CHRISTMAS TRADE

Every city is going to cut up very
handsome pie during the next few weeks, in
the shape of Christmas trade. Who will get
the pieces of that fine pie, distributed by the
citizens of Kennewick? Will they go mostly
to our own people, who will use the proceeds
thereof to strengthen business and employ
labor from their home city?
Or will large and generous slices of that
pie go elsewhere, to people who will make no
return of it to our community?
People who insist on going elsewhere to
spend large share of their Christmas money
seem neglectful of the interests of their
home town. A community can't prosper if
there is steady drain Of money going out
to other places.
Our people should also consider that now
is very excellent time to buy their Christ
mas gifts. The annual custom of rushing
into the stores during the week previous to
the holiday, and buying the gifts of the sea-
son so late, produces congestion that is
costly to the stores, extremely hard on the
employees of those concerns, and it places a
mountain of work on the backs of harassed
postal and express employees. People who are
hard up for cash can't perhaps anticipate
their purchases. But others will enjoy the
Christmas season better if their purchases
are made several weeks in advance.

CHRISTMAS SEALS

A huge silver cup has been presented to
Benton county for having the best child
health record of any county in the state. Just
little thought upon this statement might
bring to mind the years of work which have
been accomplished by group which has been
organized under the name of The Benton
County tuberculosis League. For twenty
seven years, according to their letterheads,
this work has been going on, and now the
results are beginning to become apparent. 1t
must be great source of pride and salts
faction to the women who have worked 80
long to see that recognition is beginning to
come.
Of course, the results could not have
been accomplished without cooperation from
the citizens of the district. That this coop
GRAFTON has been Forthcoming in the past is
the thing which gives the group the courage
to tackle this years work. By the time this
paper has reached its readers next week,
most residents will have also received sheet
or two of the Christmas Seals, the sale Of
which provides the finances for carrying on
this wonderful work. There should be no
need of urging everyone to buy and use the
seals. The small contribution thus assessed
is so trivial in view of the wonderful good
which the united efforts have accomplished.
Do your part-buy and use the Christ
mas seals. ~>... e..

A Sermon for Today
by REV. JOHN n. GUM.
A Kingly Man.

"And hath made us kings."-Reve-
lations, t.6.
The wide world mourns Albert OF
the Belgians. The newspapers have
universally paid high tribute to him,
acclaining him one Of the greatest
Kings of modern times. He has been
praised for his valor In war. He was
the leader of his people, as well as OF
his army. His craftsmanship added
laurels to his heroism. That Belgium
remained true to constitutional gov
ernment and to human liberty while
other distraught countries In Europe
were turning to Communism or dc
tatorship is ascribed to the wisdom
and fidelity of Albert.
I think the finest tribute paid to
him was the following: Albert the
First of Belgium was every inch q
King, and would have been in any sta
ton or walk of life. He had SOW
erignty in his soul. The 'king-be-
coming graces,' as Shakespeare calls
them--justice, verify, temperance,
perseverance, stableness, mercy, lowli-
ness, devotion, patience, courage, for
titude-he embodied them all; and
they made him, alike in the storm of
war and the ministries Of peace, q
hero such as the world has rarely
seen, since sages were sung and
knighthood was in flower"
A true King, crowned or uncrownedi
That surely is the finest and highest
word that can be said Of man. Un-
less one has sovereignty in his soul
you cannot make him a true king by
placing him on a throne and putting
a crown on his head. If one pos
sesses the king becoming graces" he
does not require the glitter Of
throne and palace to make his life
radiant and powerful. Once the null
titude tried to take Christ by force
and make him King. What II He
had consented? How much do you
think 1t would have added to the
power and influence He wields In the
world today?
We are wont to attach too much
importance to thrones and high po-
sitions, to crowns and purple robes. to
wealth and social station, as instru-
ments Of power and influence These
things may put it into the hands Of q
man to be more exemplary and more
useful than he could in an obscure
and private life; but independent Of
them one may achieve a character
that will cast its radiance across every
land and all the coming ages. That
which appeals to the highest in hu-
manity is kingly character, not king
ly pomp and glitter. The world owes
more to its uncrowned kings than to
all the monarchs that ever welded the
royal scepter. Albert of the Belgians
Is mourned over the world today, not
merely because he was q kingly ruler,
but more because he was q kingly
man.

