There Was No Paved Highway For That First Christmas Trip There was no macadam highway | leading from Nazareth to Bethle hem when Mary and Joseph under took their memorable. Journey nearly 2,000 years ago. As far as routes were concerned, there were three, the western route led along the sea-coast and through the. plain of Sharon. This route was unpopular with pious folk Uk? Mary and Joseph who shunned the heathen cities, rowdy travelers, etc., as much as possi ble. The shortest route, via the fruit ful plains of Esdraelo* Into the mountains of Samani and through Shechem and Bethel, was not very popular either. The road was tol erable, but steep; however, ths Jews had little use for the Samari tans, and vice versa. ? The Jordan route, which de- ' sccnded into the Jordan valley and followed the river's east bank around Jeriche, was favored by the majority of Galilean travelers who for one reason or another (the Passover, etc.) went down to Jer usalem at regular Intervals and ; knew their way around as well as \ suburbanites know their way .tround modern metropolitan areas. If the Jordan route was a little round-about, it was fairly level ? ?nd steeped In Jewish history, from the shadow at Jiwnt Tabor where Sauf in desperation lought ! his 'witcb' df Endor, to the tomb a | Currier and Ives Cardi Commercial production of Christmas cards In the United States began about 1839 with the founding and developing of the partnership of Carrier and Ires la New York.

Winter scenes are next In popularity, some of i hem dating back to the Part tans W New England, the Ger man forests whence St. Nicho las emerged, and even to the Druids <( pre-Christian Eng little before Bethlehem where the first Joseph bjried his beloved Rachel. It is fairly certain that Mary and Joseph did not choose the western route when they planned their very special Journey. Whether they chose to go by way of Sheehem and Bethel, or around the walled city of Jericho may never be de termined definitely. But, the distance ? nearly 100 miles? was, in any case, unrelent ing and conquered only by per sistent plodding. And when Mary was too tired to go another step. Joseph took the packs upon his own shoulders so that she might ride <he little J o n k e y which trudged faithfully at his side. Verily indeed, did Mary apprecl< ate the shelter of the stable that night? no one could . have been more grateful or mpre happy than Vary. And she brought forth ber first-born son, and laid him in a manger. BETTER THAN Oil PAINT* II m m WWW SYNTHETIC KUMEK JINSATION Owltk oi ? wlnhl 1 Cool ONLY covortl Dry In 70 mln. No Kiimv fvM. o?

Department of Agri culture Is now developing new strains of 'burley tobacco that are almost immune to wildfire di sease. according to tobacco spe cialists at State College. Wildfire Is one of the more ser ious diseases of the crop. Burley, grown in Western North Carolina and five other states, is used principally in the manufacture of blended cigarettes. Dr. E. E. Clayton, plant scien tist of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, said recently that breeders will now be able to de velop high-quality, wildfire-re sistant varieties, of all major to bacco types. The first of these, he added, is expected to be a vailable within the next two or three years. The Wildfire resistance in the new lines comes from the wild species, Nicotlana longiflora. A systematic study of several hun dred wild species of Nicotlana during the past 15 years has shown that many of them are immune to one or another seri ous disease of cultivated tobac co. But differences in genetic make-up have been a barrier to successful interspecific crosses. Most of the wild species, and all of the disease-resistant ones, are small, strong smelling plants, generally undesirable in appea- > ranee. The new wildfire-resistant bur-' ley lines appear to be a little more vigorous In growth than non-resistant lines. More impor tant, they have a lower nicotine content. Nicotine in present-day burley runs higher than smokers like. > ; Try Herald Classified They Bring Basalts LAST-MINUTE SANTAS TO BUY GLORIOUS CHRISTMAS GIFTS )ellinger's Pen ?
