Potato Growers List Fields For Seed
Stock Inspection.

Probably as q result of the better
price received last year for certified
seed stock. Maine potato growers this
year have listed more than $500
acres for inspection by representa-
tives of the State departm mt of ag-
riculture. Many of these growers
will be disappointed, however. be-
cause they have started with stock
of no particular merit. over a Sc
res of years an average of AZ per
cent of the entries passed the seed
certification requirements, but this
year the percentage will probably BE-
lower. The mosaic standard has been
raised. This year field having as
much as per cent of mosaic disease
is disqualified for producing certified
seed. The best stock grown now is
that from strains imported from the
Canadian Provinces within the last
few years.

Hot bread is often thought to
cause indigestion, but the United

says that when it does so 1t is because
it lacks some of the characteristics OF
good bread, not because 1t is hot.

Keeping the Best Calves For Replace
ing Old Stock.

While calves from low-producing
cows are saved to maintain the herds
on some farms. on other farms and
in other sections, where higher-pro-
ducing cattle are kept, calves from
3OO-pound cows by purebred bulls
are often vealed because no market
is found for them as dairy stock. This
Is an economic waste which, accord
ing to reports received by the United
States Department of Agriculture,
the extension organization of Coos
County, Greg, is striving to elimi-
nate.
About 80 calves from the best
stock in Coos County were saved last
year by arrangements made with
farm bureaus of other counties to
take them when two weeks old at S12
a head. Grated and delivered at the
express office. Arrangements also
were made recently for a represen-
tative OF the klamath County extern
sion organization to spend 80 days
locating newborn calves OF good
stock and finding a dairyman to feed
them for two weeks before shipment
TO farmers in his own county.
The reports also say that calves 2
weeks old are shipped safely as far
as 500 miles, or for Is hours travel;
day-old calve can rarely be shipped.

TRIBUTE TO THE LEGION MEN
New Orleans Times-Picayune Praises
Conduct of Visitors During the
National Convention.

New Orleans is proud and glad to
have had the opportunity to entertain
the American Legion national conyen-
ton and heartily co~ngratulates San
Francisco upon IT'S capture of the
honor for 1923, according to an edi-
torial in the Times-Pieayune, n lead
ing New Orleans newspaper, printed
several days after the departure of
the Legionnaires.
"The Legionnaires as a body earned
the good opinions even of those few
Orleanians who because of rumors of
misdoings at Kansas City were slight
ly prejudiced against the gathering
the editorial states. Throughout
American Legion week good humor
and good order prevailed. The rare
instances of minor rowdyism or
rufflanism served only as exceptions
going to prove the general rule Of
splendid behavior-and of these ex-
ceptions some, perhaps the majority,
were chargeable TO local hoodlums
who took advantage of the Legion fes-
tivities to misbehave in the hope that
their offenses would be charged to the
visitors account. In 81 large an as
sembly some impostors, crooks and
evil-doers are almost Invariably found
but the careful work of the Legion
officials and the local police simply
restricted the activities of these I'M
~desirables.
"of harmless high jlnks' there was.
of course, a joyous abundance. New
Orleans, with Its carnival traditions,
shared in the fun of it all and rejolced
in the hilarlty which testified that the
lads of the Legion were having a good
time. OF wanton offense and of mn
licious mischief, American Legion
week was remarkably free. The wish
expressed by the Times-Picayune last
Saturday morning-that the Legion
naires would carry to their homes
'recollections of the convention as
pleasant as those they leave with us
came straight from the heart"
In a previous editorial the Times
Picayune stated:
THE. American Legion convention
closed yesterday afternoon will be
long and pleasantly remembered by
New Orleans. Accustomed as this
city is to great conventions and i'm
pressive parades, the Legion assem-
bly, and the insnirins. review stnged
last Wednesday made a distinctive mp
peal, an Impression of sturdy Ameri-
canism and militant patriotism not
soon to be effaced, and wholly favor
able"
And another editorial in the same
newspaper reads:
Their visit to US will lead, as we
hope, to.the return of many Of these
stalwart young Americans, to live and
grow with u.s."

The
First Christmas
By nanuis j. Hnoch.
In the WISCONSIN Farmer

MERRY Christmas! Merry Christmasi
| Clangs the heavy, deep-toned bell,
And all the world gives back the answer:
Christ is born, n all is we'll"
OVER nineteen hundred years age
there lived in the little town OF
Nazareth a humble carpenter and his
wife, Mary.
AT this time the ruler of the Roman
empire, Augustus Caesar, required all
persons to pay taxes for the upkeep
of the kingdom. Joseph was a de-
scendant of King David. Although
he was living in Galilee, the law re-
quired him to go to Bethlehem in Ju-
dea to pay his taxes.
When it was time to pay the trib-
ute, Joseph took Mary with him on
the journey to Bethlehem. 1t was a
tiresome journey. They were very
weary when they reached the little
town. Joseph went to the hotel to
get a room where they could rest. But
poor Joseph was disappointed, for so
many other people had come to the
little town that day the rooms were
all taken. No doubt Joseph and Mary
felt lonely and discouraged as night
came on. AT last they went to a stable
to find a place to sleep. Here in a
manger the Savior of the World was
born.
This was a very lowly place indeed
for the Prince of Peace to be born
Prophets had been foretelling his COM
ing for many years. People were ex-
pecting him TO come, but in some very
grand way. Some thought he. would
make the kings leave their thrones
and himself be the ruler. But he
came as a sweet, dear little babe.
Now, you wonder how the people
heard of his birth, in those long, long
ago days when there were no tele-
graphs or telephones? Perhaps you
think so important news as this would
be announced publicly by the highest
officials or the richest people in town
and a holiday declared.
But not SO. The first news of his
birth was told to people engaged in
a very humble and lowly work.
Methinks it must have been a beau
tiful warm night. Far out on the hills
of old Judea the shepherds were herd.
ihS tuCh Siccp. NJ QOuDt Dley were
talking together about the big crowd
in Bethlehem that evening. Suddenly
there appeared in the sky a bright
light. The shepherds were afraid. An
angel spoke to them and said, "Be
not afraid 1 bring you good tidings Of
great joy which shall be to all people"
Then he told them that Jesus had
been born in Bethlehem; that they
would find him, a babe, wrapped in
swaddling clothes lying in a manager
with his mother, Mary.
Suddenly there appeared with the
angel a host of other angels singing,
"Glory to God in the highest and on
earth peace, good will to men,"
After the angels were gone the shep-
herds talked over the wondrous news.
Then they hurried away to Bethlehem
to see if it was true. Sure enough,
there were Mary and Joseph and the
little babe, Jesus. They then went out
to tell others.
God also told the news of his gift
to the world by placing a new sta
in the sky. The wise men saw it and
followed its shining a y until they,
too, found the Babe of Bethlehem"
These wise men worshiped him and
gave him gifts of gold, myrrh and
frankincense.

am leaving your country with heart
full of gratitude for your royal recep-

as much regret as though it were my

said: Georges Carpenter told me

would never regret it. He was right.
If meet Georges in the ring again,
