WHOLE WEEKS CELEBRATION
Descendants of Old Spanish Settlers
Observed Christmas With Din
ners and Parties.

Among the descendants of the old
Spanish settlers we find that they OBJ
serve week in the celebration of
Christmas. This begins one week be-
fore Christmas. In the daytime they
have dinners at each others homes,
and in the evenings they give series
of parties at the different houses. In
the evening the young folk go to the
home Of one Of their number and
knock, and then all begin to sing.
Those within the house ask, who is
there?" and the answer is, THE vir-
gin Mary and st. Joseph seek lodging
in your house" To carry out the BIZ
BILE story they are at first refused ad-
mittance, and then the door is opened
wide and they are all given a hearty
welcome.
On Christmas eve the old and
young all join together and have a
big celebration. In large hall they
fix up one side to represent the man
ger, and here they very solemnly give
little play in which many take part,
the characters being Mary and Jo-
seph, the wise men, the shepherds
and the angels. This play is very real
to them, and they all play their parts
with a reverent spirit.

Meteor's Trail Photographed.

The most remarkable photograph Of
so far as we know, was recently repro
duced in L'Astronomie. The meteor
was seen from many points in South
Africa about 5 p. m. on June 2, 1912,
in broad daylight, and the trail that
it left behind remained visible until
some time after sunset, becoming
more and more conspicuous as the
daylight faded.
The photograph, which shows the
trail as an immense, serpentine ribbon
in the western sky, was taken at
Temple, Orange Free State, about an
hour after the passage of the meteor
with a court train"

Odd how the enthusiasm for rural
credits seem to emanate from the dis
tricts where land is poor and farming
methods bad, from the south with its
shiftless colored agricultural popula-
ton. from the government officials
whose departments would expand with
the adoption of a government scheme
for rural credits, and from the polite
ians who imagine that the subject is
one of the handiest devices available
for getting the farmers attention,
without regard to its merits.

sixty women on lathes, drill presses,

continue, for women are more effic-
lent operators of automatic and semi

IL YOU HAVE
CATARRH READ THIS
Breathe HyOmei Four Times Day and
Watch ResuIts-Giyes Prompt Relief

The pleasantest, most convenient anC
most scientific method for the treat
ment of catarrh is Hyomei. Simply
put few drops of Hyomei in the in
haler that comes with every complete
package and then breathe it's air for a
few minutes, four times a day.
1t seems remarkable that so simple
way of treating catarrh will effect
such quick relief, but the most import
ant discoveries of science have always
been the simplest. By breathing Hy-
omei in this way every particle of air
that entries the air passages of the
thraot and head and goes into the
lungs is charged with a healing bal
sam that kills the germs and bacilli
of catarrh and soothes and allays all
irritation
The first days use of 'Hyomei will
show an improvement and in short
time there should be no further trou
BILE from catarrh. Its action is rapid
and lasting.
You take no risk in buying Hyomei.
A complete outfit is inexpensive but
if after using you can say that it has
not helped you r. Hodgins will return
your omney. What other treatment for
eatarrh is sold under a guarantee like
this? 1871

INVESTING AND
] ALSO SPEcULATINC

The line is being drawn more firmly
each day between the investor and
the speculator in mining securities.
The activities Of brokers dealing in
unlisted stocks is drawing many for
mer investors to the ranks of the stock
Brokers are at times
able to offer stocks at so-called "cut
rate" prices The company may be
offering treasury shares at several
points above the price at which the
stock can be secured from cut rate
brokers. The speculator may be-
offered the stock on installment
terms and this speculator, no doubt,
if he knew the actual conditions,
would go right to the company for
shares The speculator would turn in
vestor if he analyzed the situation
and realized the fact that the money
he paid the broker for the cut rate
stock would in no wise help the treas
ury of the company represented by
the shares purchased.
To a certain extent the cut rate
broker is detriment to the commun-
ity in process of financing and The
Record has made it a policy of the
paper not to allow cut rate brokers to
underquote the shares of company
in process of. launching. A company
can sell treasury shares to an investor
on the time payment plan with com
plete safety to the investor On the
other hand the speculator who buys
stocks on the installment plan through
broker is. treading on dangerous
ground unless he absolutely, knows
that the broker he is dealing with is
sound financially and will live up to
his contract. The investor in mining
shares does his part in the develop
ment of new enterprises. The spec
ulator often makes it possible for
brokerage firms to hinder honest de-
velopment-Mining and Financial

