CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL IN HIGH GEAR

THE WORK GOING into the Christmas Festival for
st. Croix is an excellent example of community spirit and
cooperation. And that is the way it should be, tor the spirit
of Christmas calls for complete abandonment Of all that is
selfish and unkihd, and the substitution of true goodwill to
all men.
THE FESTIVAL Committee under the Craftsmanship OF
Mrs. Anna C. Brodhurst has every right to be most optimis-
tic. Of excellent results. The day-to-day work, the enthusiasm,
the cooperation from every quarter is most encouraging, TO
say the least. Radio stations, newspapers, groups OF all kinds
are pitching in, and this paper, for one is most grateful.
A SIGNIFICANT highight Of the Festival is the man
ner in which St. Thomas, experienced in its Carnival cele-
brations, has responded to the call to join with US in our
Festival. And this response is no accident when it is realized
that Mrs. Eldra Shulterbrandt. who won acclaim everywhere
for her work as general chairman Of the last St. Thomas
Carnival, is contributing Of her time and effort IN this con
nection. Al combination of these two chairmen, working as
they know how, is bound to produce satisfactory results.
HOWEVER, THERE is yet much work to be done, and
little time in which to do it. AS in all things which ultimately
lead to unquestioned success, the final push must be made,
and the Festival committee is geared towards just that To
which we add our approval
IF THE WORK going into this Festival IS any mdica-
tiono Of what is to come, everyone in st. Croix at Christmas
time IS III for a good time. Let's make It the biggest time ecer

n Sbort Story
By GOLDA M. ZEITS

OLD BLUE WAS a white horse.
More specifically, ne was hardy West
ern cayuse. Had he been of any other
breed, he would never have survived
the rigors of his first winter on
northern Montana stump ranch.
He was short and a little stockier
than most of his kind. His coat was so
shaggy that in winter ne became a
veritable polar bear, except for the pc
culiar markings that were scattered
over his sides. These were small
splotches of a moldy color, exactly as
if some one had Tipped fountain pen
across him. Doubtless these dirty blue
spots were the reason white horse
was called Blue. .
His first home was on a small.
rocky farm at the edge of a large
tract of cut-over land. There were only
a few acres cleared for farming-these,
rocky and so dry that the few sparse
loads of hay raised there were care
fully saved to feed the cows during
winter.
Most cayuses of the West do rustic
for themselves in the winter time; but
that is out in the plains country where
the snow cover is thin and the sweet
bunch grass covers the rolling hills
Blue Tended for himself in woods
country, where grass is not too plenti-
full even in summer, and where the
deep SHOWS measure two or even three
eoo+ ,,1ovoxy wars
Every scanty mouthfuI of dry feed
had to be paved out of this snow
doubtless around some of the small
pothole lakes and meadows He fed
during the short winter days At night
his only shelter was the protective
canopy of a wide spruce.
Some of these winters were very
long and severe, and it must have been
during one of these times that he de-
veloped some of his strange eating
habits. The most peculiar one was the
ability to stand on his hind legs and
eat the long. gray whiskers of moss
hanging from the evergreen trees. This
habit, he probably copied from his COM
panions of the woods-the white-tailed
deer.
Blue was Is years old when we
acquired him in farm deal-for the
impressive sum of 10 dollars. We
brought him down from the rocky hill
country to our small dairy farm in
the fertile valley.
Here, for the first time in his harsh
life, he had all the good feed he could
eat. But he could never be coaxed into
the barn, or persuaded that it was the
proper place for horse to spend the
night
His years of semi-starvation pro
duced in him kind of phobia regard
ing food. Never, could he see any other
animal being fed without attempting
to steal his although he had ac-
cess to all he could eat at any time.
Every trip to the pig pen brought
Blue, to lean over the fence, nipping the

unWary pigs until the trough mao 10 %
moved to the far side.
The call of ''Chick, Chick" meant
Old Blue as well as the hens. He would
knock the feed pail from your hand, if
possible; if not, he ran around chasing
the frightened chickens and nuzzling
the wheat from the ground.
He drank the cats milk, providing
he could get his head in the barn door
at milking time. He opened the yard
gate and ate the dogs food in spite OF
Pals angry protests.
Anything that could be chewed and
swallowed, he ate-lemon peel, ba-
mana skins, cantaloupe rinds. And stale
bread was a very special treat. Once
our girls even gave him a large jar
of dill pickles which he relished inn
mensely
The poor cows were the ones who
suffered the most at feeding time. If
they were fed outside he would rum
them, continually, never allowing them
to remain long enough at any one pile
of alfalfa to eat it. He would not even
allow them to Craze peacefully in the
pasture, and at last it became neces-
sary to fasten short length of log
chain to front leg. This he wore dur
ing summer months, slowing him
enough to protect the cows from his
teeth and ready heels.
But if the cows were his particular
annoyance in life, the calves were his
special delight and care They grazed
with him, ate from the same feed
troughs and bedded down by him at
night. We were never able to explain
his feeling for them, unless perhaps,
he thought they were the deer he knew
in the forest
The stock were driven to a fenced
pasture every morning in summer
dry pasture. so that it was necessary
for some one to open the gate about
noon, that they might go to drink.
I was alone on the ranch this par
ticular hot day and had forgotten the
cattle until nearly two o'clock.
The cows started running down the
lane as soon as / opened the gate,
Old Blue following as fast as his chain
would permit
One of the smaller calves missed the
gate. calf fashion, and ran down inside
the fence until he came to a corner,
where he stood bawling after the de-
parting cows.
It was this situation that caused me
to witness one of Old Blues many
shrewd acts He trudged slowly along
the lane head down, until he came even
with the bawling calf on the wrong
side of the fence Stopping, he looked
at the calf, turned, and walked back
up to the gate. He stepped inside and
waited for the calf to come to him;
then he walked out again, the calf fol-
lowing. and together they went to the
river.

leave pay you received from the
first day you took sick leave until
you returned to work, providing
your salary is not more than
500 a week. If your salary is
above that amount, compute
your tax exemption as II you
were making 800 q week. In
other words employees making
more than 500 a week are en-
titled to sick pay tax exemption
on the first 500 Of their weekly
salaries.
2. II you were not hospitalized
during your illness. and If you
were out less than eight calendar
days. you are not entitled to any
tax deduction for that illness.
8. II you were not hospitalized
during your illness, but II you were

calendar days. your tax exemp-
ton privilege begins with the
eighth day of your illness, sub
ject to the same 500 weekly

Typical Case Cited.
Let's take a typical case.
Suppose your salary comes to
$40 q week before any deduc-
tons. That figures out to the
rate of $14 a day. You had. q
bad case of influenza last year,
The first day you took OF on
sick leave was Tuesday, Oc-

on Friday, October is. The
eighth calendar day Of your ill
ness is October IL. So your pay
for October II. IS and Ia Is tax
exempt. AT $14 q day, that
comes to $42 for that Illness
which you can deduct from
your gross income for tax com.
putation purposes. Note that
doesn't mean that you pay $42
less income tax. It means that
no tax Is charged on that por-
ton Of your income,
Of course, If you were In the
hospital at any time during that
period. you could claim tax ex-
emption on the entire SIP pay
you received during the period
you were on sick leave.
