Old Santa Claus

Old Santa Claus sat all alone in his den,
With his leg crossed over his knee,
While a comical look peeped out of his
eyes,
For a funny fellow is he.
His queer little cap was tumbled and
torn,
And his wig was all awry:
But he sat and unused the whole day
long,
While the hours went flying by.
He had been as busy as he could be
In filling his pack with toys;
He had gathered his nuts and baked
his pies,
There were dolls for the girls and
whips for the boys,
With wheel-barrows, horses and
drays,
And bureaus and trunks for Dolly's
new clothes;
And these in his pack he displays.
OF candy, too. both twisted and striped.
He had finished a plentiful store;
While raisins and figs and prunes and
grapes
Hung up on the peg by the door.
II am almost ready" quoth he. quoth
he,
And Christmas is almost here;
But one thing more, 1 must write them
a book,
And give to each one this year."
So he cIapped his specs to his little
round nose,
And Selling the stump of a pen,
He wrote more lines in one little hour
Than you ever could read in ten.
He told them stories, all pretty and
new,
And wrote them all out in rhyme;
Then packed them away with his box
of toys,
To distribute one at a time.
And Christmas Eve, when all were in
bed,
Right down the chimney he flew;
And stretching the s~tocking-leg at
the top,
He clapped in a book for you.
Author Unknown.

Lose DUPONT Bonus By Rush To Buy
Furs

Thousands of duPont employees in the
dupont building were Jared when 1t
became known that the extra 20 per
cent bonus which was to hav been
granted by the powder company would
not be forthcoming.
The proposed bonus was withdrawn,
it is said. after the directors learned
that the women clerks had started
"plunging' in furs. The directors felt
that as they had planned to grant the
extra bonus to offset the high cost OF
living, buying of expensive furs by the
women clerks indicated they were not
worried by the high cost of living. The
proposed bonus was then withdrawn.
The fact that the furs had been or
dered came to the directors notice
when investigators for New York and
Philadelphia stores began inquiring
as to the standing of the women
clerks. In some cases it was found
that stenographers had ordered $500 fur
coats and others costing 5000 were
numerous. Hundreds of these orders
have been hastily countermanded.

OVER THE RIVER
Heaviest Christmas Buying

Merchants in Wilmington declare
that the revenues derived this season
from Christmas shopping are higher
than ever before in the history of their
establishments, Notwithstanding the in
creased prices.
One of the jewellers of Wilmington
said that the people do not seem to
realize the value of the dollar. that
they are spending right and left, re-
CARELESS of the prices. especially mems
gifts in the jewelry line. This he at
tributes to the fact hat a great many
of the men who were overseas have
returned.
A membe of the firm of a large
music store said that their business
had increased ct least one-third and
would have been more il they had been
able to get the necessary stock.
Statements from one of the mems
furnishing stores say that they have all
the business they can handle and that
the people are spending every cent
that they have" and that this is one
of the best seasons the store ever had.
One of the members of a firm oper-
ating a large department store said
that their customers were buying more
this year and of the better grade, not
being contented with the cheaper arti-
cles. He said that those who bought
articles for so or rs cents last veal are
buying the same thing his year, but
of a better grade and paying $1.50 and
So. He also stated that their stock of
toys went faster h ever, that at this
date last year they had sold but half
of the stock, while this season the
shelves are almost empty now. This
is due, to the fact that the people are
taking more and more every year to
the shop early" education.
Statements from another department
store say that their trade is increased
this year and that their patrons are
buying of the better grade, regardless
of the price.
Summed up briefly, the people of
Wilmington seem to have more money
this year and are spending more law
ishly than ever before, wanting the
better class of articles, notwithstand-
ing the costs.

Conta gious Hospital Planned

A hospital for the exclusive treat
ment of contagious diseases, an institu-
ton the need of which has long been
felt by Wilmington and Delaware, and
which has recently been emphasized,
is in prospect, as a result of the acqul-
sition for the Physicians and Surgeons
Hospital of another block of the Mckay
estate. The block which has just been
acquired includes the old homestead OF
the Mckay family, a large two-story
building of substantial construction. IL
is this building which it is proposed to
offer the city for use as a hospital for
contagious diseases. 1t is said that the
cost of making changes necessary for
it's use for his purpose will not be
very great. The contamination of the
deal will insure the proper care TOT
cases requiring isolation, concerning
the lack of which Wilmington has been
subjected to considerable criticism. 1t
will also mean an addition to local
hospital facilities which will place the
city on a par with many metropolitan
centers in this respect.

