r. M. POTTER APPRAISES
EXPERIMENTALLY FED
CATTLE IN MONTANA

R. M. Potter returned recently from
ten days sojourn in Montana, where
he went to appraise 16 lots of beef
cattle that had been fed at the Mont
ana experimental farms at Harve,
Billings and Bozeman. Each lot was
fed on separate ration to determine
the net gain or loss in dollars and
cents. Taking the cost of the cattle
as basis, the expense of feeding
was added to obtain the total cost at
the end of the feeding period. Mr..
Potter, as representative of the
Central Cooperative Exchange and
an authority on market values of
fat cattle, appraised each animal at
the end of the feeding period. There
were from IL to 16 head in each OF
the 16 lots. The results of the exper-
mental feeding will be published fol-
the benefit of Montana cattle feeders
Similar feeding tests are conducted
in Minnesota by our agricultural col
lege. The Montana Agriculture col
lege conducted the tests in that state.

MOBILES COUNTY MAN
HAS CLOSE CALL

Henry Turner, prominent farmer
of Mobiles county, narrowly escaped
fatal injury the forepart of last week
when his wearing apparel became
caught in the shaft of the fly-wheel
of a gasoline engine being used to
clean grain. Mr.. Turner was whirled
around by the wheel with terrific
force, until his young son succeeded
in stopping the engine.
The unfortunate man was uncon-
scious and frightfully bruised and
lacerated about the body when re-
moved from the wheel, and was rush
ed to the clinic hospital at Worthing-
ton. There an examination disclosed
that his right limb had been fractured
in two different places above the an
kle.
The accident happened early in the
morning and the supposition is that
while Mr.. Turner was working about
the engine a corner of his jacket
caught in the key of the fy-wheel
shaft and was instantly wound around
it. At the same time one of Mr.
Turner's sons came into the building
and in his frenzy at seeing his father
being carried around the wheel, the
lad endeavored to stop the engine
by grabbing the other wheel.
The lad was hurled against the
wall, but in some manner, either
through the force which he used in
grasping the fiy-wheel, or by pulling
the gasoline lever, the engine stopped
The son, fortunately, was not injured

MORE MONEY USED
 IN HOLIDAY RUSH
Federal Reserve Tapped Yearly
 for Christmas Buyers

Washington, Dec. 23 UP)-Re- serves of the United States govern mcnt and Federal Reserve Eystcm are being tapped to the extent of be- tween $200,000,O00 and $250,000, 1000 this year to fill the purses of Christmas shoppers.
 This large expansion of currency in circulation for Christmas needs is an annual feature of the nations credit structure. Unless the Fed cral Reserve System adopted meas ures to forestall it, the rapid growth and contraction of outstanding cur rcncy would seriously disrupt credit conditions.
 Currency in circulation aggregates about $5,O00,000,000 during normal times It reaches a low point in July. but begins to expand as harvesting of the nations crops eXerts a de- mand for funds.
 Then in early November the first sign of Christmas is reflected in a growing demand for additional funds by department stores and oth- CT merchants with which to rcplen- ish their stocks for holiday trade. Banks. in turn, borrow from the re- serve fund system 10 meet these needs of their customers
 Gold Coins As Gifts
 Part of the Yuletide increase in currency is in gold coins, principally quarter eagles of $2.50 each to be used as ballast in the toe of the Christmas stockings. Nearly $350,- 100000 of new gold coins are spe- cially issued for this purpose each year.
 Virtually every kind of currency national bank notes, gold ceruilcates' United States notes, gold and silver coin is affected by the extra demand for cash during the Christmas sea son. Gold certificates alone increase by between $30,o0Q,000 and $4o'- 100000.
 End of the Christmas season m carly January is marked by . sud den sharp drop in currency out standing as the millions ot doiiarS sncnt by Christmas shoppers are re- turned to banks and reserve VaullS by department stores,

