)I1KN one thinks of the tra-
ditions of Christmas cele-
bration in New England, the
Middle states, and even far-
ther West, in the early part
of the Nineteenth century,
^ ,, it is to vision snow-covered
J-w ground, Rleigh rides, and the
Jingle of sleigh hells, with Christmas
trees and Santu Claus, much as today
In those sections. Whole families go-
ing visiting in the bob-sled, to par-
take of the Christmas feast built
around the turkey!
Those were great times and days,
and their annals live in tlie works of
famous literati of the East coast when
our Republic was comparatively young.
Rut at the same time a mighty civi-
lization was being builded on the West
coast, though how different was the
Christmas observed in the sparsely
settled and undeveloped land that is
now California! And how few to
leave reeord!
However, Albert Robinson, a clerk
who left Boston for California in July,
3828, and after 110 days reached Val-
paraiso, and Monterey on February 15,
1829, has left in his “Life in Califor-
nia,” published In the late forties, a
description of a Christmas celebration
held at the mission in San Diego that
shows the contrast between such
events on the east and west coasts at
that time.
Robinson’s business took him to va-
rious parts of the (now) state, and
while on a visit from his headquarters
in San Francisco to his friend Don
Jose Antonio Estudillo, coinandante of
San Diego, wrote of tlie Christmas fes-
tivities lie had witnessed:
“Don Jose Antonio . . . was
ever on the alert seeking for some
new device for my gratltication. It
was nearly time for the religious fes-
tival of ‘la noclie buena’ (the holy
night) and lie directed the customary
exhibition of the ‘pastores.’ They
were rehearsing night after night, till
Fireworks Were Set Off, and All Wat
Rejoicing.
at length Christmas arrived, and 1
had an opportunity of beholding the
midnight mass and the subsequent per-
formances.
“At an early hour Illuminations
commenced, fireworks were set off,
and all was rejoicing. The church
bells rang merrily, and long before the
time of mass the pathways leading to
the presidio were enlivened by crowds
hurrying to devotion. I accompanied
Don Jose Antonio, who procured for
me a stand where I could see distinct-
ly everything that took place. The
mass commenced, I’adre Vincente de
Oliva (died 1845) officiated, and at the
conclusion of the mysterious ‘sacri-
ficin' he produced a small Image rep-
resenting the infant Savior, which ho
held in ids hands for all who chose
to approach nnd kiss.
"After this, the tinkling of the gui-
tar was heard without, the body of
the church was cleared, and immedi-
ately commenced the harmonious
sounds of a choir of voices. The
characters entered In procession,
adorned witli appropriate costumes,
nnd bearing banners. There were six
females representing shepherdesses,
three men and a boy.
"One of the men personated Lucifer,
one a hermit, and the other Bartolo,
a lazy vagabond, whilst the boy repre-
sented the archangel Gabriel. The
story of their performance is partial-
ly drawn from the Bible, nnd com-
mences with the angel’s appearance
to the shepherds, his account of the
birth of our Savior and exhortation
to them to repair to the scene of the
manger.
“A dialogue is then carried on of
considerable length relative to the at-
tributes of tlie Deity, which ends in
the submission of Satan.
"The whole is Interspersed with
songs and Incidents that seem Better
adapted to the stage than the churt'h.
"For several days tlds theatrical
representatloi Is exhibited at the
principal houses, and the performers
at the conclusion of the play are en-
tertained with refreshments. The
boys take ar enthusiastic part In the
performance, nnd follow about from
house to house, perfectly enraptured
with the comlculitles of the hermit
and IlJtrtolo.”
IIow different from the gay Christ-
mas celebrations of California's pres-
ent millions! And how different from
whnt was taking place on the east
coast!

Profit to Owners
of Purebred Bulls
Oklahoma Cattlemen Have
Proof of Value of
Good Sires.
Cattlemen of McUurtaln county, Ok-
lahoma, as a result of the eradication
of the cattle tick, expect to receive
through the use of purebred bulls,
more than double their usual returns
on the sale of spring calves, according
to Shawnee Brown, county agricul-
tural agent. On two different occa-
sions since 1928 when this county was
freed of the ticks, the cattlemen vis-
ited sections where purebred beef
cnttle were raised and purchased a
total of 49 purebred bulls.
The Introduction of these valuable
purebreds would not have been prac-
tical while tlie farms were still In-
fested with ticks. In August, 1931, the
county contained more than 2.000
calves sired by Hie purebred bulls
that had been bred to native and
grade cows.
Tlie Increased value of these grade
calves as compared to calves sired by
scrub bulls is shown by tlie prices re-
ceived by two neighboring stockmen.
