She couldn't wait any longer. That is why the executive family was disturbed at an un- usual hour today, and forced by the stern command of little Josephine to appear about the Christmas tree soon after dawn. The president, however, did not mind it a bit. Ellen McAdoo, granddaugh- ter of the president, had her own tree at the McAdoo home, but it was not long before she decided to join her granddaddy and Josephine at the White House. It was a big day for the youngsters. | LASSEN BUSY ‘AGAIN REDDING visitors with the active eru dof from Dee, 25.—Christ Jing were treat sight of Mount I toda A commenced | ion at moke the erater at daybreak uout the morning THE ONLY PAPER IN SEATTLE THAT DARES TO _PRINT | ‘BARBER |S KILLED IN HIS SHOP tn net ernnnnnnnnn nnn LAST EDITION Nonparti don’t come thru in the next three days, you may as well kiss her good bye—for a long, long time DEC 25, 1916 ONE ¢ ‘CENT.
