Xmas Is Simple Term, The "X" Being An Abbreviation For Christ And Originated From Greek Letter. STATE PROPERTY VALUED Towson Normal School Estimated In List Of Commonwealth's Holdings. The State House, land, building and equipment at Annapolis is entered in the property account instituted and maintained by William S. Gordy, Jr., State Comptroller, at $1,235,983. The land is valued at $200,000, the building at $930,000 and the equipment at $105,983. Total value of the State's property as listed in the account kept by the Comptroller is in round figures $87,-000,000. Most of this sum is accounted for by roads and equipment which represent roughly $67,000,-000. The Governor's Mansion at Annapolis is carried at $218,600— $100,000 for the land, $88,600 for the building and $30,000 for the equipment. Court of Appeals Building, also at Annapolis, is put down at $575,000 —$85,000 for the land, $360,000 for the building and $130,000 for the equipment. An amount in excess of $1,500,-000 is accounted for by the Springfield State Hospital and also by the Spring Grove State Hospital, each of which is an institution for the insane and feeble-minded, ures are: Springfield— Land.............$ (Continued from Page 1) er or not a person desires to use it. "X" is an abbreviation for "Christ" originating from the Greek letter X (Ch), the beginning of the name "Christos" (the anointed). The use of the word "Xmas" is thus very plain. It is merely a matter of preference. The evergreen tree—cedar or pine or spruce or fir—has been the symbol of Christ ever since, as the early stories tell, Boniface cut down the god tree of oak, to the utter consternation of the Teuton tribe that he was not struck dead, and supplanted it by a towering evergreen, as the memorial of everlastingness. This was at the Christmas season, and the green tree became the tree of Christmas. Holly is world-wide. Growing in nearly every country, there are more than one hundred and fifty varieties, as it accustoms itself to various climates. Perhaps because of its red berries is the answer to why it is associated with Christmas, for bright color in nature during the snow months is rare. A beautiful legend —one of the pleasant folk tales to hold in memory—is that of the robin and the holly. The old story tells that the crown of thorns that Christ wore on the cross was made from a holly bush, and a robin, then a bird of White breast, flew to the cross and plucked at the leaves to loosen the crown. But a sharp thorn from a leaf pierced its breast, and its life-blood stained its breast crimson. Since then the robin has worn a red breast. The singing of Christmas carols is older than the oldest carol we have, for in the earliest celebrations carols were sung before the music was committed to paper. But the custom of singing carols about the streets came from a desire to carry the music to the sick and others unable to go to the celebrations. Hence the custom of singing on Christmas Eve about the streets is very old. During the first half of the nineteenth century there was a custom of giving "Christmas pieces." The first Christmas cards, as we have them today, were printed in London in 1846 by Joseph Cundall, but not until the days of our Civil War did the custom of sending sentiment cards at Christmas become popular. From then until now we see the great extent to which the card is used. It is a pleasant bearer of greetings and good wishes, against which few hearts can remain unmoved. These are but chips that float on the stream, but they bear evidence of the current. The true significance of Christmas has its origin in the thoughts of remembrance of the One who came to bring "Peace on earth, good will toward men." JEFFERSONIAN CELEBRATES ITS FOURTEENTH BIRTHDAY WITH THIS ISSUE. H Hence We're Entitled To A Pair Of Long Trousers—Passing Of Our Fifteenth Milestone WTill Be Observed In New Plant. (Continued from Page 1) is today, and it is regarded by business men as one of the best advertising mediums and it is not likely that there is another rural newspaper published that carries the commercial advertising that The Jeffer-sonian does. We get the news no matter what the cost or the trouble—as an illustration, when the celebrated Fe-deli murder case was tried at Tow-son some weeks ago, where the prisoner was a woman charged with the murder of her husband, the Jury did not render its verdict until 12.45 on Saturday morning, The Jeffersonian carried a big head-line announcing the Jury's decision, and mailed in time so as to reach every post office in the County to be delivered as usual to subscribers. This is The Jef-fersonian's policy in giving the people the news of general importance in every case. Editorially, we never take a neutral position—we're on one side or the other, of every question in which the people are or may be interested. The greater majority of rural newspapers have the same Editor—his name is "Scissors", and we doubt if there is another published, producing more original editorial material than The Jeffersonian. 