One hnd scrub calves for which he re-
ceived $10.20 a head while tlie other
had grade calves which brought an
nverage of $30.10. Berth lots of calves
were from scrub cows. As these grade
calves were typical of the 2.000 spring
calves in the county, it is estimated
that they are worth close to $40,000
more to their owners than If scrub
hulls had been used instead of pure-
breds. This is more than double the
returns ordinarily received from the
same number of calves sired by scrub
bulls.
McCurtain county has its own live-
stock association which aims, during
tlie next five years, to continue to in-
crease the quality of nil tlie beef cat-
tle In the county through the further
use of purebred sires.
Wheat’s Value as Feed
Many live stock feeders can make
the best of a bad situation this year
by feeding cheap wheat. As one cat-
tleman has put it, “No matter how low
grain prices go, wheat is always worth
40 cents a bushel as feed.”
Wheat as a feed for hogs equals or
slightly excels corn, pound for pound,
says Wallace’s Farmer. It Is 90 to 100
per cent as valuable as corn for cnttle
and lambs. It is not quite ns palat-
able as corn for cattle and lambs, hut
hogs eat it very willingly. In order to
provide variety, it Is wise to feed
wheat In combination with other
grain.3.
The one important thing to keep In
mind is that wheat must be coarsely
ground for best results, except In the
case of lambs. Fine grinding produces
n floury mass that sticks in the ani-
mals’ teeth. Unsatisfactory results
from feeding this grain usually have
been due to poor quality wheat or to
improper methods of feeding.
Silage Needs Water
It Is essential In flllinp a trench silo
to add plenty of water throughout the
process says G. E. Martin of the Mis-
souri College of Agriculture. Wetting
the edges Is of special Importance If
the silage Is put against dry earth,
since the earth will absorb some of
the juices from the silage nnd molding
will result If there Is not enough
water present. A good plan to Insure
plenty of water is to add wnter to all
the silage as It is being placed, then
throw generous 'quantities along the
edges at Intervals. If the excess of
water is used, it will he absorbed hy
the dry earth and leave the silage
Just right.
This Pit Saves Manure
No manure goes to waste on the C.
E. James farm, Platt county, Illinois.
Years ngo Mr. James concreted his
ham lots nnd an open shod tlint Is
used as shelier far young slock. In
one earner of tlie lot toward which
the remainder of tlie yards sloped he
built a basin 8 Inches deep with slop-
ing sides ns a manure pit. This saves
nil liquids as well ns solids. Mr. Janies
believes the liquid manure may often
contain fertility element* that are Just
as Important ns tlie solids. The yards
mny be cleaned by taking a team and
scraper anil pulling tlie manure into
the pit.—Capper's Farmer.
Bees Sold in Packages
“Packages” of live nnd very active
bees are being sold for use by or-
chadists, sometimes being shipped long
distances by express or moll, accord-
ing to tlie Deportment of Agriculture.
It seems the natural supply of bees
nnd Insects is insufficient in some
places fo core for tlie necessary polli-
nation, and “packaged” bees hove
been developed for this purpose. Rees
are placed in smnll boxes hy bee-
keepers nnd the orehnrdlst has only
to set the package In the orchard and
pull the cork from the box. The Iwen
do the rest.
Farmers Like Bot Control
Because farmers In tills community
co-operated with the McLean county
farm bureau and the University of
Illinois In treating all the horses In
,he district last winter, Glenn Thomas
reported recently that the nose and
throat flies hnd been so reduced In
number that It was necessary to use
the guards against the files only a
few dn.vs Inst summer.
Farmers who used the treatment
last winter report equally good re-
sults.—Prairie Farmer.

I. Paul Appeal* to Caesar (25:1 -12)
In order to appreciate this action
on the part of I'aul It Is well to get a
synthetic grasp of the experiences
which forced him to make tills appeal.
I. Ills trial before Felix (Acts 24)
The officials of the Sanhedrin were
represented by Tertullus. a Roman
barrister lie brought . n fourfold
charge agnlnst I'aul:
a. A pestilent fellow (V. 8).
h. An Inciter of rebellion (v. B).
e. The ringleader of a sect (v. fi).
d. A profaner of the temple (v (1)
To this charge I’aul replied In a clear
and dignified manner, setting forth the
facts of his life, nnd demanded that
Ills adversaries bring proof of their
accusation. Felix was greatly moved
by Paul's testimony concerning Christ,
hut postponed decision, expecting to
receive a bribe from Paul.
Trial before Festus (28:1-12)
Festus was tlie successor of Felix.
