Li0ing Trees
Christmas Center Piece
Will Thrive If 1t Is
RepIanted.

RH Times Special
NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-Thou-
4 y sands of American families
will have living Christmas trees
in their homes this year. Then,
when the holidays are past, the
trees will be planted outside to
decorate lawn or garden and keep
fresh the memory of this Christ
mas for many years to come.
According to an article in the
December American Home, the
living Christmas tree will live
ninety-f1ye times in 100 when
planted out, provided reasonable
care is taken.
For this double use, the tree
bought from the nursery is prefer
able as it has been sheared into a
more compact shape and, having
been tranSplanted several times,
it has a ball of roots to which
earth clings. The wild tree with
struggling roots from which the
earth easily falls off, more fire.
quently dies
Before the tree is bought, the
place where it is to be planted
should be selected and a bushel
basket of leaves or straw dumped
over the spot, leaving the basket
upturned with the material in
side. This will prevent the ground
from freezing and make it easier
to dig the hole.
In planting, leave the hurlap
on the tree, loosening it at the
top. The dirt should be we'll
firmed around the root ball and
the tree copiously watered, both
at planting and at frequent inter
walls later.
Aside from the extra weight, the
live Christmas tree is easy to han
die, as it will stand upright with
little support much more readily
than a cut tree will. A large tree
can be set inside a tub, while it
is in the house, or on top Of tub
or box. A smaller size can be put
in a bushel basket, and smaller
still in a candy bucket.

SPEED FOREIGN
YULE MAIL IS
POSTAL PLEA
Precise Directions Given
With Rush Appeal by
BrySon.

Several new notes are sounded
this year in Postmaster Bryan's an
nual call to mail early and avoid
the rush
The old familiar injunctions are
necessary but there is an intima-
ton that the public is improving its
mailing behavior.
There is now more precise news
of foreign and domestic schedules,
information about European air
mail lines and details of such in
novations as how to mail your
Christmas cards in November and
yet have them delivered a day or
two before Christmas.
Adding the phrase eff it's going
abroad, get it aboard" to the lexicon
of Christmas preparation phrase
ology, the Indianapolis poStoffice is
this year giving special attention to
the increasingly important volume
of holiday mail for foreign coun-
tries.
Mail Jams Steamships
Each year, according to officials,
the volume of laSt-minute Christ
mas mails for foreign destinations
causes a great concentration of eff
fort on the part of the postoffice
and steamship companies to move
the mail across in time.
All available space on the ship is
piled high with mail sacks. And
when the mail reaches a foreign
port Just before Christmas it en-
counters the usual congestion.
To send Christmas mail abroad,
according to the postmaster, it
should be posted Immediately. The
last few steamers scheduled to reach
their destinations before Dec. Is are
loaded with mail.
Here are the latest approximate
dates for mailing letters and cards:
France, Germany and England, Dec.
IA; Austria, Central Europe and
Russia, Dec. g.; Spain, Dec. IL;
Scandinavian countries, except Den
mark, Dec. 8; Italy, Dec. IL; Den
mark. Dec. IL; Japan, Dec. 2; Chile,
today; Argentina Dec. l; Brazil,
Dec. 8. Parcel post packages must
be mailed earlier.
Speed Is Recommended
No exact time, according to post
office officials, can be given when
foreign Christmas parcels should be
mailed, as there are SO many Gus
toms regulations abroad that must
be complied with before delivery. 1t
is advisable that all such parcels be
mailed as soon as possible.
The outstanding reason for the
postmaster's plea for early mailing
is that during the holiday time the
volume Of mail increases approx
mately 200 per cent.
In the case of Christmas cards,
special facilities for early mailing
are offered. Patrons sending a
quantity of Christmas cards, say,
ten or more" it is officially stated
should prepare and mail them two
or three weeks in advance, as mil
lions are mailed and. they cannot
possibly be handled and delivered
if mailed only two or three or four
days before Christmas"
The solution is: To avoid this,
patrons may mail their cards two
OF three weeks before Christmas, If
delivered to the postoffice or postal
station in person, or tied together
in a bundle, labeled to show that
they are Christmas cards, and de
posted in a street letter or pack
age box.
They then will be segregated.
stamped with the date on which to
be delivered, and delivery effected
one or two days before Christmas.

Our Lord and Savior


In the beginning was the Word.
and the Word was with God and the
Word was God. The same was in
the beginning with God. All things
were made by Him; and without Him
was not anything made that was
made. In Him was life, and the life
was the light of men. And the light
shineth in darkness and the darkness
comprehended il not. He was in the
world aud the world was made by
Him and the world knew Him not.
And the word was made flesh and
dwelt among us and we beheld His
glory, the glory as of the only be-
gotten son of the Father fun of
grace and truth. And He was
clothed with a vesture dipped In
blood and His name is called the
Word of God Look unto me and
be we saved all the ends of the earth

gone out of my mouth in righteous
ness and shall not return. That un.

tongue shall swear. For | am the

ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
AS for our Redeemer, the Lord of
Hosts is His name, the Holy One of
Israel. Jesus came not only 70 re-
deem but TO dwell in us. And 10,
the angel of the Lord came upon
them and the glory of the Lord shone
around about them and they were
sore afraid. And the angel said un.
to them, "Fear not: for behold,
bring you tidings of great joy, which
shall be to all people. For unto you
is born this dav in the city of David
Saviour which is Christ the Lord"
1t is a good thing TO give thanks unto
the Lord, and to sing praises unto
Thy name, o Most High. To show

nations; praise Him all We people.
For His merciful kindness is great
toward us; and the truth of the Lord

QUICK INCREASE
HIT BY RULE

New appointments in the Gov.
eminent service, with PROMOTIONS
on the same day, were frowned
upon by Comptroller General Nc
Carl, in decision given today to
j. b. Callahan, chief disbursing
officer Of the Interior Department.
Callahan had inquired of the
Comptroller General as to the
legality of payment of a voucher
for $3.50. paid to william A. Du Puv
for work between March Is and
March 81, last, at the rate Of
$500 year.
Callahan explained that Du Puy
was appointed to the department at
a rate Of $4,000 and promoted the
same day to the So, 500 grade.
McCarl held that such practice
was apparently contravention Of
two Government reguiations--one
providing that all new appointments
shall be made at the minimum rate
of grade or class, the other stip-
sation shall he allowed on attainir z
and maintaining appropriate eff.
cheney ratings.
The Comptroller General stated
that these rules had been disre-
garded in the case, and served
notice that it must not happen
again. The decision, however, will
not be retroactive.
