Queen Mary again shows her par- tiality for garden studies. There are two garden pictures painted by Edith Andrews, on her card, with the in., seription: "With all good wishes for I Happy Christmas and a Bright New Year." The King has followed his usual custom of having some scene from England's history used on his Christ- mas card. This year he has chosen a reproduction of a painting by A. D. McCormick, entitled, "Sir Francis Drake Explains His Plans To Queen Elizabeth," the original of which is in the King's possesion. The accom- panying greetings read: "Christmas Greetings and all good wishes for the coming year." The Primes Royal also has chosen a garden study. Thousands of people will receive Christmas cards from members of the British Royal Family this year. The Prince of Wales has chosen a view of old London Bridge, and the Duke of York has selected a breezy seascape illustrating an incident in naval history-the mutiny of the "Bounty," in 1787, and the setting adrift of Lieutenant Bligh and his loyal men.

Will: the Jmll'nai'h of the Christmas l1olidays most people like to decorate their homes to reflect the cheer ot the season. in days gone by the use ot Christmas greens was lavish. Yards ot laurel and ground-pine streamers and bales of berried holly were put about the larger houses. Today one must be more conservative, owing to the smaller size ot homes and because the ranks of native evergreens and berried shrubs are beginning to show the effects of wholesale cutting. One must travel unrrequented paths to find liollcy and laurel in any abundance. Restraint should be exercised when gathering greens for Christmas de coration. It one leaves at least halt a patch ot ground pine, natural increase will replace that which was taken. Laurel should rarely, it ever, be gath- ered for such temporary uses. By cut- ting it we are lessening the chances tor bloom, and surely the tlowers ot the laurel during May are more desiro able than a bouquet ot its green leaves, handsome as they may be. When cutting berries, it is no more trouble to cut branches ot a size suit- able to our needs than it is to lug awsy a great portion ot the shrub, only to discard most ot it upon reaching homo. 3,500,000 Dodge Radio Tax I-Tugland has about 3.500.000 license- tax dodging owners of radios. ac. cording to a recent estimate.

Golden Text-lf any man will came after me, let him deny him. self, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.-Luke 9'. 23. We set out on those studies in oe. tober to discover the Christian stand ards of living, and to follow these in daily life. We pause now to gather up the results of our discussions in what our topic suggests as the ideas of the true Christian. _ . In the first place we set down the importance of cultivating the Chris- tian spirit and attitude by devotional practices. Can our religious life be maintained at its best without such cultivation? Is it spasmodic or regu- lar nurture that will keep it in best condition? Note the value of a regu- lar time and a more or less regular regime in devotional exercises. Yet variety is needed, too. Rest and quiet, meditation and reflection are often needed, as well as reading and study. Then in the most intimate of all hu. man groups, the family, we saw that the Christian would o" necessity mani- fest his very best self, the Christian spirit of good will and service toward all in the group, whether as parent or as son or daughter or brother or sis- ter or employed help i.. the home, and also toward all others who came into any sort of relationship with the fam. ily on business cr social relations. Is it easier or haruer to be at one's best in the home? Is there not a tempta- tion to let familiarity breed contempt? Do not the dearest We have often get the brunt of our most unchristian be- havior? Can we not guard against that by having a sort of compact in the family circle, an ideal of happy good will and unselfishness in the life of the home? In smaller rooms the most suitable use for berried or green-leaved branches is in "planted" arrangements or in vases. To construct a planted arrangement a metal-lined basket or some other watertight container is needed. This is filled almost to its top with pebbles, sand, or earth. This fill- ing supports the branches, and when moistened tends to keep them fresh. Small pieces of tir, balsam, or hem- lock may form the body of the dis- play, with bittersweet, black alder. or barberry branches tor accent. An um usual and rather 'modern" display is possible through the use of blue spruce branches and well-berried mistletoe. This combination ot blue-gray, pale green, and white is ettective and dit- terent. After the branches and ber. ries are in place moss may be used to hide the filling, What will be 'ue ideals of the true Christian with reference to self, control. both for himself and for others? Is it a truly Christian atti- tude if one decides on sobriety for himself, but determines to do nothing to make most probable the sobriety of the nation? Has the individupl Chris- tian any obligation for his fellow" well-being? So long as we have re- strictive laws governing the use of intoxicants, whet is the Christian's duty? Should we study so as to make those restrictive measures as helpful as possible? Can we as Chrisians take any but. one attitude toward the we hope for world peace apart from a spirit of mutual understanding and good will among the nations and races of the earth? That being so, will not the Christian set himself to under. stand and appreciate (ther peoples and races, and to promote such mu- tual respect and appreciation as Will ensgre world cooperation aml peace? It these displays are given water quite often, they will remain fresh and green long after the holiday season. Each branch used in displays ot this type should be chosen for its good form and tor the number ot berries it holds. Here again, it is more economi- cal to select our material while cut- ting. thereby doing the least harm to the shrub. What are the ideals of the true Christian in business? Does it not mean that the Christian principles of good will and service will be the con- trolling motive in all his business rela- tions? The motive of gain has been 1;;on intoxieants for beverage Put" poses? Education must go hand in hard with legislation. What will be the Chlistian's ati tude toward people of other races. and all that affects our relations to them'.' Believing that God is the Father "t all men, we can think of the people at other races only as brothers. What will be the ideals of the true Christian on the matter of war and peace? Can replaced by the motive 0; service. Note that this Christian demand is just as real to the employee as to the employer. Emphasize the fact that the Christian's whole life of business is to be motivated in this way. He cannot buy exemption from these basic principles of the Christian life by making large subscriptions to re- ligior: projects. He will make such subscriptions as he is able, but he will understand that he is doing religious service in all of his work and business. In the light of this, what is the Chris- tian’s ideal with reference to the use t) money? In all these ttttttturs-with reference to the use he makes of his abilities and opportunities, his time, his money, his business, the Chris- tian's ideal is one of stewardship. Excellent stands ot alia‘fa have been obtainn' by seeding the alfalfa witl a crop of barley, probably a bushel and a peck to the acre of barley, with the quantity ot seed that you wish to air. ply. From " to 18 lbs per acre of high grade alfalfa seed should give the Crop is good stand. Excellent re- sults haw been obtained by applying two bags oi 2-12-6 fertilizer to the acre when seeding with alfalfa. This plant food gives the plant an early, vigorous start and the potash is very beneficial to the young growing crop. Results we have obtained in tests throughout the province throughout the past three years indicate that top-dressing the alfalfa with a prosphate-potash fertil- izer such as 0-12-10 or 0-12-15 " the rate ot two bags per acre the second year ot its growth is a profitable prac- tice.
