BELONG TO HOLIDAY SEASON
Christmas Festivities Would Net Be Complete Without the Holly and
 the Mistletoe.

Several thousand tons of holly as we'll as hundreds of tons of lnistletoe are shipped over the railroads each year before the opening Of the holi- day season. The mistletoe s placed in small packages because it is easy to break of the tiny white bells. and the plant Is more rare and costly.
 Holly abounds all over the world. over 100 species having been deter mined, but only IA varieties are to be found in the United States. The finest American species of holly is the Hex Opaca. but the mountain holly is also choice variety. The English holly has sturdier leaf, and more vivid and lustrous green. The wood of the holly is very hard and smooth in the grain, and is almost equal to box wood for engraving purposes, while it's leaves are the emblem of fore thought because of the protection giy en to the buds by the defensive thorns.
 The holly, however, is nof so high ly prized for the Christmas season as the mistletoe, which is rare, delicatA and beautiful and the source of many. ancient Druidic legends. Tn .he Unit ed States mistletoe is chiefly found ip the southern. states. while that used in England is chiefly produced in the orchards of Normandy. It Is also the state flower of Oklahoma.

KHAKI AS VIEWED BY YOUTH
Army Called Place Where Collectors Cease From Troubling and Cal
 Iouses Leave the Feet.

Ideas about army life that persua- sive recruiting sergeants never heard of in all their various 1hitches" in the service. were brought out by the public schools of the country under the aus pices of the army and recruiting serv- ice
 Freedom from annoyance while in khaki is the theme of little girl in Ohio, who writes "One of the benefits of an enlistment is that you ain't all the time bothered by bill collectors
 'tYou get respect for law in the army" Montana boy is convinced. because '.the Constitution says Amer lea is country of free and ungovern- able rights"
 Another boy fin Illinois wishes teach CT was man so she could be sol- dier." Filled with the enthusiasm of a patent medicine prospectus, an Indi- ana school girl has this to say: "An enlistment is good for the mind, the liver, the lungs and the kidneys. It takes the callouses off the feet and puts them on the hands"

WOULD MAKE AN EXCEPTION
Captured German Captain Decided That on This Occasion He Would
 Forget About Honor.

Among the letters from France that have been printed in the Atlantic Monthly there is to be found this en- tertaining episode:
 The code of the German officers Is, never to surrender; but of course they cannot live up to 1t In recent raid sergeant know made a prisoner of a German captain who. as they walked to the rear. cursed his luck in fluent French. saying that he was caught unawares, that an officer never surrendered. but fought to the end.
 "Stop here, my captain. and let us consider this" said the sergeant seri- ously. sThere are several articles of your equipment to which my fancy runs. That watch. for instance. those leather puttees. and that fat purse saw you change to your hip pocket. Perhaps I can oblfge you and gratIfy my whim. Suppose you were suddenly to run-a quick shot would save your honor. and me the trouble of escorting you to the rear. And I am an excel lent shot, I assure you"
 But the German was not interested.

 If you knew that our troubles are not at all the troubles you're thinking l about. but very different" 'Please pardon me-" muttered humbly, and wished that Alice were not so sbewitching in a sailor hat. 1t may have have been the. hat or only Mrs. Farnsworth's pleading tone that brought me to a friendlfer attitude toward the universe and its visible inhabitants. The crowd thinned out. but we fingered, talking of all manner of things
 We. must come in again very soon,s sand Alice. "And next time we shan't run away. which was very naughty. I suppose when you begin a story you just have to keep 1t going or it will die on your hands. That's the way with our story, you know. Of course it's unkind to mystify you; but you are in the story just as we are"
 My mystification was certainly deep enough without this suggestion that was mere character in a tale whose awkward beginning aroused only the gravest approximations as to the con- clusion. She looked at her watch and continued: "Pm so absurd-really I am in avor So ,,opy xrovS <ho+ no one would ever put me in a book. Everyone would say no such person ever existedl It's incredible! And so have to pretend I'm in a story all the time. It's the only way l can keep happy.

 If I'm the hero," I replied in her own key. q shall begin making love to Alice at once."
 Alice, far from being disturbed by my declaration. nodded her head ap- provingly.
 "On. we had expected that! But you needn't be in hurry. In story like this one, that runs right on from day to day, we must leave a lot to chance. And there are ever so many chances
 Not all on the side of failure. I hope?"
 sWe must be going" She laughed. I wished she hadn't that characteristic little turn of the head that was so beguiling!
 Folly rode with us all the way to Barton. If anything sensible was ut- tered on the drive. I can't recall 1t. Our talk. chiefly of knights and ladies, and wild flights from imaginary enemies, had the effect of spurring Flynn to perilous spurts of speed.

 I "You know, I want very much to see MT. Bashford's old home and the place all our veteran retalners came from. At onef-yes. Good night!" Alice and Mrs. Farnsworth reached 1 the Tyringham on time to the minute. As I had spent the morning on a bench in/the park, analyzing my prob lems, found their good humor a, tric jarring.
 "You don't seem a bit glad to see us." Alice complained as she drew off her gloves. "How can any one be anything but happy after seeing that delicious Cock Robin? It is so deli ously drolI''
 1 "I haven't" I remarked with an attempt at severity, quite your knack Of ignoring disagreeabIe facts There was Montani right in front of me, jumping like a jack-in-the-box every time you fourished your fan. There's that fellow we've got locked up at Barton"
 "Just hear the man, Constance !" she interrupted with her adorable laugh we were thinking that he was only beginning to see things our way, the only true way. the jolly way, and here he cometh like a melancholy Jacques! We'll have none of iti''
 we must confess said Mrs. Farnsworth conciliatingly, ''that Mir. Singleton is passing through severe trial. We precipitated ourselves upon him without warning, and inn mediately involved him in a mesh of mystery. His imagination must have time to adjust itself.''
 They were spelling my appetite: was perfectly aware of that. I had ordered the best luncheon I knew how to compose, and they were doing full justice to it; but I was acting, I knew, like resentfui boy.
 "I love you that way" said Alice as stared vacantly at my plate. "But you really are not making yourself disagreeable to us-really he is not, SOuSlduCO!
 Mrs. Farnsworth affirmed this. l knew that I was merely being rude, and the consciousness of this was not uplifting. At the luncheon hour the influx of shoppers gives the Tyring- ham cheery tone, and all about us were people apparently conversing sanely and happily. The appearance of Uncle Basins ghost in the familiar dining room would have been well come diversion. I was speculating as to just what he would say about his widow and the whole mess at Barton when Mrs. Farnsworth addressed me pleadingly.

 If anything could have multiplied the existing complications, was anx- ious to know what they were; but her voice was so gentle, so wholly amiabie, that restrained an impulse to demand explanations.

 "Oh, we're in a very nice house. Constance and I: and we're just about having little supper. I wish you Ewere here, fsHt that can't be arranged. No; really it can't! We shall be motoring back to Barton tomorrow and hope you can join us. Let us have, luncheon and motor up to- gether."

This statement is made by the chief of the bureau of plant industry, United States department of agricul- ture, in his report on the progress of smyrna fig culture in California; Much of the success of this enterprise has been due to the fact that the de. partment has been able to maintain a scaprifig orchard at Loomis from which caprffigs have been distributed free to growers.
