TRACK MEN TO
VALLEY ] MEET
Only Competitors for First
Place Will Be Kansas
and Nebraska.

The Tiger track team got away this
morning for Kansas City where they will
compete in the Valley meet tomorrow in
Convention Hall. Oklahoma is the only
institution that will not be represented
there. Drake, Washington and Crinnell
will be represented by small teams. With
out a doubt the fight for FIRST place will
narrow down to Kansas. Nebraska and
Missouri with the Aggies and Ames trail
ing.
Ii is generally admitted that the tt
gers should have better chance to place
high relatively than they showed in the
dual meet last week. Those who concede
Kansas FIRST place, at the same time be-
iieve that her point. viii be cut into Sc
yefely by Ame., the Agsies and Ne
braska.
The Tigers on the other hand have
several men who will win in any sort Of
Valley competition.
Coach Simpson was considerably wor-
ried about the number Of men that will
be entered in che shost distance events
and frankly admitted that chance would
play q prominent role. Preliminary
events to be held Saturday morning will
place six men for the finals. With six
men competing on the narrow rack in
Hall, there is little or no
chance for all to get fair deal. Those
who draw second row positions can al
most count their hopes for FIRST nil.

chrtstmas and Twelfth Day

The festival Of the Nativity was
never held on any other day than the
25th day Of December, The ancient
observance Of the feast, however, con-
tinued for IL days, or in ecclesiastical
language, IAN octave and q half" other
festival days having an. "octave" or
eight days Of observance only. Hence,
the last day Of the feast was termed
Twelfth day, Little Christmas (among
the French) and Old Christmas day in
some parts Of England. It was in
813 A. D. that the Epiphany was first
celebrated as distinct festival, at the
end Of the Christmas celebration prop
er. The day has its own observances,
twelfth day cake, king OF the feast,
the mystical bean in the cake, etc, etc,
but Is now usually celebrated as ''le
jour de roi," by the French people,
or as the festival Of the Epiphany, the
Greek word for manifestation Of Jesus
Christ to the Gentiles.

Uncle
Santa Claus.
BY Christopher G. Hazard


tsSNELL us story, Uncle Peter"
said the children, as they
climbed over their kindly relative one
Christmas eve. "a story!" repeated
Uncle Peter, affecting surprise, but
willing to draw upon his inexhaustible
stock; "Well, have you ever heard of
Uncle Santa CLAUSE" "Oh, you mean
Uncle Santa Clausr' exclaimed Jack.
mo, | don't" said Uncle Peter; II
mean the old man with the plug hat,
the blue sWallowtail coat, the striped
breeches 1.-THE cid man with eyes like
stars and a smile that never comes off
excepting when somebody is treading
on somebody else; the old man with
the' striped flag, whose headquarters
is up in Alaska; the biggest Santa
Claus there is.'' "AlI right, then"
answered the children, tell US about
him.
We'll" said Uncle, Peter, che has
his hands full just now and is doing
all he can to fill the hands Of others.
The air is so noisy with wireless cries
and clamors, there are so many hands
reaching out over the seas, that he Is
almost distracted. Ever since he got
back from the great war he has
been repairing its damage and renew
ing the prosperity that it spoiled. And
long before that he was In the Christ
mas business. He surprised China by
refusing to accept the great sum OF
the Boxer indemnity. He let the Gu
bans have Cuba when he had made
them free, and many thought that he
had right to take that fair island
for himself He is working hard at
his task Of making America truly
American, a sober, Industrious, en-
lightened, prosperous, happy, Christ
masy nation"
'T'm glad Tn one Of his American
children" said Agnes, when Uncle
Peter had concluded; with which SEN
t1ment all the rest agreed.
A little cloud Of doubt had arisen
on the Christmas sky, however, as
St. Tammany farmer., 1922-12-16

