with the settlement o, the valuation
question the majority practically com
,1e,ed its many months of work on the
.o~;e measure. and it was stated that
- would be presented to the Senate
.;.bor on Tuesday or Wednesday, after
NO democratic members OF the COM
,,ittee had been given opportunity to
oos. their votes on the bill. The ma
;ority report also has yet TO be drawn
The valuation plan as adopted in
c,rdes several bolsterinc provisions
designed To take care of unusual stu
stions growing out of present world
conditions and, more particularly, the
marked depreciation of currencies in a
number o. foreign countries. These
nroyisions orc in line with recommen-
dstions made to Congress by President
Harding in his first annual message
last December.
Decision Left to President
Where investigation established the
fact that conditions existed in foreign
countries that enabled those countries
70 produce goods and sell them in the
United States after payment of duty at
iprices below the cost of producing and
marketing similar goods in this coun-
.try the President would be given au-
thori,y to increase any rate of duty by
80 per cent of the figure fixed in the
bill
Should investigation develop that
such procedure of increase on the for
eign valuation principle was too small
to protect American industry the
President would have authority to
transfer foreign valuation to the
American wholesale selling price of the
imported goods and then to increase
or decrease by 80 per cent the rates
fixed in the bill.
The President also would have the
right to change the classifcations as
fixed in the bill-that is, to rem owe items
from the free list to the duitable list.

Christmas Thoughts
Nj. c. ROBBINS.

Did you ever sit at Christmas.
Right beside the yule-log's glow
Thinking of the blessed Christ
child,
AS the moments come and go?
oh. we all should sure remember
Twas the day that gave Him birth.
Twas the day the angels whispered
Peace-good will to all on earth.
He was born in Bethlehems manger,
Came to save us, one and all;
And the blessed mother clasped Him,
To her bosom in the stall.
Oh. 1t was lowly birthplace,
But above a star did shine;
And it told unto the Wise Men,
Where to find the Babe divine.
Did you ever just imagine,
You could hear the angels sing;
Or could feel the air of Heaven.
AS they pass you on the wing.
There's no place like the old fireside,
Or the yule-logs genial glow;
That can place you right in dream
land,
Make your thoughts so freely flow.
So let's dedicate this Christmas,
And our thoughts beside the
hearth
To the Babe born in the manger,
To the gentle Christ-child birth.
It was cold that Christmas morning,
But the shepherds on the plain;
Sang a song of glorious welcome,
To the Babe of Bethlehem.

GARRICK TO REOPEN.

With the re-opening of the stock
season Christmas Day at the GarriclS

In the production of "The Broken

The story OF THE Broken Wing"
hinges about the operator of a huge
American airplane. The wing of his
plane is broken when he is in a flight
a few miles over the border in Mex

chine crashes through the side of
a little Mexican girls home. This
incident alone furnishes one of the
most thrilling stage effects that has
