A NUMBER of readers have
written me about peonleS. one

mine who has clay soil, well
suited TO peonies, gets nearly a
hundred blooms on single
plant. / have sandy soil. II /
get Is blooms on a plant I'm
lucky. SO from that point of
view a good bunch depends on
grow Ing conditions.
Now. If the expression good
bunCi means a good collection
of varieties. that IS something
else again. ! am going TO, IN to-

cessful conclusion in Europe, the
islands of the Pacific and the con-
tinent of Asia.
Aside from the relief of having
the a rel and an opportunity to
return to the pursuits of peace,
Laurel is happiest this Christmas
because so many of its boys and
girls are home. The long trains Of
empty passenger equipment moving
westward and returning east again
loaded with thousands of service
men from the Pacific, and those
other trains and planes bringing
men from Europe, have been bear
ing rich fruit for Laurel in past
weeks.
Back in October there were plain
tive letters from overseas saying
81 hope l al be home by Christ
mas" Now a very great many of
those who served are really home.
The Laurel railroad yards will not
see repeated this Christmas an in
cident that occurred on Christmas
day of 1914. A Laurel boy was be-
ing taken on a long trip in a troop
train, with ultimate destination
The route selected by
military authorities caused the train
to come into the Laurel yards,
where it waited two or three hours.
The boy could look out the a
window and see his own home and
the brightly lighted tree in the liv-
ing m tree that had been put
there for him by his Nom and the
others at home, who did not know
he was so near them
Although next Tuesday viii be
the Christmas for which Laurel has
waited four years, the observance
will be little different from the pre-
war ones. The normalacy will be
to men whose Christmas
dinner a year ago was a few bites
of X rations in a steaming jungle
of the Pacific or in the now of
Belgium.
Evergreen trees are plentiful this
year and are being offered for sale
at several places in Laurel, quite in
contrast to the war years when
trees were SCdrCe. Every NOME Will
have one, decorated and ~gift-bearing
and lighted too, if the strings Of
lights have not burned out from
700 long use.
Then there'll be the dinners at
which service men and women and
heir families will gather once more.
Those united again will find it all
'ery pleasant.
The Laurel churches will vigor-
,usly celebrate the occasion this
'ear. They have arranged programs
md services to fit their respective
particular needs, so that every
me will have ample opportunity to
70 to church.
Stores have done their best to
upply gift materials and have sue
eeded rather well. The profuseness
f selection is not so great as it was
n former times, but there has been
nough to take care of all of Santa's
leeds.
Even the weather has ~cooperated,
or it appears now that soldier boys
nee in far off places will not have
0 content themselves with merely
about "a White Christmas"
