MEASURE COUPLES
GERMANY'S RELIEF
AND FARMERS AID
Bill Provides for ,000,-
100000 Loan to
Germany.

Washington, d. C., Feb. Soup
ling farm relief with relief for Ger
many, Senator H. o. Bursum, of New
Mexico, has introduced a bill proposing
a loan to the fatherland Of S1,000,00O,-
900 to be utilized In the purchase of
foodstuffs and raw material in the
United States. Conservative members
of the Senate do not anticipate the
bill will pass. None the less they are
watching it with considerable interest.
Under Senator Bursum's proposal the
credit would be advanced at a rate not
to exceed Sj0.000,00O a month, nor
more than $3jO,OOO,O00 in any one
year. This money would be disbursed
by purchasing agents to be sent here
by Germany and, as p..id out, the
United States treasury would issue
bonds to cover the installments. Ger
many, under this bill, would be re-
quired TO pay off the loan in ten
years, together with per cent interest
per annum and. befor any credit would
be granted, Germany would be re-
quired to put up liquid security to
cover the entire loan.
This last provision, say those who
have given the matter some thought,
probably would prove the insurmounta-
bic difficulty. IT is pointed ont that
France and other nations awarded rep.
aratiOns have a prior claim on all Ger
many's assets, and for this reason il
is understood the State Department
views the measure askance because Of
possible diplomatic difficulties with
France.
However, the Senate finance com
mittee is now holding hearings on the
bill and intends to investigate and de-
termine whether it would be possible
for Germany to assemble and put up
enough liquid collateral TO cover this
loan and on which France, Belgium or
Italy could not exercise a claim. II is
suggested that If this is found feasible,
farm bloc members might get behind
the bill, feeling it would stimulate the
market for food products generally.

fully-worded petition was sent to the
Canadian government.
Recognition Of the petition was re-
fused. Hasty council meetings were
held at Caughnawaga. Chief Sose
Kentaratiron, surrounded by his braves,
went into the matter deeply and ar

that the Canadian government would

As the matter now stands, the In
dian village of Caughnawaga is virtu-
ally under martial law and officials
have been warned TO be ready in case
anything is started.

are against Canada and white man
rule" may be seen by the following let

Caughnawagas Threaten to

Copyright, 1923. by The San Antonio Light
Montreal, Feb. 3.-The echo of the
war whoop is again resounding in Can
ada.
Feathered braves gaze with longing
eyes upon the tomahawks of their ma.
rauding ancestors, while long into the
night the council fires burn. Strange
chants mingle with the roar of the
Lachine rapids at the little village of
Caughnawaga, few miles distant from
the throbbing Canadian metropolis
Montreal; even the squaws have shed
their civilized garb and reverted into
the costumes of their savage forests
tiers.
For the Indians Of Caughnawaga in
whose veins the blood of mighty Mo-
hawk chiefs flow, are threatening the
warpath.
They want to revert to the tribal
system. They would elect their chief

ait is well to say the chiefs are not
in the least stunned by adversely by
his contradiction of their letter. In
spite of 1t, they'll go right ahead and
hold what they have-the rights and
laws of their forefathers.
at purely appears that the depart

the laws and rights of the Indians,
purposely to escape the enormous debts,
payable to the legal owners, the value

well TO do it in a friendly way"

Practically all the Indians at Caugh-

Canadian government and make no Sc
cret of displaying their feelings to the
casual visitor to their domain. 1t is in

spected members of the Caughnawaga

Watson was a genius, in his way,
too, besides being peculiar. He had
some conception of rude kind Of art.
His hobby was making molds and cast

he had perfected the molds-and often
he would bring something new to the
works for the boys to admire and pur-
chase. :,

them facetiOusly, were ash trays of

room: A little bench, with wise, blow
pipe, files, a burnisher, ETC., occupied
a corner, and the products ofhis> genius
were displayed along the wall on tho

RAILROAD MUST
SPEND MONEY

Railroads must spend money to
save money, says President w. A.
Winburn, of the Central of Georgia
Railway, in a statement quoting in
teresting figures which show how the
public welfare is served by we'll
planned expenditures for improve
nents and extensions to railway
facilities. Mr.. Winburn argues that
railway earnings should be set and
kept at rate sufficient to encourage
investment in railway securities,
since the investing public is the only
source from which transportation
.vmpanies can obtain money for'en-
4Yrements and improvements.

