Christmas tree for this season.
They switched ' on the lights
Wednesday night ■ and their

Many others w'H follow this

before Cbrfatmas eve Ifvfng
trees will blsze 1 in the yule

Athena Is famous for Its
beautiful shrubbery and no
nrettler settings could be

. trees anywhere than tho yards
here offer. Every section of
the city has Its shrubs and
trees suited for the occasion
and the expense of lighting 'a
small with most-of the equ'p-
ment already on .hand In moat
homes. There should be at
least one hundred outdoor
trees lighted by Christmas
eve and it this many arc

If you have a tree around
your bouse that would be '
pretty with Christmas lights
on It, arrange now to decorate
It because It spams that your

if It'doesn’t 'bare a living
