0NE Of the most beautiful legends
~ Of Christmas is that Of the Glas-
tonbury thorn. The thorn tree grew
at Glastonbury Abbey, in Somerset
shire, and was supposed to have de-
veloped from the staff Of Joseph Of
Arimathea. According to the legend,
Joseph came to Glastonbury and while
he was resting on a hill, afterward
known as Weary All hill, he stuck his
staff In the earth. The stah immedi-
ately grew green and budded, and at
Christmas time 1t blossomed into
beautiful flowers.
One chronicler states that during
Queen Elizabeth's reign the thorn had
q double trunk. but that a somewhat
bigoted Puritan, who disliked the tree
because to his mind it smacked OF
popery. started to cut it down, and
succeeded in demolishing one Of the
trunks. A miracle rescCd the re-
naming trunk Of the tree by causing
a chip of wood to fly up and hit the
Puritan in the eye, while at the same
time he slipped and cut his leg.
Later the tree was grubbed up, but
q number Of smaller trees raised from
slips of the original are said to be
owned By persons in the neighbor-
hood.

to get something out Of it more than
at present. The experience Of La
bette county with its patrol system
is interesting, as related by the coun
ty engineer:
1--WE have at present four Of these
patrolmen, each one taking care Of
approximately ten miles Of road.
Each man is furnished with the fol-
lowing tools by the county: One small
grader, two drags, pillow slips. shOvels,

He furnishes himself and the team
for the sum Of 1925 month the year
round and works on the road every
day that the weather permits. After
each rain the patrolman will Of course
not be able to drag ten miles OF road
before some OF II becomes too dry so
we have given them instructions to
hire what extra help Is needed TO drag
all OF their section when II should
be dragged. This extra help is paid
for by the county In addition to the
patrolman's salary. All work done
by the patrolman's section Of road Is
under his direct supervision and done
on orders from the county engineer
only. The patrolman hires the men
himself and is responsible for the
condition Of his section OF road at
all times.
"The county has a county road sys-
tenn OF 30 miles and we plan to
take care Of the heaviest Travelled Sec
ton Of this system with the patrol
men. the sections carrying the light

1.-THE results that have been OBJ
tanned here in this county with the
patrol system are very encouraging
and the board Of county commission
ers as well as the public are more
than pleased with the system. Our
only regret Is that we do not have the
