Use to make of any such present is in
writing "Thank you notes to the per.
sons who have sent you Christmas

Don't let your mother or big sister

run. II you make IT work It will he
your own fault. Commence thinking
beforehand what you want to say In
those neatly written ":rhank You"
notes. If you have. something all
thought out half the work is already

One Of the first things you'd think Of
IL yon were speaking directly ito the
giyer would be just what the present
was. You wouldn't say to Cousin
Kate, for instance Thank you for
your present:' You would be pretty
sure to say Just what the gift WAS.
This is one of the big things to relnem'
Der when you write your "Thank yOn"
notes. Mention the presentsin each
case.
This gives a real personal touch &c
your note and proves that you didn't
get your, presents mixed up. If you
are one OF the fortunate children who
get ever so many presents he sure 10
keep track of the names OF the givcrs
II there is a card attached don't take
It off until you are sure you will re-

little practice you will learn just how

i pray that Santa Claus somehow
Viii find tile time to journey there.
/ pray no little child will wake
At morn to find upon his cot
An empty stocking and TO weep
Because old Santa Claus forgot
For Santa Claus is not nlone
The patron saint Of. rich, I'm sure.
BIT he Is loved as dearly by
The little children OF the poor.
And SO pray that he may find
The poorest urchln IN the land
And that no little trusting child
May wake TO weep and understand.

ARlZoNA's NEW LAND LAW
Tends to complcate Negotiations Be-
tween United States and Japan
Affects Mexico.

Washington.-Ariz new alien
land law is regarded here as seriously
complicating the negotiations with
Japan because the act does not contain
the same direct bar against the Japan
csc as the California act. 1t is ex-
pected, however, that because of its
adverse effect uron Mexican landown-
ers in Arizona a protest will be forth
coming from the Mexican government,
even in view of the rather irregular
status of the diplomatic relations be-
tween America and Mexico.
With both the American and Jap
anese governments waiting on the final
action of Governor Johnson, the pos
sibi1ity of postponing the operation of
the proposed California bill by invok-
ing the referendum is again being dis
cussed in official circles. The over
whelming majority for the Webb bill
in both branches of the California leg
islature makes some Californians in
Washington doubtful if the necessary
10000 signatures for a referendum
could be secured.
