A TREAS( RER of one OF the church mis-
"a Sionarv denominations here in town sent
out n letter to some eighty subtreasurcrs
asking for the yearly reports of their sepa
rate accounts, to see il they agreed with the
ones made in her central Office. I was told
that surprising number had kept no ac-
counts and considerable number had kent
them but could not prove they were correct
by any data they had on hand. while very
few, had used any system in keeping their
books which would be recognized system
in ordinary business.

PSYCHOLOGY OF TOYS

VIHEN the supply Of German and Austran-made toys was shut off
w by the war, deaers in toys in America, and parents who buy
them thought they had encountered a world disaster. 1t was
feared that American ingenuity and especially American patience,
would never meet the test of the national toy demand.
American toy makers have demonstrated their ability to meet
the demand in all It's branches, not only In variety and ingenuity Of
toys mechanical, inanimate and lfeike, but also in toys expensive.
But il is doubtful whether 10y makers, toy dealers and parents
and others who buy toys for children have yet reached real toy
wisdom.
We watched d boy Of six, on Christmas morning, approach a
lighted Christmas tree beside which were the toys that Santa Claus
had brought him. The largest and most expensive gift Saint Nich-
ols had left for him went unnoticed for some time while he grasped
in delight at a Ave-cent tin horn and a group of wonderfully made
celuoid animals that cost a dime apiece.
Kindergarten teachers who have made play their life study say
children frequently derive more pleasure and benefit from simple and
inexpensive toys.
The BELIEF that a ehilds liking for a toy increases with the toys
size is an ilusion of adults.
An automatic toy has only a brief interest. For instance, one
that winds up and races in a circle. A child's greater interest is in
one whose operation he can direct and control.
Elizabeth Harrison, a national authority, says;
"The choice of toys should be based not so much on what a toy
is as what a child can do with il.
''The instructive delight in putting their own thoughts into their
playthings, instead of accepting the thought Of the manufacturer, er
plains why simple toys are often more pleasing TO children than ex-
pensive ones
There is no occasion to pity the child who has only simple and
inexpensive toys for Christmas
This child may have all the best Of il.

THE EMPTYc CHAIR

N ID learn with interest from an editorial in the Morning journal
~ that ga banquet is announced for next Tuesday tomorrow
" night, given in honor of Frank A llubbel by his political
friends
This, of itself, is an item of interest. 1t was news TO The Even
ing Herald. We were not invited. There was no special reason why
we should have been invited, or even informed of the festive occasion.
There is every reason, however, why the editor OF the Morning
journal should have been invited, and why the occasion viii be sadly
incomplete without his presence, his facle gift of speech and MS ac-
eustomed need of praise Tor our leading Empire Builder, whom he per
sonally discovered and personally conducted into a position of I'M
questioned, il temporary, prominence in the community.
Judge then of our surprise, not to say amazement, when we read
in the same editorial quoted above that
ave see no reason why those who desire to formally
recognize Mr.. Hubbel as their political leader should not do
so in any way they see fit. The journal recognizes no such
relationship and declines the invitation to have a representa-
tive present, except in a purely newsgathering capacity
What sort of a dinner party viii it be without the presence of
the Prophet Of that forward looking civic consciousness which no
later than last August discovered Mr. Hubbel our leading re-
formerf'
TO political leadership in this community be complete without the
Dawn Of the New Dayf
Isn't Mr.. Hubbell, our new county boss, about to assume command
on or about Saturday next, a part Of the Dawn Of the New Day. We
have the word of the Prophet, editorially recorded, that he is a part
of it.
What thenf Is he to be left bur a part; in suspense, as it were
an uniluminated empire builder and leading reformerf
That would cen 10 be the aate in store for Mr.. Hubbel For at
the formal observance OF mis- restoration to leadership there is to be
no Dawn of the New Day mot a single Benign Ray.
We believe public opinion will Se in sympathy with our feeling
first, for the political fortunes of the Prophet in connection with the
recent vigorous, If unsuccessful effort 10 rescue New Mexico from the
Prophet in purifying local politics; should thus be forced to the hu-
initiation of holding his inaugural dinner without the Presence; to be
Of the Dawn.
It IS Of course, the right Of the Prophet Of the Dawn Of the New
Day to refuse an invitation 10 a banquet where speeches are made,
although il is not his custom to so refuse.
But to thus publicly aaunt the refusal to thus advertise through
the far-hung columns Of the phantom fighter that the man it but lately
into outer darkness as unworthy to longer sun himself in the Pres
enee of the Prophet even in his informal robes of Editorial Aoofness;
ard to thus formally announce that the new boss is merely material
for newsgathering 5-al that, it seems to us as a wholly impartial and
dishnterested observer, is landing our fellow townsrnan and recog
nzed political leader, Hon. Frank A. Hubbell a pretty raw deal. We
resent it from our innermost soul.

