Ural Happenings
Forest Fire Keeps Crews Busy.


A fire broke out Friday near the
railroad right of way, about mile and
a half south of Ural. The fire patrol
soon had it under control but Satur-
day it again broke out and as there was
some wind it was soon raging fur
mace. The section crew was rushed
into action and later forestry serv-
ice crew came up from Warland. The
Stonehill section crew was also brought
down to help. There were about "a
men in action for a number of hours.
With the aid of pump brought from
Warland by the forestry service men
the fire was brought under control at
about $50. It had covered about an
acre and half. Sunday morning the
section crew and the forestry service
crew visited the scene Of the fire and
used the pump for about two hours
after which it was thought all danger
was past. Without doubt the fire
started from a spark from one of the
trains and might have resulted very
seriously but for the prompt and eff
cient action Of the various crews.

articles on the table with a flourish

if his pack were entirely empty and
held nothing at all for Jeems.
For an eternity, 1t seemed to Jeems,
his uncle remained in this terrifying

aggravating slowness, Hepsibah Adams

Know you what Is carol7
"Tis singing, with praise of God
If you praise God and sing not,
You utter no carol.
If you sing and pr. . Z not God,
You utter no carol.
If you praise anything which does not
appertain
To the praise of God,
Though, in singing, you praise,
You utter no CAROL"
1t is a curious fact that the singing
of carols, like many of our other
Christmas customs, owes something to
a pagan as well as Christian origin.
The early church found that all pagan
religions celebrated the birth of new
year. The Druids gathered mistletoe
on what is our day of Christmas, the
Romans held their saturnalia, the
Persians held agricultural ceremonies,
as did the Chinese.
TheophiIus, bishop of Caesarea,
toward the middle of the Second cen
fury, recommended "the observance of
the birthday of our Lord on what day
soever the 25th of December shall
happen" There follows definite
statement that the first official carol
was Gloria in Excelsis Dec" and the
year in which it was sung on the new
date was 100 A. D. Thus the church
was able to profit from the mood of
merriment created by the pagans. The
spirit Of joy from many religions was
merged into that of one.
Many high churchmen in the ancient
times opposed the Introduction of song
into the solemn moments.
No power, however, could stem the
tide of innocent song which had in
vaded religious observance. The first
crusade preached by Urban in 1895
gave impetus to the troubadour move
ment and the holidays for five CEN
turtles were to resound with the songs
Of their inspiration. By 1900 carol
singing was widespread in Europe and
was being introduced into England.
In the England of today wandering
bands Of Ministries or waits" pre-
serve the old customs by going from
house to house piping Christmas tunes
on reed instruments and singing
carols. 1t may be this that they sing
"Wassail, wassaill to our town!
The bowl is white, and the ale is
brown;
The bowl is made of the rosemary tree
And so is the ale, of the good barlee.

Or they may lift up their voices In

Almost every land has its own
Christmas carols. They are called
Wiegenlieder or Kristlieder in Ger
many, Noels in France, and carols in
England. In Russia the ancient
Kolyada songs, once sung to pagan
gods, now dedicated TO the Christian
saints, are sung about the streets.
1t is to Austria, however, that we
are indebted for one of our best
known Of all Christmas songs. For
"Silent Night" had its origin in
simple pre-Christmas party to which
young priest, Joseph Mohr, was in
vited in Oberndorf, near Salisbury
Austria, in 1918. At Oberndorf it wa.
the custom shortly before Christmas
for wandering comedians from the
nearby village of Laufen to give
crude representations of the Christ
mas story as recounted in the Bible
A shipowner named Maier invited
Joseph Mohr, young assistant priest
who had recently come to the village
from Salzburg, to be his guest at s
little party. AS a special surprise for
the priest, Maier arranged for the
comedians from Laufen to stage their
festival play at his home.
The thoughtful hospitality of the
Maier couple and the touching sim
plicity Of the festival play SO stirred
the young priest that instead of going
straightway home he climbed the so
called "Totenbarg" (mountain of the
dead, overlooking Oberndorf. ant
stood there in silent meditation.
The silence of the night, the blink
ing of the stars, the murmur of the
Salzach river all inspired him. Quickly
he descended to his parish house, ant
late that night the words to "Stille
Nacht" were written.
The next day he hurried to his
chum and co-worker, Franz Gruber
village organist and school teacher.
He requested his friend to write the
music for his song. Happy at this
opportunity, Gruber composed the
melody that is known perhaps to more
people than any other single melody.
Christmas eve of 1918 came and the
priest and the teacher were ready to
offer the song for the first time. Un-
fortunately the organ of st. Nicola
was out of commission that night. For
moment it seemed as though the
congregation We're to be cheated out
of this unique premiere. But Gruber
ran back to his home and got his gui-
tar To its accompaniment Mohr and
Gruber then sang "Stllle Nacht" for
the first time as duet.

