SANTA CLAUS VISIT.

1t was hard task that was laid
out for the distributing committee of
the Santa Club when they started out
on Christmas eve, with a double dray
load of packages to distribute.
Over 100 children were supplied and
when Old Santa Claus, wearing big
fur coat, a red cap and white whiskers
entered the homes and called "Merry
Christmas" he was greeted with
smiles and tears, and shouts of joy
from the little ones to whose happi-
ness he made his Christmas offering.
1t was after nearly five hours work
that the committee returned to their
homes = tired, but happy = and the
Journal wants every person who ir
any manner contributed to the Santa
Claus fund to know that they have
added to their own glory by contrib.
uting to the happiness of the needy.

Auditorium Theatre
GERTRUDE HOFFMAN,.

Gertrude Hoffman, who comes to
the Auditorium, Toledo, on Thursday,
January s, matinee and night in her
new revue, is called "The woman of
daring Innovations" title she has
acquired through her fearlessness in
presenting on the stage novelties that
other managers and producers have
been afraid to even consider. But
Miss Hoffman, is not only daring in
her stage work, she is just as fearless
in real life. Last summer, when she
was preparing her new revue for this
season, she decided she wanted some
unusual Photographs of herself, and as
her summer home is at Sea Gate, near
New York, she decided to have them
taken on the beach and in the ocean.
One of the most prominent photog-
raphers in New York went down to
her seaside place prepared for any
thing in the photographing line.
But he was not prepared for what
Miss Hoffman, desired, though he
gamely went through with it. After
numerous snapshots had been made
on the beach and in the surf Miss
Hoffman announced that some were tc
be taken from an old wreck that lies
off Sea Gate and that is a favorite
spot for black-fish anglers. The pho
tographer and his camera were taker
out to the wreck in small boat witt
a life-guard to stand by, and the in
trepid picture man was lashed, heac
down, to the stump of the splinterec
mast while he secured about thirt.
snapshots of Miss Hoffman,.

A Danish engineer has invented an
automatic soldier, which he claims will
do away with most of the dangers of
war for the army employing his inven-
ton. 1t consists of steel cylinder
inclosed within another cylinder which
is embedded in the ground. The fight
ing power is set in motion by means
of wireless telegraphy, the inner cyl
inder rising to height Of about five
feet above the surface Of the ground.
At the same time an automatic gun
fixed in the cylinder opens fire with
400 bullets in any required direction.
The automatic soldiers may be brought
into action by an officer at distance
of five miles from the line of defense.
Further, 1t is pointed out that there is
no danger of panic.

Some people have no ideas. They
don't go where they are. They read
books that haven't any. They never
get into the woods to hunt for them.
They never drop a line in stream to
fish for them. Really, they are so
brought up that IL an idea came
around where they were they wouldn't
know it. They would think it was an
intruder and try to kick it, says the
Ohio State Journal. What they take
for ideas are whims, prejudices,
hints, scraps of jokes and shreds Of
gossip. From these they make up
their conclusions and opinions. They
furnish them resource for infinite con-
troversy. One can listen to such peo-
that is thought born of the spirit.
1t is mostly the scum Of matter. When
one Of these people is in charge OF
some fine mission or some great public
interest, it is unfortunate indeed. They
handle 1t like bulldog would thread
a needle, making great ado, but new
er accomplishing anything. They new
er think they are not equal to the
duty. On the other hand, they sup
pose they are especially fitted for the
task. If 1t were suggested that they
get few good, self-evident truths be
fore they accepted a duty, they would
scorn the suggestion. Not having any
ideas, they would think they knew II
all.

MORALITY AND FASHION.

It may be argued with considerable
force that more harm than good has
been done by the illumination Of NOR.
alists against the slit skirt and d.
,aphanous gown. What these philip
pics have done In chief Is to empha-
size the comparatively few cases of
extreme styles and kept the prurient
aspect Of the subject constantly be-
fore the public. The mind that is
stirred to evil by the slight reveal
ment of the average slit skirt needs
no special excitant. 1t is unwhole-
somely prurient and will flnd evil any
where. 1t Is childish to believe its
prurience can be so created, says the
Chicago Tribune. Purists are con.
stantly exaggerating the Importance
stimuli and attacking symptoms in
stead Of causes. II there were more
sermons preached against impure
thoughts and fewer against objects
often Of themselves quite innocent
which purists are afraid will stir i'm
pure thoughts, more progress woule
be made. If our minds are 80 unclear
that we cannot see the lines of a won
ans body without impure suggestion
the cure should be applied to us, no
to her. "If thine eye offend thee, plucl
1t out" has a meaning as valid now a!
ever.

The Swiss astronomer, LIE Coultre,
who has been observing the planet
Mars during the past five years, calls
attention to intermittent luminous ap-
pearances resembling the rays Of pow
erful searchlights, which appear al
ways in the same spots. This suggests
the old notion that Mars is inhabited
by intelligent beings who are endeav-
oring to signal the earth.

$4,000 Stradivarius violin. The in
strument was presented to him by
Lady Gene Palmer, wife of Sir Walter,
one of the wealthiest members of the
English Parliament. For many years
Lady Palmer has been Macmillen's
most ardent admirer and patroness in
London. She gave Macmillen his
violin as a token of her esteem, the
presentation taking place at large
dinner which she gave in his honor at
her beautiful country home at Frog
nal.

The old master made the violin ir
1921 when he was at the height of his
fame and skill. The violin is without
blemish and is the source OF mucf
admiration from connoiseurs when
ever Macmillen comes to town. The
tone is remarkable. Macmillen ha'
refused many fabulus offers for it.

Promoting Farm Efficiency.

After one or two decades of the
study of farm management and the
making of surveys to learn the labor
income of farmers, comes a plan to
put into use some of the lessons
learned to increase farm efficiency.
Some of the factors of farm efficiency
are size of farm, proportion of work
ing capital to total investment, diver
sity of farming plan, amount and kind
of live stock kept, etc. There is gen
orally type of farming that gives the
greatest labor income in each agricul-
tural region. The type best suited to
one locality may not be most profita-
BILE in another.
The Office of Farm Management Of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
at Washington will cooperate with
the Montana Extension Service in
putting farm efficiency man in the
field for this State. He will gather
data from seventy five or hundred
farms. These will be tabulated and
analysed by farm management men at
Bozeman and Washington, then each
separate farm will be compared with
the best average and with the best
twenty or twenty-five to show the
owner where his best returns are OBJ
tanned and where it is probable he
can improve Negotiations for a farm
efficiency man are being made.--F. S.
Cooley, Director of Extension Ser
vice, Bohemian.
