 Trade Body to Help
 In planning for an investigation or the principal food supply, the depart ment has arranged for the helD of the federal trade commission, which with the department was directed by Pres idcnt Wilson last year to make an in- quiry to ascertain the amount of food stocks and to determine if the anti trust laws have been violated in food production, storage and distribution. That inquiry has been halted for lack Of an appropriation.
 The two houses are expected to get together on an amount 10 be appro- priated for this inquiry and a. soon as it is available the trade comUission will proceed.
 Already Empowered?
 Some officials believe the trade com mission aas enough power to make unnecessary the use of extreme lesis- Nation in resuiatins ihe control of food although additional powers shoJld be given for an emergency.
 Officials of all departments and di- visions Of the government realize that the facts of the situation existing must be learned before remedies can be planned Now. no one knows how much food there is in the country and how it is distributed. Of certain foods the government has exact knowledge. but of others it has virtually none.
 Dry" Question SheIved
 Suggestions that the government is contemplating measures for national prohibition during the war as a means of increasing the food supply are met with the statement by officials that no early action in that direction is likely as it is not considered necessary at this time. Secretary Houston al iuded to it today in his letter to the senate by a reference to European ac- ton in restricting the manufacture of alcoholic liquors He made no recom- out that the European governments have saved considerable food in this way.
 Would Save Millions
 Estimates he said, put the amount pf food made into liquor in the United Stataes at about $145.OO0,0O0 annu- ally. MT Houston warned today against agricultural experiments in new areas and tests of new crops. The increase of food. he said. bust come about largely through increased farm efficiency and on farms and ranges already in operation. The problem ne defined as one of more concentration of effort. not that Of putting more land under cultivation.
 some of the greatest preyea;able wastes are in the home" wrote the secretary.

The Land of Santa Claus

He comes with a face so jolly and red.
Driving along in his reindeer sled,
And no doubt you think from his wintry
looks,
Which you We often seen in the picture
books,
That he's left cold and icy shore
To visit the children, rich and poor;
And don't suppose you'll understand
When say he comes from Sunshine Land!
All! that's the secret that you never knew,
But now you'll believe it is really true
When l tell you he comes from land of
spring,
Where million flowers are poisoning,
Where all is happiness and delight,
Where all is crowned with eternal light
A country which lies quite close at hand
From the garden fields of Sunshine Land!
It's there each year ne gathers the toys
For all the good children, the girls and the
boys
Whomever he thinks it is best to please;
And he fills their stockings and Christmas
trees.
For in that fair land for ever and ave
1t is one long rapturous Christmas Day!
And though he looks aged and very cold
His heart is as young as it was of old;
For he comes from a Sunshine Land above,
A Saint of Mercy, Saint of Love!

o month far famed! For festive days and
nights renowned,
Joy fraught, with hallowed benedictions
crowned
Life annual clearing house for retrospective
thought,
Where pensive memory recalls the smiles,
the tears,
The hopes and joys of youth, the loves of
vanished years.
And signs to see the havoc, sad, that Time
has wrought.
o hoary month. In regions of the North
and East
The song of the bird and ripping of the
brook have ceased,
And Natures thousand charms of summer
days have fed.
There Boreas reigns, fierce God of wind
and storms
And winter all of verdure, into brown and
white transforms
And leaves no trace of life and beauty sped.
0 happy month! When keen anticipation,
sweet,
Flies swift on wings of ardent love to greet
With gifts the friend, the lover or the kim
dred near.
As Winter closer draws his icy fettered
chains
The heart expands and love unsel6sh reigns
And speeds its largess to the ones most
dear.
Illustrious month of most illustrious birth!
Good tidings, peace and JOY to all on earth
A heavenly choir announced when Christ
was born.
No other birth such mighty portent bore,
This Prince of Peace whom heaven and
earth adore.
How thrills the heart at thought of Christ
