Do the Greeks Also
 Lean to Isolation :?

THILE the patriarch of the Greek wv church is not civil ruler, his voice is nevertheless potent not only in Greece itself, but among the millions of Greeks residing outside that realm.
 The patriarch has sent a word of warning from Constantinople respect ing the return of Constantine, saying he is comprehensive that Greece will be stripped of the fruits of victory be- cause she has offered the throne to an enemy of the allies.'
 It is certain that Greece has suf- fered internationally through the over throw of Venizelos and the recall of Constantine. Venizelos stood for a greater Greece, one not afraid to as sume the role of world power and retain the territory which his astute statesmanship had created.
 The anti-Venizelos plebiscite appar- cntly indicates that Greece has decided to return to the smaller sphere of Influence exercised by it prior to the

Draft Horses of Boston
 Enjoy a Christmas Tree

6r5HE Massachusetts Society for the
 H Prevention of Cruelty to Ami malS gave a Christmas tree to the draft horses employed in Boston's business district. It was set up in Postoffice square. The society's guests nibblcd apples and Jumps of sugar from the tree and ate from feed bags filled with sugared corn on the cob, carrots and oats. Their grinning drivers were not overlooked. They had sandwiches, doughnuts and coffee.
 The horse has served man well in peace and war. Honor is paid to the conqueror in bronze or marble who bestrides his mighty charger, but in mary cases his four-footed friend eonaled him in courage and endurance, # aot in intelligence. The fruitful fields of the earth have been titled to a large extent by horses. The part they have played in the progress of civilization is an honorable one, char acterized by great patience, a cheerful endurance of hardship and a spirit of accommodation not equaled by the more temperamental mule. They have worked faithfully side by side with man and when his days were over de- corously pulled the hearse that carried him to his last resting place.
 The war horse, the fire. horse and the race horse have won the admi- ration of poets and painters, but the draft horse has been, for the most part, unhonored and unsung. The dog may be mans best friend, because he has a more active brain and more engaging qualities as a companion, but most dogs are on-producers, while every horse in some way earns his own living, from the kings of the turf to the four footed drudge be- tween the shafts of peddler's cart.
 In these days when the motor car is supplanting the horse in our cities and the tractor is taking his place on the farm, when most of the fire horses have been retired on a pension or otherwise disposed of and the fly ing stage coach that used to frighten timorous old ladies by speeding a good 16 miles an hour belongs to the past, it is good to know that a few horses were remembered at Christmas time and were given a feast that brought temporary forgetfulness of biting winds and arduous toll.

Tennessee Man for
 Cabinet Position

|WHlLE the president-elect has
 WV maintained an absolutely open mind on the matter of cabinet posi- tions, he has done nothing to discour- age the hope and expectation of southern republicans that at least one of his official family would be chosen from the south.
 It has been felt that this would be worthy recognition of the fact that the solid south was broken and that party expediency would prompt the party leaders to wish to hold the ground gained and hope to make still further inroads next time. Of course, loyal democrats have their own ideas about that, but even so, southern democrats are interested in seeing representa- tive southerner in the next cabinet.
 All eyes are naturally turned to- ward Tennessee and the cabinet pros pect which that state offers, because Tennessee was the most notable ex- ample of switching from the demo- cratic to the republican column. Ten nessee offers c. H. Huston of Chat tanooga.
 MT. Huston is first of all business man. He is said to know little of politics, but consented to manage the republican campaign in Tennessee largely on the ground that he could make his appeal to business men and on this issue hoped to carry many of his democratic friends and asso- ciates with him. How successful his plan of campaign was is now a mat ter of history.
 Alabamians who know MT. Hust best are his strongest packers for cabinet honor. Aside from the appeal the Huston advocates can make to the President-elect on the ground of his service to the party MT. Huston is highly successful business man with extensive interests which touch not

Notes

Have you seen the Tree Sparr-
ows fitting about? You will know
them by the blackish-brown spot
in the middle of the breast. The
top of the head is a reddish-brown
and there is considerable brown on
the wings. The breast is light
shaded with drab.
The Tree Sparrows are with us
only in winter. They are natives
Of Canada and live there during
the summer months and come to
us only when the snow covers
their food supply of weed seeds.
They are soclable little birds and
always seem to be in the best of
spirits regardless of the weather.
Watch them feeding on an old
weed stalk which is above the
snow. They keep up a constant

They are often found with the
Junco's (snowbirds). Their song is
strong, sweet and musical ending
in low MARBLE.
Watch for the Tree Sparrows in
the flocks of birds in the fields
and gardens. Look for the spot in
the breast and you will not be mis-
taken. They are clearing our fields,

for the next years crop. Early in
the spring they will leave us and
go back to their home in the
North.

In 1891 a mother first saw an

the child Wounded-with-many-
