oaks, birches and hemlockS. At last
there crept in a tiny fir tree from
the frozen North. It was so small and
modest that none paid any attention
to it until suddenly star dropped
from the skies and twinkled on a
bough Of the little tree, then anoth-
er and another, until the fir tree was
spangled with celestial lights.
Decoration Idea is Old.
Many more stories are told about
the Christmas tree. The idea OF
decorating trees for festivals is very
old, going back to the Egyptian pha-
raohs, whose people dressed their
homes with palm leaves in mid
winter.
Another story is about Winifred,
an English crusader who happened
upon a group of Teutons worship
ing a mighty oak in honor of Thor,
their thunder god. Winifred stopped
them from sacrificing a young boy
to appease Thor's "anger," then
with his great sword felled the oak
with one stroke In it's place there
suddenly appeared young fir with
a star twinkling on it's top branch,

lis the living tree. This shall be
the sign of your new worship. Garry
this fir tree into your home and
worship it there"
Origin of Tree.
Some historians say the Christ
mas tree originated in Alsace in
1905 when the people brought fir
trees to their homes and decorated
them with paper roses. apples and
waters.
Americas first Christmas tree
was set up in Wooster, Ohio, in 1843,
by August Imgard, a German immi-
grant. The first lighted tree in a
church was at Cleveland Lutheran
church in 1848.

But always he remembered Linda,
dear little sister Linda. In 40 years
her memory always came back
stronger than ever on Christmas

to climb Lookout Hill hand-in-hand

BY E. l.. KIRK, Vocational
Agricultural Teacher, Sails

On MONDAY morning, August 10,
the winners of the Contest on Dairy
Improvement left Kosciusko for the
dairy sections Of Missouri and Wis
consin. We reached Neosho, Mis-
souri,, Monday night where we were
met by Mr.. Lloyd Gulick, field man
for the Pet Milk Company in that
territory.
Tuesday morning we started on
our farm to farm visits in south west
Missouri studying dairy programs as
carried on by farmers in that area.
II was most interesting to note the
size of farms and the practices car
ried on each one. We visited farms
which ranged in size from 40 acyCs
to 270 acres. The land on these
farms is very steep and stony, but
practically every foot of each farm
is put to some profitable
use.
Specific cases will perhaps give a
better picture of what farmers in
the Neosho territory r doing.

of corn is cut for silage, the balance
harvested for grain. In 1889 Mr..
Richardson MIXED five cows, pro

and 100 lbs of fat. For this he re-
ceived $533.17 from the sale of

he produced 1924 lbs of milk for

ganized in Holmes county Friday in
a meeting at Lexington attended by
fifty or more livestock owners in
this section.
The meeting was called by Sheriff
W. A. Ramsey and County Attorney
Pat M. Barrett for the purpose Of
organizing the association which will
work comparatively to deal with cat
tie thieves.
Mr. Barrett presided over the
meeting and told the stock owners
of the new law enacted by the legis-
lature in its last session to permit the
organization of such association and
empowering the governor to CO.
operate with them in tracing cattle
thieves which have been operating
on quite an extensive scale in this

cattle thieves.
Officers were elected as follows:
H. P. Watson, president; W. R. Ellis,
secretary; w. H. Fincher, treasurer.
A board of directors composed of
one member from each beat in the
county was named: Beat 1, C. T.

coming members later.

much he can accomplish if he wants
to.
Concrete examples Of what can
be done with a small number of
cows is shown by data furnished
us by E. L. Kirk, vocational ag-
ricultural teacher at Sails, and a
letter written by c. M. Comfort,
Kosciusko, who were in the group
that made the trip. Mr.. Kinks
article is found on this page and
the letter from Mr.. Comfort will
be found on page 2. We respect
fully ask your attention to both.
We know that prosperity for the
farmers means general prosperity
throughout this section and com
munity. We want to do everything
possible to help the farmers of
Holmes and Attala counties realize
to the utmost their possibilities.
We believe that every farmer
will benefit from this meeting. We
cordially invite and urge you and
your friends to be present at this
meeting.
We also invite the business and
professional men of Holmes coun-
ty to the meeting and urge each of
them to do there bit toward pub
licizing and encouraging it.
We guarantee you only n
thing at this meeting: You will
not be bored with long-winded
speeches and you will go away feel
ing that the evening has been the
most profitable one you've spent
in ages.
May we count on YOUR at

Starts September 18th

Beginning Sunday morning, Sept

put on a revival campaign which will
run some eight or ten days in which
Rev. E. C. Driskell of Walden will be
the preacher. l know Of no one in this
section who is more beloved and more