'Tis no wonder our people regard it as an encyclopedia of information on all matters connected with the official conduct of the Circuit Court, The Orphans' Court, The County Commissioners, The Clerk's Office, the State's Attor-( ney's Office, Sheriff's Office, Register of Wills Office and the- Roads and Sanitary Departments. But outside of it being a purveyor of news—a moulder of public opinion and an advertising medium, The Jeffersonian appeals especially to the family circle. Its Picture and Magazine Section and its Colored Comic Supplement are so attractive to both young and old that they complete its make-up. There is just one thing needed and that is more commodious quarters, and we are glad to say that when we celebrate our 15th birthday, we will be in our own building, to be erected especially for our purposes, plans of which have been accepted and upon which work will begin shortly. All of us connected with The Jeffersonian, from the Presided to the printer's "devil" are proud of the progress made and appreciate the complimentary expressions that come from readers and advertisers. therefore some of you will not get all you asked for. Let us explain. Once there was a little boy about 8 or 9 years old who wanted a rifle more than anything else, and he wrote to Santa Claus about it, but while he got other nice things the rifle did not Come. He was very much disappointed and had a big cry about it, but he had an uncle who was very, sorry for him and who said if Santa Claus didn't bring him a rifle, "I will." So he bought him one. Of course, the little boy was very happy, but two days later he accidentally shot one of his dearest little friends in one of his eyes and destroyed the sight. Just think how unhappy that made this little boy with the rifle. He never touched it again. j Now don't _you think Santa Claus was right? He knew that the little; fellow was too young to use a rifle and he Avas afraid of just what did happen. Then there was a very sweet and very good little girl 8 years old who wanted a bicycle, and she wrote a sweet little letter for it, but it did not come, and she had a good cry and was bitterly disappointed, but she had a big brother who pitied her and bought her one, and in less than a month, while riding on the road she was struck by an automobile and spent several weeks in the hospital with a broken leg, and walked around for months on crutches. Now Santa Claus was afraid that this very accident would happen and that was why he did not bring it to her. Now, wasn't Santa Claus right again? Now if your little baby brother or sister wanted to play with a sharp knife or razor would you give it to them? Of course you would not; not because you didn't love them or because you wanted to disappoint them, but because you knew they would likely injure themselves, and you love them too much for that. Nov/ children, that is the very reason Santa Claus does not bring you all you ask for—he is afraid v hat you ask for might not be for your good. So if you do not get all you ask for, don't cry over it or be disappointed, for Santa Claus knows best, and when you get a little older you will realize it too. Be happy and thankful for what you do receive, and after awhile when you get older it is quite possible that if you ask for the things you do not get this Christmas you will get them, and better than you expected. Let Santa Claus use his judgment, for he is always right. SPECIAL MOTOR DEPUTIES WILL CARRY NEW INSIGNIA. SANTA'S TASK OVER—FINISH-IN GTOUCHES PUT ON COMMUNITY XMAS TREE AND REALISTIC GARDEN.

"Santa may not be familiar with the regulations prohibiting the cutting down of these trees for Christmas celebrations," Mr. Siems said, "so we are going to have special watchmen on duty." A finer collection of cedars and pines is not to be found in this part of the country, according to Mr. Siems. Some were (imuorted, and the Water Board has been advised by the Bureau of Forestry, United States Department of Interior, to guard them against vandals and Christmas-tree hunters.

The deputies' seals will be displayed on the radiator of the car, being affixed thereto through the cores of the radiator. With each seal, Colonel Baughman is issuing at metal disk which may be used to cover the seal when some one other than the deputy is operating it and the deputy is not present. It is felt that through aking this step to make the deputies' cars plainy and easily identified the State Motor Vehicle Department has gone a long way toward meeting the so often raised complaint against alleged spying on motorists by officials not in uniform. Some time ago The Jeffersonian called attention to this condition, and it is glad the Commisioner of Motor Vehicles intends to remendy same. JUST A WORD TO THE KIDDIES ABOUT SANTA CLAUS' COMING.
