COLUMBUS LETTER
(By Chas. w. Rife

A new record in the number Of
Ohio owned automobiles Is going to
be made within another so days if
the present demand for the 1926
license tags continues, according to
Thad H. Brown, Secretary Of State.
The number Of tags already dis
ttributed Is far above that Of this
same date year ago. Distributing
agencies are sending in for more of
the tags which are being promptly
shipped, while dealers everywhere
report increased sales OF both new
and used cars, thousands Of the pur-
chasers being this year for the first
| time car owners. As all money re-
ceiyed from the sale of the tags goes
| directly into the county treasury
| for the purpose Of maintaining high
ways, there is every reason to be-
lieVe that this. along with that of
the gasoline tax money will enable
every village and city of the state to
put their streets and roadways in the
best possible condition. Thousands
of men will be put at this work of
repairing highways just as soon as
weather conditions will permit.
More Rabbits
The first consignment of rabbits
from Kansas to Ohio to build up the
Ohio wild bunny into larger ami
NAL and increase the meat supply
for the state has arrived The west
ern cotton tails will be expressed di-
rect to the ten districts into which
the state has been divided and com
mittees composed of farmers and
sportsmen will supervise their dis
tribution to areas where the supply
of the native animal has somewhat
diminished. The rabbits coming to
Ohio have been carefully examined
before shipment We will not dis
tribute the rabbits in the orchard
districts, Dent O. Thompson, chief
game warden said unless we receive
requests for them. The committees
in each county to supervise the dis
tribution consist of one member of
the fish and game organization of
the county and member of a
grange or other farmers organiza-
tion.
Governor Faces Issues SguareIy
The suggested motto of Governor
Vic Donahey that he hung in the Of
fee of the state prohibition COM
mission, is not going TO be limited
TO that one office it seems The
governor not only suggested. but
ordered that Respect for the law is
in exact proportion to its honest en-
forcement," be printed and posted
in the office of the state prohibition
commissioner. Not only that, but
every employe of the office is to act
accordingly, and the fellow that
don't may expect the same fate that
befell one S. A. Propst, who has
been forced to sever his connections
with the department. When Gov
ernor Donahey in his statement said
that 1.-The home is the smallest unit
of government, and its inherent
right must be guaranteed" he said
something that is meeting, not only
the approval of the masses, but the
classes, and even the dryest of the
dry. has been unable to find any
thing but praise for the entire doc
ument. 1t may not be amiss to say
that the entire decision was written
and prepared by the governor him
self, and there was very little if any
advice sought Editorial praise of
the document has not been limited
to the confines of Ohio, but to 9TH
er states, and the action of Ohio's
executive has again demonstrated

terms with her. Lucy, widow feeble
but graceful in her age of seventy-five
years, lived in the little cottage on
the Wainwright estate, cut off with a
very slight income by the will of her
father, John Wainwright.
Judge Wainwright went up to his
study and looked out of the dormer
clear and a large star shone brightly
above the distant hill of pine trees
and all the other stars seemed to
twinkle happily about it. The lowell
ness of the landscape charmed him,
and, relaxing from any other thoughts,
he turned the light very low and lay
upon a couch near the window.
When a loud knock upon the door
startled him he realized he had fallen
asleep and the excited voice of Sarah,
the colored maid, called to him that
'3Bfissus Marion done took very sick"
1t was the midnight hour when
Judge Wainwright again stood by his
lstudy window and glanced out again
into the night. The big star was high
Ind luminous and long beams seemed
! to stream from it as it hung aloft, over
the little town Of Bethel A new joy
had come into the judges heart, for
a newborn babe had come into the
home And as he turned from the win
dow he glanced at pictured motto on
the wall, placed there by his own
mother. 1t read: BLESSED Are the
Peacen1akers, for They Shall Be Called
the Children Of God" Speedily the
bitterness toward poor Lucy which
had been in his heart for so many
Years had departed and the tears
came to his eyes. He determined then
Ito make the grandest peace upon the
Christmas day. He would call upon
Lucy himself, ask for her forgiveness
and announce the glad tidings of son
Ia most glorious gift bestowed by
God in the old Wainwright homestead.
It was day of real Christmas rejoic-
Ing, upon which the spirit of the man
who said Peace upon earth rested
and the little town Of Bethel had its
share In the advent of new citizen

IN UNIT ELIZA had lived alone fon
~ many years; her finances had
dwindled, anG her health as
well.
1t was Christmas Eve and as Aunt
Eliza returned from town with a few
little things that her scant purse could
buy, her heart was little heavy, for
the winter was before her and her
strength was failing fast.
SIN glad l got that knife for Grip
pied jim; he so enjoys cutting out
those animals. Life is worth while so
long as we can give others pleasure,
and there is always some one that we
can help. I'll read to blind Jane to-
morrow and that will help her and me
pass away the day. Tonight / must
try to think of some way that / can
earn money. Sister would help me if
she knew, so would the church ladies',
but / simply can't tell anyone. Well.
the only way to be happy is to mako
some one else happy, so I'll take jim
my's knife to him. God has never
forsaken me-" All this was going
through Aunt Eliza's mind.
AS she opened the door she stood
face to face with her only sister. She
was overcome with joy.
"Oh Eliza, all the children want for
Christmas is you. and they sent me
for you. We have nice home next
to ours, for you. We will start to-
night SO we can get there for dinner
tomorrow. You shall never feel lone
ly again"
Eliza continues to believe that MAX
ing others happy brings happiness

