THINGS. THE BOYS LONG FOR
ances 20 Test Their Muscular Skill
or Endurance

WHAT shall he said of that blum
w dering kindness of home folk
that considers giving the boy only
presents OF such things as he actu-
ally needs? 1t is an outrage upon
the spirit Of Christmas to present him
with new shoes, ties. handkerchiefs-
something that he knows he will get
anyway-when his sleeping and wax
ing dreams for weeks before have been
filed with visions of tops. balls, guns
and magic lanterns. says Maud Sou
ders i'm the Woman's Home Compan-
ion. The most beautiful knitted muf-
fer womans fingers ever constructed
cannot compare with jack-knife with
four blades and corkscrew attach
ment, when exhibited over the back
fence TO a neighbor boy on Christmas
morning. Very soon after the days
Of kits boy reaches the age when
he yearns with his/whole soul after
any toy or contrivance that will test
his muscular skill or endurance. At
this age an appropriate present would
be a rawhide or rope lariat, such as
is used by the Buffalo Bill riders. A
pair of hand or arm stills will be re-
ceived with equal favor, and in the
same category comes a new fishing
rod, snow shoes, tennis racket, golf
clubs, a good ball. lamp or cyclometer
for his wheel, or even live pet. a
new dog, pair Of rabbits or guinea
pigs-something that he can pet and
train for his own.

Funny Christmas Habit.

There is not drug store, cigar shop
or barroom in the larger cities which
has not been made the storage room
for Christmas presents bought before
the rush sets in. The strange part OF
II is that every man who utilizes the
friendship of his favorite place round
the corner thinks hefis the only one
who thought Of the plan. Realizing
that the stores will be crowded. many
far-sighted heads of families bought
their presents week in advance, and
then. fearing the nature of the mystic
rious package would be discovered at
the Office or at home, they hit upon the
device of making cache in some re-
sort near home.

NO EUROPEAN DEMAND FOR
COTTON

The situation as to cotton is differ
ent in some respects. The price has
fallen more than that OF wheat, and
the statistical position is stronger. The
crop OF this year is less than the con
sumption OF the last year, which was
not nearly as large as it would have
been il the people of the world could
have bought the cotton goods they
wanted. The cotton crop is more de
pendent than any other crop we grow
upon world markets, aud it has been
depressed by the threatening condi-
tions which have existed in Europe
during the past six months. The price
during the coming year depends upon
order and buying power in Europe.
There is much to be said in favor OF
the policy OF marketing the crop grad
ually, for world markets are in no
condition TO take it rapidly. Senti-
ment throughout the cotton trades is
too pessimistic at the present time to
favor the buying OF cotton against flu
ture demands for goods-New York

Columbus, Ohio. Nov 27.-Thou-
sands OF Colored People who hocked
north by trainloads during the sum
mer, are returning south.
Disappointed by failure to find the
higher wages and better conditions
about which employment agents glibly
talked, their old employers say they
are eagerly seeking to return TO the
work they left.
Many declare their higher pay was
more than counter balanced by in
creased living costs in industrial
cities City chaps often found their
wages in northern cities did not equal
their pay in southern cities
Reports received by local employ
metn bureaus show that 250.000 Ne
groes went north during June, July
and August, this year. There was
considerable Colored migration al
most from the start OF the war.
Tennessee. Arkansas, Mississippi,
Georgia, Alabama and Kentucky were
chiefly hit by the Negro migration,
Mississippi showing an actual decrease
in population.
The supply OF labor in Mississippi
is estimated TO have been cut 50 per
cent during the summer
According to K. C. Wells, of the
Memphis Employment Bureau. and
railroad men, the migration has now
almost completely stopped, while the
return movement is growing so heavy
that. IT it continues at its present rate,
about IS per cent OF those who left will
have returned before the end of the

BIG COAL SUPPLY
TN NEW ENGLAND
NO SHORTAGE IN UNITED
STATES, SAYS EXPERT.
President of National Coal Associs-
ton Appears Before Committee
From Senate.

New York, Nov. 4.-D. H. Wentz
of Philadelphia, president of the Ma
tional Coal association, composed OF
b:tuminous coal operators, declared
there was no shortage CT bituminous
coal in the United States, in his tes-
: timony here today before the United
States senate committee on recon-
stsuction and production, investigat-
ing the coal situation.
"The production OF bituninous
coal for the month of October, 1920.
is practically the same as for Octo-
Der, 191s," he said. ".At that time
/, Tremendous effort was made to have
! each miner mine all the coal possible
because Of the war. The tonnage for
October of this year, without any
special effort, is about the same as
1913"
Mr.. Wentz said there is such "a
great supply of coal in New Eng
land" that many OF the conIractofs
have stopped shipments. on their con-
tracts. He also declared that both
spot prices and contract prices as
they are now are fair and reasonable.
He also testified that coal shipped
to Europe is being sold on a IL
month contract for $3.50 a ton. He
was asked by Senator William. E.
Calder, chairman of the committee,
why that price should not prevail
throughout the country, and he re-
piled that comparatively small per-
centage Of bitunlinous coal goes to
Europe.

Reply For Miss Scuthard

,, There was an article in a previous
issue of the News written by Ruth
, Southland, wishing I could write a
little sketch of Mrs White-Clark
Yes, the Mrs. Clark is the Mrs. White
that Ruth Southland knew years ago.
/ was about six years old when |
first went to school to Mrs. White.
She was my first teacher We lived
on the place that is now called the
Sky High Fruit farm and Mrs.
Whites house was a few rods south
Of where the road turns to 20 to
the Messenger shore at Devils Lake,
on the East Sank road Her house
was a log one and had two rooms. Iii
one she lived and kept house with her
jagged mother; the other was fitted UP
with benches around the wall, and
there is where she taught us our first
"ABC's." Mrs. White and her moth
er, Mrs. Harrison, both seemed verv
old to us-perhaps cider than they
really were
A few years later came the hop
craze, and she, like all the rest, had
a hop yard. This particular year |
remember well. Mrs. Whites hops
were ready to pick, and not being able
to hire pickers, my father, Mr.. John
Weidenkopf and Mr. Southland, goI-
unteered to take their families and
pick the hops for her. She insisted
on giving the dinner. We all arrived
at her home about six o'clock in the
morning, as we wanted to get
through by night. She was up and had
her dinner all prepared for cooking.
What took my eye most was num-
Der Of pans Of soda biscuits which
were ready for the oven. She said she
always let them rise, as they would
be better
During the morning she was called
to town on business and left Mrs.
