Another man asked him: What are

as she rode along.
There was talking doll, too. She
sang and talked when they pushed the
buttons on her dress.
There were hot dolls for cold nights
and cups and balls for the Old Folks
to play with when they could not
sleep.
The Ola Folks all played with their
presents. They blew on their horns,
and amused themselves with the jump

running about the room all at once
But, after all, the Old Folks thought
Ii wasn't so very much fun because
there were no real children there. So

on his head, he would walk across
the room upon his hind legs.
After Lucy came Peter.
Peter said that he did not know any
stories. but once he carried the flag
for the big boys baseball team and
they let him go in to see the base
ball game, free.
Then Billy told story.
He said that once he sat up all
night, waiting for Santa Claus to come
and fill his stocking. That is. he
tried to sit up all night; but Santa
Claus didn't come and so he fell asleep
In the dark The next day the doctor
came to zee him. The doctor told him
he had had "stockingitis."
Billy said, too, that when he woke
up In the early morning and found
that Santa Claus had forgotten to I'LL
his stocking. he was going to throw
himself on the floor and pound his
heels on It and hOller. But then he

Mary told about the songs she sang

liked the best was:
The little dog went to the market town,
With one foot up, and one foot down;
But when he came to a muddy place
He jumped cle-e-e-an over!
p Mary said that she always jumped
her doll at the Jump" part.
Sally thought that it was long
time since she had known story,
"'mOst as long cs the night before
Christmas" but she did remember
a ride she once had on a little donkey.
She said they hSd to send the old
donkey on ahead to make the little
donkey hurry.
Then she remembered about the cats
at her grandma's house, There was
big cat for the big mice, and a little
cat for the little mice.

A decision from the band syndicate

proximately $4,000, 900 would become
available for northwestern farmers, is
expected within the next few days, E.
G. Quamme, governor of the st. Paul
Federal Land bank, said. Sale of the
bonds soon, Mr.. Quamme said, would
make it possible to make first loans
from the 100000 fund by the middle

the United States supreme court EN-
powered the federal land banks to pay
5 per cent on bonds and charge 6 pei
cent on mortgages.
Pending decision by the bond syndi
cate which may underwrite the issue
Mr.. Quamme refused to outline spe
officially the plans Of the northwestern
land bank other than to say that &C
commodation would be extended tc
farmers as rapidly as reasonable loan
applications could be approved.

GERMANY MUST PAY
Allies Demand Equivalent of 20
Billion Gold Marks.
Preparations Commission Tells Berlin
to Garry Out Article 235 of the

carry out article 235 of the Versailles
treaty, which stipulates Germany must
pay before May l. 1921, the equivalent
of 20, 1000, 900, 900 gold marks. The
treaty provides that this payment may
be made in gold, commodities, ships,
securities or other valuables, and that
out Of this sum the expenses Of the ar
mics of occupation are first to be met.
The commission took steps to carry
out article 233 of the treaty, which
provides that Germany must be mott
fed before May l next the total
amount Of var damage imposed upon
her by the treaty.

"If Germany persists in refusing to
make payment" says the Petit Pari-
sien, "she will force us to impose upon
her. the integral execution of the
treaty. That was the significance of
the meeting"

immediate discussion of interpretations
on the recent reparation negotiations
in London.
