SANTA CLAUS SENT 800 CAR
LOADS OF TOYS TO THE U. S

Now that the Christmas agony is
draw a long breath, even If lot of us
can't draw check without being ar
rested for overdrawing our account In
the bank, it is a good time to look
around a little and see what that dear
old saint Santa emphasis on the dear,
please) has done to US.
BY looking on the map Of the world
we discover in the north central part
of Europe a spot named Germany, but
the real name OF this country is Toy
land. 1t is Santa Clauses particular
country and headquarters. and his cap
ital city Is situated at Sonneberg
(Sun Mountain), town in the duchy
of Meiningen, on the edge of the great
Thuringian forest Almost the entire
population OF this city of $4,000 people
Is in the employ Of Santa Claus. Ev-
cry house is a workshop for Santa.
Germany last year exported toys to
the value of s20.ooO.0OO. From the
raids made on the shops by old Kris
Kringle this year the figures are ex-
pected to reach between $24.000,O00
and 25,0OO,OOO.
Santa Claus is more generous to his
little friends in the United States than
to the children in any European coun-
try. Last year he shipped 307 car
loads of toys from Sonneberg and Nu-
remberg to New York. Philadelphia.
Boston. Baltimore, Galveston and San
Francisco. from which cities he dis
tributed them to American boys and
girls all over this broad country. That
some complain to him about being for
gotten seems to be the case. for this
year he shipped 320 carloads to Amer
lea. It took this year considerably
more than one-third Of the total output
Of Santa's workshops for the entire
world to supply the United States
alone. Americas toy bill for the year
1913 will approximate $S.000.OO0.

CURRENCY BILL PASSED AND
SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT

President Wilson signed the curren-
cy bill Tuesday night at 6 o'clock in
the White House in the presence of
the house and senate leaders. The
house passed the conference measure
on the night of the 22d by vote of
29S to 60, and the senate passed the
bill the following day by a vote of
45 to 25.
The bill provides that national
banks may apply to the treasurer of
the United States and have their 2
per cent bonds retired, being sold at
par with accrued interest. The treas
urer is to prepare a list of such appli-
cations for the federal reserve board.
The latter may compel regional re-
serve banks to purchase annually a
total of not more than $25,000.O00 of
these bonds. The purchase money will
go to the treasurer, who will pay it to
sellers of bonds, first deducting
enough to cover the value of the bank
notes outstanding. Regional banks
purchasing the bonds will be permit
ted to take out new currency or may
secure one-year gold certificates of the
United States for half the value of the
bonds and per cent 80 year bonds for
the balance.
About the only opposition of Demo
Gratis in the senate to the measure as
amended by the house was the fact
that the conferees eliminated from the
bill the provision to guarantee bank
deposits. The house leaders have
promised to submit separate bill la
ter embodying this provision.

The Colonial has always advertised
it's admission fee as unchanable-5 and

the management has ventured to a1'
vance the prices to 10 and 20 cents,
feeling that its patrons will be willing
to share with it the enormous expense
which it has incurred in procuring for
their entertainment this extraordinary

THE COMING YEAR.

The coming year, 1914, has much in
prospective for this county and com
munity.
One of the big things promised is a
road into the Paradox radium fields,
making Delta its outlet and supply
point.
Another is the prospecting for oil
and gas in our field, plans for which
are already under way, to begin with
early spring. These plans are backed
by eastern men interested in such pro-
duction, experienced in the work, ana
who have already opened up several
different oil and gas fields to com
mercial production.
What many of us have been waiting
for for number of years-the compile
ton of the Uncompahgre reclamation
project to a point where water could
be supplied to large additional tracts
of land, will be in store for us. The
bitches ae now being enlarged and
completed to supply additional water
to Peach valley, Ash and California
mesa lands tributary to Delta, and
thousands of additional acres can be
cultivated.

bumper crops practically assured by
the big early-winter snowfall, our peo-

Cost Of eunnison Tunnel Water.

Secretary Tobin of the Water Users
association gave out the information
at the meeting of tho water users on
"Wednesday that the cost Of the I'm.
compahgre valley project up to the
present time is $37 per acre, says
the Montrose Enterprise. The allot.
ments made, whicr crc expected 70
be sufficient to complete the project
outside Of the Taylor park reservoir
feature, will bring the cost up to $42
an acre. Mr.. Tobin expressed as his
firm conviction that the completion
of the Taylor park reservoir. which
would mean the ultimate completion
sf the project as first planned. would
not bring the total cost up to more
than $50 per acre.
If this should turn out to be the
ease. and Brother Tobin seldom makes
a statement until he is able to back
it up. the people of the Uncompahgre
valley can boast the cheapest and
best irrigation project. all things con-
sidered. to be found In the country.
Another thought dropped by Mr.. To-
bin at the meeting Wdsesday was to
the effect that from what he could
gather from tie utterances of Secrs-
tary Lane all irrigable land subscribed
to the reclamation projects would be
charged their pro rata charges regard
less as to whether they are cultivated
or not. This is for the purpose of
making the speculator stand his share
of the cost and is intended to stimu-
late the cultivation of the land.

A woman who has lived abroad for
many years. where they make cup

cut until 1t Is to be used. Have q
small sharp knife on the table and cut
each slice as desired, never cutting .

or even o few minutes.
A good tid-bit for the tea table can
be made with triscuit and marmalade.