This was very pleasant assurance
for the children. It made them think
Of happy mistake that one Of them
had made when they were having war
gardens all over the town: a certain
Mr.. Rose had been appointed by the
mayor as Inspector Of gardens for the
whole place, and one day Betty point
ed him out to friend with whom she
was walking. ''There goes Mr.. Rose,'
she said; "he's an expecter Of gar
densi"
When the children had been re-
minded Of Mr.. Rose they also remem-
bered what Betty had done at their
last Christmas party; stalking heavily
and pompously down the room, she
had said: "I'm Mr.. Atlas, who holds
up the world" So one Of them stood
on tiptoe, threw back her head and
threw out her arms and said: "I'm
Uncle Santa Claus, who holds up the
world t'Well donel" cried Uncle
Peter; "that's Just itln

Goodness her mother said, "You

cIous!' said Mary. But Mary was too
excited to have care for her ex-
pressions, In describing the situation
Afterwards 6ns said. II was tn q per-
feet stupor of excitement"
Uncle Peter had a present, too.
After all the rest had been made
happy Agnes brought out d parcel,
and when Uncle Peter opened 1t there
were too big books that told over
again the story Of all that America
had stood for and accomplished. This
made him very, glad indeed, and he
asked them to write his name on the
fly leaf and to say that it was from
his Young Americans Then the
Christmas party ended with a verse
Of our national anthem, heartily sung
and followed by all the other verses.

SPIRIT OR. SOUL OF THE OAK
Mysterious Mistletoe, Growing From
Sturdy Tree, Looked Upon by
Druids as Holy Thing.
- He mfstletoe season draws

@{ ggaa HE mfstletoe season draws
III 4. near. Many boughs OF
g. pendants Of this mysterious
- U and beautiful plant win be
torn from oaks and other
trees and suspended from chandeliers
and doors.
Many myths are associated with
the mlstIetoe, The Druids of Britain
looked upon 1t as a holy thing. To
them the oak tree had q strong reug-
ious significance and seeing the curl
Gus plant growing out of the oak they
conceived that it was the spirit or
the soul of that tree. IN this way
1t is believed that the Druids came to
regard the mistletoe as the symbol Of
life and they therefore treated 1t with
manifest reverence and give 1t a
prominent place In their religious
rites. It is also believed that the Dru-
Ids held the mtstletoe as sacred to
Fraya, the goddess Of love, and that
this is how It came to be associated
with love-ma11ing and kissing.
The old herbalists, the forerumners
Of the physician, regarded the mistle-
toe rs a thing having remarkable Their
apeutic properties. It was held to be
good for epilepsy and for various con-
vulsive 'listempers.' Many Of our
British and our Irish ancestors be-
lieved that the mtstletoe was o charm
against disease.
The mistfetoe IS a plant parasite,
and yet not altogether parasite.
Though it would rather live off Of the
tree, it was the means Of seIf-support.
It fastens itself upon It's host, pene-
trates Its tissue and draws nourish-
ment from 1t, often defor1ning 1t and
sapping its vitality. Yet the mistletoe
Is green, leafy plant; that is, it pos
sesses the green pigment, chlorophyll,
which gives the green color to normal
vegetation. The presence Of green
leaves indicates that the mistletoe has
the power, which independent green
plants everywhere possess, of con-
structing organic foodstuffs, such as
starch, out Of inorganic compounds,
carbon dioxide and water, utilizing
sunlight as the source Of energy In
the process. 1t IS, therefore, only
partly a parasite SO far as dependence
upon its host for food Is concerned,
but it Is none the less harmful on that
account
St. Tammany farmer., 1922-12-16

Uncle Peter had spoken OF Uncle
Sainta's lavishness IN far, countries.
Edith voiced 1t when she wanted to
know If 1t would be Of any use for
them to expect anything that Christ
mas, whether or not they were to hang
uTs their stockings .Youll put your
foot in it if you do" said George. mo,
she won't" said Uncle Peter; Il have
had a special delivery letter from
Uncle Santa, saying that he has had
his eye on this house for the last
tWelvemonth, and that this will be one
Of his stopping places because from 1t
so much of service for others has been
going out. He says that you are his
gardeners. and that you have planted
SO many seeds of kindness that lot
Of beautiful things will be sure to
come up. That Is always the way, he
says in fact, it is the way In which
he got rich himself"
