Kellogg Peace Fruits.

China says Russia's attack on her Manchurian
possessions, selling the railroads. killing Chinese
setting fire to their homes etc. is defiance of the
Kellogg peace pact.
Britain and America will talk that over and see
what can be done about it. Henderson, foreign min
ster In Britains labor cabinet, Japan will take
part in the discussion. Russia asks no ones advice
and the only thing that could be done about it would
be to fight Russia.
1t would be interesting if the first fruits Of the
Kellogg peace pact should be the start of another
war. If that war came Japan, highly intelligent
would send few observers, as in the big war, and
do nothing else.

too fed up" for any fighting, Uncle Sam

ST. NICHOLAS

Children of Holland, Belgium and parts
of Germany have their annual holiday, close
| ly corresponding to our Christmas on De-
cenfber 6, celebrated as ST. Nicholas Day. In
| fact, our own Santa Claus is derived from the
legend of st. Nicholas, who was fancied as
driving reindeer bringing presents to good
children.
There is supposed to have been real ST.
Nicholas, however, born about the year 800,
who became bishop of the early church in
Asia Minor. He is reputed to have been a
man of great piety and generosity, who gave
his inheritance to the poor. He also is said
to have performed numerous miracles, includ-
ing the bringing to life Of three youths who
had been murdered and sailed down by an
innkeeper with whom they had taken lodg-
ings.
But there is no mention of him in the
writings of his contemporary church faith
ers, and the accounts later given wide cred
ence did not appear until centuries after his
supposed activities occurred. Strange as it
may seem, his name became very prominent
during the Middle Ages, and has persisted
until the present time.
He is known as the patron saint of Rus
STA, of children, of travellers, and oddly
enough, OIL thieves.
However legendary st. Nicholas may be,
he is very real to the boys and girls who look
forward to his annual coming, for, as an i'm
migrant from Holland has said: "St Mich
olas comes and fills our shoes, after he has
taken out the grain which we put there for
his reindeer"
Here is something for the 'know-it-alP'
professional advertising agencies to ponder
over: Weekly newspapers yielded Is times
the amount of benefit to advertisers than any
other means of getting before the public"
This is clipped from statement issued by
the United States department of agriculture,
following survey of the waste and economy
in advertising The weekly paper goes direct
to the home. 1t may not be read at once
The daily papers carry the last minute news,
but the weekly remains while the daily is be
ing used to start a fire or to wrap up garbage
Every ad and every line of reading matter in
the weekly paper is carefully read in the
home. That tells the story.

saThe Racketeer.. Dramatic Film

'The Racketeer." Dramatic Film
of the Underworld
Romance, drama, thrills-a girl
of high society caught in the coils
of the underworld that, briefly, is
1.-THE Racketeer," Pathe's all-dia-
logue production, starring Robert
Armstrong, which comes to the Ok
ford Friday and Saturday eve
nings. Carol Lombard is featured.
Written by Paul Gangelin, and
directed by Howard Higgin, this
feature is said by preview critics to
be the most accurate screen paint
ing to date Of that mysterious fig
ure of the underworld who rules
vice by a wave of his hand and
spends millions with the layishness
of a Midas.
While "The Racketeer" deals
with this imposing character of the
underside of society it is not who'll
ly an underworld picture. Most of
it's action takes place 'amid the
luxury of Park Avenue and rich
Long Island estates. The back
grounds are most lavish and many
of the characters are of the upper
strata of society. Yet throughout
the action, the sinister influence of
the underworld is felt.
The story of "The Racketeer''
deals with society girl, Rhoda
Philbrook, who, through an indis-
Greet romance with musician
falls outside of the pale. She en-
counters Mahlon Keene, a Gear of
the underworld, who helps her and
her sweetheart and then falls mad
ly in love with the girl himself.
The Vaccinations of fate that
bring the affairs Of this triangle to
a tremendous climax are colorful,
dramatic and thrilling.
