WHEN CHRISTMAS VAS. IOUN6
To Understand Mysteries of the Yuls
tide, It Is Necessary to Search
Ancient History.

/ EA Y the midst of the rush ana
szsQI N excitement of Christmas
! EsS%Sl.S9 preparations certain ques-
S2l4f.4 tions will fash across the
mind, and we find ourselves
wondering why ii is that we do the
very same things Christmas after
Christmas. Why de- we hang stock
ings, light Christmas trees, trim our
homes and have plum pudding?
To understand the origin of these
customs we must wander far back
into the forgotten past-ages before
julius Caesar set foot on British soil,
or St Augustine told the story of the
Cross to the men Of Kent. Hundreds
of years ago--long before the year |
1.-The ancients, as we call the people
OF those times, all worshiped the sun,
the great giyer Of light and life. In
| the month OF March they built bic
ilfes TO 1t, asking 1t to shine upon the
seeds they had planted and warm
them into life. In the autumn they
| held another festival thanking the
sun for the harvest, and again in the
winter time, they held the greatest
festival of all to celebrate the coming
Of the springtime.
In ancient Egypt, in Assyria, in,
Greece, on Rom6p soil and in the
northlands these festivals were ceIe-'
brated year after year and always
about the same time, the winter one
being held about New Years time
Wherever the Roman eagle was
found, this feast was called the Sat
urnaia and it was marked by univer-
sal license and is7ed feeling
All at once Christianity appeared
upon the scene. As the policy of the
early church was to reconcile heather
converts to the new faith by adopting
some Of the heather customs and fes-
tivals, the new religion accepted and
retained many, and the result. as rs
easily seen, has seen the strange
medley Of pagan and Christian rites
which we use at Christmas time to-
day
After Britain was Christianized by
the Romans. the Saxons and northern
trilcs came. bringing their old north
ern rites. and rs Christianity at last
replaced naganispp she Christians kept
the old nagan rites merely changing
their nlenning.
For many years no two lands ce1e-
l,rstted The san,e day as the birthday
Of Christ They did not know the

hit this date has now become the
most important one in the worlds

PLANT AND PRESERVE TREES
One Of the Most Important Duties Laid
Upon the Individual and the
Community.

Trees are natures prime sources OF
food; their fruits and nuts gave sus-
tenance to the first tribes Of men and
are the sweetest and most nourishing
Of the earth's products.
Trees herald the spring with glori-
Gus banners Of leaf and bloom; they
clothe the autumn in garments of gold
and royal purple; barred to the WIN
ter's cold, they are the harp of the
winds, and they whisper the music OF
the infinite spaces.
Before the earth could be peopled
1t was set thick with trees, and when
man has run his course and the race
we know has disappeared In the COM
pleteness of its mission or perishes In
the destruction of its trees, the earth
will spring up again with new for
ests to shelter and sustain a new race
of men and beasts and birds to work
out a greater destiny. Perhaps If we
are wise enough to replenish our vast
ing forests and to make ourselves wor-
thy OF the gift of trees we may be per-
mitted to accomplish that greater
destiny which the Mighty Forester, the
Perfect Orchardist, the Loving Father
requires in the fulfillment of his sub
lime purpose.-Clarence Ousley, Assist
mt Secretary of Agriculture.

PLANNING FOR EARTH ROADS
Bearing That Location and Design Of
Dirt Roads Have on Future I'm
provement Emphasized.

prepared by the United States DEPART
ment OF Agriculture)
In view OF the present widespread
activity in every form Of road build
ing and since nearly all public roads
are laid out originally as earth roads,
the bureau Of public roads emphasizes
the bearing that the location and de-
sign of dirt roads have on future high.
way improvement. In locating and de-
signing public roads the following con-
siderations should be borne in mind:
Sharp curves should tbe avoided he
cause they are a menace to traffic.
The width should be ample for. We

ing the travelled way.
II road ever becomes Of any con-
siderable importance, its users prob
ably will demand that all the sleeper
grades be reduced to the lowest maxi.
mum that would conform to the gen.
eral topography of the region which
the road trayerses.
Let the road planners remember that
aside from the advantages to traffic
of a short route, each mile of addition
al road involves g considerable extra
yearly expense for maintenance, and
this alone may warrant the extra ex-
