For the benefit of Hoosier tenderfeet whose immediate Christmas problems are confined to locating the elusive bulb that keeps the string on the tree from lighting, we bring news of Yuletide in the desert, as purveyed by Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell Droke. Mr. and Mrs. Droke and the latter's mother, Mrs. E. L. Pinnell of Atlanta, Ga,

are spending the holidays at the Kay-El-Bar ranch at Wickenburg, |

Ariz

In the big ranch house stands a 20-foot tree hauled 40 miles from No store trimmings |

Prescott (along with a truckload of mistletoe). adorn the giant fir. Paper chains, strings of popcorn and cranberries, old-fashioned candles, oranges and apples weight the branches and around the base are gifts for the cowboys, corral bosses and children —bright scarfs and shirts typical of the West. ?
