up this deficit by letting rs adver-

submit that you cant find IN East
Texas another small town paper IN
the same class with the Banner for
less than $3.50 per year In many
parts of Texas, particularly the
West and Southwest, small town pa
pers with by no means so good
news service sell at $500 per year,
and in few instances even higher.
Again the Ladies' Home Journal
and the Saturday Evening Post are
sold to their subscribers at price
that will not even pay half the cost
Of the white paper in copy. Why
will these shrewd publishers then
sell millions Of copies Of their pub

do Il TO keep their circulation up IN
TO the millions. With a circulation
of near two million copies they can
sell a page Of advertising for $500
to $4,000; and. if they print that
page in colors they can sell It for
$4,000. But the small town papers
circulation is limited and it can't
sell its space at price that VIII
justify its selling its subscriptions
at a loss.
So theer you are: To compare the
subscription price of small town
paper with the Dallas Semi Weekly
News, or with some great national
magazine, and by that reach a con
clusion as to their values is All un-
fair, improper way Of arriving at

WEST TEXAS NEEDS AN a. & Nj.

Tarrant county's delegation TO the
Democratic states convention at San
Antonio will urge a plank in the
platform pledging the party to a
creation of a West Texas Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College of the
first rank. The Republican state
platform already pledges such can
didates of that party as may be
elected to the same thing. But the
Democratic party has the power to
put the plan into execution, though
II is something that an West Texas,
irrespective Of partisan affiliations,
desires.

too.
Santa Claus smiled to himself as he
read that. Yes, he thought Gwen was
big enough this year.
Then Teddy wanted a train with an
engine which had headlights. That
would be particularly nice, he thought.
And he hoped Santa Claus had been
well all through the year and hadn't
caught any cold up so far North. He
had had a cold himself for a while in
the fall but 1t was all gone now.
Then there was a letter from Rose.
Rose was a friend Of animals She
was so devoted to them and loved to
know all the interesting things they
did. Rose wanted q book about ami
mails. He would be sure that she had
this too.
There was q letter from Anne and
she wanted a book about the fairies.
Well, she would have this book by all
means. Anne hoped that Santa Claus
would find time to get home so he
could have q good hot dinner on Xmas
day. That was very kind and thought
full In Anne.
There was q letter from Maggie and
she asked for dates and grapes and
oranges and candy. Dear little Mag
gle! How he did love her. And Mag
gle was always asking for good things
to eat. Maggie was 20 cunning and
30 sweet.
Little Eugene had asked for q train.
He wanted one with stations and
bridges and signals and tunnels II that
was possible, but II not. he would be
glad to have a train of cars and an
engine, or just an engine and coal cart
and one coach would do.
That was like little Eugene. He

big and beautiful present IL he wanted

things he had to attend toy or he
would be quite happy and quite salts

Santa Claus was very fond of him.
He was 80 perfectly natural and
CHEEKY and jolly.
But as Santa Claus read the letters
over again and made notes on his
great lists which he now had hanging
along the walls Of his workshop he
said to himself: at does Santa's
heart good to read the letters but oh.
how they amuse me, too. They tell me
that they've been so good and of

they tell me that their mothers and

Treasury Remains Intact
After Day OF Suspen-

Started By Commissioner
IRepublican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, May 26-The
treasury remained intact tonight after
day of explosions in connection with
the removal or A. D. Sumner of Iowa,
former deputy commissioner and
Major C. c. Childs of Ohio, former
supervisor of collectors. Both We're
appointees of Assistant Secretary
Dover anl were removed by revenue
Commissioner Blair, acting with the
approval of Secretary Mellon, and
upon the recommendation of the sim
plification board for the consolida-
ton of the accounts unit with the
supervisor of collectors office.
Carrying the signatures of more
than dozen Ohio congressman, pc
tition addressed to President Harding
was presented at the White House to-
day by Representative Foster, Ohio,
regrett ng the dismissal of Major
Childs and asking that his abilities
be utilized somewhere in the govern
ment service.
Almost coincidentally, Mr.. Blair an
nounceI the suspension of Samuel G..

niger, a clerk, pending investigation
into the affairs of the unit. Investl-
cation is being made. it was explained,
into the removal of papers from the
office OF Mr., Sumner after his dis
missal which the bureau alleges were
official and Mr.. Sumner says are
personal.
At the same time 1t developed that
Joseph H. Shawhan, former assistant
TO Major Childs, had been transferred
TO Atlanta and f. p. Smith, another
assistant has been transferred to
Boston.
Although bureau officials were non-
committal as to the progress OF the
investigation, it was indicated at the
treasury that further suspensions
were possible before the incident OF
the removal of the papers would be
regarded as closed by the bureau.
An unexpected factor was injected
into the situation tonight by James
p. Schock of New Orleans. an ac-
countant of the income tax unit, de-
tailed for special duty with the ac-
count unit. which was Under Mr.
Sumner. who declared his room at a
local hotel had been searched by some
