HOLLY MAY SOON BE EXTINCT Papular Christmas Decoration la Growing L«m -Bountiful Each Year, According to Reports. — Christmas holly, that merriest sd4 most beloved of all growing bushes. Is threatened with extinction, according to a warning sounded by lovers of a red Christmas. Once growing profusely in southern New Jersey and Maryland. It has been swept from those states by the ruthless cutters for the city markets, and must now be sought in the swamps of Virginia and North Carolina, where already | the supply Is growing .less bountiful each year. The Gulf states have been similarly shorn to make holiday for the large cities. Within another generation, botanists say. holly will be as rare as mistletoe, which used to grow tn abundance on the Atlantic seaboard, as far north aS Raritan bay. but has now practically ceased to exist as a Christmas deci oration. When will the American people learn that the bounty of their fields and woodlands Is not limitless? With sinking hearts nature levers have long since recorded the disappearance of the delicate trailing arbutus. flower of the Pilgrim maidens, from all woods near large cities. The mountain laurel, which once swept the hills of June with pale pink drifts like naughty clouds running away from the sunset, has now retreated | to the remote mountain sides.—2»ew Turk Tribune ' • _o Castes in India.

Williams, director of the state highway body says. ] So heavily traveled now are some of the main roads of the state that erasing them is even , more hazardous than crossing a rail or electric line., Mr. Williams points out. By placing stop signs at intersections of roads, persons approaching a trunk line are apprised cT the near presence of a road on which traffic may be moving both fast and in volume, and it is believed that if drivers will use some precaution many accidents can be avoided. So heavy has overland traffic become on some of the state road.*—for instance the new Dunes highway—that an accident report just reached the 'ommission shows that when 'wo cars collided and blocked traffic for a short time, cars were tied up for a distance of 12 miles back. This accident oc- . ~’»rred a short distance out of Chicago, into which city thousands of machines* daily enter I over Indiana’s new scenic high- . wav. According to highway officials ♦he dav is not distant when the I legislature may he asked to designate inferential roads the . as boulevards in cities, and order all crora and intersecting r ads marked. o PUBLIC SALE At my residence 3 miles east of Milford, 2 miles west and | mile south of Syracuse, on FRIDAY DECEMBER 21 Beginning at 10:30 a. m. 3 Horses. 9 Head of cattle. 28 Head of Hogs. 150 Brown Leghorn and Rhode Island Red chickensl • Big lot of all kinds of farm implements. 4001 Bushels corn. 50 bushels oats, 3 bushels seed corn, potatoes, 10 acres wheat in ground. 12 acres rye in ground.

COOLIDGE HAD HARD TASK i It is doubtful if any president r since Lincoln has had a more ‘ difficult task to perform than that which fell to President Coo- . lidge in presenting his first mesr sage to congress. In addition to tae fact that his own candidacy . and political future was involv- ; ed, Mr. Coolidge was confronted with divided opinions by exper- . ienced party leadfers on the most , important subjects, and he was literally compelled to make a ‘ 9 and with the full knowledge that his desires wculd be ignor- ’ ed in the scramble of individual fence-building on the Congressional floor. His attitude regard- * ing mrst questions was pretty generally understood before the message was presented, and that . may account, in ..some measure, for the lack cf enthusiasm ex- , pressed in public sentiment. A tried and trained observer from Mas.Tchusetts states that the ‘ President’s reference to the League of Nations was applauded by many Republicans, but nq Democrats; his views against cancellation of war debts evoked 'general applause; only one Democrat expressed approval of the , Mellon tax reduction plan; only ’ Republicans applauded his pro- ’ posal to eliminate tax-exempt ' "securities; his opposition to a soldier’s bonus fell upon an al--1 most silent house; favoring a ‘ constitutional amendment prohibiting child labor was greeted • with ominous silence, and his ■ declaration for a strict enforce- : ment of the prohibition aMend--1 ment evoked but little applause. ‘ In one particular, however. President Coolidge’s message deserves and receives unanimous acclaim. He made no attempt to camouflage or side-step any He left no doubts’ as to his meaning. In thi.~i respect his message finds a ready wolrnmo. even in the hearts of his political opponents rO , . COOLIDGE PICKS CLEVELAND The Republican National Committee referred to Mr. Coolidge the question of selecting the place for holding the next national convention. Mr. Coolidge promptly named Cleveland, on June 10, and Chicago just as promptly withdrew from the field. Mr. W. M. Butler, of Massachusetts, has accepted the position of campaign manager for Mr. Coolidge. It in now almost certain that the Democratic convention will go to Chicago. It will be recalled that the cause of the Roosevelt bolt from the Republican convention was the number of delegates from Southern districts where the* Republican vote is very small. This bolt brought about a new’ schedule adopted‘by the National Commiteee in 1921, which goes in+o effect next year. It will deprive all Congresgional ; districts w’here the Republican vote was less than 2,500 from , anv representation in the con-1 vention. It is estimated that! I this will reduce the Southern \' delegation from 167 to 83. Sev- | eral northern districts will be j entitled to additions, so that | the tot*»l number in the convention will be a little more than I j that which nominated Mr. Hard-N ing. j
