Christmas of 1910
Witnessed Crossing
OF DeIaauare Rive1'

The Christmas Of 1776 was an.
important one in the history Of the
American republic. This is the day,
that Washington crossed the Della
ware to attack the Hessian forces
at Trenton.
General Washington perfected his
plan Of attack on Christmas Eve at
General Greene's headquarters. He
believed that the 1000 Hessianl
troops defending the British outpost
at Trenton would fall easy victims
to a surprise attack after spend
ing a night Of Christmas feassing
and merrymaking.
The crossing Of the river began
at six o'clock Christmas evening.
Washington planned to have his en-
tire army on the Jersey shore by
midnight and begin the march to
Trenton by one o'clock so that he
could attack the Hessians just be-
fore dawn. But the ice-f1lled river
threatened to upset his plans and
some Of his officers wanted to call
of the expedition Washington,
however, resolved to carry It
through and although the crossing
took no less than 10 hours, it was
finally accomplished and four
O'Clock in the morning found his
army drawn up on the New Jersey
side ready for the seven-mile march
to Trenton.
Outposts failed to discover the
advancing Americans in time, and
the surprise was almost complete.
Although the Hessian force was cap
tured, the loss to Washington's
army was only four wounded and
not q man killed.

Crop Of Evergreens
May Prove Profitable
As Business Venture

There is no question that the
growing Of Christmas trees can be
made a profitable enterprise in
many sections where, at the present
time, the annual demand is met by
importation. A Christmas tree in
the best tradition is an aromatic,
richly green, symmetrical tree.
Since the chief sources of Christ
mas trees in North America are
New England, the Great Lakes
states, Canada, and the Pacific
Northwest, it follows that planta-
tions of trees suitable for Christmas
use and indigenous, or naturally
suited to local soils and climates,
could be made profitable in other
sections.
Suitable Varieties.
l. The Blue Spruce, a native Of
the Rocky Mountain section, is one
Of the most desirable trees for
Christmas use, because of its fra
GRANGE, its rich color, and its SYM
metrical shape. Since however, IL
is Of less rapid growth than some
other conifers, it should not be re-
lied upon as an early crop. It is
Of easy growth and, given bit Of
time, will well repay cultivation.
2. The White Spruce, native to
the extreme northern portions of the
United States, is of a beautiful color
and shape, but it, too, is slower Of
growth than are some others.
3. The Norway Spruce was intro
duced into North America from Eu-
rope, many years ago. 1t makes
rapid and easy growth and has
wide range of adaptability.
4. The White Fir, whose habitat
is western United States, is a beau
tiful tree, entirely suitable for the
plantation. If it is to be planted in
the East, the stock should be Sc
lected from Rocky Mountain growth,
for the sake of hardness.
S. The Douglas Fir has wide
range Of adaptability. It natures
more rapidly than do some of the
spruces, though not quite so quickly
as the Norway Spruce. It is of fine
form and color.
s. The Deodar, made famous by
the late Rudyard Kipling, was inn
ported to the United States from
Asia. 1t has been planted widely,
and with success and its graceful
appearance makes it very popular
as q Christmas tree. It is well
adapted to growth on the Pacific
coast and in the warmer sections
Of the East and Middle West.

tan faith, the celebration of Christ
mas became an established custom:
inheriting the feasting of ancient peo-
pies, the devotion and sacrifice Of
the early martyrs, and the message
of hope and love which the angel
of the Lord had declared unto the
shepherds Of Bethlehem.
The very first Christians solem-
nized the Mass of Christ, whence
the word Christmas has been de-
rived, at this time. And later, in
the beginning of the Christian era,
the Fathers Of the Church thought it
best to do away with the heather
Saturnalia entirely.
OF course, the Roman emperors
objected at first and many Of the
early faithful were put to death for
having observed and celebrated, not
Saturnalia, but the festival of the
birth of Christ.
In America this year, we will cher
ish the ancient traditions: we will
deck the halls and fill the stockings,
light the trees and sing the carols,
and humbly join our churches in the
solemnization Of Christ's Day so that
the faith of our fathers may be re-
newed in the hearts of ALL people
who look to Him Who was born in
the manger for salvation, in faith
believing that He is the Way, thu
Truth, and the Life, and His King
dom is everlasting.

Children Enjoy Helping
Prepare Christmas Tree

The joy of giving and preparing
for Christmas will be increased if
parents will encourage young chill
dren to work out their own ideas for
gifts. The young child can select
the one or two gifts he gives, and
should be allowed to wrap them,
and to put on stickers.
Children like to help get the
Christmas tree, to make trimmings,
and put them on the tree, which
should be only little taller than
the child. The child can paint emp
ty spools, string, straws and bits Of
colored paper. weave paper orna-
ments, make paper chains, cut sill
yer and gilt paper forms, and string
popcorn and cranberries.

u. S. Christmas
Is Melting Pot
OF Traditions

Christmas in America really is
Something! It is an observation Of
traditions heralding from all parts
of the world.
While there is no conclusive proof
that December 25th is the exact an
niversary Of the Lords birth, astron-
omers and historians have calculat-
ed that it must have occurred about
the time of the winter solstice-e.i.,
the time when the sun is farthest
from the earth.
This was season of great feast
ing among the Romans: the festival
Of Saturnalia, celebrating the return
of the sun in its course.
During the Fourth century, when
the Roman emperor Constantine rec
ognized and championed the Chris

Romans gave Presents

The custom Of giving presents was
q feature of the Romans during their
winter festival, the Saturnalia. The
early Christians gave presents to
their children on Christmas morn
ing, under the pretense that they
were the gift of the Christ Child.
There is no country in the civilized
world that has not in some form or
another the custom Of giving pres
ents. either at Christmas or around
the Christmas season, and this age
old custom can be traced to the
dawn Of history. ,I.

The French call the holiday Noel

Yule Candy a Must
For Riddles: Here's
Sweet Tooth Remedy

How it so happened that candy
and Christmas became synonymous
in the minds Of children as turkey
or chicken or goose in the minds
OF grown folks, no one knows def
nitely. You can be sure, though,
as you might know from practical
experience hearing the kiddies ask
for candy a short time after they
have gorged themselves with a big
holiday dinner, that candy is one
of the "musts" around the house
during the Christmas season.
Fortunately, candy is one Of the
most available products at Christ
mas time. If you are in the candy
making mood, here is recipe for
chocolate fudge which will appease
the sweet tooths of both young and
old:
Chocolate Fudge.
2 squares unsweetened chocolate
"a cup milk
2 cups sugar
Dash of salt
2 tablespoons butter
teaspoon vanilla
Add the chocolate to the milk and
place over a low flame. Cook until
the mixture is smooth and blended,
stirring constantly. Add the sugar
and salt; stir until the sugar is dis
solved and the mixture boils. Con-
tinue boiling, without stirring, until
small amount of the mixture forms
a very soft ball in cold water (232
degrees Fahrenheit).
If you are too busy to make cam
dy, or just can't get a "batch" to
come out, try hard as you may,
there are always the stores to which
you can 60 and make your pur-
chases of this Observation-Disclosures
necessity.
Incidentally, someone said that
there must be a Good Fairy guard
ing over not only the young children
with an Unsuitable desire for candy,
but also the grown people with a
similar desire. For if such a Good
Fairy wasn't around, there wouldn't
be enough doctors available to take
care of the stomach distress.
