato
sprouts could come out through the
chinks and crevices in the sides of
the bin in the cellar and crawl in
every direction after the light, why
couldn't they do the same thing
when put into dirt pile outdoors
So he built a potato pen in his
yard. II was six by eight feet inside
measurement, and six feet high. The
board sides were loosely put together,
leaving lots of cracks through which
the potato plants could seed the light.
Then he planted layer upon layer OF
potatoes. proper distance from the
sides of the pen and far enough apart
to allow room for every individual po,
tato hill. The layers of dirt between
paintings were about six inches deep
and there were two-inch layers ot
dressing. ~
He made most tester which could
he pulled out and put back in easily
Then he kept the pile properly water.
ed and let the potatoes grow. The
vines came out from the sides and
top and converted the wooden pen into
a living green hill. When the pota
toes were matured, he took out 40
bushels of fine potatoes one year 80
bushels the second year and ~ bush
els the last year.
The potatoes can be plant later
than they can in the open fields, he
claims. With the moisture, wentila
tion and drainage properly regulated
he believes good crop is always
assured.
II his scheme is one that actually
works when tried by other people II
will mean n big thing to this country
and TO the world. The family with
the smallest back yard will be able
to raise enough potatoes to supply
their own table. There Is no use in
devoting acres TO a crop that can be
raised on few square feet of ground

LOVELOCK POTASH FIND
Is STILL ATTRACTING

Joe Enzensberger, of the Enzens-
berger laboratories, and also OF the
governments special potash develop
ment service, will be in Lovelock to
examine the recent potash strike
there, according to letter written To-
cal men who have sent samples and
descriptions of the find TO him for
analysis.
Since the original rush there have
been few locations, but a continual
stream of samples to the university
and TO San Francisco have been mail
ed out by those who have taken up
claims.
Returns, so far, indicate that the
ground already staked out will, for the
most part, run from FIVE and one-hali
TO eight per cent potash, which is suf-
ficiently above commercial grade to
warrant the belief that n new and big
industry may spring up within a short
distance of the city limits. Those who
have claims are so far refusing small
sums of money for them, and although
it is known that several offers have
been made, there have so far been
none OF the locators willing to sell
their property at this stage of the
game.

Wild Enthusiasm When Ameri.

For Parade Tomorrow

PARIS. July "a battalion of
American troops arrived in Paris to-
day for big Fourth of July parade
tomorrow.
The Americans were greeted by
wildly enthusiastic crowds which
packed the streets through which
they marched to Neuilly barracks,
where they are quartered.
AS the troops swung through the
streets French girls pinned bouquets
with American flags on the soldiers
breasts. French soldiers who are
here from the front on leave grasped
the hands of the Americans and
marched with them. Tomorrow will
be a notable day in French history and
1t is calculated to make ties between
the American and French people
which will never sever.

A FRIGHTFUL STORY
FROM SALT LAKE

A story coming from Salt Lake City,
and which seems to be authentic, is
quite on a parallel with some Of the
stories coming from Belgium OF Ger
man atrocities. This story was told
by Salt Lake woman, whom 1t con-
Germs. to friends in Elko.
AS is well known young men OF the
Mormon faith are sent out as mission
aries to all parts of the world. The
son of this woman was sent to Ger
many where he spent several years.
His time abroad had nearly expired
and he wrote to his mother asking her
what she would like to have him bring
home TO her. In reply she said that
she would like to have the eyes of the
kaiser, because if he were blind he
probably would not commit the many
crimes upon humanity with which he
is charged.
Some time later the mother received
by mail two human eyes. and her son
has not since been heard from.
