Twas the night before Christ
mas, when all through the
house
Not a creature was stirring, not
even mouse;
The stockings were hung by the
chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon
would be there;
The children were nestled all
snug in their beds,
While visions Of sugar-plums
danced through their heads
And mamma in her kerchief, and
in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for
a long a @inter's nap
When out on the lawn there
arose such 8 clatter,
l sprang from my bed to see
what was the matter.
Away to the window / flew like
a Hash,
Tore open the shutters and
threw up the sash.
The moon, on the breast Of the
new-fallen snow,
Gave luster Of midday to OBJ
jects below;
When what to my wondering
eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh and eight
tiny reindeec.
With little old driver, SO lively
and quick,
1 knew in a moment it must be
st. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his
coursers they came
And he whistled and shouted and
called them by name:
"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer!
now, Frances and Vixenl
On, Comet! on, Cupid; on, Don
der and Bitten!
To the top Of the porch, to the
top of the WALL
Now, dash away, dash away,
dash away ALL"
AS dry leaves that before the
i wild hurricane fly,
When they meot with an obsta-
Gle, mount to the sky,
So, up to the house-top the
coursers they flew,
With a sleigh full Of tops,-and
st Nicholas, too.

President Obregon May
Reorganize His

take up the duties of the office.
General Hill was a native of
Sinaloa, but had lived in Sonora
the greater part of his life.
according to biographical
sketche in the newspapers here,
his early education was impaired
in Sonora, but it was finished in
schools in France and Italy. Re-
turning to Sonora, he engaged in
agriculture in the Mayo delta,
making his home at Navojoa.
Early in the Madero revolution
against Diaz he espoused the
cause Of the revolution and
reached the grade of colonel in

Madero. With Obregon and
Gales he rebelled against the

pousal of the revolutionary
cause, taking over his troops,

ranza, and hastsned complete
success of the movement that
made De la Huerta provisional
president, and now has made
Obregon president. From the
beginning of the presidential
canvass he was a strong adher-

at 45 years.
It is stated that General Hills

ptH8@ THE NIGHT AeeAG9
CHRISTMAS

And then in twinkling l heard
on the roof
The prancing and paving of
each little hoof.
AS | drew in my head and was
turning around,
Down the chimney st Nicholas
came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur from
his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tar
nished with ashes and SCOT !;
A bundle Of toys he had funk
on his back,
And he looked like a peddler Just
opening his pack.
His eyes, how they twinkled! /! his
dinples, how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his
nose like a cherry;
His droll little mouth was drawn
up like q bow,
And the beard on his chin was
as white as the snow.
The stump of a pipe he held
tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his
head like a wreath.
He had a broad face, and a lit
tie round belly :.
That shook, when he laughed,
like bowl full of jelly.
He was chubby and plump--a
right jolly old elf
And I laughed whan I saw him,
in spite Of myself.
A wink of his eye and a twist of
his head
Soon gave ME to know I had
nothing to dread.
He spoke not word, but went
straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then
turned with a jerk,
And laying a finger aside of his
nose,
And giving a nod, up the Chin
ney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his
team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the
down Of a thistle;
But ] heard him exclaim, ere he
7 drove out of sight:
Happy Christmas to all, and
I to all a goodnight

TOYS 7 COST
MUCH IN
ENGLAND
Germany Makes Most
of Presents for
Children
London, Dec %.

