Christmas Trees Are
 Cheaper This Year

The first shipments of Christmas @rees have arrived at wholesale price considerably less than last year. The retail price of the trees is regulated more than by supply than by cost, and what the next two or three weeks will bring in the way of prices is a. enigma. The embargo on Christmas $ trees is not expected to have any great effect on the supply within New E-ngland. Gypsy and brOwn-tail moths have been busy in the north east woods with devastating effects and the supply may be quarantined. vermont and Maine will furnish their annual quota this year. Conicallv shaped, well balanced trees with thick
 ranches and heavy needles are the demand.

Almost Got Drunk. Q n-.a C ED


 Editor, Dream Contest, Bridgeport If I may trust the fattering truth of My dreams presage some joyful news
 at hand. Shakespeare.
 After a day of no unusual happen iTgs, a day with normal feed and nor nal thoughts it seems strange that dreamland should produce the follow ing experience: I was travelling in a not familiar territory but greeted by former acquaintanCes of an earlier period in my life. Their welcome was cordial and engaging and I was variously entertained, winding up by witnessing a performance at the play house. On emerging from the thea Ire my companion suggested a custom that now belongs to the ancients, that little pleasantly that passed between the Governors of the Carolinas. In these times it would seem that the shock of such an occurrence would be electrical but that was not the case the waiter was courteous, urbane and passive, (the occurrence was not strange to him). One can easily inn agine the frame of mind. ecstatic and joyful patience to be soon rewarded. The place looked natural. that is mem- cry serving me we'll the bright lights. One-legged round tables, walters with white aprons and general gaiety prevailing.

 I was in very poor heoth and had been for the last three years. I was discouraged and could not see any future happiness.

 One day T. felt worse than usual. Before afternoon it was a case of give everything up and go to bed. To- wards evening I cried myself to sleep. I dreamed Christ came to me clothed He was when He was crucified. sorrOwful and reprOachful expression.
 Although He did not speak to me, He seemed to make me understand that things could be a great deal worse. Then it appeared that He came to take my children from me. As the fear grew stronger l knelt at His feet and put my arms around His knees and promised if my children would be spared, I would try not be discouraged again.
 I woke up sobbing. It made me feel as if Jesus really came to me to help me find happiness and content ment. Gradually I recovered from the sickness I had suffered with for so long a time. I put my trust in Christ.
 The dream proved to be a lesson to ne and to help me overcome dis Couragements and to realize there
