I Christmas time is drawing neal
again, and many people who were
here last Christmas are here no more
Many have moved away and many
have entered into eternity end viii
no more be on earth. So many chang
es has been made since last year
many who were happy on last Christ
mas are burdcned down with grief
and sorrow this year. How many
of us are thankful that we have been
spared to live, no doubt there isn't
many who have given it a thought.
Before another New Year shall dawn,
much less another Christmas, many
of us who were so graciously spared
the opportunity of life this year, may
be resting in the dear old mother
earth or may have great sorrows
heaped upon our shoulders to bear.
Those who are in distress have my
sympathy and / am sure they have
the sympathy of all the rest Of you
good readers. There are many poor
little children who will not know there
was a Santa Claus this year. Why
not all who are wealthy and can af-
ford lots of Christmas presents help
those poor little children and orphan
children; why not make their Christ
mas "a merry one instead of over
loading yourself with Injuries. Were
those who are able might do on half
they buy for Christmas, and donate
the other half to those who will no
doubt not have anything to make
their Christmas n merry one and !
am sure you will feel better over it
and you will also be rewarded by God
for your good deed. God loves the
poor people just as dearly as he loves
the rich. He looks on all people with
the same eye. He loves all with the
same everlasting love. But there are
not many people who will think of
the situation of others in this way.
But I sincerely hope everyone will
have happy Christmas.

NO SIGNS ON THE HIGHWAYS
San Diego Bars Things That Obstruct
the Motorists View of Danger
Gus Curves

All signs, stands or distractions Of
any kind must at once be removed
from the public highways or rights of
way in and about San Diego, CAL, by
virtue Of an ordinance passed by the
county board Of supervisors. After
listening to specific instances of the
placing Of advertising signs in such q
way that they INSTRUCTED the motor
lists view Of dangerous curves and
thereby menaced those who use the
highways. the supervisors agreed that
the practice should be stopped imme-
diately.
The new ordinance will affect the
placing of advertising signs on county
highway bridges, or over the highways
at any point. It also will force the
vendors of fruit or other produce along
the county roads to keep their stands
away from the highways and off the
right of way.

HONE Z
TOWN y
lFL PSI ]
PREDICT SMALL TOWN BOOM
Residential and Industrial Readjust
ment May Come During the
Next Twenty Years.

Is this country to see very soon a
"boom'' Of the smaller community as
contrasted with the great city? The
editor Of the William Feather Magazine
of Cleveland suggests it, as follows
within the next twenty years it
seems certain that two movements
will take place that will enlarge the
small town
zone Of these will be the migration
of business and professional men and
their families to towns Of 5000 to
10000 located within a fifty-mile radius
of cities in which they work during
the day.
1.-THE other will be the decentraliZa-
ton Of industry and the movement of
both factories and working forces from
the city to the small towns.
with improved living conditions,
factories will favor small town sites,
figuring that they will thus reduce their
labor turnover, and save enough in
overhead. taxes and interest on ex-
pensive city sites, more than to COM
pensate them for the disadvantage of
doing business in a small town.
"If this adjustment does take place
it will solve many of our most per
picking problems, for there is no Ques-
ton that our cities are getting too
big. A city, like a business, can get
so large that the law of diminishing
returns begins to operate. 1t is an
established principle that when a
business grows beyond a certain point
the return On the capital invested
decreases.
'The same principle applies to cities.
Big cities have such problems as trans
portation, housing, health, fire and
police protection, from which the
small town is largely free.
THE factors which are doing much
to hasten this decentralization are the
automobile, the motion picture and the
talking machine, all Of them recent
inventions.
"The automobile has shortened the
distance between the small town and
the big city by rs per cent.
1.-THE motion picture has given the
small town the cheapest and most pOpu-
lar form of entertainment ever de-
vised, while the talking machine has
enabled the people to hear the worlds
best music right in their own homes.
"One other force has aided and is
cheap printing and low postal rates.
National weeklieS and mOnthlies,
through their editorial and advertis-
ing columns, have brought the worlds
news and markets to every door,"

Labelling the Washington Trees.

Following correspondence with Of
fcers of the American Forestry as
ISOLATION, Colonel Sheriff., the engineer
officer in charge of public buildings
and grounds, has arranged to label
the principal trees in Washington's
parks, so that everybody interested
may know their identity.
The approved design for the label
is a small cast iron plate curved to
fit the trunk and screwed securely into
place. On the surface of this plate
is fastened an aluminium plate SHOW
ing in embossed letters the common
and scientific names of the tree
These plates will be placed on about
1000 trees, including all the rare and
least-known specimens, and as many
of the indigenous and better-known
specimens as possible. 1t is said that
the collection Of trees in Washington
includes one or two specimens Of prac-
tically every tree in the civilized world
that will grow in that climate.

GLORY OF THE COAST RANGE
No Wonder the "Save the Redwoods
League" Is Active and
Persistent.

But the redwood (seQuOia semper-
virens) is the chief glory of the coast
range. Beginning in the meridian of
Santa Cruz. where we find a colossal
colonnade of these redwOods, they
reach on into Oregon, in a magnificent
forest belt ten miles wide and four
hundred miles long. No other region
on the continent shows so continuous
a march of these giant trees.
It is All hour of joy to quit the belt
of pines and Oaks-none Of them very
old--and to come suddenly into the
presence Of these mighty redwoods
that belong to the centuries. Many Of
them wear lightly their thousand years
of battle with the storms.
Sometimes you will come upon a
giant redwood with a group Of young
redwoods standing in friendly circle
round him. Often have I lain down to
sleep within such a magic chamber
of fragrant trunks and boughs.-

Markham.

CARRIED SECRET TO GRAVE
Canadian Prospector Refused e

states, Nhe. struck camp for the night
near what later discoveries indicate
must have been a large body of gold
bearing ore. Without knowing what
this ornamental stone was, he took
home a big piece to use for a door
weight A while after this a geOlO-
gist who was visiting Gilbertson identi-
fed the ore, and rush to stake
claims along the Wapshe ensued. But
the unwilling prospector would never
tell where he made his great find. In
later years he became insane and died,
still refusing to. reveal the location.

that country is being made in hope
