Christmas Forest at Market Offers
Variety of Greens for District Homes

A real Kris Kringle forest has grown
up overnight at the farmers market.
Nearly 1000 pines and cedars from
nearby Maryland and Virginia, with
few Vermont spruces and frs, were
piled up under the sheds this morning,
and more were being brought in all
the time.
The whole area is full of the pleas
ing aroma of Northern forests The
Christmas atmosphere is completed by
piles of red-berried holly and red and
purple straw flowers.

rush is expected Thursday and Friday.

The great bulk Of the trees are Vir-
ginia pines. but there are stacks of
tall, compact cedars. One innovation
has been introduced this year by a
Maryland nurseryman - home grown
Norway spruces. These trees are
grown in considerable numbers by
local nurserymen for lawn decorations.
The practice has continued for a good
many years, so that some of the trees.
which have not been sold, have grown
so large that it would be dangerous
to transplant them. This nurseryman
hit on the idea of cutting off the tops
and selling them for Christmas trees.
The retail prices are running from
dollar, or cheaper, for scrub pines
to SO and $12 for the best cedars and
spruceS.

THAT HOSPITAL FOR INSANE

An Associated Press dispatch informs us that Gov Geo. Parks recommended the erection of hospital for Alaskas insane at expenditure of half million dol lars somewhere else in the Pacific Coast States.
 Climatic conditions emphasized as the reason for placing the hospital in the States We glad of that for suspected the "Seattle spirit"
 There is question that persons afflicted with d- benefited by change of climate and Aaskas unfortunates would be helped by being taken another climate but it should be climate radically different then ours such Southern California; Arizona, and not the very similar atmosphere of the North Pacific States
 This rule, like any other of that kind, should and does work both ways why not erect hospital in AL aska for the care of the insane of the tod States in exchange for their caring for unfortates who might be benefited by change of climate?
 At that we question the advisabity for the expen- allure of large at this time when Congress is unwilling grant smaller for improvements abso lutey necessary for the development of Alaska, such roads and trails, aids to navigation, etc.
 more liberal policy along these lines and the lifting of some of the restrictions of socaed conservation with strict supervision of the importation and employ ment of drug addcts in the salmon canning trade would reduce the number of Alaska insane to minimum. We know of two this winter where insanity is directly traceabe to financial losses caused by government restrc- ons: in the development of coal and the other tim Der restrictions.

It would be difficult indeed. even i for the blase playgoer who has had the pleasure of witnessing the same production previously, to find more enjoyable evenings entertainment than Kid Boots," with Eddie Can tor and Mary Eaton, which is now
 playing at Parsons theater in Hart
 ford. Beautiful girls, accomplished dancers, male and female, pleasing
 voices, witty lines, and amusing sit nations, all coupled with Cantor's
 woll-known funmaking ability blend into a pleasing ensemble. The re- cent illness or the comedian, which compelled the closing of the produc- tion for a while has not in the least impaired his ability to entertain.
 Kid Boots comes to Hartford from Providence after having re- gently reopened following the per i iod covered by Cantor's illness, with ] the same cast as played for some l time in New York. It is on it's way
