LoYoLA CLUB ENTERTAINs
 WITH CHRISTMAS PARTY

Fun reigned supreme at the Loyola Club rooms last evening, the occasion being a Christmas party rendered by the members of that popular organi- zation to their many friends. The club rooms were crowded with a jolly, good natured throng of people, who entered into the festivities with the proper holiday spirit.
 The program was variew arfd in teresting one, and all present had a good time. The hall was beautifully decorated with spruce and evergreens and the man at the wheel offered all an opportunity of winning Christmas prize. During the intermission there was vocal and instrumental music, af- ter which refreshments were served and dancing indulged in.
 There was also a large Christmas tree, beautifully decorated and brill liantly illuminated. It contained many gifts, the distribution ot which brought much joy to the recipients. The Loyola Club is to be congratulated for the entertainment afforded, and by the giving of frequent social affairs has done much to bring the young folk together in a way that has promoted the most friendly feeling among our residents.

COAL FIELDS OF SAXONY TO bE
 DEVELOPED

DRESDEN, Dec. 29 To put an end to speculation that has prevailed for a long while, the state of Saxony is to purchase and own it's coal fields
 Existing coal fields that are privately owned will be operated as before, but they may not be extended, nor may other fields be purchased privately. The coal fields of Saxony have for years presented a rich speculative field. It has been the practice, per mitted by law, to buy on speculation, and in consequence the purchase of a field has almost never indicated that the purchaser intended to operate, but rather that he hoped and expected to sell at an advance. The public has hardly benefited from the practice.

Prohibition Big Issue
 At Legislative Sessions

on January 3. Bills in their interests have already been prepared and will be introduced immediately after the session conyenes formally
 Indications are that all the legisla- tion passed by the coming session will be of a compromise and joint nature, since the senate is Republican by q large majority, while the house is Democratic. In the senate there are 29 Republicans and F Democrats: in the house 49 Democrats and 46 Re publicans. From this it is believed the session will prove interesting.
 There has been some talk of an at tempt to introduce a law granting eft ies county opinion on prohibition. It is declared, however. by many lead ing lawyers of the state that such a law, if passed, would prove unconsti- tutional because the prohibition law was established through the initiative. It is believed by many. therefore. that the attempt will be abandoned.
