GREAT FACTOR IN DEMOCRATIC VICTORY

A statement issued by the demo- cratic national committee contains this tribute to the weekly press.
 ''In assessing credit for the great democratic victory of Tuesday, Mo- there was no more important factor than the democratic and independent weekly press.
 "Since the republican administra- ton came into power, the democratic and independent weekly press have given to their readers the main facts concerning congress and the admin istration, so interpreted that the read CTS obtained the meaning of the news as well as the news itself. In the most remote sections of the country the readers of the weekly papers have been kept constantly informed of the issues of the campaign. That these issues were understood and intelli- gently acted upon is shown by the vote i1 rural sections of the country.
 ''In addition to giving their readers the high lights of the national news, the weekly press have editorially dis CuSSed II0 1SSOCS O1 LIi0 Cdulp HI a most convincing and effective man. ner. They have rendered not only service to the democratic party, but to the public.
 'fIt may be we'll doubted if any other form of publication is so thor oughly read and so well digested as the weekly newspapers, and certainly no other publications have more sim cerely at heart the welfare of tlleir respective communities. As rule their characteristics are a rugged honesty, high courage, clear and plain speaking, and, with few excep- tions, they accurately and fairly re- fleet public sentiment within the rad jus of their circulation. The future of America will always be secure as long as the country press remains true to it's record and it's traditions"

might te the side of a mountain, and if he could get up high enough he would come to daylight.
 He slid down several times, got badly scratched on branches, but that didn't bother him in the least. He was determined to get out of the forest. The mountain proved to be quite high and after an hour or so of climbing Ralph sat down to rest in the snow. As he rested, he took a good look at what was before him. What was that up on the top? Why, it looked like . hut, sure enough-a place where he could rest, get something to eat and get warm.
 Ralph didn't rest long, he wanted to get to the hut. It was a queer little place, he found upon reaching it. It looked as though puff of wind would be enough to blow it over.
 Ralph knocked at the door very gently for fear of knocking the house down. The door opened, but Ralph started back with surprise, for the object before him had a bulls head and horns, and a mans body, cloven hoofs and a long tail.
 "Weil, my boy" said the creature. "what are you here for? Did you come to help me? I usually have some boys come about Christmas time" Ralph gave a shudder. So this was his beloved Santa Claus, who looked and talked like this. Why hadn't someone told him?
 'Who are your" stammered Ralph, getting up his courage. Are you Santa Claus?'
 The creature burst out laughing It sounded like thunder. He held his

It is, therefore, urged that anybody who has filed claim for compensation but who is not sure that vocational training was requested send a signed statement before Dec ember 18th, to the effect that such vocational training is desired.
 Such statements need not be word ed in any particular way but may be merely a letter stating the writer be- lieves himself or herself to have q vocational handicap due to his Army or Navy service and that he desires vocational training, giving always the full name, address, rank and organiz- ation in which he served, compensa- ton claim number if the claim has been made, and it is important that the letter be dated. This communi- cation should be addressed to the United States Veterans Bureau, 134 South Central Avenue, Phoenix, and mailed before December II 9th, 1922.

 ''No, I can't stay" said Ralph, back ing away. "I am in quest of Santa ClauS.''
 The beast doubled up with laughter again. Ralph thought this an oppor- tune time to make his getaway, so he put on his skis and and started down the mountain. Dangerous? Anything was better than staying with that beast.
 Ralph seemed to be coming to a wall. He jumped, landed squarely and skinned along the Snow for a mile or more. Looking up Che hadn't had time to do this before), he beheld in front of him a great castle, covered with turretS and towers.
 "NOw, what have I gotten into?'' said Ralph, aloud. He knocked at the door and was admitted by two queer looking fairies.

New French Tariff Discriminates A rainst United States

Virtually all imports from the United States will pay higher rates of duty under the tariff which France is to put in operation on January 1, !, 1923. There is a disclaimer from French officials that the tariff is re- taliatory in it's effects on imports from America, but they admit that it will not apply to countries with which France has special commercial treat ies. The United States is not one of these countries.
 In practice the new French tariff will be discriminatory in respect to American imports, it is believed, since the United States is the solSrce from which France at present obtains cer- tain foodstuffs, materials and com modities that may hereafter be sup piled by other countries.
 The tendency of the new French tariff is admittedly to restrict pur chases in the United States and de- spite the disclaimers of French off cials it is believed to have been de- vised as an answer to the -Fordney- McCumber law.
