STORIES WRITTEN BY WIDE
 AWAKES.
Christmas Day.

It was Christmas Eye when Old Santa halted his reindeers before a little weather beaten house. Not a soul was stirring within. The little ones were fast. asleep. dreaming of stockings full of toys and good things.
 Old Santa quietly slid down through the wide chimney with his pack. He first saw five stockings hung up by the fires de with a note pinned to the toe of each. Santa opened the first, and this is what he read:
 Dear Old Santa:-Please give me a nice warm coat and toque. You need not give me a lot of toys, only some clothes to keep me warm.
 Old Santa giggled as he passed to the next, and each one pleaded for some clothes. At last he came to the smallest and lost. He opened it and read:
 Deeres' santa:-Giv' me a nth nt- 1T cap an coat. an a nth pair O shoes so dat my toeses won fweeze. I tank va very much, Santa, I am fife yeas or.
 Santa would have burst out laugh ing. but he was afraid to wake the children. He unpacked his big sack noiselessly and took out a coat with trimmings of fur, and Q woolen toque and gloves, and a pair of stockings and shoes.
 Five such sets did Santa put on five chairs with the names on each He also gave each a little toy and then with wink and a giggle he flew" up the chimney and was of with his reindeers to the next "sta- tion.'
 h the morning when the five little children awoke they found unexpect- ed presents waiting for them. It just fairly took their breat1ls away as they beheld the wonderful gifts laid out be- fore them.
 But the oldest child, Catherine. had bought with her saved money a gift for each of her parents. Her father she. gave pair of very warm, wooler | socks, and her mother pair of warn

A Visit From St. Nicholas.


 Secrets, secrets in the air. Wee, sweet secrets. everywhere.
 It was the night before Christmas. E The ground was all covered with snow, and everybody was as happy as happy could be, because-oh, just be- cause. You see, I mustn't tell. It's a secret, and nobody tells secrets the night before Christmas.
 All the stockings stockings, lit- tie stockings, black stockings and white stockings-were hung by the chimney.
 Such fun as there was hanging up the stockings by the chimneyt Every body wanted the biggest and the long est. And everybody was sure St Nicholas would come and fill the stockings to the very tops with good things.
 Such merry. merry talk as there was about candy, nuts, toys, dolls, sleds and everything! Yes. everything you could think of!
 Then all was still. Everybody was in bed, because St. Nicholas never comes until everybody is in bed and fast asleep.
 All the children have to be "snug ir their beds" before good St. Nicholas starts out with his reindeer and sleigh and his bag of toys.
 How does he know when the chil- dren are all snug in bed?
 Oh, St. Nicholas knows; he knows every thing about children. Yes, St Nicholas knows everything about Christmas and children. He waits until they are ali snugly tucked in bed before he gets out his reindeer or puts his bag of toys 1T 1 his sleigh.
 I think he would wait all night ant not come at all if the children didnr go to bed, and to sleep, too. So yoJ see what children should do the nigh | before Christmas.

 A cheery Happy New Year from young or old always sounds as if it had a glad heart back of it, and that to our ears makes a very musical sound.
 Most folks do not realize it. but Un- c1e Jed assures you that more good can be done by doing good than in any other way.
 It is much better to be happy be- cause of what you do than because of what you get!
 The year 1920 is sure to bring you happiness if you do right-if you are kind and obedient and active. THE WINNERS OF PRIZE BOOKS 1-Louise Leber, of Plainfield-Mar- jorie Dean, High School Junior.

THE Sidewalks of New York." in
which they got both the band and
the pipe organ to join.

standards started moving in the
same direction while the crowd
and the band and organ switched
to Sweet Rosie O'Grady," and
"Ihe Bowery, The Bowery."
The rythm of the old familiar
tunes got the delegates into a mood

AS the band finally dropped into

on the convention floor would not
let it stop and the strains were
taken up repeatedly over and over
again. Finally every single state
standard on the floor fell into the
marching line.
1t was a sight that many old
timers said they had never seen
before. 1t was regarded generally
as a personal tribute to Governor
Smith and Bourke Cochran and
there were no suggestions that 1t
meant stampede 20 the standard
of the New York candidate. The
Cochran speech had got every one

of the old songs also seemed to
have been potent in working the
delegates into demonstration of
good feeling at time when in
most political conventions the lines
of antagonism and animosity be-

tightening.
Order Finally restored.
The demonstration in which the
galleries took virtually no part at
all. had been on for twenty min

ed out to restore order. He had
little luck, however. for the old
revival spirit seemed to be on the
big assemblage and they kept
breaking into the old tunes and
bringing the band and the pipe
organ laundering to their aid in
prolonging the demonstration.
Several times when things began
to get a little quieter some one
started another song that every
body knew and all bets were off
again. Nobody Knows How Dry
i AM" was one of the tunes that
seemed to arouse particular en-
thusiasm among some of the dele
cations.

