Stories of The
Christmas Carols
Prepared for Community Service by
Prof. Peter w. Dykema, Uni
versity of Wisconsin,
Madison, Wis.

Christmas Carols is a term used to de
scribe a large variety of songs which are
to be used during the Christmas season
They are of two main types-the religious
and the conyivial: the one celebrating the
birth of Jesus: the other eXalting mirth
and feasting. Only lately has much atten-
tIon been given to this material by serious
musicians. During the 18th century the
carol literature was of the humblest kind
Such material as was available was
handed on by tradition. Many of the
Older ones have doubtless been entirely
lost and many that we now hear have
been considerably mOdUrnized. Davis
Gilbert seems to have been the first per
son who attempted to fix these vanishing
memories Of the past.
The Reformer publishes herewith the
third Of list Of 10 of the best Christmas
Carols which are to be used in Brattle-
boro during the Christmas season under
the inspiration Of Community Service:

The Love of Color.

Vegetable dyes were used by the
aborigines of all parts of America for
ornamenting their utensils, staining
their baskets and fabrics. Many Of
the textiles found in the prehistoric
graves of Peru are remarkable for
their beautiful and permanent colOrs.
Few of these, unfortunately, can be
traced to the plants from which they
we're derived. The Introduction Of
foreign dyes has been disastrous.
Their cheapness and the facility with
which they can be transported has
caused them to be widely adopted
in place of native dyes, the prepara-
tlon of which is fast becoming obso-
Iete. The ancient MeXiCans made use
of number OF beautiful pigments,
mostly vegetable, for the picture-writ-
ing Of their celebrated cOdices. Near
ly all Of their colors can be Identified.

TemperamentaI Bird.

The raven is bird among birds,
self-reliant and formidable, Natural
lists, says a writer in the New York
Sun, call him the most wary, the most
amusing, the cleverest Of birds. He is
also described as grave, dignified and
sedate. The bill of the raven is a
formidable WEAPON, strong, stout,
sharp at the edges and curved to-
ward the tip. 1t is his one weapon Of
offcnse, but it answers the purpose Of
two or three. Like the dirk of the
old-time plainsman, 1t is available as
a dagger or as a carving knife; and
1t can also be used as a pair Of
pinchers. with one blow 1t can kill
a rat, and the raven can easily drive
it through the spines of a hedgehog.
If it is true that the raven will never
attack a man, probably it is not so
much from lack of courage as from
the birds keen intellectual perception
Of what is unwise.

THRIVES
ON POISONED OATS

Bozeman, Mont, May ia COM
bination of poisoned oats and Friday
the Thirteenth has no t~errors for the
domestic chicken. The annual Visit
or's Day at Montana State College on
Friday, May Is, saw the biggest
crowd on record at the institution.
To prove his contention that gopher
bait will not kill chickens or wild
birds of the same family, Prof. K. A.
Cooley of the entomology department
placed a rooster in a cage and fed him
for the entire day upon poisoned oats
from one of the gopher bait sacks.
The chicken had nothing during the
day but poisoned oats and clear water.
The rooster ate the poisoned grain
readily. After the days program
was over he still was eating oats,
drinking water and stopping occas-
ionally to crow over the success of
the experiment. Many farmers saw
the demonstration and commented up
on the fact that the experiment prov
ed worthless the contention of many
people of the state that gopher bait
is killing grouse and prairie chickens.
The tame and wild chickens are Of
the same family.

eve have learned to know that that
Boy Scouts of America can at all
times be depended upon for loyal,
efficient, and patriotic service, and |
am delighted to have your assurance
that we may count upon their united
help in this Forest Protection move
ment, which is Of such vital concern
to every American citizen. Sincerely
yours,-Warren G. Harding"
The Boy Scouts Of America, are
gratified that both the President and
Mrs. Harding are personally vitality
interested in the movement and have
expressed themselves as DESTROYS of
helping US in some practical way.
1t is for US to avail ourselves Of this
and every other opportunity to have
members of the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea worthy Of such confidence.
The Boy Scouts of Glasgow, Mon
tana will devote their efforts to this
end in the way Of tree planting, about
the school grounds and in various
other places in the city.
Plans for Memorial day are as yet
undecided.

thousand dollars, given by the Great
Northern Railroad Company to Sc

Recorder Bretzke and his assistants