The third Christmas since
the piping days of peace finds
poor pa still paiyn gthe piper.
A survey of the shops, aristo-
cratic and democratic, proves
that prices remain in pretty
much the same place as they
were last year. Such things as
dolls houses, dolls perambula-
tors, children's tricycles and
-seooters are priced just as high
as in 1919, which means that for
the ordinary citizen they are
out of reach.
Numbers of German toys have
been importd but these are of
the smaller variety, such as
clockwork engines, motor cars,
etc. However, they are finding
a ready sale, for Britain has not
yet learned to compete with Ger
man yin the matter of price.
There is small doubt but that
Germany will reap a goodly har-
vest from what the British
child calls Stocking presents
comprising all the small things
which give those exciting bulges
from the toe to the knee of the
stockings which Santa Claus so
kindly fills each year.
The Christmas trees, too,
will be bedizened with frost and
sparkling ornaments which hail
mostly from Germany.
For the most part, parents
here saem to satisfy themselves
with the knowledge that the
war is over and are buying indis-
criminately, without looking at
trademarks, just the things
which they know will gladden.

WILLIAM FARNUM HERE
IN "IF l WERE KING"

Extensive preparations are
being made at the Star Theater
for the appearance of William
Farnum in eff / Were King" the
William Fox spacial screen pro-
duction based on Justin Huntly
McCarthy's famous play in
which E. H. Sothern made a tre-
mendous hit.
eff I Were King" opens here
tomorrow.
There is something about JUS
tin Huntly McCarthys' story of
eff I We're King" that forever
fingers in the memory-not only
because the play was a success,
perhaps, but also because t he
book was 80 widely read.
How many parsons can re-
member the plays in which Mr..
Sothern has scored success? Yet
you will find that if you men
tion Sothern's name you will get
the response: ooh, yes, he
played in If Were King" "
William Farnum has done
some splendid work for the
screen. His pictures are always
worth seeing; but when he ap-
pears in a story like eff I Were
J King" he stands out above all
other film stars.

SAY SULTAN IS NOT
 SUCH A BAD OLD BOY
People Of ConStantinople Think
 He's Pretty Fair

Constantinople, Jan. 2.-People of Constantinople call the Sultan, Meh- med VI, "a nice harmless old man. v Mehmed VI. is the last enemy emper- or left. the man whose temporal pos sessions are at stake in the making of peace.
 The Padishah, or Father of All the Sovereigns of the Earth,'' is short, grey haired, ratEer toop-shouldered, dark eyed, with short white nous tache set under the characteristic peaked nose of the Turk. Bereft of good counsellors, worried by the ac- tions of Moustapha Renal Pasha leader of the Nationalists, Mehmed is in a quandary as to how to save his people and his throne. At that he doesn't worry too much, thanks to the pervading oriental spirit of fatalism.
 Every Friday, the Turkish Sunday a crowd of Mussulman pilgrims and foreigners gather to see him go to prayer. The ceremony takes place outside the palace gates of Yildiz, on the hills of Pera just above the Bos- phorus. There are the Sultan's off cial offices and also his harem in a flower garden part of an immense park.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Flgures com piled by the statistics branch or the general staff on illiteracy in the emer- gency army show that probably '.o per cent of the entire force was 1lllterate and TIA relatively illiterGte,
 The figures are based on total O. 4O9O.O0O men. Of this total 3ll,oOo are classed as wholly illiterate and 712,OOO as relatively illiterate, an az gregate of 1,023,000.

 The Sultan bows right and left, in response to the acclamations, looks towards the terrace where are ranged the foreigners, and bows pleasantly to them. The distance to the mosque is passed, then at the door of the mosque he steps out; from the inter- for is heard a chant of a male chorus, and he disappears. Directly the gen. eral Mussulman public is permitted to enter at another door of the mosque to take place in the prayers which continue for a half hour. Meanwhile the foreign visitors disperse; their curiosity in the Successor of the Prophet satisfied.