prevented II from spreading in the
community; I have nothing but
gratitude towards this law, for hav-
ing the machinonery to accomplish
the stamping out of this disease, and
I do not chafe at my detention for
the safety OF the public. II seems
Unreasonable that any one should OBJ
iect to the administration OF this law,
evon nfter the venerenl disease
clauses shall he restored thereto, if
there Is an atom of parental love in
his heart.
My idea Is that there has always
been n great deal Of diphtheria spread
over this state, at this time of the
year, but. owing to lack OF machinery,
only the very severe caseg OF II have
become known, / do not believe that
this year has produced more dlph-
iberia than the average year, but
that It has produced less than many
years and that the knowledge of Its
existence comes from the aqministra-
ton OF our new health law.
Every person in this STATE of any
Influence with the legislature should
ask himself. "How Is disease TO be
stamped out without the knowledge
OF It's existence In the hands OF ma
chinery competent TO combat it?"
Yours truly.

Wagon Mound. N. NJ. Dec. 22.
Editor, Evening Herald.
Dear slr-The writer compliments
you on the attitude taken In your
editorial OF Sept. 81, or the needs OF
the state health department.
As the health bill was drawn and
introduced two year, ago, provision
was made for one-eighth of one mill
levy for It's support, which was estl-
mated would yield from SOS 100000 to
500, 10000 a year. and that would
only mengerly provide FOR adequate
administration. There is no doubt
hat the opposition of The Herald had
u great deal TO do with cutting out
the levy and substituting therefore
The paltry flat appropriation Of So
G6G.6G for the seventh fiscal year
and S13. 100000 for the eighth. Had
II not been for the valiant and cf-
fective work OF the New Mexico Pub
lie Health association, through John
Tombs, It's then secretary, in securing
from the federal authorities appro-
priatlons and service, and for the aid
given by the federal government In
this work, the department would
surely have functionod little more
than 4 did under the previous law,
because the work TO be accomplished,
could not have been scratched with
that amount of money. With the CO.
operation OF the federal government
and the officers provided by them.
and the awakening OF some counties
to the necessity OF employing full
time health officers, the work has
progressed greatly beyond the antici-
patlons OF those who dreamed of an
efficient health department TO be
awakened by the paucity OF the legis-
lature's financial support.
/ arr rejoicing that The Herald now
declares. There Is no longer any
question, either of the efficiency of
the department or of its power TO
greatly extend its usefulness II funds
are made available and trust that
you will keep the needs Of his de-
partment before the people In such
manner that there win be IA non-de-
niable call upon the Legislature for
ample provision for this department
at the coming session.

DRILL NEAR JORDAN
Contract With Jordan Company Pro-
vides That Work Must Start
April LIST or Sooner.

What is regarded as one of the most
important developments in the oil sit
uation in Garfield County transpired
last week when directors of the Gar.
field Development Company entered in
to a drilling contract with representa-
tives of the Mid-northern Company,
under the terms of which they will
start drilling on the Calf Greek struc-
ture not later than April LIST. Leases
held by the Garfield Development Co,
in the western part of the county
west and southwest of Sand Springs,
comprise approximately four thous-
and acres. Biologists have put their
stamp of approval upon the structure,
it is stated by officials of the company,
and now that one of the big company's
within within the next three months
begin actual operations to test out
the structure, the promoters are ,justi-
fled in the highest hopes.
