| Okiahoma lasses still stand beneath
the mistletoe at Christmas time, but
the state exports less of the famons
| shrub than in days of yore. It is be
coming extinet with the clearing of
woodlands where it thrives.
OKLAHOMA CITYj Okla., ¢AP)—
iMistletce will not find its way to
eastern and northern Cihristmas mavk
ets this year in the guantitics in
which it once was shipped {rom
Oklahoma.
The mistletoe is disappearing from
the state, and its haunt among native
| timper is being desiroyed as farmers
clear their wooded land for agrical
’ tural purposes.
. Pioneers a third of a century azo
’earned a small income from sale of
‘mistletoe, and the plant was chosen
as the state flower, the choice le
ceiving legislative confirmation.
Rooted not in the earth, but in the
branches of growing trees, mistletoe
produces each year a busy growth of
green leaves and pearly pberries. Popl
- termed a parasite, it is so only
in part, according to George Philips,
state forester. The Oklahoma f;pecies‘
obtains its moisturue and posishly
some food from the host tree, nuat
manufacturers most of its own food
by means of chlorophylly contired in
its green leaves and stems. It damages
its host, however, by starving the
branch on which it grows.
The mistietoe is found upon many
species of hardwoods from New Jer
sey southwestward to the aoulf of i
Mexico. Its sticky berries adhere to |
the feet of birds, and in this way 1t
is spread from tree to tree. }

Should This Be So?
Over one half the subscribers to the Dispatch who reside in Cor
dele have failed to renew their subscription thus far during the cam
paign. Should this be s 0? No, it should not be so for the reason that
the greater percentage of that one half either owe for the pape
already or their subscription expires this month. Perhaps they are
under the impression that the price will be cut before the Campaign
closes. Every subscriber can rest assured that no price cut will be
made, now or any other time during the campaign or afterwards. As
a matter of fact the price by mail will again be $5.00 at the close of
the campaign. Delay no longer in remitting your subseription money
to one of the candidates before tomorrow night. The subscription
price will never be lowered and never again during the campaign will
a subscription count as many votes for your favorite as it will this
wee!s. Those who are still in arears after the campaign is over wil);
be dropped from the list. This is positive. Pay now and aid somne
body to win—a friend, if you have one in the Campaign.

INSTRONG APPEAL
] FOR WORLD PEACE
NEW YORK, Dec. 9—(AP)—A pro
posal for the limitation of arms,
whether on sea, on land or in the
’air. is out of the question so long as
the machine for the settlemexnt of in
,tematirmal "(ljft'erences is wander
ing. Senator Walter F, Geosge. Dome
‘ocrat, Georgia, told the national con
vention of the assgociation of !fie
insurance presidents today.
Declaring that the simple tests of
statesmanship is to free the world
from the fear and menace of war,
Senator George said, that immunity
from the results of major conflicts
in arms cannot be secured by the
means and policies so long relied
upon by nations.
“The principle stands before us
as a nation,” ha said, “whether
upon the invitation of France oni
other people we are to renoun('al
war as an instrument of public pol |
icles and to accept the definition of
agressor so that a nation which
having agreed to submit its differ
ences to conciliations, arbil.rnl,iuns.‘
meditations, or judicial process, |
shall not begin hostilities without |
having complied with its treaty oh\;
ligations, | except in self d(er‘(ens‘-i
against actual atiack. Ultimately
we must be willing to withdraw the |
right of prosecution from our own
citizens in furnishing means, mu
nitions and supplies to an agres
sive nation.” ‘
