CrowfOot Pine.

One Of the strange Christmas green's
that are gathered in this county is the
plant which seems to be called by most
persons "crowfoot." II is extensively used
in Christmas decorations. 1t Is not so
plentiful as 1t was a few years ago. but il
Is still rather common in many tracts OF
woodland. Il Is not generally cOnspicu-
Gus. because it likes TO hide under the
dead leaves and twigs that cover the floor
Of the woods. 1t does not grow on trees
or shrubs. as many city jewellers suppose.
1t has many names, popular among which
are running pine, spiral pine" OF run
ming CEDAR II is also known as ground
cedar. "festoon pine and bunch ever
green"
Though its appearance suggests to most
persons a resemblance to pine or cedar, II
Is about as far removed from these in the
matter Of relationship as is possible In the
plant world II is a member Of the moss
and fern families. One Of the names by
which II is known to some country people
Is "stagh0rn moss, and that is not a bad
name. Still another name is "wof's claw"
because Of the resemblance Of the claw
like shoots to the toes Of wolf In some
parts Of the United States 1t is called
creeping Jennie"
II belongs to the genus called lycopo-
dium. flowerless herbs with an erect, pros
trate or creeping stem that Is widely
branched. There have been classified
more than one hundred species growing
in all the temperate and tropical parts Of
the world, and 1t is believed that the spe-
cies called "staehorn moss" is the com
monest OF them all. Out OF this plant is
made an inaammable powder sometimes
called vegetable sulphur" but better
known as lycopodium powder. used In
fireworks and In flashlights. Out Of lyco-

White Gifts for the King" has been
adopted by the Baptist Church of Rock
vile for a Christmas service this wear,
Iwenty-four young ladies' and many chill
dren will be used to render the pageant
and the music. Each member of the
Sunday School will present for the King a
white gift of self, service, or substance
All gifts will be to Him. For many weeks
those who are to participate in the service
nave been working untiringly for the sue
cess OF the occasion, and it is hoped that
the attendance may be very large on
Christmas night at 8 O'Clock.
One by one the cadets at the Rockville
Academy are increasing in number. This
is matter of delight to the many who
revere the old institution of learning. An
other young man recently entered the
school, in the person of John o. Young,
son of Mr.. Robert Young. of Buck Lodge,
this county. Major Thomas, the principal,
has high admiration for his band of
youngsters. He is attracted to them by
their studious habits, followed by marked
Improvement, and their eentlemanly con-
duct. And their progress in military in
struction is not less noticeable is equal
to that made in other branches of study.
Today at P. M. the student body will 90
through some public literary exercises at
the school and then be given Christmas
holiday until the End of January. In the
meantime Major Thomas and his wife will

Red Cross Christmas Eve.
p Mcclellan. Admission, Dec. 8.

A Red Cross Christmas Eve is being
planned by the organization for use by
millions Of its members throughout the
United States. In every home and place
Of business there is wanted a Red Cross
Service Flag during Christmas week. Each
member is being urged to light a candle
behind the flag promptly at 1880 O'Clock
on Christmas Eve. and to keep it lighted
until 8 O'Clock. All churches are asked to
chime their bells at half-hour intervals
between the same hours. Red Cross work
ers will be organized into groups and 90
singing Christmas carols through their
neighborhoods.
Each Red Cross Service Flag distributed
will have instructions printed on the back
encouraging the members to take part in
the ceremony on Christmas Eve by having
a lighted candle in his window. Pastors
will be asked to mention 1t in the sermons.
and educational institutions will be asked
for the privilege Of explaining to the chill
dren the significance Of the custom. 1t is
expected that the desire Of the community
to participate in the Christmas Eve core
mony will be an interesting inducement
for the securing Of new memberships
