COMMUNITY TREES
Public Celebration Is Gaining in
Small Cities and Towns. ).
Plan Affords More General Enjoyment
and Observance Of tho Yule-
tide Season.

THE Christmas tree has long been
L regarded the symbol of Christ
mas. Many families, especially where
there are children, would feel that
Christmas was incomplete without a
tree decorated with tinsel and candles.
However, writes A. Fl. Pulver in the
American Agriculturist, new idea
in regard to such trees seems to be
creeping in, and that is the commu-
nifty Christmas tree, which is set up
outdoors or in public building where
all people, both rich and poor Gan ad-
mire and enjoy it, and it seems that
this tree more truly reflects the un-
selfish spirit of Christmas.
The movement had its beginning in
New York city, but regardless of its
origin it is spreading rapidly, espe-
cially to the small cities and towns.
where it serves to bring all people
together and to develop community
spirit. In one city the tree has
become fixed annual event, and each
year large Norway spruce sometimes
so feet high is brought to the public
square where it is set up and dec
Grated with colOred electric bulbs,
flags and other ornaments. For few
days preceding Christmas the bulbs
are lighted, causing light to shine from
a hundred or more places, and on the
day before Christmas Santa Claus
with pack Of toys and candy, drives
from home to home distributing Joy
to the children. On Christmas eve
the children and parents gather
around the tree and sing Christmas
carols, winding up with our national
anthem. Other towns vary the pro-
gram somewhat, some Of them having
the tree In public building where .
Christmas party IL held and Santa
Claus gives out toys and candy to
the children.
It is possible for those who own
woodlands or have woodlots contain
ing the right variety Of trees to In
crease their income by thinning ont .
number Of trees each year for tho
Christmas market. The removal Of
such trees Is generally beneficial to
the woodlot. a. It allows those treee
remaining better chance for develop
ment. In replanting forests this fact
might be kept in mind and young
trees thinned out 40 they grow up.
It 10 customary to plant about lao
trees per acre. but when they mature
there Is only room for about 200 q
800, which means that nearly two.
thirds will be removed.

CHRISTMAS COMES
Everybody, Especially Parents,
Know What 1t Is.
Look Ahead and Save for Months 10
Provide Pleasure and Happiness
for Riddles.

VOU know what Christmas Is, says
i Eugene Wood, In the Delineator.
In manner Of speaking, 1t Is a kind
Of Sunday. Six days Of the week
the ideal set before you Is to have
the alarm clock wake you; to gobble
down your breakfast before you are
thoroughly reused; to rush to the shop
and get your overalls on before the
whistle gets done blowing or to be
docked an hours time; to work like
. mailer till noon, when you look into
your dinnerpail to see what the old
lady has put up there tor you. and
warm your coffee on the steampipe;
to begrudge the time for that lunch
con; to lick into your work again till
six o'clock, with the foreman saunter-
Ing up and down, watching that you
don't take too many drinks of water,
or get chip in your eye too often, or
gas too much with the man next you !;
to get home so tired that you fall
asleep reading the newspaper after
supper-the same thing over again to-
morrow and the next day and the next
day and the next day, all your life
long. That's business.
But Christmas comes along. You
tell your little ones that awful whop-
per about Santa Claus and his REIN
deer, and they, to whom you are the
pattern of truthfulness, stand and lis
ten to you with their jaws hanging
loose and their eyes looking like hard
boiled eggs with the shells of. And
the older ones aid and abet you In the
deceit, and help the little ones COM
pose their sprawllng letter to old
Santa, asking for dolls and skates, and
choo-chOo cars and all such extrava-
gances, when you ought to be saving
up your money against a rainy day.
And you skimp yourself Of necessary
food to buy these follies, and sit up
nights wasting your strength for the
next day (which really doesn't belong
to you, since your boss buys 1t and
pays for ~. and when II O'Clock,
Christmas eve, comes, and you get
down from the chair, having hung up
the last gilt ball or glass peacock, you
are 20 tuckered you can hardly stand.
But you turn out the gas and light the
candles to see how pretty II all looks,
and your wife says: wont she b
tickled at thisi And won't no jump
for JOY when hs sees that!" and you
put your arm around her, and the
twinkling candles swim before your
sight, and your threat hind Of chokes
you.

GRAZING FEES TO BE

 Col. w. B. Greeley, Forester in chief at Washington, has re- gently made himself quite clear as to his position in the matter of advance in grazing fees,
 when he appeared before the subcommittee of the House on Appropriations, and stated These fees undoubtedly do not represent the full commercial value of the forage which is obtained, and that is one of the reasons why in my judge ment, special concessions in be- half Of the users of the national forest range lands are not justi- fled: In fact, as the committee doubtless recalls, there has been much discussion in the past as to the adequacy of the grazing fees charged for the use of these national forest ranges.

 From the foregoing quota ton it will be seen that the. users of the forests should join in a concerted action to pre- tect their enterprise and the or ganization, as above mention ed, certainly is a good move in the right direction and it seems just and proper at this time for every user of the national for eSts to become members of this association and all work to- gether to bring about better grazing conditions on the for eStS. |
