Xmas Is Quiet
In independence

Independence, Or, Dec. 27.-
Most of the business houses in this
city were closed from Friday even
ing until this morning and it SEEM
ed as if the townspeople enjoyed
two Sundays successfully. The City
Bakery and Craven & Walkers con
fectionery store were open all day,
and the Williams drug store open
until noon on Christmas day. The
barber shops opened at o'ciocs
in the afternoon and remained
open until o'clock. The postof-
flee was closed only a couple of
hours for Christmas dinner and the
rural mail carriers made their reg
ular trips. Christmas was a quiet
day in Independence. Several
Christmas parties were held in the
city and in the evening different
kinds of amusement entertained
the many who We're here for the
annual Homecoming occasion.

best of reasons for keeping some
facts to himself. In the first
place, he had never lived anv-
where except in Pleasant Valley
In the second place. he was scarce
-ly more than two months old
when people began to notice him
in the neighborhood Of the STONE
wall And in the third nlaca
since he was somewhat timid he
thought it just as well If peon1e
didn't know where he made his
home.
He was - as his friends often
said - an odd person. For in
stance. he had always looked old
from the very first. And when
everyone began to call him pad
dy," it was only to be expected
that he would not care to let peo-
pie know that he was not even a
year old = instead of ninety or a
hundred, as they supposed. Be-
sides, probably nobody would have
believed the truth. SO he never
told his age.
Indeed, there were some who
claimed that Daddy Longlegs must
be much more than only a hun
dred years old. They thought that
his queer. tottering walk alone was
enough to show his great age.
But it is not strange that his
walk seemed a bit uncertain. When
a person has eight feet it is to be
expected that he will have a little
trouble managing them. 1t is to

Law Needs Amendment

Frenzed financing by John L. Etherdge and his meteorc
resulting in the failure of the bonding house OF Morris
Brothers. n and the consequent mung OF thousands OF
investors was made possible through absence of state super

Under existing laws dealers in municipal securities are

When prylng persons put that
question to him, Daddy Lopglegs
always waved his eight legs in eV-
cry direction and answered "Over
there!"
OF course such a reply told moth
ing to anyone. And it led to
good many disputes among Daddy
Longlegs' neighbors. No two agree
as to which of Daddy's legs really
pointed toward the place where he
dwelt.
Anyhow, the willy gentleman
was frequently seen scrambling
about the stone wall by the road
side, near Farmer Green's house.
And little Mr.. Chippy, who made
his home in the wild grapevine
that grew on the wall. always
claimed that Daddy Longlegs was
a neighbor of his.
Hes a good neighbor, too" Mr.
Chippy told his friends. Hes
very quiet and he never quarrels.
And he's always pleasant and
ready for chat. It's too bad
that he's deaf. I've asked MN AT
least a dozen times how old he is;
but he never seems to hear me-"
Old Mr.. Grow, who liked moth
ing better than prying into other
peoples affairs, slowly shook his
head at that. And coughing slight
" he remarked in a hoarse voice
that there must be reasons why
Daddy Longlegs wouldn't tell
where he came from, nor where
he was living, nor how old he was.
But Mr.. Grow wouldn't say what
he thought might be the reasons.
Although he was a wise bird, there
were some things he didn't know.
Now, in a way, Mr.. Crow was
right. Daddy Longlegs had the

Eola News

Eola, Or, Dec. 2S.-Mr. and
Mrs. Thomas Holman entertained
about sixteen OF their relatives
Christmas day, the honor guest be-
ing George p. Litchfield, an old
and highly respected pioneer of Sa-
lem and father of Mrs. Holman.
All of Mr.. Litchfield's children and
grandchildren were present with
the exception of his son, Charles,
and family of Portland, who were
unable to be present. The house
was beautifully decorated in the
Christmas colore and peace and
good will prevailed as old Santa
distributed the presents from the
Christmas tree. The Holmans and
guests enjoyed the distinctive pleas
ure of eating a plumb pudding sent
from England by Mr.. Holman's rel
atives.
Mr., and Mrs. e. T. Hamer and
family enjoyed their Christmas din
ner with Mrs. Hamers mother,
Mrs. H. A. Johnson of Salem.
Mr.. and Mrs. L. Pugh entertain
Christmas dinner.
Mr.. and Mrs. L. A, Ferguson
were hosts to eighteen Of their
relatives for Christmas dinner, the
guests being the families of Mr..
and Mrs. Ferguson. The house was
beautifully decorated for the occa-
sion and the day was pleasantly
spent in music, social chat and
playing all of the new games. Old
Santa Claus brought the kiddies
Christmas presents.
Miss Esther Trozel, our teacher,
left for Portland Saturday morning
where she will spend the holidays
with her parents and friends,
One of the most enjoyable and
successful Christmas program ever
held in Eola was carried out Fri
day evening in connection with a
beautiful tree which was highly ap-
preciated by the large audience
present. The program rendered
was given entirely by the school
children with the exception of two
numbers, our teacher, Miss Troxel
deserves great credit for the sue
cess of the entertainment which
was entirely under her supervision.
Old Santa (H. M. Meade) was GER
tainly a leading star, He appeared
early in the program and took part
with the children which created
much merriment and pleasure for
all. The decorations were beauti-
full, Noah Kissel being chairman of
that committee and certainly show
ed talent along that line. r. j.
Ferguson did excellent work as
chairman of the finance committee
as through his efforts everyone
present was presented with a box
of candy and nuts.

She bent her head, considering
the question for a while in silence.
Then she said calmly:
There's one reason why did it
