Last evening Neil O'Brien and
his great American MINISTRIES enter
tanned moderately filled house at
the New Daytona theater.

program was the banjo-playing of Ed

out repeatedly and were satisfied
only after he had rendered most of
the popular rags in his repertoire
He also whistled some pieces, pro-
ducing both the air and the tenor with
a banjo accompaniment.
Neil O'Brien and Eddie Mazier sang

and go. Down Among the Sheltering
Palms." that worldwide sensational
song hit, drew great applause when
rendered admirably by Eddie Mazier
and George Detzel.
The performers, taken all in all.
boasted good voices and sang with
much expression. Other interesting
features were. THE Hotel de Danse, .
staged by Pete Detzel. Summer
Moon" by the sextette and I'm Long
ing for Old Virginia and YOU" by
Don Palmer.
The program concluded with a
dron production of "Darktown' S
Bravest Fighting the Flames
piece representing the humorous
doings of a country town fire depart
ment.
The lighting effects were excep-
tionally good and as a minstrel pro
duction, Neil O'Briens performance
ranks with the best.

Since you have seen fit to make

There are many changes and chances

FERRY PASS
NOTES.

Ferry Pas, Dec. "wednesday,
Dec. LIST, Miss Landrum visited our
school in the interest of the Tomato
Club.
The meetings of the Sewing Club
have been changed from Thursday to
Saturday at / o'clock p. m.
On Dec. End Maurice, the eldest son
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. Johnson, was bad
ly burned. He had put on his night
dress, preparatory to going to bed,
and was standing by the fireplace,
when in some way his clothing caught
fire. He was alone in the room and
ran out, screaming. The family ran
to his assistance, and but for the
timely thought of his mother, who
wrapped him in heavy quilt, thus
smothering the blaze, his burns might
have proved much more serious.
There was a good attendance at the
meeting of the S. I. A. Friday, Dec.
3rd. Quite bit of business was
transacted and arrangements made to
have Miss Chandler come twice a
month to instruct the pupils in art.
There will be regular meeting of
the Ferry Pass Progresives Friday
night, Dec. 10th. A good program
has been prepared and all are cor
daily invited to attend.

SANTA SLAUS WILL NOT FORGET
ANY CHILD IN PENSACOLA

Every child IN Pensacola believes in
Santa Claus. That is plain to be seen.
And, what is very much more to the
point, old Santa Claus believes in the
boys and girls quite as much as they
do in him.
He snaps his finger at old Mr.. Hard
Times and says: "See, here! don't
talk to me about forgetting the
Christmas spirit for just one year.
Not on your ife." (He is slangy, but
you really must excuse him. He gets
SO enthusiastic he forgets.) He says:
1T is all very we'll for you to talk
about hard times and draw long
face, and say that the Belgians are
starving for food and that little chill
dren are going with empty stomachs
and bare feet. Very well, Mr.. Vefy
Much Careful! That is all right!
f-and this is . great big IF-you
have sent any money to the starving
Belgians or helped to fill the little
empty stomachs or to cover the little
bare feet" That is what Santa Claus
says.
If you, Mr.. Very Careful Man, have
helped the starving Belgians, or If
you have clothed the ragged, and fed
the hungry you are indeed twice
blessed, and you do not need any
share in our Christmas work to bring
you Christmas happiness. But if you
have not shared your plenty with
others do not, oh, do not blight the
joy of the Christmas season with your
spirit of penury! For only the spirit
may be poor. There is no poverty for
those who have life's richest blessing
an open heart. Love is the fulfilling
Of the law. And the law of love only
makes possible the license to give.
If you have this love and want to
help to make the children happy at
Christmas there is not much time left
to you. Time flies at the Christmas
tide. So fast it goes, on its holly
decked way, and as you sit about your
fireside, thinking of the little children,
remember this: Your home would be
but dull on Christmas Day, were it
not for children's voices. The Santa
Claus letters that are published in
The Journal each year come from
children in every walk of life. Rich
children and comfortable children, and
children just so-so-rich, and happy
children, and sad children, and little

SPLENDID RECORD OF
COLLEGE GIRL.

Miss Lola Lee Daniel, who Is a
sophomore at Randolph Macon Wom-
ans College in Lynchburg, Va, is
making a splendid record at her alma
mater. Of the 176 girls in her
French and Spanish classes Miss
Daniel has made the highest record
and is also doing excellent work in
other studies.
As Randolph Macon ranks with
vassar, Smith and Bryn Mawr and its
standards are the highest in the
South, such record is most encour-
aging. This bright Pensacola girl
has found time for social pleasures
also; she attended the Thanksgiving
hop at Washington and Lee, and spent
Thanksgiving with college friend at
Bluefields, w. Va, where number OF
holiday festivities were planned for
them.
