glimpse of Santa Claus. whom
they had not seen for a year.
The occasion was one to be re-
membered, for in addition to
listening to fine program, many
were viewing the inside of the
gym" for the first time.
The program started promptly
at 6:3O With a selection by the
school orchestra. This was
followed by a Christmas song by

Coulee Losses to HartIine

Coulee high school basket ball
boys were again defeated last
Friday night in the second game
of the county schedule played
with Hartline in the Coulee gym
nasium, altho not so ignominous-
ly as they were the week prev
ious by the Quincy quintet. Our
boys showed marked improv-
ment in all departments of the
game and in the first half forced
the Hartline boys to extend them
selves to the limit. The game
was fast and interesting from
start to finish and ended with a
score of 21-10. We predict that
another two weeks practice will
put the team in a class with
other teams Of the county. One
of the regular players : Ernest
iChappelawho ably fillsrthe posi-
tion of left guard was out Of the
game because of an accident
suffered Friday morning. This
weakened the team somewhat
although Edward Coulee, who
took his place, played a very
good game.
The, girls team has also i'm
proved very much with a weeks
practice, Prior to the boys game
they were pitted against the
Hartline girls and were defeated
by a score of Al 10.
Following the game the boys
and girls Of the Coulee high
school served luncheon to the

School Program

Thinking that if all the num-
bers prepared by the school for
the Christmas program were
given Monday mite it would make
that program too long, the two
upper grade rooms gave the num-
bers Friday afternoon in an i'm
promptu program at the local
gymnasium.
The entire 5th and 9Th grades
put on a half hour one-act play
"Ihe christmas Speakin,''
The 7th and 8th grades repre-
sented by Marjorie Austin, Thel-
ma Jeffers, Bertha Thornbrue,
Donna Aldrich, Freddie Hayden,
Wallace Arnold, Fred Joplin and
Charles Nejhart gave a 20.min-
ute one-act play ''Jes' Fore
Christmas"
The Glee Club and the orches-
ira gave two numbers each and
so filled out the hour.
The gym was unprepared for
this program as no scenery was
In place and there was confusion
and delay between the numbers
bat the presence of the patrons
who attended was appreciated
and it is hoped imagination what
was lacking in stage setting,

The recent stock market ur.

exchanges constitute a great

herculean service under the most

1t also demonstrated that the
danger of properly supervised

 The Pan-American congress would have opened January 6, in Havana. Cuba.
 Its postponement Is due, the state ment added, to the need for spe- cial organizing campaign which "has been launched and is being carried On among the working people in the south and elsewhere by the Ameri- can Fderation Of Labor, where more than a million members are employ ed in the various industries of tho southern states and elsewhere

light crop next season would not be
unusual" said MIR. Commander. AL
ternating light and heavy citrus
crops have been the regular order In
Florida.
1.-THE light crop has the advantage
Of bringing high prices and usually
it has given the state record gross
returns. Frequently the light crop
has brought the state more money
than q large crop, as Is exampled by
the returns for the light seasons Of
1925-26 and last year. Each brought
the state more than $50, 700 900.
Unfortunately the growers do
not always profit from these light
production, high return seasons. In
asmuch, as these light crop years
follow years of heavy production
and meager returns. the growers are
very susceptible to the slightly high
er offers Of spectators. Due to the
bloom indications many months be-
fore the next season starts, the
Spectators IRE able to get into the
field while the old season Is still on
and when the growers are low in
morale and finances. They play
upon the growers condition to make
bargain contracts, through offers,
which, while higher than the grow
ers have been receiving. are low in
comparison with what the fruit will
bring in the light production season.
There Is another serious diSad-
vantage from a light crop, high price
season which affects the industry
and the state as well. Growers In

