SANTA WEARS A WISHING CAP.
Christmas Entertainment in Christ
Church Parish Hall.

The children Of Christ P. F. Church
Sunday school of East Washington were
entertained at parish hall yesterday after
noon with an excellent musical program
consisting of Christmas carols and visit
from Santa Claus. Santa Claus brought
with him this year a wonderful, wishing
cap and by it's aid he was able to pro-
duce from the thin air q variety Of things
such as live carrier pigeons, Teddy bears.
flying machines, sad-eyed animal
named MAUD fruit, ice cream, cold and
hot. and. in fact. everything one could
wish for. This delighted the mystif1ed
juveniles, but when Santa announced that
he had secured the wishing ca p at the
sacrifice of the boxes of candy that the
children expected to get there were many
long faces. Gloom and upstarting tears
of disappointment, however, were speedily
dispelled when the jolly old fellow hit
upon happy eXpedient. Once more he
brought the wonderful powers of the
wishing cap into use and wished he had
the boxes of candy back again.
The audience broke into applause when
at this moment two large Teddy bears
appeared on the stage dragging a large
chariot filled with gifts for the happy
children.
The entertainment was in charge of
committee composed of Misses Smonds,
Johns and Wood. Mrs. Leishorn. Mrs.
Hendricks and Messrs. Berry, Roberts
and Sousa.

Newspapers in Recent Tim

Talcott Williams in his paper on THE
Newspaper of the Last Thirty Years as
Historical MATERIAL said in substance
The daily newspaper of the past thirty
years, considered as historical material
is less valuable in its record of the formal
acts, events and measures of society and
more valuable than ever in recording the
public influences and environment which
create these acts. Debates. laws. off,
cial reports. decisions investigations
elections, primaries and much else of this
character were given relatively more
fully in papers before 1880 than since
Public printing on great scale the Of
fetal record OF elections and prima ries
and a public demanding news about itself
instead of about its servants. has cut all
this down. For iron, the historian will
go to the Iron Age For railroad acct
dents before 1880 he has no record but
the newspaper. For accidents since he
will turn to technical journals and official
reports. So strikes are in the newspaper
and court decisions before 1878. Since
their fullest record is in labor Journals
state and federal labor reports, investiga-
tons and court decisions.
While giving less space and less exclu-
stNe record for these and their like, the
newspaper Is better record than ever
before of the antecedent conditions which
decide elections and cause laws

SITS, Baltimore, Md. have just com
pleted the installation of the largest
chick food and poultry foods manu-
featuring plant in Maryland. The firm
started the manufacture of these foods
in very small way. with the foundation
idea that if only the best material was
used and the foods were made uniformity
and carefully, heavy demand would
spring up for them. The judgement
was correct, for from time to time the
firm has been compelled to increase its
manufacturing capacity and recently
has felt justified in enlarging its facili-
ties for the making of the foods more
than ten times the original capacity.
The firm is now prepared to supply the
trade with 100000 bushels of poultry
foods a year. and as 1t has been behind
in its orders continuously for the past
six months, il feels confident that the
supply will be entirely taken. The
Foods are called Square Deal Chick

learned that package OF at least 500

tents OF the pouch. which carried IN
addition an unusually large number of
letters and packages containing money
and other valuables. The amount can
only be conjectured. but II may reach
total Of 100000.
The pouch was in transit from Los
Angeles to New York. and the postal
inspectors. who have had the case in
charge for forty-eight hours. refuse
any explanation OF the manner IN
which IL became lost TO sight. That q
