North 11th street.

There must be many little girls
and boys who have toys that have
ceased to be of much use to them.
Think of the pleasure and joy they
would bring to the little ones who
have no hopes of a visit from Santa
Claus! Perhaps you have only one
thing to spare. Well, ONE thing is
enough to make ONE child happy,
and, oh! how happy you will be on
Christmas morning to think that
somewhere in the city a little heart
is bright that, but for you, might have
been sorrowful on this loveliest of
days. WRITE TO FARMER SMITH
AND TELL HIM JUST WHAT
BOOKS AND TOYS YOU ARE
WILLING TO GIVE.
Perhaps, like the little boy in the
first letter, you want some. In that
case, write to Farmer Smith and he
will see that Santa Claus does not
forget YOU.

Great Doings in Henville

morning, but Mrs. Leghorn did not

the hen house and laid an egg.

looked at the egg and then scratched

terrible noise with her cackling (hop-

Rooster's attention), she flew out of
the hen house.
"Ha! Hal" thought Mister Rooster
to himself when he saw her. "I guess
I'll go in and set on Mrs. Leghorn's

against BLOCKADE
Inv The Tnited Press.


WASHINGTON, March 16.-The
sharpest protest as yet prepared by
this country since the European war
started will be the answer Of the
United States to England's latest

The inspection of the text of the
British "order-in-council" and Iealiza-
tion that her reply to the sug-
gestion that foodstuffs for the non
combatant population of Germany is
curt refusal has caused a distinct
feeling Of resentment in governmental
circles. It is realized that part of the
latest order is for home consumption,
but the open attempt to make the
United States a party TO the starva-
ton of Germany by having il guar
antee that none of its products shall
reach Germany or Austria is regarded
as "impudent assumption
While il was emphasized both at the
White House and at the State Depart
haste i'm dealing with this latest
problem in our international rela-
tions. officials were unanimous in as
serting that Englandls latest order
will be characterized by the United
States officially as a fragrant viola
tion of all the principles of interna-
tional law and a direct attack upon
American trade that must be consid-
cred evsn more unfriendly. Even
those officials who have been sus-
pected of holding pro-British senti-
ments were outspoken in their COM
ment They declared that the Brit

verbiage. boldly claimed control OF
the sea and the right of seizure OF

price to be fixed by England and not

House TO assure the President that