JAPANESE SMUCCLED
INTO UNITED STATES
OFFICIALS HAVE LOCATED UN-
DERCROUND ROUTE. A MAS
TER SCHEME"

TACOMA, Wash.-Assertion that
an underground system by which
thousands of Japanese are snug
gled into the United States yearly"
has been located, was made here to-
day by Representative Albert John
son, chairman of the house subcOm-
mittee, which met today to look into
Japanese Sackivities in the north
west.
eve have found that the japanese
underground system begins at Yoka-
homa," he said. "From thence it
leads to Honolulu and extends across
the Pacific to Guyamas on the Gulf
of California.
Here, either by water or across
the border, the japanese invaders are
struggled into the United States. A
perfect system of escort has been es-
tablished whichh takes care of the de-
tails of the smuggling. Mexican
guards are known to have been brib-
ed with SO at the United States
Mexican border. The same system of
escort hass been established, both at
Yokahoma and Honolulu.
"Once the japanese is Struggled
into California he is taken in tow by
some member of the japanese associ-
alton. branches of which are in Ore
gon and Washington. He is taken to
the bank and his credit established
by a substantial deposit.

SUGAR TOURS 5000 MILES
FROM CUBA TO CHICAGO
Long Trip, Three or Four Profits and
Vicissitudes of Handling Are
the Causes of High Prices.

Chicago is approximately 1,400
miles from Cuba-as a crow flies.
But Cuba is approximately 5000
miles from Chicago-as sugar flies.
In that geographical tangle, Mr.. Ul-
innate Consumer, lies an explanation
of the price you have to pay at the
corner grocery for sugar.
When Chicago wholesalers buy di-
rectly from Cuban sugar growers and
federal authorities prevent specula-
ton the sweetening of your morning
coffee costs you about cents a pound
But just now Chicago wholesalers are
buying their sugar from Canadian
dealers, who received it from English
brokers, who exported it from Cuban
plantations.
Three or four profits, a 9,000-mile
tour and the vicissitudes of frequent
handling make the sugar cost the deal
er 80 instead of 7 or cents pound
Stanley Clare, collector of customs
at Chicago, threw light on the sugar
question when he announced that A.
10000 pounds of sugar had been inn
ported from Canada in recent weeks.
Virtually all of the can sugar now
reaching Chicago comes from Cuba
via England and Canada, the collector
said

"Then he goes out into the vine
yards or into the agricultural dis
tricts and hides for five years. AT
the expiration of this time he comes
out of seclusion. If he is questioned
by the government authorities as to
his residence here he can quickly
establish this by taking the author
tiles to the bank, where five years
before he made his first deposit.
This establishes his bona fide resi-
dence of five years as required by
the statute.
"The japanese association in the
various citiess make no record Tor
government observation of any
of these unlawful entries into the
country" he continued.
eve have found the records con-
fusing as to the numbers of Jap
anese in the United States. AS mat
ter of fact, it would be impossible
for the United States to take cor
rect census of the japanese popula-
ton, because the census takers could
not locate all the japanese here.
"These japanese associations pro-
tect their countrymen who are SNUG
gled in and we know it to be fact.
The United States authorities are
perfectly cognizant of a route OF
this underground system of unlawful
transportation and will do something
at once"

HORSE BADLY
CUT BY FALL
SPECIALISTS PRESCRIPTION
PREVENTS COMPLICATION.

In telling of the accident to his
horse Mr.. Luther Carmen Of Valley
Park, Mo-, stated: "My horse fell
down and cut his knees all up. l
dressed them with DR.. LeGear's An
tiseptic Healing Powder and they are
healing fine. It is wonderful rem
edy for healing sores on horses"
Mr.. Carmen is simply voicing the
sentiments of hundreds of others
who feel that having DR.. LeGear's
personal prescriptions on hand at
all times is nearly as good as having
DIR. LeGear where they could reach
him in a few minutes.
Wounds and sores must be taken
care of Immediately. Get a can OF
DIR. LeGear's Antiseptic Healing
Powder from your dealer. Dust on
enough of it to cover the wound or
sore. 1t forms a protection against
insects and infection and promotes
healthy healing-Dr. L. D. LeGear
