Some of the biggest and oldest of them are 30 feet in diameter and at least 5000 years old. So you see many of these Big Trees in Sequoia and Yosem. ite national parks were not even middle-aged when Christ was born in Bethlehem.
 This particular Sequola Christmas tree was planted in 1s9O From seeding 1t has grown to height of more than 60 feet. thousand years from 1t will probably be nearly 300 feet tall and have diameter of 15 or 20 feet.
 One wonders if there will be similar Christmas celebration in Yosemite valley ther-a thousand years from now. Why not? Christmas will still be celebrated then-if the world endures. And our nineteen national parks have been set apart by congress as public playgrounds for the people forever So, If the United States of America en- dures why not Christmas celebration in Yosem- ite A. D. 1922? All that seems to be necessary is the planting of SeQuoia seeding every thirty years or so
 Christmas and mince pie! Nobody ought to have to tell anybody that Christmas Is the time for mince pie. Why, the two go together(just like Thanksgivng and pumpkin pie and the Fourth of July and spring lamb and green peas. The first mince pie of the winter should grace the Christmas hoard: any housewife who gives her family even
 taste of one before Christmas day should go with. ont a new Easter hat-thats the punishment to At the crime And any man who eats mince pie at a restaurant or at his club before Christmas day should go without mnce pie all winter
 However, If he should, his punishment would likely fit the crime. For nowadays the making of mince pies is largely lost art. The ordinary restaurant mince pie is nothing but minced fruit.
 There is a saying that every really good woman cook must have temper Maybe. Certainly she should be nice and plump-as If she ate her own mince pies and thrived on them. And it's easy to tell by watching a woman make mince pies whether or not they're going to be success. If she goes at It, you know, as If 1t were sort of a religious rite-as if the fate of the nation hung on her work-why, all Is well.
 "Pies like mother used to make" Tenderloln of beef and Northern Spy apples and real cider and everything else to correspond Maybe mother used 10 bake her pies a dozen at time and set them away in a cold store room to freeze. Maybe mother got her mince meat ready and set it aside in big stone jar to ripen. It doesn't make any difference. They were real mnce pies when they got to the Christmas dinner. The looks of them !! The smell of them The taste of them! Yum, yum! There's a memory fellow can carry with him to his grave.
 Do you remember Izaak Waltons friend Dr. Bot. teller and his famous appreciation of the strawber- ry? Well, it's quite evident the good doctor never sat down to just the right kind of Christmas dinner he would have ignored the strawberry as unworthy of his ceverness and would have said in stead that doubtless God could have inspired some heaven-born cook to make more appropriate des- for December 25 than mince pie but that doubt. less God never did

 You have served God only as yo1 nave served men,"
 The Christian citizen should be serving God in relation to his home, his community and his nation. There are those who are serving God by trying to improve the conditions under which their less privileged fellows live and work, by trying to bring more of justice, beauty peace and love into the life of the world It is to be feared that most Of us fall far short here. But he is poor Chris tan and poor citizen indeed who, having, can pass Christmas without doing something in keep Ing with the day for those who have not
 Everywhere In our modern Twentieth century life we meet the very people whom Jesus painted in living words 2000 years ago-the prodigal son who "came to himself; the elder brother who "was angry and would not go in"; the priest and the Levite, who 'rassed by on the other side" tho good Samaritan, who was moved with commas. sion; the Pharisee, who thanked God that he was mot as other men are"; the publican. who cried God be merciful unto me. sinnerT'
 At Christmas time, if at no other 1t Is well for us to be the publican and the good Samaritan.
 Without Christmas tree holly and m,st,e+o. Christmas would seem strange indeed to mos, Americans. The basam fir is most used fo, Christmas trees, but doubtless almost any Kind of evergreen can be used in an emergency And some of the municipal and community cente, Christmas trees nowadays are of great size, esn.. cially when they set up outdoors.
 The photograph of the Christmas tree renro duced herewith Is worth studying as somethino quite out of the ordinary in several respects Tn the first place, in the original photograph three separate exposures of the plate were made-tbe
 first for the building and its lights the second for the Christmas tree and its lights and the third suit the different degrees of brilliance.
 And where do you suppose this unusual photo graph was taken? Why. at the annual Christmas celebration in Yosemite valley, Yosemite National park. California. Most people think that all the national parks are closed in the winter time. Well they not. Rocky Mountain National park in Colorado has carnival of winter sports in Febrll- ary. Mount Rainier National park in Washington has winter sports and ski tournament as late as July. And Yosemite is open the year round. And Yosemite's Christmas celebration includes fat, jolly fur-clad Santa Claus who drives up in the old dfashoned way in his sleigh and distributes his gifts to the village children.
 But that isn't all about this unusual picture What kind of a tree do you suppose the Christmas tree Is? You could not guess If your Christmas gift depended upon your guess That's because 1t is the only one of Its kind in the whole world.
 This Christmas tree is nothing less than living Sequoia tree The SeQuoia (Sequoia gigantea) is the oldest and biggest living thing in the world.

Four county jails in this district have been comfortably filled with fed eral paying guests" since Judge Morris started his campaign several weeks ago.
 "But there is plenty of room yet" he said. Ramsey, Hennepin, Wi mona and Wabash counties jails are pretty full, but there Is still plenty of room"
 Judge Morris has adopted several means for speeding up liquor cases. For one thing, an accused who pleads guilty for the first offense generally has the option of fine or at least a comparatively short jail sentence. But to plead not guilty and then be convicted means jail.

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
 SWAMP-ROOT

For many years druggists have watched with much interest the remarkable record maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medi- cine.
 It is physician's prescription.
 Swamp Root is strengthening medi- cine. It helps the kidneys, liver and blad- der do the work nature intended they should do.
 Swamp Root has stood the test of years. It is sold by all druggists on its merit and it should help you. No other kidney medi- cine has so many friends.
 Be sure to get Swamp Root and start treatment at once.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y., for . sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper-Advertisement

The Law Supreme

President Harding has proclaimed
that it is the first obligation of the
government to maintain supremacy
of the law and to prevent interfer-
ence with the movement of the mails
and interstate transportation, which
are indispensable to the welfare of
the people theoretically he states
that he will carry out that duty and
calls on all citizens to assist. All the
power of the government is available
to enforce the law, including the en-
ployment of deputy marshals, where
they are sufficient to uphold court or
ders, and the use of troops wherever
necessary. 1t is the indisputable
right of the railroad companies to en-
ploy new men to do their shop work,
since their former employees have quit
their employment, and it is the duty
of the government to protect the rail-
roads in the enjoyment of that right
B. M. Jewell, representative of the
striking shop men, has said what no
intelligent person will believe, that
there is no work for the troops where
they have been stationed. The
threats of violence at Bloomington,
Ill.,, the eviction of workmen from the
shops at Slater, Mo-, the tarring and
feathering of foreman at Roodhouse,
ILL.,, and the numerous individual cases
Of lawlessness at other places are suf
fcient answer to his statement.
The engineers, fremen, trainmen
and conductors Of the Chicago & Al
ton railway have nothing to do with
the presence of the state troops at
Bloomington, ILL.,, The government
must maintain it's position, regardless
of any extension of the strike or
threat of it. The recent Herrin mas
sacre should be sufficient warning