ORIGINAL SANTA CLAUS

He is believed to have been St.
Nicholas, a bishop in the year 300. He
was famous for his kindness to chill.
dren. 1t is said that one night, wish
ing to help a nobleman who was so
poor that he had no money for his
daughters 0owry, the good bishop
looked in at the old mans window and
saw him asleep by the fire. He then
climbed upon the roof and dropped a
gold piece down the chinney, thinking
= that it would fall upon the hearth.
But 1t fell instead in one Of the gentle
mans stockings, which his daughter
had hung up to dry beside the Use.
This started the custom Of hanging
stockings over the fireplace and the
legend of Santa coming down the
chimney.

Jolly little man did appear all the
mothers and fathers in the. world
heaved a deep breath of relief for
there is no mother or father in all the
world that would not feel even more
disappointed than their children If
Santa failed to come at Christmsa
time.
Of course, it was not Santa's fault
that he was late that Christmas-it
was all due to his RENDERS. He had
been a bit impatient with them that
day, but his Impotence was all caused
by the amount Of work that lay before
him and because Of his eagerness to
get to the children. But the reindeers
did not stop to think about this; in
stead, they planned to play a trick
on Santa Claus to get even with him
for Gliding them. So, when they
started out to make their trip around
the world, they whispered among
themselves while Santa sat doing in
the sleigh. He had given them in
structiOns to wake him at the very
first stopping place on the list. But
instead of doing as they were told and
keeping close to earth, the reindeers
thought it would be a great joke on
Santa Claus if they scared upward to
the nearest planet instead. SO upward
they plunged, as fast as their flying
feet could carry them. and they had
nearly reached that far-off planet when
Santa woke up with start. Seeing
the trick that had been played on him
he became very angry and told them
how much unhappiness the little chill
dren would suffer if their plans had
carried. He then ordered them to make
for earth as quickly as possible, telling
them that there might yet be time to
distribute all the gifts. They were
very frightened now at the thing they
had done and their hearts were full of
sorrow lest they should be late with
their gifts, so they put on all speed
that it was possible for them to do and
spun dizzily. through the air.
They made the trip to earth in rec
ord time and not a little boy or girl
was missed as they went swiftly from
house to house, nor did any Of them
know how nearly they came to having
no Christmas at all, because of the
trick which the RENDERS tried to play
on Santa Claus. ~ -7

sand suddenly there was with the

Ted's eyes grew wide with wonder
1t was more wonderful, more beauti
full than any fairy story he had ever
read.
"And, 10, the star went before them
and led them to where the young
child lay"
"And they brought him gifts, gold
and frankincense, and myrrh."
All, those kings were rich; they
could afford to bring him gifts. He
pitied the shepherds. They brought
no gifts; they must have been poor
like him! Then he looked up quickly
"And we, too, may bring Him gifts
the poor, as well as the aged" con-
Guided the minister.
Ted's breath came quickly and his
eyes shone with excitement. He was
a little child, and he was poor, and he
wanted to give the Christ Child gift.
The people were trooping out of the
church now, In merry groups. No
body noticed the shabby little boy,
who, with flushed face and question
ing eyes, went slowly down the steps
and turned into side street. Sud
denly he remembered; the cloud left
his face and he dashed joyously down
the snowy sidewalk. A wonderful
thing had happened last night! Santa
Claus had paid visit to his home for
the first time, although he had hung
his faded, little stocking under the
mantel every Christmas eve. 1t was
so nice to have a Christmas gift Of
his own; Ted thought lovingly of the
new top and quickened his steps.
"a little child may bring him gifts !"
the words rang through his head
Well, he had nothing to give. Then he
stopped short-he had his top!
The next Sunday morning little
boy in a threadbare suit slipped
quietly into a back pew of the great
church. He carried with him an odd
ly-shaped package, which he fingered
lovingly all through the service. Then
the organ played softly and he could
hear the clink of the money as it fell
into the collection plate. He, held the
precious package close to him-the
plate was coming nearer-it had
passed into the next pew-now it had
reached him! He heard the package
drop with dull thud into the plate.
Then he leaned back, unmindful of
the curious glances in his direction.
A little, quivering sigh escaped his
lips; but his eyes were bright and
there was something glad in his heart.

gift.-Jennie M. Mills, in Farm and
