FIRST CHRISTMAS OBSERVANCE

It is said that Christmas was first
observed in the year SO and that it
was not until the 1877 that it was
made solemn feast. Pope Teles-
phorus decreed that it should be cele-
brated by all Christians in that year.
On one early Christmas day the Rom
an Emperor Diocletian, hearing that
the Christians assembled in their
church were engaged in celebrating
the birth of Christ, commanded that
the doors of the church be closed and
the building set on fire. This was
done and six hundred persons lost
their lives in the burning church.

LUMBER MAY
RISE AGAIN
Renewal of Demands From Auto
Manufacturers, Together With
Increase in Building, Is
to Be Expected.

AS a result Of the continued slow
ing up Of demand and accumulation
Of stock at producing points, lumber
prices have continued slowly TO de-
cline during the last week, says the
American Lumberman, Of Chicago.
While lumber prices. both wholesale
and retail, show marked declines
from prices prevailing earlier in the
year. these declines have come slowly
and steadily-unlike reductions on
automobiles and some other commodi-
ties. which came with a suddenness
that was startling. Reports from a
large southern pine producing center
show that prices on PALS No. l COM
mon have receded from an average
of 1880 per thousand feet on May
% this year to an average of $36.12
on September %. These are f. O. b.
mill prices. Deductions on the bet
ter grades have been made in about
the same proportion.
Retail lumber dealers in Chicago,
in order to stimulate building and set
an example for dealers In other lines,
have reduced prices on yellow pine
dimension lumber % to 25 per cent
under prices that prevailed last
spring Reductions on maple and
oak flooring have run from II to 30
per cent, while hardwoods in general

NEW ASSEMBLY
OF~PALESTINE
After Delays and Postponements Of
Nearly Two Years, Delegates
at Last Gather for
Meeting.

JERUSALEM, Palestine, Oct. T.
After delays and postpon ements
covering period Of nearly two
years. the constituent assembly of
Palestine, to which delegates have
been elected by the entire adult
Jewish population of the country,
convened here today, for the purpose
of adopting such legislation as may
be deemed essential for the political
organization of Palestine's Jewry.
The assembly, which has now the
sanction OF Sir Herbert L. Samuel,
British high commissioner to Pales-
tine, will also be called upon to
establish the status and functions OF
the courts of arbitration.
The last prior date which had been
fixed for the meeting of this body
was May 6, but on that day Jerusa-
lem was recovering from a bloody
clash between the Arabs and the
Jews. The military authorities there
upon forbade the converting of the
assembly, owing TO fear that it would
serve to create more friction and
possibly lead to new riots.
The plan for the constituent as
sembly was worked out at several
preliminary conferences Of represen-
tatives of all political parties in
Jewish Palestine during the winter
Of 1913, and it was hoped that its
first meeting could be held during
the following spring. But the ultra
religious elements In Palestine's
Jewry held that the extension Of suf
frage to women on a basis of equality
with male voters was in violation of
tradition. The agitation against uni
versal suffrage was SO strong that
the Zionist commission, under whose
auspices the preliminary conferences
had been held. felt compelled to post
pone the elections. They made IT
clear, however, that it would not
Yield to the demand that women, be
excluded from seither voting for or
being candidates as delegates 10 the
assembly.
The elections were finally held last
April, and the women not only voted
in large numbers, but several were
elected as delegates, two from Petach
Tfkvah, the Oldest Jewish agricultural

1T WAS A
BUSY CHRISTMAS

Merchants in all lines were kept
busy the last few days before Christ
mas, but among all to whom Christ
mas brought extra work, and in his
case without extra emoluments, none
were kept more constantly on the jump
than the postmsatcr. .srd his asss7ta9ts.
Normally, the malls passing through
this office are much heavier than those
passing through most postoffices in
towns of this size, but with the re-
ceipt of Christmas packages and the
mailing out of similar tokens, the
local office was almost swamped at
times. The incoming and outgoing
mails were measured by the truck load
and those loads were made up of hun
dreds of individual pieces of small
mail that had to osbe handled separately
going into or out of the office. Bor-
rowing an expression that was made
popular by an eminent gentleman now
deceased it is no eXaggeration to say
that the entire postal force was work
ed to "frazzle."
