MistIetoe Superstition.

Mistletoe is in many countries not admitted to the house before New Years eve for fear of some dire disas- ter. This seems a relic of the re- ligious ban long placed upon the Druidic plant, which by reason of its historic connection with heathenism has been excluded from the decoration of churches and from Christian sculp- ture. It appears in old English ec- clesiastical art only at Bristol cathe- dral, where both leaf and berry are carved upon the remarkable tombs which were probably designed by some artist monk in the household of the Berkeleys. The association of the mis- tletoe with Christmas did not arise until long after the Reformation. Knowing nothing about the parasite which is not native in Scotland, and is still rare there-Sir Walter Scott con- mits a terrible "howler" in his intro duction to the sixth canto of Mar mion." Describing the delights of a medieval Christmas, he sends his "merry men" to gather mistletoe fin the wood," where they could not pos sfbly have found 1t at that period.

E. Jordan Wins
Second Debate
Gets Unanimous Decision Over
Petoskey High School.

Last Friday night at the high school,
East Jordan won unanimous decision
over the Petoskey high school in the
debate on the question of Universal
Military Training. Petoskey took the
affirmative and East Jordan the mega
tive. The debate was one of the best
heard in East Jordan and although East
Jordan got the unanimous decision the
Petoskey team WAS unusually strong.
They came prepared to the utmost to
win the debate for they had figured
that if they could defeat East Jordan
they would stand an excellent chance
of winning the championship of this
district.
One of their speakers, Mr.. Washburn,
was particularly good, but on the
whole East Jordan had them outclassed
in both augmentation and delivery.
East Jordan was represented by Carl
Ellison, Paul Franseth and Conard
Hughes, all of whom acquitted them
selves in very splendid manner.
The next debate is with Alpena on
Feb'y 9th, and is to be held at Alpena.
East Jordan again takes the negative
of this debate and will be represented
by the same three speakers.

Farmer Singed Hog With
Gasoline; Never Again

Richard Benninger Of Terry
township, Pa, sought a short cut
In butchering. Instead Of heat
ing barrel of scalding water
to plunge his hog In, he sought

was rescued by his son, who
smothered the flames with
