Libby Farm Women
Enjoy Christmas Party

The ladies of the Libby Farm
Women's club held their annual
Christmas party on Friday at the
home of Mrs. Nan Smith with Mrs.
Carroll as hostess.
The living room was made gay
with beautiful Christmas tree.
As the guests began to gather most
interesting looking packages were
piled high beneath its branches.
The long table was graced with a
clever centerpiece. Santa Claus in
his sleigh was driving his reindeer
around lovely lake When every
one had found their places. Mrs.
Herbst gave thanks for our many
blessings of the past year. A Won
derful Christmas dinner was served.
Since each guest had been response
BILE for some part of the dinner, it
was one surprise after another. The
salads served in lovely handled bas-
kets made out of oranges by Mrs
Manicke and Mrs. Erickson. and the
two lovely birthday cakes made by
Mrs. Lee Nixon and Mrs Martenson
were perhaps the prize winners. The
honor of cutting the cake fell to
Mrs D. Bowen, Mrs. Rice. Mrs.
Martenson and Mrs. Z. Bowen, who
have December birthdays
Going back to the living room the
fun of opening the many packages
began.
In appreciation of the many beau
tiful birthday cakes Mrs. Martenson
had made each month, she was pre-
sented with lovely lace table cloth
by members of the club.
Games were played and songs
sung to finish UP grand day.

highway committee, reported on oil
ing activity here and also told OF
correspondence and conversations
he had had with officials looking to
further crawling and oiIing Most
of those matters have been previous
ly reported in these columns. How
ever, Mr. Neils brought up an adj
ditional important matter. He re-
ferred to the proposal by President
Roosevelt to drastically cut federal
highway appropriations. MIR. Neils
said 1t was highly important that
western districts take action oppos-
ing this cut before it is too late. He
cited the fact that most of the high
ways in the East are finished and
that that part of the nation would
be in favor of cut for economy
reasons. MIR. Neils favored the bal
ancing of the budget by the federal
government and said he would be
in favor of adding cent or cent
and half to the federal gas tax In
order to raise the needed money to
continue highway aid, If it were
necessary to do so. Upon motion
by Nj. d. Rowland it was moved that
a resolution be forwarded to Senat-
or Wheeler protesting the proposed
reduction in federal highway aid,
with the suggestion that the fderal
gas tax be increased one cent per
gallon if it were absolutely neces-
sary to do SO in order to continue
federal aid.
MIR. Neils also reported that he
had taken up with Major Kelly,
regional supervisor of the forest
service, the matter of oiling the
highway from Troy to the Idaho
line. Kelly said no money had
been budgeted for that purpose and
promised to look into the matter.
Fish and Game Matters
Z. M. Boyes, chairman of the fish
and game committee. submitted an
interesting report. He told of the
visit of two biological survey men
here and plans made for the poison
ing of coyotes. Two or three old
horses had been secured, he said, to
be used as bait. Boyes said it was
his personal opinion the open sea-
son on buck elks should be three
days instead of eight days as recon-
mended by the Rod and Gun club
He suggested that the big job for
the club is to get vigorously behind
the state fish hatchery here and
work for the building up of fishing
in this district. He said fish and

Tommy Il should think that know

too lazy to hunt for food outside and
that the youngsters would never learn
what to hunt for, or where or how to

1t is said that the most beautiful
and varied collection of hollies is to
be found at the Kew Gardens in
England. Here you will find the
famous holly walk" planned and
planted in 1874.
Only the American and English
holly trees have rich green leaves.
These are outlined with sharp spines
or teeth. The fruiting branches have
round crimson berries on them. On
the American holly they are usually
solitary and on the English one clus-
tered. These leaves are usually ellipti-
cal in shape and from 2 to inches
long. The English holly tree reaches
q height of 40 to 10 feet, with rather
short, spreading branches, which
form q dense pyramidal head, while
our holly rarely is higher than so
feet, with a narrow pyramidal head.
There are male and female trees
in both hollies. Sometimes a female
tree will have both types Of flowers.
One male tree will produce enough
pollen to fertilize 10 female trees.
In the early days of our country
the American holly had a natural
range from Massachusetts to Mis-
souri, and south to Florida and
Texas. Too much harvesting in
Massachusetts to Central New Jersey,
except on private property, has al
most wiped out the species. Today
the greatest growth for commercial
needs Is from Norfolk. Va, to Florida
within so to so miles of the coast
and westward in the Gulf region to
Louisiana. There are several nurs-
cries as far North as Long Island and
Massachusetts that are growing holly
plants successfully today.
It is estimated that about 10000
persons in the eight Southern coun-
ties on the Eastern Shore of Mary
land are engaged in harvesting holly
and from their labors receive an in
come Of $150,000 annually.
From this we can realize in way
the popularity of this lovely ever
green. 1t is the continuation of the
custom Of the Druid feasts which
honored the mistletoe and holly In
pagan rites.

Tommy nodded. 1--WE certainly did, "

TOO bad" replied Aunt Sally, "but
1t proves my point. They didn't have

come here and had all they could eat
But they knew that corn was in the
milk and they wanted corn. So they

Helga looked so excited. She could
hardly wait to hear the Fairy Queens

This is my plan," said the Queen.
You know that on stormy nights
I send people from my kingdom to
ride the ships of good men and bring
them safely through to port.

and the sailor Santa, may We go?"
WILL you come and see me some
times, and tell me stories of
your adventures" said Santa.
Certainly" chorused Helga and
the sailor.
We'll, then, you belong to the
Fairy Queen from now on" said Santa.
"Kneel. both of you." said the Fairy
Queen, and Helga and the sailor knelt
before her. She touched them with
her wand, and said, Nov fly to the
top of the fireplace"
But, we can't" started the two
dolls, and then suddenly they felt
themselves soaring through the air
just like birds-or like fairies. Sure
enough. they weren't dolls any more.
To this day they live with the Fairy
Queen, and fly to aid boats in storms.
Maybe, some time, they'll be on the
boat you're on, but you won't know it.
Every one rushed 70 help Santa get

Holly
(Ilex opaca).
By LILLIAN cox ATHEY.


TOR the past three weeks there
l. have been large, beautiful holly
trees laden with berries in
4 great trucks travelling along the
highways ent~ ling Washington. Each
time 1t means some one has pur-
chased mother holly with her
branches filled with seed children.
Let us hope that these lovely trees
will take root and flourish in their
new locations.
A holly does not hear berries until
1t is S years old. Before that time
the male and female trees cannot
be told apart. There are more than
300 species of lex (the holly genus).
All are native to the temperate and
tropical regions of both hemispheres.
