CHRISTMAS GIVING
TO THE LITTLE ONES

What are you going to give your little
girl for Christmas? Are you going ia
buy at random any bright, gaudy. at
tractive looking toy that strikes your
fancy, or are you going to give her
something that will enter into her life,
give her an absorbing interest and cul-
tivate in her those tastes which every
womanly woman should have?
1t is easy enough to select something
for your boy. A toy steam engine. a
mechanical automobile. train Of cars,
a bicycle-one Of these gives him Joy.
For the small girl there Is little but
dolls and doll trash" However, the
mothers opportunity for cultivating a

in her soul the seeds of daintiness and
domestic economy, Is golden at Christ

ROCKEFELLER DANCES GAYLY.
Wives and Daughters of Miners are
His Partners.

Walsenburg, Col, Sept. 25.-The min
ing camp of Cameron, near here, was
astir early yesterday to bid farewell to
John d. Rockefeller, jr., their overnight
guest. Mr.. Rockefeller planned to pro-
coed northward on his tour of inspection
of the properties of the Colorado Fuel
& Iron company. The little schoolhouse
at Cameron last night was the scene of
a typical mining camp dance, with the
distinguished New Yorker the center Of
lively interest. The dance was preceded
by an entertainment by local theatre
cal talent. Mr.. Rockefeller spent the
night at the home of Charles Kaiser,
superintendent of the mine.
Yesterdays itinerary was expected to
include stop at the steel mills and
other properties in Pueblo.
Mr.. Rockefeller danced with Mrs.
Charles Kaiser. the pretty wife of the
mine superintendent, to the strains of
"Tipperary," Justly emitted by an or
chestra consisting of snare drum, a
clarinet, a trombone and an ACCORDION.

Der of the Rockefeller party, also par
in the dance, choosing their
partners from among the wives and
daughters of coal diggers and mine Off
Gals. After his initial step with Mrs.
Kaiser, Mr.. Rockefeller danced with
every woman and girl in the
room.

An Athletic Innovation.

The "Pathfnders" of johnson high
school have done some excellent work
during the last three years in keeping
up the Sterling section of the Long
Trail This year the usual trip to Lake
Sterling is to be taken, but with few
novelties attached. On Saturday, Oct. 2,
Stowe high school is to meet johnson in
forest athletic meet" on the shores of
this wild mountain lake. The meet will
consist of contests in camp pitching, fire
building, cross-country and relay races,
high Jump, ETC., in short, track meet
changed and adapted for the woods.
johnson will take a team of about 20
men, and will spend several days in the
mountains in preparation. Officers of
the Green Mountain club have consented
to act as officials and entertainment will
be provided them at the two school
camps.
This is pioneer step on the part of
these two schools to adapt the natural
advantages of the mountains of Vermont
to the athletics of her secondary schools.
We believe that we have followed too
blindly the schools of other communities
in the matter of athletics, and that we
have missed great opportunity for
adapting sports of our own that are bet
ter and far more distinctive. The parties
are to be we'll equipped with photograph
ers and it is expected that pictures of
this unique carnival will create no little
interest. Various forms of entertain
ment viii be given by the two schools at
the campus ON Friday and Saturday
evenings, and as this is primarily thing
to "boost" the mountains, all lovers of
mountains are cordially invited.

100000 CLAY SOLD.
Fire Clay is the Principal Kind Used in
United States

EAc Nidy 10 the EAinSiPai hihu OsSu III
United States.
Clay available for making clay prod
Ilcts is one of the most widespread OF
minerals, so that clay4working plants
are scattered over every state in the
union. The miners of the lower ~Gade
CLAWS are usually also the manufactur-
ers, but as the higher grades of clay
are approached the rule is that fewer
and fewer manufacturers are also min
ers, and the rule is that the manufac-
turer of the highest grades of ware buys
the clay he uses. The clay thus sold
is small in quantity compared with the
total production, and includes mainly
clay used for high-grade pottery and
tile. for paper making, and for refrac-
tory products.
The quantity and value of the clay
mined and sold in 1914, as shown by
report of Jefferson Middleton, just is.
sued by the United States geological
survey, was 2,20a.s6 short tons, valued
at S3,756,56s. This was considerable
reduction from the output in 1918, but
as compared with that for earlier years
it showed that the conditions of the in
dustry are fairly good, for in only two
years-l9l2 and l9l3--has the value of
the clay marketed exceeded that of 1914.
The principal clay mined, judging by
quantity and value of that sold was fire
clay, 400, 46T short tons, valued at 81.
l47 ,277, which was a decrease OF no.
Dl9 tons and of S445,3I4 from 1918. The
production Of kaolin was 34,l9l tons in
1914. valued at S2S4,sl7, an increase OF
5,S57 tons and Of Sss,360 over 1918. The
production of bali clay was 67,927 tons,
valued at s525,767, an increase Of 793
tons and OF sls,095 over 1919. These
elays are used principally in making
high-grade pottery and the increase in
their production, though small. shows
that the domestic cIays are finding
greater use in the manufacture OF high
grade ware.
