Lois put the things back in the

could not have put your finger be-

Bitten glanced at Vixen and saw
that his hair was standing right up
straight.
what Ho," beloved Santa, do
you want to upset the sleigh again,
you naughty deer?"
All over the world they went, not
skipping place. Bitten was very
tired and as he could think of moth
ing better to do he Snorted and
fused and counted stars. At last
just as Christmas morning dawned
they found their way home. Mrs.
Santa came running out to meet
them, and to help Santa unharness
the reindeer.
"Blitzen cannot have anything to
eat and he must go right into the
barn." said Santa rather sadly.
"And | fear he cannot go with me
next Christmas"
And now indeed was Blitzen a
sadder and wiser reindeer.
Now, my dear children | know
that you all love Bitten. You must,
for he is lOvable old fellow. When
you hear the deer on the roof
Christmas eve it is always Bitzen's
hoofs you hear, because he always
stamps harder than Is necessary.
And when you hear the bells you
can always hear Blitzen's above the
rest, no one knows why. Just be-
cause he is Blitzen, suppose, and
likes to give an extra stamp and an
extra shake whenever possible. He
will be sadly missed next Christmas
eve unless-l have it! Let's all
write note to Santa and ask him
to forgive poor mischievous Bitten
before next Christmas has q chance
to come around. If all the children
in all the world should write I'm
sure Santa would forgive him.

not to undertake any expansion of
governmental expenditures other
than those required under the pro-
posed unemployment and drought
relief programs, and said he regret
ted he could not recommend con-
tinuance of the income tax reduc-
tiOn. The budget he submitted
provides for total expenditures of
$4.054 $40, 200 for the fiscal year
1892, exclusive of postal eXpendi
lures paid from postal revenues, as
compared with $4,014,941 900 in the

NEWS REVIEW Of
CURRENT EVENTS
Hoover Asks Congress for
$15O,OOO,OOO to Provide
Work for Unemployed.
ifZfl3ITsEXHsLZE24 XXX:
BY EDWARD w. PICKARD

CONGRESS, in its short session.
~ was asked by President Hoover
on Tuesday to appropriate from
$100,000,000 to $150,000,00O for the
acceleration of public works COLI
struction in order to provide en-
plOyment for men out of work. 1t
was asked also to make this emer-
gency fund distributabIe upon rec
OmmendatiOn of a cabinet commit
tee approved by the President. With
that amount available, the Presl-
dent said it would be possible to
expend a total of S650,000,000
upon construction of all kinds in
the next II months.
Our immediate problem" said
the message lis the increase of en-
plOyment for the next six months,
and new plans which do not pro-
duce such immediate results, or
which extend commitments beyond
this period, are not warranted"
The President also urged that an
appropriation be made to the De
partment of Agriculture to be
loaned to farmers for the pur-
pose of buying seed and feed for
animals. He said congress should
complete legislation. already start
ed, in respect to Muscle Shoals,
bus regulation. relief of congestion
in the courts, reorganization of the
border patrol in prevention of
smuggling, and law enforcement in
the District of Columbia. He said
there was need of revision of the
immigration laws and that the de-
portatiOn laws should be strength
ened.
Surveying the finances of the
country. Mr.. Hoover more than in
timated the income tax reduction
could not be continued on 1890 in
comes. The estimated treasury
deficit for the present fiscal year
is about $1S0,0O0,000. and he de-
clared that most rigid economy is
necessary to avoid increase in
taxes"

DREMIER TARDIEU of France,
who had resisted the attacks of
opponents for months, finally was
defeated Thursday when the SEN
ate passed a vote of non-confidence,
147 to 139. OF course Tardieu and
his cabinet resigned, and the re-
suit was described as the most Sc
rious government crisis in many
years. One of the chief factors in
the downfall of Tardieu wasS the
fact that several members of his
cabinet were involved in a huge
financial scandal, the failure of
Alfred Oustric. He also was ac-
cused of trying to- make himself a

OvERPRODUCTIoN is the chief

nVERPRODUCTION is the chief
" threat against American agri-
culture today, and if the farmers
would avoid ruin they must all
unite to curb it. SO declared Sec
retary of Agriculture Hyde in his
yearly report. He said:
II want to emphasize the need
for equitable, intelligent, systemat-
ic and collective action to bring
supply into better relationship
with demand"
Citing the particular Overabund-
ance of wheat, the agriculture sec
retary said producers of that grain
could expect federal help only if
they made a practical approach to
the task of combining to adjust
output to needs.
Lower farm incomes from the
production of 1890 as, compared
with the previous year were pre-
dicted by the cabinet officer. He
estimated the aggregate gross in
come from 1890 crops at about
S9,950, 100000. or about 16 per cent
less than in 1929. He attributed
the current slump in agricultural
prices to continued Overproduc-
ton and 1.-The worldwide business
depression" resulting in lessened
demand.
