XMAS TREES ARRIVE
TO DELIGHT kIDDIES

Stacks of Christmas trees have ar
rived in the city and are being placed
in position for the buying public by
merchants. From all indications the
supply will be up to standard and
dealers state that they expect larger
sale than during the past few years.
The United States uses annually be.
tween four and five million Christmas
trees, according to estimates of the
Forest Service, United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture. This equals ap-
proximately the combined consump-
Iion of England, Scotland and Wales,
and is about rs per cent greater than
that of Germany.
Christmas trees bear practically the
same fruit the country over, but the
variety of the tree itself varies &C.
cording to the locality. The fir is I'M
doubtedly the Christmas tree par-ex-

branches, and deep green, fragrant

Clergy May Become
Practicing Physicians
(Bv Associated Press)

LONDON, Dec. 2O-A controversy
is on among the poorly paid section of
clergymen who find themselves hard
hit by the high cost of living over a
novel suggestion put forward by DR..
Robert Rentoul. prominent Liver
POOL practitioner, that the clergymen
could augment their incomes by act
ing as doctors as well as parsons.
Dr. Rentoul advises young clergy
men to study medicine, take their de-
gree and combine body-curing with
soul-saving work.
Many clergymen do not look with
favor on the idea. They argue that
they have plenty to do already and
that local practitioners would bitterly
resent competition from them. One
wants to know where a poor curate is
to raise the E250 necessary to qualify
for a medical degree and others hold
that within a month the clerico-
medico's sermons would be thin, and
that the soul would suffer at the ex-
pense of the body

the upper peninsula Of Michigan to
Chicago or Detroit, is usually one of
the latest events in navigation each
winter. In the northeastern and lake
states, Balsam fir furnishes the bulk
of the Christmas tree trade. In the
south the Frazer fir is the favorite. In
Colorado and other Rocky Mountain
states, fir, though abundant, is difficult
of access. and the Lodge Pole pine and
occasionally the Douglas fir and En-
glemann spruce are used. On the Pa
cific coast the Christmas tree is often
the white fir. Spruce vies with fir in
popularity as Christmas trees.
