INTERVIEWS

Tommy's head is bandaged:
Christmas skates did that;
Boobies Christmas jackknife
Has left an Untailed cat.
Jimmy's Christmas tool chest
Saw, hammer, file and plane
Has made the new piano
Look somewhat like Louvain.
Susies Christmas scissors,
With singular success
Have sliced to pretty ribbons
Mothers party dress
JOhnnies Christmas bow-wow
Is in the barn confined;
He ate the Christmas turkey
Before the family dined.
But every one is happy
Though mother says, "I fear
I'm rather glad that Christmas
Comes round but once a year"

L. FGHANISTAN would have been
"A a closed book to me on my re-
4 y cent trip to the far east had
it not been for United States senator
Morris Shepherd" said DR.. c. c. Young.
senator Shepherd obtained letters
from president Wilson which enabled
me to go into the forbidden places in
the great unknown country Of the east
and, had it not been for him I would
never have been able to bring back the
$500 collection OF rare rugs which I
will have here in a few days and will
place on exhibition The customs Of
ficers wanted to charge me so percent
duty on these rugs but, through SEN
ator Shepherd, they were permitted to
come through duty free for educational
purposes. I intend to take off my coat
and work for his reelection when his
term expires as he worked Tor me
when I asked him"
"Jess Willard not only has chance,
but I honestly and firmly believe he
will win" said Jack Curley. Il be
ueVe Jess has a far better chance than
Jim Corbett had against John L. Sui
livan, than Nelson had against Cans
in their second affair, than Johnson
had against Jeffries, or than dozen
others who won the championship have
had. In Willard, Johnson viii met
man he cannot tire out by wrestling
him around the ring and man who
has every natural advantage over him.
The only lead which Johnson Will have
will be in experience and this should
be more than counterbalanced by VIII
lard's advantage in height weight
reach, strength and age After this
fight Willard will be hailed as the
greatest heavyweight the game has
ever seen
las is the case with any new scheme
we had more or less trouble with the
parcels post last year, particularly at
Christmas time" said J. 2. Flncher in
charge of the terminal postoffice at the
Union station. This year we kept well
up with our work, mot once failing to
clean up on the packages for the day.
And this year we handled in the neigh
borhood of 100000 packages as against
about $4,000 last year. There were some
delays with the trains because Of par
cells post packag eS, But these delays
were due to the fact that the doors of
the mail cars are only wide enough
to permit one man to work at them.
We could not possibly have used an
other man without having him get in
the way of some of the others. The
only scheme possible to eliminate
these delays is to have three sliding
doors on each side of the car, one IN
the center and the other two half way
between the center and end. With
clerk for each door during the rush
season mail could be unloaded more
rapidly.
1T is important that the money for
a space in the Made in Ell Paso' exhibit
shall be in by Jan. l." said Robert
Krakauer. 1.-The committee has .ex-
penses that must be met. There is to
be much advertising, thousands Of cata-
logs are to be printed and there are
incidental expenses InaL must De met.
We do not wish to go to any expense
until we have the money with which
to meet it. The date for the payments
for space has been set forward lit
tie but this should cause no inconvent-
ence. Exhibitors will greatly assist IN
the success of the exhibit il they will
make payments not later than the
first"
sThe Republicans in Arizona, well
satisfied with the recent election, are
working hard for 1916" said c. c.
Mosby, of Tucson "One Of the. CHIEF
features of the work is a campaign Of
education The Republican papers are
getting in some hard ticks and where
ever the Republicans can get into print
thev are doing So I understand that
some prominent Republicans are ar
ranging for the publication of a new
paper in Phoenix Every paper they
