MIR. and Mrs. Harry e. Blood
Entertain Children.

(The B~urlingame tOalJ Advance.)
Christmas morning, n nine one
four,
Brought six sweet faces to Blood's
door;
With happy smiles and curls SO
long,
1t was really a joyous throng.
There was joy where joy was most
needed. Six little orphans, that
needed a real Christmas and depend
ed upon generous hearts for it or
else go without it.
Some days ago Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
E. Blood of Cortez avenue, Easton,
planned to make their own Christ
mas happy by making others happy
and selecting six orphan children for
their guests. If they had searched
the state owe they could not have
found guests that would have ap-
preciated more a good time on Christ
mas than these six little fatherless
and motherless children. Just think
what it meant to children to have a
Christmas. Just think what it means
to children to have no home and nc
parents. But for one day the chill
dren did have a home and those who
were as kind to them as parents
could be. So there is joy all around
in the Blood home this Christmas day
Just who will have the happiest day
these children or these kind people.
it is hard to tell, nor does it matter
for there is joy a-plenty of the rea.
kind.

In fact, the government never should

FREELING MAY
APPEAL A CASE
May go TO Supreme Court With Lii
CATION Brought by West Against Two
Of the Big Oil Companies.

Attorney General \. 4. Freezing
stated today that be will hold u con
ference with his assistants sometime
during the day 10 determine whether
he viii take an appea from the de.
cislon Of District Judge Thomas D.
Mckeown Of Ada, IN which he held
TINT the Texas company and It's sub.
salaries are not guilty of having
violated the antitrust laws of the
state.
The action was brought by former
Attorney General Charles West ut
AtOka last summer against the Texas
company the Central Petroleum com.
pnny, the Producers OH company and
about twenty-five other oil companies
which are subsidiaries Of the Texas
company West alleged that these
companies had combined for the pur
pose " forming a monopoly and In re
straint Of trade and asked forfeiture
~ charter rights, fines amounting Il
about Sli.OO0OOO and cOnfisCatiOn Of
tho property Of the corporations to the
slate.
Attorney General Freezing today re-
ceived complete cOpy OF Judge Me
heOwn's decision which holds In sub
stance that the combination formed
by the Texas and subsidiary com.
panies was not such IN TO violate the
Laws Of the state, because Of the show
ing made In the trial that the con
Germs consolidated were not In direct
c, mpetltlon with the Texas compa ny
as the latter was engsxetf solely In ths
purchase and transportation Of oil ir
order to supply It's refineries while the
subsidiaries were engaged In the busi
ness OF producing oil.
The court also held that the Texas
c. mpany through the Central Pc
troleum and Producers on companies
does not control but about five pei
cent of the total oil production Of
the state, which does not constitute
evidence Of u monopoly in the absehct
of proof OF any attempt TO restrain
trade.

was entered by the court requiring
the Texas company, within sixty DAYS