'TURkEY'S WAR DEBT
 COMPARATIVELY LOW
Ottoman Empires Liabilities h.
 creased But Little in War

ConStantinople, Jan. 2.-The war debt of the Ottoman empire is said by experts to have increased less than that of any other nation. Her bond ed indebtedness was increased by only one new loan of about $50, 1000. Aand, adding to this other increase in Obligations such as home military acquisitions and advances from Aus tria and Germany. her war expenses ran to only O,OOO,0OO. Conse- quently, allowing for various offsets, her postwar indebtedness amounts to about $1,000, 100000.
 This would make it appear that Turkey iran the war on a shoe string" financially, as compared to Great Britain with hcr $40.000. .Q00,000 war debt, or France with S30,000.- s000,00O, and the United States with $25, 5,000,000,000 and Italy with pos- sibly S15, 5,000.000,000. It will be re- T called that on paper the Ottoman en- pire mobilized nearly 100000 men. yet she escaped with something like the war expenses of a country like little Rumania or Bulgaria.
 '. The record of the Turkish war in- debtedness is unique. The empire met war costs by acquisitions and by printing in Germany 1 55 900, 900 Turk ish paper pounds, or normally about S6S0,000,000 but this, according to the experts cannot be considered a gov ernment liability. .... .-..-.....z.
 It is not a financial burden as it bears no interest, end also the proper administrative body of the peace con ference can at will have it cancelled. < Turkeys raper money, it is claimed. has not depreciated as much as that of her Allies CounteTeiters do not seem to have operated here extenslve- ly due, to the lack of Bolshevism and good printing presses In Mesopotamia fl'urkish paper money is refused since the British occupa tion, which the Turks do not consider fair since the paper money was issued for the whole of the Ottoman empire which made war as a whole.

THE cox "HOLLER"

The real reason for Governor Cox's ex-
travagant charges and bitter TRADE con-
corning gigantic Republican slush fund
lies in the failure of large contributors
to Democratic campaign Golfers in other
years to heed the call this time. Ed
That the Democratic drive for money
has been failure, particularly in New
York, was evidenced by the recent an
nouncement by George White, chairman
of the Democratic national committee,
that the Democrats have been able so far
to raise less than 100000 for their cam
paign expenses. Governor Cox kept quiet
and dOcile on the subject of money until
it became apparent that the old time
flow of money into the Democratic cam
paigi treasury had been cut off some
where close to Wall street. Then "the
Democratic nominee let out an awful
holler."
Chairman White made this announce
ment of Democratic campaign figures in
connection with denial of charge by
Representative Fred A. Britten of Illinois
that 900 appropriated by the British
Parliament to be used by the British En-
bassy in Washington for entertainment
purposes had found its way into the DEM
ocratic national committee. The fact
the Democrats have raised only 100000
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1920-09-09

is sufficient to prove the absurdity Of the
Britten statement, he said. The Demo
cratic chairman took advantage of the oc-
casion to compare his 100000 with the
100000 which Frederick w. Uphs'n,
treasurer of the Republican national COM
mittee, said had been. raised by the Re
publicans. Ag N,
: For some time it has been evident that
Governor Cox is "up against it, in the
matter of financing his campaign. VI
course he could do. it himself, simply by
spending some of his laid away millions,
but that would not be evidence of votes
coming his way. The facts are the Tam
NAMES which he represents and the Wall
Street bankers that financed the Wilson
campaign are not seeing eye for eye. Will
son, McAdoo, ct al are supporting the
governor with their carefully worded tel
egrams of congratulations, and OF course
will vote for him at the polls, but the
Wilson financiers along iwth Mr.. Wilson
are looking askance at Cox and his fellow
Tamnanies. And Tammany too is some
what shy. The governor has not got
squarely on to the wet band wagon yet,
and until he does so the Tanlmany "olp
will not be flowing so freely. Verify
Governor Cox is having a hard time to
"drive the other fellows machine"
But Cox is getting what is coming to
him in the matter Of his charges. Will
Hays and Fred w. Upham know just
what they are doing and have the matter
well in hand Upham says it takes mon
ey to run campaign and comes rightout
with the amount the Republicans expect
to raise This money is not dream mon
ey, he says, too. 1t was said in Paris
that Woodrow Wilson had single track
mind. Governor Cox may have double
track mind, but in this campaion he is
surely running on side track and within
short time will be fatally derailed.
