THE YULE TREE

We see the evergreen trees stacked
along the sidewalks, lined IN front
of stores or carried by us on trucks
for the markets, and we wonder
yearly if such destruction can go
on and on without our forests SUI
fering. Few of us who have seen
them in their native woods wonder
at our Christmas demands. We are
glad to be treasured by foresters
who point out that much timber
land needs an annual wedding out
and that the large-sized trees which
we usually prefer are not the es-
sential growths for the forests. OF
course too many trees should not
be cut from the same area but thin
ming is the same for trees as 1t Is
for gardens. Stealing trees cutting
them along highways or removing
tops of them to secure a shapely tree
is unwarranted.
A Christmas tree seems essential
to the day in Kennewick. It is a
custom dating far back of the
Christian era to when pagans used
to revere certain trees and placed
gifts under this sacred trees
branches, on the ground. The ex-
change of gifts comes to us from
the early Romans and the idea OF
hanging them on a tree originated
in Germany. The choice of the
evergreen is due to it's being the
only tree ready to serve such a
purpose at this time of year. What
could be more satisfying as a SYM
Dol of peace, calm and beauty?

PLAIN TIRED


Overheard a chap in Kennewick
say the other day, when asked how
he was, I'm fatigued" It sounded
too effeminate to us for the word
seems purely ladies way of letting
you know she is "all in" Another
thing, the word fatigue doesn't
sound quite as weary as "tired out. :"
1t doesn't convey the impression Of
complete physical exhaustion but
more of the idea that the body
might be in shape to go again with
out too much effort. But to this
editors way of thinking, when the
body seems taxed by labor and the
mind is overworked from strain, ia
tigue isn't strong enough for mean
ing you are dog-tired, more dead
than alive, ready to drop, played
out or worn to death! Few of us
who do not feel this WEAKNESS and
are not Slapped of energy during
days Of labor, but how refreshed a
night of restful sleep passes off this
backache and sore muscles. We arise
to fresh start and begin another
day with zest in our endeavor to
do as much as lies within our pow
er in the new, untouched hours Of
fered us. For the man who has
never been exhausted we have a
sigh of regret for has he not miss
ed the grand feeling to be renewed
and refreshed, to pursue ones
work.

TWENTY YEARS AGO-l919

A shortage Of fuel in Kennewick
was critical. A car containing q
tons of Canadian coal was received
and was pelng distributed in 500
pound lots to those families most
in need. There were $50 applica-
lions for permits on file at the To-
cal lumber yards and the valley was
in the grip of one of the worst cold
snaps in the history of Kennewick.
The fruit warehouses were having
quite battle with the cold weather
to keep quarter of q million dol
lars Of apples from freezing.
The American Legion boys of the
Robert w. Ely Post had shown
good taste in furnishing new hall,
including floor lamps, davenports,

Sherman Muncey had purchased
the DR.. F. G. Robinson ranch north

and was planning to move there
shortly.
A. I. Smith of the Columbia Gar
age had returned from attending
conference of the distributors of
Evergreen tires in Spokane.
A. S. Murray, pioneer contractor
of Richland, had purchased the F.
G. Bier Hardware company store.
The Kennewick schools had
enough fuel to last until the be-
ginning of the Christmas vacation
However, the school entertainment
and many other organization meet
ings at night were postponed be-
cause of the fuel shortage.

The idea that the best way to con-
serve moisture is by means of a
pond on every farm is growing.
Government engineers turned down
the idea Of a pond on every farm
and promoted the big lakes. For the
same money that one big lake can
be built, thousands of stable farm
ponds can be built. Farm ponds
hold the water where it falls and
prevents its getting into the larger
streams and creating overflows and
floods. The water impounded on the
farm gradually penetrates into the
subsOil and slaves off the effects of
prolonged drouths. f. ~

There is this thing about every
old age pension plan that it's pro-
meters should not overlook. Any
pension plan is a heavier burden
upon the already overburdened tax
payer since when the scheme is
stripped down to its elements the
taxpayers are the ones who are
going to have to pay it. Merely pass
ing the law is not going to cause
money to grow on bushes or trees
Whenever a tax system becomes SO
top heavy that it brushes the tax
payer, the only source of help fol-
all needy is destroyed.

A NEW ORDER

Not so very long ago we read a
comment of an American minister
who had returned from Germany,
regarding what he termed "a re-
vival of religion" in that country.
His report indicated that due to
persecution and repression Ger
mans have realized how much their
religion means to them. We have
since received word that deals with
the same subjects but not so encour-
aging. The German Minister of
Propaganda has forbidden book
stores to stock the Bible, for "the
Bible is a Jew book" and teaches
peace" There is a stipulation tho,
for if a customer should order a COPY
he may obtain one, but in Germany
they may hesitate to place their
order! We ask here in Kennewick,
can nation so endure who repudi-
ates the Book, who believes that
God is on our side" but who won't
listen to Gods side?

THE OLD REFRAIN

What kind of a newspaper would
we be if we didn't give the yearly
message of do Your Christmas
Shopping Early? The wise shop
per has had her list made out for
months. She has worked over Aunt
Jennie and Uncle Fred's needs weeks
ago. Perhaps there is dresser
drawer in which reposes some
handwork accomplished for this oc-
casion during the summer. This is
wise lady. The holiday rush finds
frayed nerves and tired feet. The
crowded stores and delay is avoid
ed by the shopper who purchases
before the last minute. Consider
not only your own comfort, but
give a thought to the workers who
remain courteous in the face of in
consideration and fretfulness.

It Is a pretty well settled fact
that If this country is going to trade
with South America it is going to
have to be on give and take basis.
II we expect to sell our wares we've
got to buy some of theirs IF we are
unwilling to do this we may as well
give up the idea of having trade re-

tice isolation in the matter of the

countries and expect them to pur-
chase fro mus. It can't be all one

A boon to womenkind is the new
hose put on the market for trial
last month. These stockings are
made chemically from coal, water
and air. The hope is to find a
stocking that won't run and will
last madame longer than the film
sy affairs she has to replace too
frequently. The news of bottling
milk in paper cartons to cut down
on expense for housewife is welcome
to almost everyone, but does not
create the concern to Kennewick
women as does a no-run pair OF
