The remarks, low and confidential, were the gist
of conversation between two little, halfclad chill
dren, boy and girl, apparently and years old,
respectively.
With that feeling that most all of us have expe

benefactor lowering about Christmas APP
preached, though always invsibe-still able to hear
the expression of desires, these two little waits
were conhding in each other what the good old fell

With that perfect trust and confidence in every
body and everything, that only the little ones pos

NATIVE pictures of Chris kringe, this little girl and
boy unfolded to each other the great things that
were in store for them-all because of this wonder
full old fellow.
Little did they realize that had not been for the
fact that the howell which to them is known as
home had been discovered and their conversation
overheard by The Argus Santa Claus-what little
really was in store for them Christmas morning
Instead of receiving the same grmy, empty
stockings that they hung up the night before, they
will get their wishes fulfilled - stockings filled

good food for Christmas day and their faith in Santa

But it takes money to buy gifts for the hundreds
of poor children of Rock Island. The Argus Santa
Claus fund committee is doing the work. 1t has been
doing it for years. but you must do your part. Send
to The Argus committee any amount OF money you
feel able to contribute Do it now for the time is
growing short.

NOTED SPEAKERS ENGAGED FOR
DENVER FARM MEET.
Congress to Be Held In Same Audi
torium In Which II Was Launched
in Denver Six Years Ago.

Denver.-Coupled with the an.
nouncement that three speakers OF
note had been engaged for the Inter.
national Farm Congress, it was an.
nounced that the sessions would be
held in the auditorium of the First
Baptist church. The congress was
launched in this same room at meet
ing in 1909.
The speakers added to the program
include United States Senator Thomas
p. Gore. Carl Vrooman, assistant sec
retary of agriculture, and Elwood G.
Mead, the noted western engineer,
now chairman of the central board of
review for the government projects.
Dean w. M. Jardine of the Agricul-
tural College of Kansas stated that
the Farm Congress and the Soil Prod
ucts Exposition which met in Wichita.
Kan. last year. had been the means
of keeping more Kansas boys at home
than any one thing that has happened
in the history of. the state.
Canada, and some of the states of
our country, do much advertising to
get the farm boys to bring their mon
ey and settle in the state advertised"
said Dean Jardine. ut seems much
better to me to show them what the
resources Of their own states are, and
thus keep them at home That is
what the meeting of the Farm Con-
gress did in Kansas last year and it
is what will be done for Colorado this
year"

Covering Cream Cans.

A great part of the value Of keeping
cream cool on the farm and at the
station or creamery is lost II the
cream is exposed to the direct rays of
the sun while being hauled from the
farm to the point of sale. Far too
few people stop to realize the impor-
lance OF covering their cream cans
when bringing them in to town. Ex.
pensive jacketed cans are not a neces-
sity to keep the cream cool. In sum-
NOR weather Just an ordinary piece
Of wet burlap thrown over the cans
Will keep the temperature of the cream
as much as 20 degrees below what 1t
would rise to II left uncovered while