GET RID Of QUESTION
BY KIlLIM6 AMERICANS

A grand vizier of Abdul Hamid
once declared that "the way to get
rid of the American question is to get
rid OF the Americans" This now
seems to be the policy of the Turkish
government. While it has the alliance
og Germany and Austria and while
other, powers are barred from the
scene of the war, Turkey is doing her
utmost to get rid of the Americans
to the end that there may be no
American question remaining when
peace returns.
The reports, thrilling with horror,
are beyond belief. Mr.. Morgenhau,
the American ambassador at Constan-
tinople, is quoted as saying that al
ready a majority of the Americans in
Asiatic Turkey have been killed But
as if Turkey were unequal to the
frightful task she, has set herself of
numbering an entire race, she is driv-
ing great numbers of those affiliated
people from their homes, and like cat
tie is herding them in droves towards
Mesopotamia and other strange lands
The hardest battling and campaign
ing on the Russo Turkish front have
been in Armenia, and the Armenians
are accused of betfaying the Turks,
Inevitably they cannot be loyal, to
such masters, and the war has been a
fair occasion for some revolutionary
proceedings. But the greatest offend

MARINES DESTROY
IMPREGNABLE FORT

By the capture and destruction oi
Fort Riviere, an old stone structure
held by superstitious Haitians as inn
pregnable and favored of the revolu-
tionary gods, the rebellions Cascos of
northern Haiti were crushed, and the
pacihcation work of the United States
Marine Corps in that section of the
turbulent little island was finished
Not an American Marine was injured
in the dangerous undertaking, accord
ing to the official reports just received
at headquarters of the Marine Corps.
Fort REVERE. was built by the
French when Haiti was a colonial pos
session of that country and has been
the headquarters of the Caco bandits
for years, 1t has always been hot
bed of revolution, and Marine Corps
officers realized that it would have to
be captured and destroyed before last
ing peace could come to that section
Major Smedley Darlington Butler
led the expedition against REVERE,
and to the Sth company, under Capt
VIM. w. Low, was assigned the task
of making the main or frontal attack
This company deployed at a distance
of about 1900 yards from the fort and
advanced upon it in extended order
The Caco fire was continuous but the
aim of the attacking party of Marines
was so deadly that they were enabled
in a very short time to. get into po-
sition from which the fort could be
stormed. With characteristic dash
they were upon the works, and al
though the Cacos stuck to their guns
until the Marines had actually entered
the fort, they were unable to inflict
a single casualty in the ranks of the
sea soldiers.
Major Butler then ordered the fort
dynamited and when the last stones
of the old structure were destroyed
the revolutionary hopes and ambitions
of the north Haiti Cacos were buried
beneath the ruins of Rivere.

DENMARK INSISTS ON
STRICT NEUTRALITY

Neutrality is certainly not an empty
phase in Denmark. There the govern
ment recognizes that it stands for
something more than the mere OBJ
servance of international law in regard
to external relations, and that it in
cludes internal activities of public
character. In short, the spirit as well
as the letter of neutrality is guarded
as closely as it may be governmental
regulation.
Foreigners are forbidden the plat
form if they wish to lecture upon any
angle of tile war, or the belligerent
powers, and, realizing that the ad
vocacy of peace may be construed as
form of partisanship, members of
the Ford expedition will not be per-
mitted to hold meetings.
Although Denmark is not very
big country and has comparatively
small foreign population, its. govern
ment is most careful to guard against
uhythi SdiSuidtSu " iilHdhiC its
alien and semi-alcn clements. The
peace, order and domestic harmony
of Denmark are placed above the al
legged rights of those who wish tc
give public expression to their SYM
pathies with this or that set of bcllig-
erents.
There is no call to make compari-
sons with other nations having an
entirely different conception of neu-
trality, but it is fitting to observe that
internal discord which has arisen in
some on-participating countries hav-
ing a mixed population.
Though denied the right to hold
meetings in Denmark, the tail of the
Ford expedition will doubtless be
able to release its suppressed oratory
with equal advantage at other points
on the map. In the absence of Ford
himself the peace mission is very like
a performance of Hamlet" with the
Prince of Denmark left out, but, be-
ing composed of men and women,
conspicuous by their peculiar opin-
ions, and burning desire TO unbur-
dent him on the slightest provocation.
it is to be hoped that they will have
this chance of lifetime to air their
views in foreign lands.
1t may yet be demonstrated that
Ford collapsed less by reason of the
great obstacles with which he was
faced than. by virtue of the eccen-
tricities and ,superhcated eloquence
of those behind him. He seemed to
have gathered together all the strange
shapes of mind and odd sizes of in
tellect in America, and it was not
surprising that they could not agree
