"A know
WOMAN
HAD GUARD FOR CHRISTMAS DAY

Wilbur F. Sanders, Montana pioneer who served as prose-
cutor of the road agents at Virginia City, wrote in December,
1899, of his first Christmas in Montana
He spent it at Virginia City in 1863. Four nights before
the citizens of the mining camp had hanged a murderer with
"reSolute sternness resolving to put a n end to a saturnaha of
robbery and blood" Because Sanders was the prosecutor, a
bodyguard of four persons had been assigned to him The
citizens feared that 81 was in mortal peril" Sanders wrote.
He spent Christmas with these men
"Our turkeys came from Salt Lake valley and cost from
$50 to $40 apiece. Our Christmas dinner was at the Mechanical
Bakery late in the day and meanwhile we discharged the not
entirely customary social functions"
The prosecutor wrote that conditions had compelled "us
to form a Vigilance Committee then in its chrysais state, and
as we celebrated Christmas we watched each other with in
tense sohcitude, wondering if in the crisis certain to come,
there would be any ninching."
-. we nevertheless had a good cheer and voted that
we had all enjoyed a very Merry Christmas"

best available information fndi-
Gates that gross farm income next
year will total $S4-5 billion, rep
resenting a four per cent gain
over 1856. And the importance
of that four per cent may be
Judged from the fact that 1t just
about equals the total value of
all the farm equipment the farm
er bought in 1856.
Next year, Mr. Duffy went on,
the farm equipment industry
looks for a substantial improve
ment in sales - about IL per
cent over this year, for a total
of S1.35 billion. He quoted Vince
Ter McMillen of Farm Journal
on the future of agriculture:
THE solid values are still in the
land. The demand for food will
never cease. Every new baby
brings into the world an appe-
tite and a pair of hands to earn
food - but does NOT bring a
new acre on which to raise the
food . We are adding appetites
at the rate of 8 million a year"
This certainly means that in the
future farmers will have to take
full advantage of new techniques,
new machine tools and new seeds
and fertilizers.
Mr.. Duffy also had something
to say on a subject of top i'm
portance - the family-type farm.
Far from being a dying institu-
ton, he thinks it" 4. is here to
stay, indeed to grow and
strengthen its importance in the
overall picture" That isn't just
a hope - the facts back it up.
While the total number of farms
in the United States has dropped
steadily since 1885, the proper
ton of family farms to the total
has held steady. In a late year
they produced roughly two
thirds of all agricultural output,
about the same share as in 1910.
Many family farms now repre-
sent a capital investment of
S5O,O 900 or more. To quote him
again, This growth in size and
productivity of our family farms
is one of the most significant
factors in our nations rising
standard of living"

PART OF
CHRISTMAS

Holly branches r part of the
Christmas scene. Even before
there was a Christmas the an
cient Romans found that the
shiny, prickly green leaves and
red berries of the holly tree were
ideal as festive adornment for
the halls where they celebrated
their feasts of S~aturnalia.
Holly came to be considered
sacred by many because its beau
ty was greatest at a time when
most other trees were barren.
Evil spirits and witches hold
powerful sway in the legends
and folklore of all peoples and
they account for holly's present
position as a doorway decoration.
1t was placed over entryways
and windows in the belief that
its thorns would ward off these
unwanted visitors. Regardless of
legendary spirits, one thing is
sure, Christmas holly is here to
stay as an expression of the
friendliness, good will and joy
of the season.

be at least z inches in width, and
should not be soaked but mois-
tened. If Irvine is used, be sure
it is strong, loop it all around
the length and girth of the pack
age twice to form a double
strand, then knot it securely
where the strands meet.
Take some pains with your
marking. From" and ITO" ad-
dresses should be hand-printed
on the top of the package and
repeated on one side. Black cray
on or heavy pencil are best, as
ordinary ink may smudge. Gum
med labels, preferably typewrit-
ten, are also suggested. It's a
good idea to place an extra adj
dress label inside the package, to
provide Identification if outside
marks become illegible.. Beware
of sloppy printing and abbrevia-
tons. States should be identified
fully. For example, there are 20
towns named Madison in as
many states.
In holiday shipping, a little
care really pays off.
