Christmas Team Work
and IL Was for Keeps

at HADN'T been a good Christmas
~ season for the little maiden lady
In her little Economy store.
Economy was an apt name for it-only
the strictest economy prevailed there.
The next day was the last before
Christmas, she reasoned, and a lot
Of her cheap toys were not sold.
The little maiden lady made a resO-
luton. She had always wanted to be
rich that she might bestOw fine pres
ents upon all the boys and girls. She
liked boys and girls, but somehow
they always treated her d~istantly
when she made her timid overtures.
It was very evident she was never
going to be rlch-she would do some
thing now; so she made q big sign
and put It In her window:
"A Christmas toy for each Of the
first fifty children who come In at
four o'clock the day before Christ
mas" 3.
Miss Watkins didn't think there
were fifty In the whole town, but she
was mistaken. At four O'Clock the
next day they came troOping in-in
such numbers she never knew how
many toys she gave away.
It was all exciting and very thrill
ing. It was the most fun she had
ever had. The "ThankyOus" and the
Merry Christmases' were all SO
genuine and overwhelming, and right
in the midst OF it who should appear
but the kind-faced, white-haired
gentleman who kept the small candy
shop across the street, and he In.
vited them all over to partake Of his
wares. He looked like Santa Claus
himself with his round rosy cheeks
shining blue eyes, and white hail
curling E his fur collar.
When everything was quiet ono,
more and Miss Watkins sat witt
folded hands thinking about tn,
Christmas Joy the simple giving ha'
brought to her, Santa Claus iron
across the street again appeared:
"Pretty good team work we mad
Of It, didn't we. Miss WatkinsT' h
chuckled.
And Miss Watkins uttered q SUI
prised Eyes, indeedI"
Santa Claus chuckled again and pu
his hands on the surprised lady
shoulders:
Don't you think we could team
together the rest OF our lives2
And Miss watkins looked up an
blushingly stammered:
eyes, indeed !" - Florence Harri

CHRISTMAS TREES

~HE only kind Of trees that
W interest US at this time OF
year are Christmas trees.
/ wonder IL you know that
a Christmas tree may be a hem
lock or a spruce, a ar, pine,
cedar, or perhaps some other
evergreen, as an arbOr vitae,
But the ones named are the
most popular. Can you tell the
d~ifIerence2
A spruce Christmas tree has
stin needles, sharp as pins,
that stand out all ways.
A hemlOck Christmas tree has
fat needles that lie on the twigs
: as II they were parted, just as
hair Is parted. These hemlock
needles are whitish underneath.
The ar Christmas tree has
; needles that are parted very
, much like the hemlOck, only
I each separate needle seems to
be parted On its under side, too.
I Very likely your tree will be one
. Of these three.
Z The pine Is too well known
! for much description. It has
4 two forms OF @leaves-the pri-
Z mary, small and scale-like, and
y the secondary-lOng and in clus-
\ tiers Of various numbers. There
are many species, from a few
4 feet high to over a hundred.
y The cedar is Of an old family.
Y Il Is the w~ell-known Cedar OF
y Lebanon. It is Of slow growth,
u very hard wood, and much used
Y In manufacturing lead pencils.

DECLINE IN COTTON.
MARKET ISCHEcKED|
Rallies Follow Covering and
Closing Is Steady at Ad-
vance in Prices.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. December A fur
ther decline in the cotton market at
the opening today was checked by
covering and little more trade buy
ing at 11.55 for January contracts.
Rallies followed, January selling up
to 11.84 and closing at 11.80. The
general market closed steady at net
advances OF to 10 points.
The opening was steady at an ad-
vance of l point on December,
but generally to 10 points lower.
Some buying on the steadier showing
of Liverpool was quickly supplied by
continued southern hedging and fur
ther liquidation Of old long accounts.
All months made new low records
for the season, December selling off to
11.s5 or 5 points net lower in the first
few minutes, while later deliveries
showed net declines of 10 to IL points,
May selling at 1909. Recent sellers
seemed disposed to take profits for
over the week end, or in advance of
the approaching Government report,
while the lower prices also appeared to
bring in a little more trade demand,
sufficient to absorb offerings.
Prices rallied later, December sell
ing up to 12.11 and May to 1928, net
advances of about IA to FL points on
active positions.
Last prices were a little off from
the best under realizing by early buy
ers, but there was very little south
ern selling in evidence here after the
first half hour, although early wires
from the South reported an easing
basis.
Private cables said there had been
active liquidation of near months in,
Liverpool, but that the decline had
induced covering by shorts and con-
t1nental buying.
The amount of cotton on shipboard
awaiting clearance at the end Of the
week was estimated at 1855, 900 bales,
against 10000 last year.
Part of the buying on the early
decline here was attributed to belief
that the market had discounted some
increases in the estimate of the crop
and the technical position of the mar
ket had been strengthened by the
heavy liquidation of the past week.

MARTIAL LAW IS
SMALL'S threat
TO WILLIAMSON
Rule County with
Troops

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, July IA
Governor Len Small in an ultimatum
to the residents Of Williamson County
threatens the county with martial law
and the suspension Of the civil gov
eminent,
Williamson County has been the
battle-ground between the union min
ers and the ku klux khan, who are in
league with the operators. The khan
seeks to destroy the union. The
miners are resisting these attempts
and have formed an organization to
combat the khan. Up to now the khan
has had nothing but severe defeats.
Seek To Destroy Union.
It is expected now that the khan
will again seek to create disorders so
that Len Small can proclaim martial
law and thus crush the union of the
miners.
The telegram bearing the warning
was directed to the residents of the
county and was dispatched to the edi-
tors of the Marion Evening Post,
Marion Republican, Johnson City Pro-
gress, Herrin news and the Herrin
Journal.
The warning follows:
"On several occasions during the
last four years it has been necessary
to use the Illinois National Guard in
Williamson County to suppress law
lessness, riot and murder. For the
last three months troops have been
continuously stationed in your county.
The expense of maintaining these
troops has been borne by all of the
occupants of the state and paid from
appropriations made by the legis-
lature and has amounted to more than
100000.
This condition cannot and must
not continue. l appeal to the law
abiding citizens of Williamson County
and to the elected officials of the
county to maintain order and enforce
the law. If they fail to do this and ii
again becomes necessary to send
troops into Williamson County, 1 feel
that it will be my duty to comply with
requests made and declare martial
law in Williamson County, suspending
the civil authorities in the municipal
tiles and the county.
Threatens Martial Law.
IT wish to make it clear, much as
regret the necessity to do so, that il
II am compelled to return troops tc
Williamson county, they will return
with full authority to govern the
county and the municipalities where
civil government has failed"
Signed Lien Small,' governor.
