A pleasant way to manage the re-
moval of the Christmas greens Is to
make a little ceremony of the perfor-
nance. On the sixth of January,
twelfth night, burn the wreaths and
branches of holly and evergreen. This
is an old, old custom and mean that
the entire household will nave good
luck for the coming year
In France and England q cake was
baked with a bean in it for the oc-
casion. When the cake was cut the
person who got the piece with the
bean in 1t was regarded as king for
the evening.

of party time out of the disposal of

My Own Recipes
Oysters are a good economical food

PLACE TABLET
 AS MEMORIAL

Boston, Nov. S.-The erection at Provincetown and Boston of memori- als to the five Mayf1ower passengers who died at these places will be the contribution of the MaSsa chusetts So- ciety of Mayfower Descendants to the celebration of the tercentenary of the Pilgrim landing. A tablet will be set in a powder at Provincetown and an other will be placed on the building in Spring Lane, Boston, now occupy ing the site of the last home of Mary (Chilton) Winslow, who is said to have been the first girl passenger to land at Plymouth.
 Four passengers died during the December days of 1920 while the Mayflower lay at anchor in Cape Cod harbor, now Provincetown. Two days before the little ship set sail for the permanent settlement at Ply mouth, James Chiffon, who had been one of the signers of the famous May flower Compact in Cape Cod harbor, died. A day before the little band had lost Mrs. Dorothy Bradford, first wife of Governor William Bradford by accidental drowning, and the deaths ocurred also of Edward Thomson, a servant and Jasper More, a child.
 Mary Chiffon, who was the daugh- ter of James Chiffon, sailed on for struggled through the trying times of the Colony's early days. She later married John Winslow and before 1860 they removed to Boston, where she died in 1879, having survived her husband by five years. She was the only Mayf1ower passenger to become | q, resident of Boston.

FIR. HUSSION IS BEST FARMER IN
 OLD SAYBR0OK
%As we SOW so shall ye rean,

D,
 That this scriptura1 phrase is appIi- cable in a natural way as well as in a spiritual manner has been made evident in the rustic seashore town of Saybrook, where the town committee
 on Farm Products Friday voted first prize to Rev. James V. Illusion, pastor of St. Johns Catholic church. The parish priest won first prize in both 'corn and potato producing for the season and ran a close second on the total points for the season pro- duce. was made known the reverend clergyman topped the list.
 Father Illusion was formerly as- sistant pastor of St. Charles church in
 this city unti1p romoted to the pas torate at Saybrook early last Decem-
 Der. He is a true lover of nature and
 was often a conspicuous figure as he
 travelled the highways on the outskirts
 of Bridgeport at a lively pace
 The town of Old Saybrook is a relic
 of Colonial days, and rep1ete with his
 toric sites. The principal industry of
 they illage is farming. The town
 charter, drawn up previous to the
 Revolutionary period, prohibits the
 locating within the township of any
 industrial plant and while Saybrook
 has population of over 1,2OO none of the inhabitants devote their time to any occupation other than farming, with the exception of a few of the younger set who are employed at the witch hazel factory in the town of
 Essex, about eight miles up the Con- necticut river.
 From this it may be gleaned that farming is the principal trade of the commounity. Considerable friendly rivalry exists between the farmers of this section. During the harvest sea- son the farmers from the countryside bring oh oice specimens of their pro- ducts and place them on exhibition at UTha a viewed by the judges appointed yearly
 at a meeting of the grange.
 Points are allowed according to the size and weight of the vegetable. Father Illusions field of yellow ban tam corn won first prize in late July He also captured first prize in Sep tember with a field of Country Gem t1emaan corn, the largest ear being B inches in length and A inches in cir conference. This ear of corn was named "Phin McCool," it being typi- cal of the mythical Irish giant of that name.
 Among the harvest of potatoes from | thee lergyman's garden were many. i the size and weight of which have | never been beheld by the farmers of I Saybrook. Considerable surprise and | wonderment was displayed by the na- | tives when Father Illusion submitted ] to the judges a bushel of potatoes | which he had gathered from his gar
 den, each tuber reaching a minimum | of two pounds weight.
 One of the most interesting facts | connected with the success of the | clergyman-farmer is that this was his
 first year at farming and he was | forced to compete with rival farmers i who have made that their occupation
 since childhood. His success is at- i tributable to the fact thath la | bored day and night, carefully watch
 ing for the result of his first farming | experience and his many Bridgeport | friends and admirers will rejoice at | the successful results accomplished by ] their former beloved clergyman.

Monument To
 General Grant

Washington, Nov. S.-Eighteen years in the making, a memorial to General U. S. Grant is nearing com pletion here and probablyNw will be un- yelled before the end of the year. It is in the form of a magnificent eques- trian statue of bronze, the second largest of its kind in the world, mounted on granite pedestal and fanked on the left by casting of a group of cavalry and on the right by group of artillery. both groups done in bronze. Two huge lions in stone at the foot of the pedestal complete the memorial.
 The equestrian figure stands 16 feet high, weighs 10,700 pounds and cost $250, 900. The memorial is located in the Botanic Gardens at the foot of the capitol and congress has ap- proved the removal of a section of the iron fence on the east front of the gardens to admit the statue and to provide space for spectators at the unveiling ceremonies.
 Authority for the creation of the memorial was given by Congress on February 23, 1901. The competition for the statue was held in 1902 and the award was to Henry M. Shrady a noted sculptor, of Elmsford, N. Y., consisting of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Daniel Chester French, Daniel H. Burnham and Charles F. McKim. The pedestal was designed by Edward Pierce Casey, of New York, associated with MT. Shrady, and was completed and put in place in 1906.
 The equestrian statue has just now been finished, however, and was shipped here in sections by motor | truck from New York city.
 The memorial to the famous gen eral and 18th President of the United | States will bear no inscription, ac
