What to give to grandma is the question that puzzles young heads at Christmas times.
 Here is little tea cOzy wEich is sure of u welcome from grandma, and 1t is the simplest thing imaginable to make. Printed Japanese silk or silk alene or cretonne will serve the pur- pose with equally good results, and 1t takes very little of any one of these materials, even for the largest size in teapots.
 This cozy is made of four sections of figured silk sewed together to form the outside, and four similar sections of plain silk or other materials sewed together to form the lining. When the lining has been made, it is covered with thick layer of cotton batting tackled down to 1t in several places and the cover is slipped on over it. Then the raw edges of both materials are turned up and overcast together. A very full bow of many loops of bright satin ribbon is sewed to the top.
 The gayest and brightest of colors make the tea cozy cheerful part of tea drinking. It slips on over the pot and keeps the tea hot for long time.

Lausing Asks Quick Reply.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. March 2S - Secretary Lansing has dispatched a.n- other note to President Carranza of Mexico. asking that an immediate re- ply be given the request of the ad- immigration for permission to use the Mexican Central railroad to trans port supplies to the American expe- ditions in Mexico.
 The fact is impressed upon Car ranza that his delay in answering is seriously hampering the efforts of the United States troops ill their effort to capture Villa and unless the cam siderable period of time. permission to use the road must be at once forthcoming. There are thousands of tons of supplies now at tte border awaiting facilities for moving them
 It is said that Carrarza is giving as an excuse for the delay that he is awaiting the signing of the protocol between the United States and Mexi~ co. regarding the permission of tho troops of each country to enter the other in pursuit of outlaw bands.
 It is generally believed in official circles that Carranza is holding off to give Villa an opportunity to escape. and that while protesting friendship for the United States, he is really do- ing everything possible to prevent the United States troops from eaQ~ turing Villa.

 President Wilson has expressed his disapproval of the literacy test on several occasions. stating that he does not consider the test fair one, or one that will raise the standard of immigration.

Republican president, MT. Muraue is to get back ;;.n Alaska judgeship with the new feature that he wants to come to the Third Division. It had been supposed that he would try to get his old place of Judge of the Sec ond Division at Nome.
 Further interesting information is a reiteratiOn of the earlier rumor that Jafet Lindeberg is slated to be gov ernor of Alaska in case Republican administration comes into power in 1917. It seems to be matter of which MT. Lindeberg has made no concealment that he. would like to be governor of Alaska some. time but it has been reported that he was in no hurry about it and was willing to wait until 1921. All these are mat ters which wiH-be more fully revealed with the flight of time.
 No definite information has come yet from either Nome or Fairbanks. The report of the Republican pri- mary at Fairbanks in the News-Min- CT of that town is very brief, simply stating that harmony prevailed and that only S2 votes were cast at the primary. The article seemed to imply also that the Wickefsham men did not participate. This issue of the paper did not contain the list of dele gates and no other paper that has ar rived from Fairbanks has given the list. Y stssss2ssf. 7, gs,ss4.as j.;
