The Democratic party Of Prussia has
introduced a bill in the Prussian diet
that allows any community to tax for
eign visitors 81 a day, if they see prop
er. The bill grows out of complaint
that the scarcity of food and high
prices Is largely because of the pres

money!. Mike Chiarentore, twenty

JUNGLE FREAKS COME
Noah's Ark Up-to Date Arrives in
New York.

The Dromore Castle, from Cape
Town, Noah's Ark up date, came TO
port yesterday, says the New York
World of last Thursday The ship
tied up at Pier 3S, Atlan:ic Basin,
with the strangest cargo ever brought
10 this Country at one time. From the
Jungle lands, where birds and beasts
fit about as freely as a fiappcr on
Broadway, came almost every repre-
sentative that amounts to anything.
There were about 800 wild animals,
more than 5000 birds, including bull
finch which whistlcd as the boat was
being made fast How Dry | am"
when You Were Sweet Sixteen" and
other ballads.
There also were registered among
the Who's Who of JUngleland; BUSH
baby, smallest of animals, tiny
kangaroo like creature, with teeth 50
sharp it could cut grass half an inch
thick.
The weirdest looking animal was
the thorn tailed lizard, a survivor OF
prehistoric ages, about 7,652,912 years
ago, when it was the custom for liz
ards tor go about armored from nose
TO tail.
Other notables were toucans, finch
cs thrushcs. Jhumming birds ana
whosis by the thousands. Back aft,
near where the bo'sum spent his
watch below, was the mirabou stork,
sour old chap, with bill about two
and onc-half feet long.
On the afterdeck were the Chackme
balloons. Bill and Bertha. Bill chased
a sailor all over the ship ono day, and
was put in irons later FOR committing
more trouble
Porcupincs, secretary birds, that
dino on snakes and squak inharmJni-
ously, were beside sleeping pigs. On
the port side was Il lane Of Zebras,
and to starboard flock Of antclopcs
A Numidian lion with his mate, and
Thomas, their eighteen ycar-old son
born in the Belgian Congo, were also
in the shipment.
1t was the first big shipment OF
animals on the hoof since the war.
They were in charge of Carl Hagen
beck of the international agency of
Hagcnbcck, who supply animals to
ch'cuscs and ZOOS. Most Of ycstcr-
days shipment is going TO Concy Is

MUST DELIVER THE GOODS
Every Worker Has the Power of Fix
ino His Pay.


Recently a lad went to his employer
and asked for an increase Of 50 a
week.
Il can't give it To you," was the
prompt and curt reply.
The boy looked downcast, when the
employer proceeded:
Il will double your pay If you will
let me, but / can't think of giving you
81 raise.
This situation was even more awk-
ward for the boy He couldn't figure
out the meaning Of the statement: Il
will double your pay if you will let
me-" "Of course, l will let you" he
thought.
Then the employer explained: Il
have wanted to increase your pay for
some time, but you wouldn't allow me
TO do so. | am always watching for a
chance to increase the pay Of any man
in my employ, but l can't do it with
out a reason. Now what reason can
you give for asking a 81 increase? Is
it because you ti;ink you need it?
That's no reason. l can find millions
of people who need it. You are not
here as an object of charity. You fix
your own worth to the business.

GOVERNOR w. G. HARVEY.
First Chief Executive From Charles
ton In Sixty Years.

Called to the executive office by res
ignation of Governor Cooper, Wilson G..
Harvey of Charleston. became govern
or OF South Carolina today. Elected to
the office of lieutenant governor, with
just such AN eXigency as has occurred
q possibility in the minds of the pco-
pie of the state, he received major
ity in 40 of the 46 counties and he
comes to the governorship therefore
with a popular warrant and with an
evidence of confidence and pledge of
support that give him full stature as
the chief officer in the commonwealth.
Governor Harvey is no stranger TO the
people of South Carolina He is known
all over the state and he has friends
among all classes and in all sections.
AS lieutenant governor he has prcSid-
Cd over the senate during two sessions
with tact, ability and discretion He
has had large experience in public al
fairs and he has taken an interest in
and been at pains to acquaint himself
with the business and general policies
of the whole state. He is well equip
ped for the duties Of the high office to
which he has been called and no man
has a deeper sense of devotion to pub
lie duty nor higher loyalty to his
state.
1t is nearly sixty years since Char
lestonian occupied the office of gov
ernOr Of South Carolina, and the cleva-
ton of Mr Harvey is Il source of sat
iScaction to the people of his city and
county. among whom his whole life has
been spent. In his candidacy for and
election to the office of lieutenant gov
ernor he did n great service in dis
proving the legend that CharleSto-
nian could not be elected TO office In
the state, and he did it by presenting
himself to the people of South Caro-
lima as a South Carolinian. In the
higher station to which he has been
called he will demonstrate still further
the statewide spirit of Charleston and
thereby further promote the good Will
and respect in which the people of this
city deserve 10 be held among their
fellow citizens.
The best wishes Of the people of
South Carolina will be with the new
governor and he may he sure of the
whole hearted cooperation with him in
all good work for the best interest OF
the state. And his own city and county
extend to him COngratulatiOn and re-
iOiCe that he has added one more
name to the long line of governors
from Charleston who stand out among
the honorable citizens of South Caro-
lima. Charleston Evening Post.