The Pine Tree and a
Christmas inspirations

ut HE creaking, crunching snow un-
w. der foot, as well as the crisp,
frosty air bespoke a tempera-
ture some degrees below zero. How
ever, native mid-westerners looked
for. anticipated and expected a quanti-
ty Of snow and cold weather for the
Christmas holidays Their expecta-
lions were usually right with an
added cold stretch long before thu
holidays. and long after them.
The hard lines of the massive.
bulky, stone Central Administration
building of the college was delight
fully contrasted against the dead
white, fluffy, fairy-like snow all about,
1t. This building, as did four others,
faced huge stretch of campus, with
groupings of trees scattered pleasing
ly about to break the wide expanse.
Trees, heavily hung with the almost
artificiallooking cottony webbing
formed an artistic group across the
road and in front of the building. In
the center of the group stood well
formed, tall, perfect specimen of q
long-needled pine. It was singled
out to be the proud possessor of many
colored lights distributed about gem
erously among its branches. Deserving
of praise was this awesome tree, and
its surroundings.
Silhouetted against the sky, form
ing a background for the proud Pima
tree stood the campanile, the pride
of every student on the campus. In
the dull afterglow of the winter
twilight the chimes were extolling thA
Christmas carols.
At the foot Of the narrow winding
staircase of iron which leads to tha
belfry of the eampanile, upon close
inspection could be seen a maid and
young man-not the first time, nor
would 1t be the last time the CAM
panile should witness such a sight.
The meeting had been planned in view
of their separation on the morrow
when both would go to their homes.
Moved by the sight of the proud pine,
its symbolism, and the chimes, they
babe each other farewell In fond enr
brace, carrying away with them tho
spirit CT the proud pine tree In their
hearts.-Eleanor e. King.

~ FTER a continuous fall of snow
for over forty hours, the small
town of Bethel was covered with
q pure white mantle on the day be-
fore Christmas
Over the hills the tinkIing sound of
sleigh bells was music upon the frosty
air of the early winter morning as
Judge John Wainwright looked out of
the chamber window of his farm
house. AS he peered out of the little
panes of glass with their tiny drap-
cries of snow he saw Jasper Jones
with his two-hitch pillow breaking a
way through the narrow Main street
|of the town, while an occasional salute
of Good mornin', Jasperl" came from
3neighbors as they shoveled paths from
their gateposts.
Reckon we'll have a real Christ

6sAer.
The words "a real Christmas" with
the sound of sleigh bells, rang all day
long in the ears of Judge Wainwright,
even after he had finished his supper
In company with his wife and son
Roland. "Rolley'' and his wife, Mar
Ion, lived with Judge and Mrs. Vain
! wright. Marion, being somewhat i'll
in her room, was unable to join in the
kevening meal.
After supper Judge Wainwright
climbed the handsomely carved old
colonial staircase. and when he had
Preached the seat on the landing he
sat for a moment on the red velvet
cushion to glance down at the hall
with the tall clock ticking merriIy and
the log fire swapping happily, its rosy
glow painting the white walls and
their decorations of greenery such
kpicturel And the Christmas joy of
Pthe olden days came to him. He had
|romped on these same stairs with a
|happy heart, with his sister Lucy at
)his heels. Yes, Lucy-there was the
Rne shadow on the joys of Christmas
Eve. Lucy had married against the
wishes of her family, and as a result
)none of the family were on speaking

THE CHRISTMAS
SEASON

IA Apply fatigue. Rushing,
~ hurrying, sitting up late
Doing up bundles Posting
packages. Delivering presents.
Getting so tired-out you don't
know how you can ever finish
and then a new yigor and energy
and Christmas spirit coming
over you SO that you feel you
can continue more than ever.
Wondering whether it will snow
and the snow arriving just in
time for Christmas, the stars
twinkling down on the white,
white earth. Bright red apples
with the real flavor of the coun-
try. Memories of other Christ
masses and New Years, blurred
at other times somewhat, but
poignantly vivid In the happi-
ness of Christmas-tide. This is
the Christmas season. Mary

Comparison of fingerprints of the

Mrs. MYERS was killed, with those
of the Eugene suspect, proved they
were not the same man, detectives
said
Although disappointed because
the seemingly live clue from Eugcn"

expressed Il determination not To

1t is considered likely that the

Nov. %. Officials are seriously
considering the theory that the dark
stranger of California. who killed
six women there, and the murderer
of Mrs. Monks, and Mrs. Myers are
the same man. He also is the sus-
rected slayer of three other middle
aged widows in Portland in Octo-
Der of this year.
