ererything to Germany In order to
re-establish her, because our trade
with Germany is of paramount im
portance.
"France is mistaken there, be
cause her trade with Germany Is of
greater Importance to her than hers
is to us. At the same time, by care
less handling of this problem Ger
many is being forced into bank
ruptcy or possibly revolution. She
will then be the cancer spot of Eu

finitely more perilous to France."
EDITORS POOR EVERYWHERE
A visitor to a small country town
lost his dog. an animal which he
prizrd very much. Rushing to the
office of the local newspaper, he
handed in an advertisement offering
five shillings reward for the return
of the dog.
Half an hour later he thought he
would add to this advertlsemeut the
words: "No questions asked." So he
hurried off to the office again. When
he got there the place was empty
save for a small boy who looked
very sulky.
"Where's the staff?" asked the
tourist, glancing around the desert
ed room.
"Out looking for your dog!" was
the retort.—London Tit-Bits.
PI T TO SLEEP
WITH THE RLCES
Prof. Redard. of Geneva, Switzer
land. uses a blue light to produce
anaesthesia. The light from a 16
candle-power electric lamp, furnish
ed with a blue bulb, Is concentrate!
on the patient'^ eyes. The lamp and
the patient's face are enveloped in
a blue veil to shut off extraneous
light. It is said that insensibility is
produced within two or three min
utt*s by this method.
"AI'TOMOBILE FOOT"
LATEST AFFLICTION
Kver hear of "automobile foot?"
No: well. Dr. Charles Cross, of San
Kranc.sco. told the Chicago conven
tion of therapeutists all about It
This brand-new affliction, he says,
is caused by the driver holding the
foot for prolonged periods on the ac
celerator pedal. The leion thus
formed is usually In the second toe
The motorist may feel distressed
long before he knows what is the
matter with him. Sensations of pain
dart across the ball of the foot, al
ternately increas.ng and decreasing.
TURKS LOOK OCT
FOR MOSUL INTERESTS
Athens, Dec. 30.—The Turks are
sending reinforcements in the direc
tion of the rich Mosul oil fields. This
district is the bone of contention In
the Lausanne conference. A divi
sion of six thousand Turkish troops
has already left Van for Mosul.
"It rarely happens that a news

Additional Society
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Webster, Mr. |
and Mrs. C. W. Ask and Mr. and j
Mrs. H. D. Clark were hosts and i
hostesses to a party of dinner and
evening guests at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. F. Webster, on Christmas
day. At Ave o'clock the guests sat
down to a beautifully appointed ta
ble, the center piece being a basket
of exquisite red roses and maiden
hair ferns. This with the candles
which lighted the table through
glowing shades gave a spirit of warm
Christmas cheer to the occasion. This1
spirit was further strengthened by
the viands which appeared in their
appointed time on the board, chlef
est among them being a mammoth
turkey, roasted to just the right de
gree of delectable tenderness and
rich brownness. Later in the even
ing, a dazzling Christmas tree, which
all the while had stood in one cor
ner of the dining room laden with
mysterious looking packages, was
made to yield up Its treasures. St.
Nick had remembered every one
with something useful or something
beautiful or something that occa
sioned much hilarity among the
guests. Under the genial Christmas
spell, Mr. Blmore Farmer was pre
vailed upon to give his Inimitable
personation of Simple Simon, and
it is safe to say that Simon never
appeared more mirtn provoklngly
natural than he did on this occasion.
Those who took pa« tn this Christ
mas celebration were: Rev. and Mrs
Wlnterberger. Master Donald Win
lerberger, Mrs. Yeomans, Mr, Elmore
Farmer, Mr. John McLain, Ml« Ma
Granger, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Ask.
Mr. Harry Ask, Mr. and Mrs. H. D.
Clark. Miss Dorothy Clark, and Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Webster.
Skagway youngsters were treated
to the time of their lives last even
ing when Arctic Brotherhood hall
was thrown open in a general invi
tation which was extended to them
by a group of Skagway's matrons.
From the moment that the kid
dies stood voicing their exclamations
of appreciation over the fairy ap
pearance of the hall until the echo
of their three rousing cheers pro
claiming their appreciation of the
event had died away was there a si
lent or quiet moment.
The idea of entertaining the
young folk during the Holiday va
cation was a twelfth hour one, but
nevertheless, those taking hold of
the reins did so In such a firm and
masterly manner that had weeks
been expended in preparations the
affair could not have passed off more
smoothely nor with a more enjoyable
result than it did.
Assisted by several willing young
lads, the decoration committee had
stretched ropes, colored with the
seasons' colors, across the hall from
these were suspended flocks of vari
colored baloons which floated airely
about as the young people danced.
One of the features of the enter
tainment was the serpentine dance
In which all presont took part and
spon after the gay t.irong had been
generously supplied with the bril
liantly eolored ribbons of paper, the
spirals soon caused the ropes across
the hall to form rafters of a verita
ble bower of color In which mirth
and youthful happiness bubbled over.
Aside from the general good time
had in dancing and frolicking and
the delicious luncheon of cakc and
lemonade, and the jazz music, con
sisting of some several pieces, an
outstanding feature of the entertain
ment was a most charming dance by
little Jacqite McAlister, dressed
in the latest of ballet costumes, as
sisted by little Virginia Hillery. The
two little tots went through the var
ious numbers in an almost profes
sional manner.
As the orchestra finished the
Home, Sweet Home waltz, the sigh
of regret that it was "all over" was
quite audible, and to those grown
ups who were privileged to be pres-i
ent, it sounded pathetic, as It re-1
called to them the happy, good time
of the long agone.