You are the only person in the world
who can fix it, When a man has TO
go to an employer and ask for more
pay. either the employer has been
as,eep or the man has been asleep.
The employer didn't know what the
man was doing or the man himself
didn't know what he was doing.
"You havf not increased your skill
of productivencss in six months, there
fore yor are blocking the game. You
are in the way of some good man who
would do more with your job than you
arc doing If You won't let me double
your pay, | want to put somebody else
on the job You must make good or
make room. Anarchists and bolshc-
visits are made of men who get a job
and dry up on it. I'll give you three
months to prove to me that I'll be safe
in doubling your pay. If you can't
double it in that time I'm going to dis
charge you"
The boy got busy and he got the
increase. Better still, he has learned
that he fixes his own pay.-EXchange.

appearing on earth at Christmas time with mes
sage to all mankind? Certainly he has a mes
sage well worth delivering. And certainly it is
a message we'll worth listening to. For from his
experience he could say to
You have served God only as you have served
men,"
The Christian citizen should be serving God
in relation to his home, his community and his
nation. There are those who 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 1t is to be feared that most
Of us fall far short here. But he is a poor Chris
tian 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
lie we meet the very people whom Jesus painted
in living words 1000 years ago-the prodigal son
who "came to himself; the elder brother who
twas angry and would not go i'm; the Lriest and
the Levite, who rassed by On the other side; the
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, sinner!
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 mistetoe
Christmas would seem strange indeed TO most
Christmas trees, but doubtless almost any kind
Of evergreen can be used in an emergency And
some of the municipal and community center
Christmas trees nowadays are of great size esne-
cialy when they are set up outdoors
The photograph of the Christmas tree renro-
duced herewith is worth studying as something
quite out of the ordinary in several respects In
the first place, in the original photograph three
separate exposures of the plate were made-the
first for the building and its lights the second for
the Christmas tree and its lights, and the third
for the moon Each exposure varied in length to
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 Rational
park California. Most peopl" think that all the
national parks closed in the winter time. Well,
they are not. Rocky Mountain National park in
Colorado has a carnival of winter sports in Febru-
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
Yosemte's Christmas celebration includes fat
jolly fur-clad Santa Claus who drives up in the
old-fashioned way in his sleigh and distributes his
gifts to the village children.
But that isn't all about this unusual picture
What kind of 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 Of Its kind In the whole world.
This Christmas tree is nothing less than living
Sequoia tree. The SequoIa (Sequola gigantea) Is
the oldest and biggest living thing in the world
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1922-12-14

Some of the biggest and oldest of them are 80 feet
in diameter and at least 5000 years old. so you
see many of these Big Trees in SequOa and Yosem-
lite national parks were not even mddle-aged when
Christ was born in Bethlehem.
This particular Sequoia Christmas tree was
planted in 1890. From Seeding it has grown
to a height of more than GO feet. A thousand
years from now it will probably be nearly 800 feet
tall and have diameter of Is or 20 feet.
One wonders if there will be similar Christmas
celebration in Yosemite valley then-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 public Fairgrounds for the people
forever SO, if the United States of America
dures why not a Christmas celebration in Yosem-
tie 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
Thanksgiving 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
board; any housewife who gives her family even
n taste of one before Christmas day should go with
out new Easter hat-thats the punishment to
fit the crime. And any man who eats mince pie
at 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 mlnce pie is nothing but minced fruit
There is a saying that every really good woman
cook must have a temper. Maybe. Certainly she
shOuld be nice and plump-as if she ate her own
mince pies and thrlved them. And it's easy
TO tell by watching a woman make mince pies
whether or not they're going to be a success If
she goes at it, you know, as If it 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 !" Tenderoin of
beef and Northern Spy apples and real cider and
everything else to correspond Maybe mother used
TO bake her pies dozen at a time and set them
away in q cold store room to freeze. Maybe
mother got her mnce meat ready and set it aside
in big stone Jar to ripen. 1t doesn't make any
difference. They were real mince pies when they
got to the Christmas dinner. The looks of them
The smell of them! The taste Of them YUM
yum There's memory a fellow can carry with
him to his grave.
Do you remember Izaak Walton's 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 or 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-
ser for December % than mnce pie but that doubt
less God never did.
