A CHRISTMAS DREAM.
An Original Poem by
ELSIE MARTIN

I had a dream on Christmas eve
A funny, funny dream;
I dreamed that I was Santa Claus;
How odd it all did seem
I sat in my jolly workshop
Surrounded by gifts and toys.
NV brain reeled as l counted Ger
The millions of girls and boys.
Hey. Jack. bring me my record book,
And pencil and paper too
II l get thu by Christmas
I've all that l can do
NV nimble secretary brought
My books in wondrous haste,
And I started checking Off the names;
/ had no time to waste.
turned the pages one by one.
There were billions, it seemed to me-
Chrildren from England, Spain and France
From Turkey and Italy.
Then came the book Of American kids,
Twas the biggest book of all;
My secretary stubbed his toe
And let the volume fall.
A page fell out I picked it up,
And gasped with deep dismay;
I rubbed my eyes and looked again
At what before me lay.
The black marks! Oh. the black marks!
rubbed my eyes once more .h,s
year,
Than they ever were before"
"They won't get much" muttered,
Except whip, mayhap."
wrote in the book moment
And closed it with snap
packed my bags, cleaned my plane,
And filled the tanks with gas.
kissed my wife and hurried off,
My. how the time does pass!
travelled many miles that night,
The sky was cold and clear
But tho my plane worked at Its best
/ missed my good reindeer
There were many, many stockings,
To fill with toys that night,
And so when I reached Oroville
The sky was growing light.
carried toys and sweets galore
For the names on that dreadful page
Were not of little children
But those of high school age.
In all their socks and stockings went
A birch switch, fresh and new,
With now and then lollipop
And perhaps lemon or two.
My daddy called me to arise.
/ awoke, and shed tear,
And promised truly that I'd be
A better girl next year.

lishment of its pre-war concentrated
production, and the $4,000 car increase
of October 1919 over that of October
1918 tells it's own story.
There are now employed in the Ford
shops in Detroit approximately 10000
men, $4,000 of which are working in
the main plant in Highland Park.
Demand Continues to Increase.
According to information from the
Home Office of the Ford Motor Com
pany, Detroit, their untitled orders are
continually increasing and have long
since ceased to be recokoned by the
thousands but are now a matter Of
hundreds of thousands and the pres
ent demand is not being met
Already Ford dealers in those states
where winter brings a slight decline
in the number of sales are advising
prospective spring purchasers to buy
now. Nothing but real orders will
bring cars to their trrritory. Southern
dealers and the foreign demand will
otherwise consume the entire output.

s7,251 FORDs BUILT IN OCTOBER.
Detroit Plant Sets New Record for
Production.

October was record breaking
month in the Ford Motor company's
home shops in Detroit. Production rec
ords showed a total of S7,25I automo-
biles assembled during the month. The
previous record was S3,706 cars for
May 1917; whereas the total cars pro-
duced during October 1918 was only
S,414.
These figures are especially signifl-
cant because they so clearly indicate
the success that has attended the Ford
Company's remarkable transition from
the manufacture of war materials to
those of peace times. Just as soon as
the Armistice was signed and cancel
lation OF government contracts were
received, the Ford Motor company
without decreasing the number of its
employees bent toward the reestab-

BALL AND BOXING
IN NEW LEAGUES
TO BE CONDUCTED

Fresno, CAL, March 17.-Plans
for baseball and boxing leagues to
operate on a large scale in the San
joaquin valley were formulated
here recently at q meeting Of ath-
letic directors of California Amer
lean Legion posts. Both leagues
will be controlled by the Legion.
The boxing plans Of the Legion
representatives contemplate an ele-
walton of standards of the game in
the valley and elimination so far as
possible, Of the professional pro-
moter. The towns to be included in
the boxing league are Fresno, Dinu-
ba, Delano, Stockton, Sacramento,
Visalia, Porterville, Tulare, Exeter,
MADEIRA, Hanford and Modesto.
The American Legion representa-
tives plan to work in harmony with
the San Joaquin valley baseball
league, in which it is reported some
posts Of the Legion are interested,
and will not attempt to enter the
towns included in the valley league.

That the Island Citys have shot

seen by their average Of about $50

Waco, Texas, March IMAM
ager Bill Gleason is wondering
where he is going to get ball club
to play his first exhibition. which
is only two days away. He is work
ing the material at hand to the
limit but finds himself about to
tackle two strong Texas league
clubs with not a regular infielder
in camp.
Only one substitute Is present,
so the first two days Of the White
Sox practice resembled a three
wheeled hose cart going to a fire.
The Sox were the last major
league club to report for practice
and, therefore, had to hurry faster
than their rivals to get into condi-
ton.
One Substitute ON Hand.
In spite Of this fact, Gleason has
yet to see any infield save Harvey
Mcclellan preparing for a long
siege of exhibition contests, start
ing Saturday. Mcclellan last year
was only a bench warmer and, in
fact, was a substitute once remov-
ed. Since the Federal league war
days big league manager seldom
has found himself in such an unen-
viable position.
OF pitchers there IS superb
abundance, in fact. Faber, Will
liams, Kerr, and Wilkinson report
ed in exceptionally good condition.

five innings right now without dis

Cub camp has frightened bit with
the possibility that Herzog may be
able to keystone the infield at the
start Of the season after all, by
postponing his prescribed anat-
omical carving. Yesterday the
Cubs licked the Angels in a bene-
| fit game, 9 to 4, but it didn't count
in the cup series.
When news Of Herzog's ailment
was slipped to William Wrigley
Jr., and Ad Lasker, owners of the
Cubs, the latter made a date with
a super-specialist on anatomy and
! had the second baseman examined
again. The revised verdict was
that Herzog would be unable to
indulge in any violent exercise for
at least three months if he under
went an operation now.