Two years had elapsed, hut the Jew-
ish hatred had not abated. Paul's foes
In Jerusalem sought to have him
brought there for trial, intending to lie
In wait nnd kill him on the way. Fes
tus. willing to please the Jews, pur
posed to send him to Jerusalem for
trial. For this Paul rebuked him. de
daring that he very well knew that he
was Innocent. Seeing that It wns Im-
possible to get Justice at the hands of
Festus. he mnde use of his right ns n
Itomnn citizen nnd appealed to Caesar
Festus wns taken by surprise and
found himself in an embarrassing pn
sition. ns he wns unable to explain to
Caesar as to why nn innocent man
should go to Borne for trial.
3. Trial before Agrlppa (28:13
26:32). This was occasioned by the
visit to Festus of Agrlppa and Ber
nice. Upon their arrival, Festus told
them of his perplexity. Therefore,
they expressed n desire to hear Paul.
Paul gladly mnde his defense before
them and appealed to them to accept
Christ.
II. Paul’s Journey to Rome (27:1 -44)
1. The ship (v. 6). It was In a ves
sel of Alexandria sailing from Myra
to Italy.
2. The company (vv. 2. 37). Two
of Paul’s friends. Aristarchus nnd
Luke, were permitted to go with him.
Besides these three there were 273
In the ship.
8. The storm (w. 14-20). The ship
mnde little headway on account of un
favorable winds. Paul advised thni
they winter In Fair Hnven (vv. 0-12)
hut his advice was unheeded. In
verses 14 to 20 we hnve a most graphic
description of the storm. Tempestuous
winds ns well ns soft breezes await
God’s faithful ones.
4. Paul's serene faith (vv 21-26)
God Is as near to his faithful ones on
n storm* sen ns In the quietude of
the home. Pnnl wns not only enltn.
hut hade the people he of good rheer
(v 22). lie promised them snfot.v
though the ship would go to pieces
ft The ship's erew safe (vv 27-44)
All turned nut ns God hail promised.
III. Paul's Ministry In Rome (Acts
28:18-31)
1. Welcomed hy the brethren (v
18). Thev met him at the Appll
forum, n distance of about forty miles
from Rome. Tills was the first time
he wns thus welcomed
2. Pntil's lenient treatment (v. 16)
Ho was allowed to hire 'n house nnd
live apart, being guarded by a soldier
3 Conference with the leading
Jews (vv. 17-22). He allowed himself
only iliree days to rest. His object
wns to have a fair understanding with
tlie Jews. Me explained the reason
for Ills being there. The result was
that the Jews took neulrnl ground hut
expressed a desire to hoar whnt Paul
could say In defense of a sect which
was evil spoken against.
4. Paul expounding ihe kingdom of
r.od and nersundlng concerning Jesus
(vv. 2.1-fil). He pointed out a real
kingdom, the Messianic Kingdom,
with the historic Jesus ns the King.
Tlie kingdom to Paul meant a definite
reign of a definite person, not merely
an Improved state of society. This he
showed from the Scriptures. He went
through the Old Testament, carefully
showing the kingdom teaching to be In
harmony wltn the law and the
prophets.
Personal Consecration
There Is also need of a clear under-
standing of what consecration means.
It Is not an Indulgence In pious yearn-
ings nnd smug phrases. It Is the will
Ingness to face facts squarely, to deny
one's self In behalf of others, to give,
to work with one's heart nnd soul
thnt God’s kingdom mny come upon
earth.
Pleasure* Not Lasting
The pieasurea of sin are but for a
season, but the punishment of unpar-
doned sin Is everlasting.
Sweeping Indictment
It Is not true thnt ♦lie young peo-
ple today are thinking for them-
selves. Young people don't think;
they haven't had experience enough
to think. In the past, young people
permitted their parents to think for
them In vital mntters. Today many
young people neither think for them
selves nor allow anybody else to
think for them.—Soul item Agricul-
turist.

Bolshevik Morals
Sinclair Lewis laid down a book in
defense of Bolshevik morals.
“Bolshevik morals may be all
right,” lie said, “but they seem top-
sy-turvey to me. They remind me of
a story.
“A married man down In Balm
Beach tried to kiss a pretty girl
He’d often kissed her before, but tills
time she pushed him away.
“‘How dare you try to kiss me, you
unfaithful brute!’ she snarled. ‘Only
this afternoon I saw you kissing your
own wife. And I heard you tell her
besides that she was all the world to
you.’
“‘Yes,’ said the man, ‘what of it?
There are two worlds, darling. Wife
is tlie old world, and you are the
new.’ ”
A genius is a man who can induce
some other to paddle his canoe for
him.
Beware of tlie man who finds it
necessary to boast of his honesty.