Plenty of Fish and Oysters

Large quantities Of rock fish are be-
ing caught at Broadkiln by anglers.
according to reports in Wilmington.
Consignments made to the city markets
within the past few days have netted
the fishermen big sums.
Until two or three days ago.. OYSTER
men were able to get more shell fish
than they could handle, and 1t is said
there are more prime oysters in the
beds than can be taken out before the
season closes. The oysters are retailed
by dealers in different towns in sussex
County for 60 cents the five-eighth bas-
ket, and when opened will produce
about two quarts.

100000 ACRES WILL
 BE CULTIVATE
One of Worlds Largest Farms Wit All Mechanical Equipment
 For Work.

Great Falls, Mont, Feb. 22.-WhesS will be harvested next fall from on of the worlds largest farms oonlprid ing about 100000 acres of IndiaI lands in Montana and Wyoming. q this big tract, about B, ,000 acres d irrigated land have been plowed anl seeded, and the remainder it is a1 nounced will be cultivated during tn coming summer.
 The land is located on the Crow Blackfeet and Fort Peck reservation m in Montana and the Wing River red ervation in Wyoming. To make thi land productive a corporation witt S2.OOO,OOO capital was organized laS spring when Thomas D. Campbell, North Dakota farmer, conceived th| idea of cultivating the thousands o acres of the Indian lands in Monban n; and Wyoming. He lacked capita but obtained the approval and assist alce of the secretary of the interior Franklin B. Lane, and J. P. Morgan and other leading New York bankers The corporation was then formed witt several of these bankers as member of the board of directors and MT Campbell as president.
 On thlS huge 1afm not horse VII be used. Instead, large tractors ca pa ble of turning over large quantities of prairie sod were purchased. II all 5 of these machines are now tn, property of the corporation, and tht blowing record for last summer wa more than one acre a minute for tn, working time. On one day 1,88t acres were turned and broken.
 It is proposed to organize the farm into 5000 acre units, each with it. own group of permanent buildings modernly equipped and in charge of 2 competent farm manager. Each farm will be separately managed. Con. tracts for the leasing of the land or long term agreements have been ex. ecuted with the government through Secretary Lane.
 Many acres of similar land exist ir practically all of the Pacific coas states as well as in Colorado, ant steps are being taken to open thar land to the returning soldiers. Nc steps have thus far been taken ir Montana to invite soldiers to settle or the uncultiVated land.

poHe1ltS or 9llles si3D1S1eNifSi, AddS DeSH7 Working constantly in Bolshevik ter- ritory for the past year. He planned the capture of YaroslaV last=J uly, a movement which threatened the over throw of the Moscow government for a time and was put down by the BOl- sheviki at great cost of life and SUD- plies.
 Although the Bolsheviki put a high price on Savinkoff's head, he man. aged to escape them through various disguises and subterfuges and left Russia by way of Siberia, coming from Nladivostok directly to France by sea. His activities extended into nearly every section of Russia and he had many narrow escapes. Of all the prominent social revolutionists who have been pitted against the BOlshe- vik regime, Savinkoff is said to be the most feared by Lenine and Trotzky. He figured prominently as one of the most dreaded terrorists under the i'm perial regime.
 Marie Spiridonova and scores of other members of anti -Bolshevik fac tons have done heroic work within the past nine months which resulted in instructions against the Bolsheviki, so the members of the Russian com mittee say but the Bolsheviki have controlled the Russian news so thor Oughly that the outside world has known only of the movements which assumed big proportions in districts within telegraphic reach of foreign neWspapers

DEPTH BOMBS EFFECTIVE.
Undcrsca Explosives Wrecked Many
 German UndcrSca Prowlcrs

German UndcrSca Prowlcrs.
 London, Feb. 22-Depth charges in the opinion of many officers en- gagged in submarine hasing, were the chief factor in checking the German submarine campaign. The war had gone on for nearly two and a half years before the depth charges were traWlers dragged mines about on ca bles in an effort to strike submarines and used other equally dangerous and futile devices.
 But the perfected depth charges, so arranged that they could be timed for explosion at any desired depth. solved the problem of the small chaSers which were fighting the submarine. TraWlers with sufficient speed could danger zone. The mortality among the submarine chasers immediately dropped and the seas became very un safe for the sensitive underseas craft.
 One of the novel devices adopted by the British for the coordination of the efforts of trawlers and submarlneS has just been divulged. X trawler would drag a submarine by cable and maintain communication with It by telephone. When the traWler sight ed a German IT-bOat, the British sub marine would slip it's cable and at- tack the German boat before the sur prised Germans could submerge or prepare to give fight.
