HOLLYSUPPLY VERY LIMITED Of all the evergreens available for decoration at Christmas time, .the holly is the most beautiful and the most popular. When we purchase holly to beautify our homes 1 am a fluid' we do not realize how very limited the supply has become. This situation ha* been brought about by the extravagant cutting and using of it during the holiday seiftton. Every true lowi of - nature knows the seriousness of this condition and won ders how long the holly will be übltv to hold out before its extermination. It is the duty of everybody, every where, to join in quick action to save . the holly. - -- How lovely it would be to have a living Christmas tree! If you do dot have an evergreen in your yard, plant one now, so the custom of using the living Christmas tree can be institut ed. The tree lighted each night on the lawn would m an pleasure to many and not the gratification of a few. This suggestion of the living tree should apply io other evergreens also. Never cut down an evergreen, unless by doing so, you give another a chffncF~ta grow - and nfntnre, "We should like to know that the ever greens are being conserved, so that future generations may have them and enjoy them.

It is not a patriotic act for a taxpayer to postpone the payment of his taxes when it is possible to pay. The sheriff's salary is very small, and it will be a great favor to him if the taxpayer of this county will pay promptly, so as to enable the sheriff to com plete the collection at the lowest poasible cost. People in townships in which there aft banks, may pay there. Landlords are asked to assist in the collec tion of the taxes of their respective tenants. A. \ A. L.
