HER CHRISTMAS TRIP

The family were going away for
Christmas to their old home in the
beautiful country which they loved so
much. They hadn't gone back at
Christmas time for ever and ever so
long.
They said, at first, they would give
their faithful, wonderful cook check
and a holiday, and then they asked
her If she would like the Christmas
trip as her Christmas present.
Would she indeed? Just because
she was no longer a child it didn't
mean that she couldn't enjoy as q
child!
She went and she loved it all-even
the over-crowded trains, the hurrying
masses Of people in the jammed sta
tions-for wasn't 1t her Christmas
trip?
She, too, was a part Of the great

The English Christmas is not unlike
ours, save that we do not have their
pretty custom Of bringing in the
yule." In almost every family in Eng
land the boys and girls gather about
the burning log on Christmas Eve to
sing carols and tell Christmas legends
Often the children who live in the
country assist at the dragging in Of
the huge log. An English child would
not feel that it was Christmas If there
were not bit Of mistletoe hanging in

WOLF CONTROL |S NOW POSSIBLE SAYS
 EXPERT

J. J. Ligon, who was appointed by the biological survey to spend several months in Alaska in Investigating the damage done to game by the enormous bands of wolves, has completed his in vestigations and returned to the states. MT. Ligon is an expert on wolf trapping and during his short time in Alaska caught IS animals with traps and specially prepared pOisons. He estimates that there are at least ten thousand wolves in southeastern Alas ka, and says that they prey principal ly upon dee- at least fifty deer being killed annually by each wolf.
 MT. Ligon visited several islands, and gave instructions to trappers as to the best sets for wolves. He did not instruct the men as to the use of poi son, as it is unlawful in the territory to use poison in trapping. He is the inventor of special wolf poison, which he uses in the states with very great success, it killing the animal before i. has time to get more than a few feet away from the place at wAic3 it is swallowed. MT. Ligon states that there should be no difficulty iii con- trolling the wolves il specially trained men are set to trapping them. He be, ieves tua. the bounty should be with wolf trappers, who work on a month ly wage. He also states that the coy kan game, and that they are euua 'lV ! Ges,! u"tve on game.