with those cities of Europe and
Africa. Capt. Hunt accompanied
Lieut. Comm. Richard Byrd as far
as SUratenberg, Finland, on his re-
cent voyage to the North Pole. A
resident of the Ell Jardin district Of
Brownsville for the past season, the
Captain has been q next-door
neighbor to the Windmill Sandwich
Inn Of r. r. Holloway. Coming
here from Rockport and from other
points farther north in Texas where
he has enioyably spent his last
three years, he parked his Ford
truck in a shady spot and set up
in his tent, which combines parlor,
bedroom and bath, for winter resi-
dence. He has not slept indoors
for four years.
Back and forth across the coun-
try from California to Florida and
up the New England coast, this ma
tive OF Baltimore, Md, has been
travelling alone or with sometimes
a chance companion. A gray-hair-
ed gentleman Of so odd years with
keen and ~far-Seeing blue eyes and
a healthy brown complexion, and
wearing the cap of a naval officer,
he proudly showed us the silver
s1gnet ring he had made for him
self from the propeller Of o de-
stroyer s~hipwrecked off the coast
Of Cuba. One of his arms was
tattooed with the Rock of Ages and
the other with stars and aquatic
emblemS IN true sailor fashion.
Picking up work as he feels like
it, Capt. Hunt worked as gate
keeper at the SeSqui-C Centennial
Exposition in Philadelphia in 1926.
But upon being severely reprimand-
ed by the Spotter for admitting free
a little girl who had only the price
Of admission and none for lemon
ade and candy, the kindly old Off
Ger gave the child a dollar and
fatty quit the job. Another ex-
perlence which he related was that
IN the traffic rush Of Washington,
ID. c., which SO caused his ire TO
rise that he threatened the smart
driver who bumped the rear Of his
a with the false but effective
statement, Say, didn't you see that
Semlphore say stop? I'm on the
Presidents yacht over here and I
am gong to see that you are Off
cially called down, do you under
stand?" Wherewith having con-
Siderably Squelched the young up
start, he drove away.
The captain made our mouths
fairly water with his recipe for
those delicious hard-fried, deviled
crabs baked in their shells. Here
yesterday and gone today, the in
teresting old man fascinated us
with his vast collection Of actual
experiences and endless stories of
sea-lore and travel. Capt. Hunt

LIGHT CITRUS
CROP EXPECTED
Florida Exchange Head De.
clares Fewer Blooms
On All Trees

TAMPA, Fla, April lie. G.
Commander, general manager of the
Florida Citrus Exchange, has just
received reports from every section
Of the citrus belt and he says indi-
cations point to a light crop for next
year. The reports show that the
orange bloom is very light and that
only the Valencia bloom appears to
be normal, while the grapefruit
bloom is lighter than the light
orange bloom.
Citrus trees ordinarily bloom in
February. At this time, therefore, it
Is possible to estimate the pros
poets for the coming crops as far
as the bloom is concerned. It Is IN
anirnouSly agreed among citrus
people that the next crop viii be
light. even though weather condi-
tons should favor production and
no storms or other adverse factors
intervene.

such a season lose a lot of their in

which serve to stabilize the industry
and eliminate many Of the hazards
of the business. This has always
been so in Florida and one of the
main reasons why the industry is SO
disorganized and helpless in the less
favorable years.
Until the growers learn to con-
tinue preparedness In the seasons of
prosperity, the Florida citrus indus
try will remain in its fluctuating,

can be taken by the growers now
than to await further developments
before they release control of their

Women style makers have one
great advantage over men and they

know what their male competitions

They own town houses. country

The war is another reason for tho

ness. Reversal Of fortunes in the
fashionable world, rise of new-rich,

al contribute to their success.
There is no more esprit de corps
among the couturiers, than there

1t was so. It was Danny Meadow
Mouse. The tops Of some Of the
weeds stood out above the snow and
these weed tops were full of seeds.
All Danny had to do was to sit up
on the snow and help himself. 1t
is because he can do this that Dam

is safe underneath it and at th.'
same time it enables him to get d
good living more easily.

was to where Danny was sittin-, bu;
he saw and recognized Danny. He
could see that Danny was sitting

he was high enough. he moved to