In Paris all Catholic churches give midnight mass, and one of the most vivid, heartfelt demonstrations of that something that is Christmas is seen at the monumental Madeleine at the gateway of the Grand Boule- ward when the girls of the streets and out of the night places trek 10 the shrine, oblivious to what was or is to be, and find some comfort in prayer during the first hour of the day.
 Despite Locarno and the Kellogg Pact, children this year are going in more than ever for the clarion cry of armed, conflict. The machinatiOnS of war are featured in toys. with air planes, submarines, and rapid firing battlcships, In the midst of political parity preparations, these are the most popular playthingS for the de- lcctaton of the little ones. A marshal of France, fully equipped with re- volver, sword and spurs. can be bought for q dollar. Armies repre- senting all Allied countries are prct- ty cheap.
 PIaythings Are Modern Airplanes and hydrOplancs come somewhat higher in price, but they are remarkable in their mechanism and many of them can quickly gain sufficient altitude to smash any hang ing lamp. CannOns shoot projCCtlcS dangerous for window pancs, and machine guns let off metal stars at the rate of four a second, like tracer bullets. Another toy guaranteed to cntico infantilc interest almost un- i til nightfal is q fort which blows ! up by touching a button, scattering | soldiers in all directions. And depart mcnt store managers say that war toys are more popular than eyer. For little girls, dolls have changed as draStiCally as fashions for their mothers. The present Christmas doll is q modernizcd creature with pluck cd eyebrows, blackcncd cyclashcs, rougcd lips and long skirts.

AMERICANS ABROAD
 LONGING FOR HOME
Christmas Tugs at Heart Strings
 Of Yankees Across Seas
BY NIINOTT SAUNDERS

Paris, Dec. 23.-ChriStmaS will be a day of homcsickncss for thousands of Americans who will spend it in France. For no matter how little they ordinarily miss their homeland, or how far removed their native ties, this day-to an American in France just isn't Christmas.
 The good people here do not wish you q "Merry Christmas" Excited children talk about pcre Noel CFa- thcr Christmas), and glory in their toys as do American children, but the greetings and gift-giving practic- es and general spirit of generosity and affection do not prevail among groWn-upS.
 Christmas here is Childrcn's day Father ChristmaS-not santa Claus whose SaintlY personality is quite unknown by that namo-mySteribu lN comes down the chimney some time during the night and leaves his bounty in shoes that arc arranged around the hcarth-stonc. Shoes, not stockings fer Father Christmas would not at all know what to do with stockings.
 Children Made Happy
 GrOWn-ups devote their time 10 the children, operating and mending toys, and ask no quarter, and give none to ncighbOrs, aunts, unCles, cousins, acquaintanccs and other dis turbing clements. If the children are happy, it is merry Christmas here.
 The gift-Eiving day with the French is the first of the New Year. They visit relatives and friends, eX- change cards and presents, pass ap- propriato greetings, and begin the year with seriousness and Solemnity. The children are as much out of this ceremonial as they are all-import- ant on Christmas Day.
 In the good old days before the war it was the French custom to in augurate Christmas by attending mass at midnight on Christmas Eve. This worship still prevails, and the children arc taken along, for it is the only night of the year when midnight mass is said. In the pro vinccs, and especially in towns and villages, practically everybody goes to church at midnight before Christ mas

Olive Borden made her first visit to New York to play the title role in "The Joy Girl" which Al Ian Dwan produced for Fox Films from the Saturday Evening Post story by May Edginton.

 Pounded in TITO by Father Serra when he built there the second of sCalifornia's 21 missions, Monterey was California's first real city and was a more important community than San Francisco up to the time gold was found on the Sac ramento River.

 STORY OF NORTH IS AT PALACE SUNDAY

A beautiful mosaic of the North, Pack to Gods Country" starring Renee Adoree. is at the Palace Sunday and Monday, opening al the Sunday matinee.
 Every scene of this spectacular outdoor picture is a cameo-like unit in this splendid example of the motion picture art. And here | is cue where motion pictures do rise to a fine pictorial and drama tic art.
 Renee Adoree again proves that she is one of fllmdoms leading stars. She is a remarkable ac- tress and possesses a pert and fas- cinating French personality which fits in well with her French Ca nadian role in this Universal pro- duction.
 Robert Fraver is equally deserv- ing of praise for his successful eff forts in difficult part. Mitchell Lewis, whom we have long known as a deep-dyed villain, plays a sympathetic role in this picture and does astoundingly well proving that good actor can essay any type of characterization. Walter Long glowers and plots well as the interruptions ship captain.
 James Oliver Curwood has sery- ed up story which is an intensely dramatic tale of the snow country, whirlwind in action and arousing in emotional power.
 The Palace orchestra will play for both shows Sunday night.