parts of the country. OF course, we
have always had some Christmas
carol singing, varying in prevalence in
different parts of the country and con-
fined mainly to the Christmas exer-
cises in church and school by the chill
dren just before the holiday. But in
the hurry and haste of this modern
high-speed age and our departure in
many respects from the old forms of
observing the day. the singing of carols
is one custom which has been allowed
to lapse to a great extent.
1t is interesting to note. however,
that the Christmas carol is staging a
comeback" and that in places where
its appearance seems all the more
surprising because it is In the very
center of our modern commercialism.
In many of the big department stores
in the large cities, in hotels and in
restaurants groups of musicians,
dressed in the costumes of Old Eng
land, are playing and singing Christ
mas carols during the week before
Christmas. In some of the railroad
stations in the big cities hurrying
commuters and other railway travel
ers are surprised to hear the sound
of voices. singing old-fashioned Christ
mas carols, pealing out through the
cathedral-like spaces of these great
structures and upon pausing for
moment they see that the singing
comes from balcony overlooking the
cOncourse and that it is trained
choir of many voices which is thus
adding to the Christmas spirit in evil
dence everywhere.
The first Christmas carol Is said to
be that sung by the heavenly host
when the birth of Christ was an
nounced to the shepherds. Here is a
description of that singing as told by
st. Luke:
There were In the same country
shepherds abiding in the field, keeping
watch over their flocks by night. And,
10, the angel of the Lord came upon
them, and the glory Of the Lord shone
round about them; and they were sore
afraid. And the angel said unto them,
Fear not; for, behold, bring you good
tidings of great joy, which shall be to
all people. For unto you Is born this
day in the city of David Savior,
which is Christ the Lord. And this
shall be sign unto you; We shall
find the babe wrapped in swaddling
clothes, lying in a manger. And sud
denly there was with the angel null
titude of the heavenly host praising
God, and singing, Glory to God in the
highest, and on earth peace. good will
toward men,"
Probably the practice of singing at
Christmas rose In imitation Of this, as
the majority of the carols declare the
good tidings Of great Joy. The word
"carol" itself comes from two Latin
words meaning ito sing joyfulIy." Or
as II was defined long ago in a curious
old stanza:

EXTENSION or
TAX REDUCTION
NOT EXPECTED

WASHINGTON, June Is. W.H-
Treasury officials, after scanning
early results of June income tax
payments, today virtually abandon
ed hope of continuing the one per
cent tax cut authorized by congress
last December for 1929 incomes
only. Unless the treasury advises
congress that the lower rate should
be extended in 1880, the old rates
will be automatically restored.
Two leading factors are behind
the treasury's conclusion that con
tinuation of the tax reduction next
year is impracticable.
Unsatisfactory business condi-
tions this year and steadily drop
ping stock market indicate material
losses in taxes ON 1880 income.
Second, the treasury is facing
many large congressional expendi-
lures that We're not expected when
its estimate of $4,000, 5000 sur
plus in 1881 was made. An esti-
mated expenditure of $75,000,000
annually will result from the new
soldiers pension bill now pending.
Another $l25,000,000, is called for
by the rivers and harbors bill, and

to spend in excess of $l50,000, 900.
