MUCH EXPECTED
OF COMING YEAR
Business to Take on New Lease
of Life in Few Weeks is
Opinion of Many, Says Brad
streets.

NEW YORK. Dec. 26.-Bradstreet' s
Review on Saturday says:
cold weather has increased de-
mand for heavy wearing apparel and
in some parts OF the country. partic-
ularly in the interior districts of the
northwest rush orders have benefited
jObbers as well as wholesale dealers.
Stocks. save perhaps in the soutr. are
light, the results Of several years OF
sparce buyius.
incidentally holiday trade except
at southern points, has moved with a
rush, but the consensus is that the
seasons buying will run under that of
last year and IL is patent that the low
er priced articles, or really useful,
rather than ornamental gifts have
received most attention. Mail order
houses report record holiday bust
ness, and on that account the parcel
been subjected to a strain.
Except for rush orders to fill al
ready low stocks that have been still
further depleted by sales resulting
from cold weather. jobbers. wholesale
dealers and manufacturers continue to
mark time pending the finishing of
inventories. However, the general
opinion is that the turn of the new
year viii witness an thrush of orders
which will cause increased employ
ment. Just now there is considerable
idleness, but IL is probable that out
side of southern centers, results in this
respect have been rather more favor
able than otherwise"

LITERACY TEST
MAY BE ADOPTED
President Said to Be Opposed
to 1t and Will Veto Measure
Should 1t Pass in House and
Senate.

WASHINGTON, Dec. rs. - Demo
cratic leaders in the senate after a
careful canvass have informed the
president that the chances are largely
in favor of the adoption of the liter
acy test in the pending immigration
bill. Sen. O'Gorman has stated to his
colleagues privately that if this test is
retained in a measure the president
will veto the bill.
Sen. ]. Hamilton Lewis, party
whip" after a conference with the
president on the subject, stated pub
licly that the executive was opposed
to this feature and gave notice that
at the proper time he would move TO
strike il from the bill.
Democratic leaders have endeavor-
ed in various ways to prevent consid-
Grafton of the immigration bill at this
session. 1t already has passed the
house with the literacy test included.
Whenever the friends of the bill de-
sire to bring ii up they have the votes
to do it over the protests of leaders.
The two senators who made the can
vass upon which the report to the
president was made said there was no
doubt that the literacy test would be
retained and that the friends of the
bill would force it before the senate
Immediately upon reconvening and
bring IL TO record vote.
las a matter of fact" said one of
these senators today, I'VE are so weak
on this question that l fear there will
be enough votes to pass the bill over
the presidential veto. The ombina-
ton that has been made between
southern democrats and northern and
New England republicans seem to be
too strong to overcome"

IT'S ONLY THIRTEEN
DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS
OF Course You Enjoyed Yours Yester-
day, But We Are Speaking
OF Russia.

PETROGRAD (via London), Dec.
26.-While all the western world
celebrated Christmas the Russian
went blandly about his business. still
having 13 days in which TO do his
Christmas shopping. This is due to
the Julian calendar, which sets back
Russian time nearly a fortnight be-
hind the rest of the ChristiandOm.
Probably in none of the warning
nations has the war brought such a
marked change in the observance of
the holiday season. Religious cere-
monies. always the distinctive feature
Of the Russian Christmas, alone will
be unchanged. The Christmas feast
ing Of other years, the animated street
and cafe life which customarily turn
ed the holiday season into a carnival
will be lacking. This is Petrograd's
first Christmas without vodka.
Families broken up by the fortunes
of war are una tie 10 reunite.
Among the few celebrations Friday
was MONDAY dinner given to the
Russian wounded at the new Ameri-
can hospital by Mrs. George T. Marye.
Jr., wife OF the American ambassador.
The only official observance of the
day was a staff dinner by the British
ambassador. Sir George Buchanan.

LOCAL CHARITIES
ARE REMEMBERED
Federation Fund is Increased
BY Many Christmas Presents
Red Cross Stamp Sales
Set New Record.

Both the charity campaign and the
campaign to raise money for the anti
tuberculosis league received the inn
petus of many donations Christmas, a
large number of people waiting to
make their contributions in the form
Of Christmas presents.
a report of the amount raised by
the sale of the Red Cross seals will be
issued by Miss Louise Studebaker Of
this city, who has been managing the
campaign in st. Joseph county, as
soon as the amounts are turned in
from the sales in the various cities
which participated in the movement.
Because of the fact that the local
league were members of the Fedora
ton for Social Service, and were thus
unable TO solicit contributions at
Christmas time, the total amount rails
ed this year is thought TO be some
what smaller than usual. The sales
Of the Red Cross stamps, however, is
expected TO show an increase over last
years figures.
BY the addition OF the contributions
to the Federation for Social Service
made Christmas, and the amount
which will be raised by the solicitors
next week, it the hope of the trustees
that the $4,000 which is the goal to-
wards which they are working, will be
reached by the end of the year.
The Good Will campaign, when
closed, will be voted a success by
everybody interested, both for the
amount of money raised this year, and
the preparation that il has been for
future campaigns. The number of
contributors has been increased from
600 to over 5000, which number will
undoubtedly be increased each sue
ceeding year.

After the program at the house was

the presents were distributed and aft
er a hearty shaking of hands between

in former years been found in a
drunken condition at that time were
to be found at their bedsides praying
for themselves and the other sinners

The Best Ever.
1.-THE best Christmas weather in
years." was the Characterization given
by Henry Swain, county weather eX-
pert last night. Although it was
little colder than the past four Christ
masses, the weather did not interfere
with any of the celebrations held in
the city, but rather helped these along
by furnishing enough snow TO give the

mum temperatures about 10 o'clock
in the morning, when ii was is de-
grees above. At o'clock in the eve

which is a few degrees higher than
the minimum of the preceding days.
Compared with the Christmases of
the past three years, this years holi-
day was cold, as in 1913 the tempera-
ture ranged from SO degrees above TO
80 degrees above, in 1912 it varied
from AZ above to 2S above, and in
1911 from 8 to % above. The last cold
Christmas was in 1910, when the
maximum was 10 above and the mimi
mum was s.
Although Fridays MONDAY sun
caused the ewes to drip a little, the
warmth melted but little of the snow
on the ground. and the indications are
that the sleighing will continue to be
good for at least a few days more.

.RATL'FF CAPTURES
Two HORNED LARKS
Ornithologist Gets Rare
Birds Which Nest in Far
North.

Walter Ratliff, local ornithologist for
the biological survey, was fortunate
enough to secure two rare birds Thurs
day. They are horned larks or octoco-
mis- alpestris, birds which breed and
nest in Labrador, around Hudson Bay
and in other points in the Arctic CHI
Gle
The horned larks are both females
and are marked with pink, brown, yell
low and black being one Of the few
birds having pink markings. The
horns" are black feathered elongated
from the sides of the head. The larks
are a third bigger than an English
sparrow.
Mr.. Ratliff said that the horned lark
of the terrestrial species which he has
secured is not to be confused with the
pararie lark which sometimes comes
to this locality in summer. The horned
lark makes sound described as
''tseep" while the other species in fly
ing sound more like species of wOlI
ducks
Both the birds were shot within a
short distance of Mr. Ratliff's resi-
dence. He heard them first and after
some difficulty succeeded in shooting
both. They probably will be exhibited
in a store window after they are prop
crly mounted.
Within a few days Mr. Ratliff will re-
ceive several shore and wading birds
from Burlington Iowa, according to q
notice he received from the biological
survey, division Of orthodoxy He was
requested to mount the birds for exhi-
bitiOn purposes.