"A 20 LEGEND Is more popular
or unshakable than that
VI which relates that the robin
1 Y is the first bird to return tc
us in Spring. Repeatedly
scientists remind us, that the robins
that even now have begun to whistle,
while rude winds still walk an almost
f1owerless world, that even now appear
in their gay wedding clothes, are only
birds that braved out the Winter
among us.
The conclusive evidence is that the
pied-billed grebe, the woodcock, the
Savannah sparrow, the chipping
sparrow and the pipit all have estab-
lished earlier records for return. But
who cares for woodcocks and pipits?
And what, after all, is a pied-billed
grebe? Did you ever see one? Do
you wish TO see one? The nays
have 1t.
In a way. the much abused public
Is right about 1t. No other bird, resi-
dent or migratory, so early lifts up
his voice in the courting song. And
none other so early climbs into his
glad rags. and, literally, adds to the
gayety of nations. The robin is the
first singer worthy of the name to
open the chorus of Spring.
For poets and for ornithologists
alike. the robin is "trite" bird. He
is abundant, ubiquitous, conspicuous,
and far, far too popular with us-the
masses. I cannot see how this really
detracts from his charm. A mountain
Is as high as 1t looks, and a bird is
as sweet as he sounds, as fair as he
seems.
To the early Colonists the robin
was. like everything else here, a bit
bigger and better than the CORE
spending article left in the Old Coun-
try. The robin of Europe is no bigger
than a sparrow; his sweet warbling
lay is certainly no finer than the
swinging, CHEEKY, captivating, irresist-
ibie melody Of our species. To be sure,
his famed breast Is a brilliant GRIM
son. while ours has only a ruddy.
brick-red hue. and his manners are
gentler more like those of a wren or
sparrow. Our bird Is a notorious
worm-catcher, a fellow Of boundless
energy and up and coming ness.
That, too. is American, 7 take It; and
altogether I can see nothing against
our ruddy-breasted thrush, for that
Is what he really is.

The Blues.

uC oluCo.
The blues come and go. Gener-
ally they don't amoun- to much. AT
least half the time you cannot ac-
count for them, for they originate in
the unconscious as well as the con-
scious. But still the "blues" are inter
estin-. Try to understand them. Their
mere recurrence should inform you
that they are fundamental. They play
a leading role in your daily struts
across the stage Of life.
The most recent explanation Is this:
When you have an attack of the
blues you are trying to get away from
something. They are your defense
mechanism" Your personal flight
from reality" Attempting to escape
from something. Most of the time
you cannot account for these "es-
capes."

But how I caught it. found it. or

The wSrd "anagram" comes from
Greek, and means backward writ
ing" Puzzles Of the anagram type
have been known for many years; but
playing games with anagram sets has
become popular only during recent
times.
Anagram sets are sold by many de-
partment stores, book stores and FIVE
and-ten cent stores. They consist
Of letters Of the alphabet pasted or
printed on squares Of cardboard, wood
or other hard substances. More
squares Of each vowel are given than
Of each consonant, because more
words need a given vowel than q
given consonant. The letter "e" by
the way Is used more often than any
other letter in the alphabet.
Rules Of the game are included
with the sets. They differ somewhat,
but the most common method Of play
ing appears to be this:
The letter squares are placed on
q table, face downward. There need
be no more than two persons playing,

single piece, and turns 1t over to look

which are face upward on the board
are 20" and "Y," and that the first
player has "B" in his hand. He sees
that he can make a word, BOY" and
he does so-placing the word on his

thrush, though famous as he is, little
known outside of his beloved range.
Many have mistaken this bird for
the robin. They are about the same
size, that is, 10 inches long. and at
first glance appear to be the same
color. The second glance tells you
how wrong you are. The varied
thrush is slate-color on the back.
He wears a handsome black vest and
a stripe over the eye, which gives
him a very wise look. He has an
orange-colored shirt, jaunty black
cap, and the wings are crossed by a
band of white on the inner webs.
His bill is black with a pale base.
His feet are purplish, flesh color and
the soles are a bright yellow.
The call note is a single, modu-
lated, deep staccato cluck. His con-
versational voice is slowly uttered
series Of uncanny sounding syllables.
These are voiced in different pitches,
now low, now high, each note intoned
for some seconds as "Zurrrrrrr." His
song Is Of five or six notes, in a
minor key and on descending scale.
Heard In the depths of the woods,
this song Is enchanting, and gives you
a wierd sese of mystery and quietness.
In the Northern spruce woods, the
coniferous trees, that are located close
to the water, are chosen by these
birds for nesting sites. Sometimes
you will find nest as high up as 25
feet, again it will be built on the top
of a pile Of driftwood. 1t is made Of
twigs. stems, leaves. mud, grass, moss
and lichens. The lining reminds you
of the robins nest. There are four
or five eggs that are ovate in shape,
and a bluish-green or greenish-blue,
vell-spotted and blotched with dark
lumber brown.
After the babies are raised. the
birds come out of seclusion and are
more friendly. In the Winter. you
will see numbers of them in the deep
