If the public could have witnessed
the removal of a huge oak tree by
blasting and saw the very rapid
clearing away of the debris, nc
doubt of the efficiency of the State
Highway Departments employees
would exist. 1t was necessary to re-
move several large oaks from the
edge of a grove in front of st.
Georges Church for public utility
service. am sure that voice the
sentiment of this part of Sussex
county almost unanimously, in
thanking the State Highway Depart
ment for sparing the beautiful old
oak tree in front of the home of
Mrs. Brasure, which for many years
has been a notable landmark for
certainly over one hundred years;
possibly two centuries.
The death of Captain Charles
Richards of Millville, who was many
years ago a merchant of this place,
brought memories to the older folks
of Clarksville of his life here, which
were pleasant. He was the first post
master of this town and at that time
selected the name of Clarksville for
the post office; after and in honor of
Gideon w. Clark, who had resided
here for more than fifty years.
The stork visited the home of
Mrs. Vernon Cobb and left a baby
boy as a Christmas present.
The Christmas season is at hand
and the thrifty people of this part
of Sussex county have manufactur-
ed many dollars worth of holly
wreaths and evergreen trimmings
for the city people to decorate with.
Our woods and fields are beautiied
by nature so that we do not have to
destroy the trees to see and enjoy
them.
Captain Handy Holt is recovering

CHRISTMAS GIFTS
THAT ARE WELCOME

a S THE holidays are a time when
"A most of US would like to make
one dollar do the work of FIVE.
any suggestion should be welcome
which shows how thOughtfulness can
make a cheap gift acceptable. There
fore give a few such instances from
my own experience:
know a housewife who is famous
for her lemon jumbles, and another
whose mince pies are tOOthsOme de-
light. These two women remember
their friends each Christmas, with
their specialties, and, l assure you, no
present is received more gratefully
than is theirs. Still another, who
makes orange marmalade by a won
derful secret recipe, gives a glass Of
this cOnfectiOn to her favored circle.
But-a word of warning: Be absO-
lutely sure that such an offering is
really and truly desired. For example,
l remember one woman, on a strict
diet, to whom all sweets are forbidden.
whose careless acquaintances are con-
stantly sending boxes of candy, and
one whom Strawberries sicken and
who, last year, received a glass Of
wild strawberry jam, delicious to all
those who could eat it, but, 1t hap
pened, she could not. However, such
mistakes are the result of careless
ness, and need not occur.
A shut-in once expatiated to me
al hnr hVy 4,
Christmas present of a utility bas-
ket." It held all the odds and ends
she was forever wanting, and could
not readily procure for herself-pins,
needles, tape, balls and sockets,
threads and silks and cottOns. Every
time I peep into it," she cried, as
happy as a child, 'T find something
new that need" It was not an ex-
pensive offering, and yet it was one
of the most acceptable ever heard of.
Akin to it was a little silk sewing-bag,
also rapturOusly received because the
maker had informed herself of what
the recipients wardrobe would be that
winter, and placed inside, with thimble
and needle-case, spOOls of cOlOred silks
matching each garment to be worn
that winter. Here again the thought
fulness-not the gift itself-is what
counts.
A case of threaded needles is most
acceptable to all women beyond
middle age whose eyes are beginning
to fail, and invaluable to a traveller.
Other discriminating presents are
packets of choice seeds, saved during
the summer, and sent to an amateur
gardener at Christmas time. A manu-
script book (typewritten, If possible)
of tested recipes, compiled by the
sender, is another always welcome
offering.
And what pleasure, sentimental, ret
respective and anticipatOry, was
theirs, sOjOurners In a far western
home, who, just before the holidays,
opened a box from mother and sisters
''back home" in the East, containing
a plum pudding and fruit cake, made
by the well-remembered recipe and,
on Christmas day, to be enjoyed with
most afEectiOnate thoughts of those
who, thousands of miles away, had
helped to cook the gala-time dinner

Mt. M'KINLEY SINKING
DUE TO EARTHQUAKES

Tradition has it that Mount Nc
Kinley in interior Alaska, the Hottest
peak on the American continent, is
sinking about two feet a year.
Residents Of the region are CON
WINGED that this happens. They point
out that there is an average Of four
earthquake shocks 4 year and con-
tend that the mountain settles about
six inches with each tremor.
BY way Of attempted confirmation
they refer to The Aleutian islands.
According to recent reports from
scientists no one can state the loca-
ton or altitude of these islands as
one day they will appear well above
the water and the next day may
have disappeared.
Numerous small islands including
BOgoslov, are reported to have dis
appeared without a trace. Bogoslov
is recalled as the island which sud
! denly appeared while the crew of
the coast guard cutter Bear looked
on, in 1906.
/ For the Typographical freaks the
blame il placed on Mount Katmai
and PavIof volcanoes which intermit-
tently send out dense clouds Of flame
and smoke.

any bay, inlet or estuary two miles

REAL TAX REVISION
MAY YET Be MADE
BEFORE ADJ0URNING

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The out
look for tax revision is not as dis
couraeing as it may seem on the
surface
Announcement of the details of the
democratic plan sponsored by Sena-
tor Simmons of North Carolina, bears
out predictions made several weeks
ago that the senate would reveal a
more conservative attitude as a whole
on tax matters than old the house,
and that the leaders who felt it ne
cessary to get some bill rather than
none through the lower branch of
congress acted wisely.
For again this year, as in previ
Gus years, the real tax bill is be
ing written in the senate with the
prospect that tOday's bill with a Is
per cent reduction On earned in
comes will pass.
The insurgent republicans in the
House started out with an extreme
program which meant no change in
the present surtaX rates. The Garner
plan was cut to to A per cent sur
taxes as against the 25 per cent re
commended by Secretary Mellon.
The compromise offered BY Repre-
sentative Longworth and accepted by
the Republican insurgents was at
3712 per cent.
Now the democrats in the Senate
instead of sticking to A per cent
rate have taken practically the Long
worth plan with notifications and
thus the fight will be in the Senate
between the 3715 per cent rate urged
by the democrats and insurgent re-
publicans, and the Is per cent rates
accepted by the Senate committee
today.
