IN CHRISTMAS

timated today.
The probable boost in Christmas

$4,5O0, 100000 in December trade this
year would, one business group es-
timated, put some 100000 addition
al persons to work.
Preliminary holiday trade reports
from all parts of the country to the
commerce department indicated that
retail trade already is running from
five to 35 per cent higher than a
year ago.
Christmas clubs will pay $4,000, j.
900 to 100000 members; much of
this money will go into Christmas

This will never do, Twisty,"
said Uncle Wiggily. You'll catch
cold if your coat isn't buttoned."
But, how can button it if there
aren't any buttons on it?" asked
the pig.
THAT isn't going to be easy"
said Uncle Wiggily. LET me think"
So he thought, meanwhile looking
around the woods. All of sudden
he gave a jolly shout and said: 81
have it! I'll get you some brown
buttons for your coat"
Where can you get buttons in
the Woods?" asked the pig.
"Off the buttonball tree, of
course" answered Uncle Wiggily.
He pointed to some large trees with
smooth bark that was peeling off
in patches. Dangling from the
branches were many round, brown
balls, just like buttons on some
coats.
Those brown buttons are really
the seeds of the buttonball, syca-
more or plane tree" explained Un-
Gle Wiggily. TN some parts Of the
country they are called plane trees,
in others sycamore and in others
the buttonball or buttonwood. The
seed balls will make fine buttons
for your coat, TWisty."
The Problem
Indeed they will" agreed the
pig. But how are we going to get
them down off the tall tree and
who will sew them on?"

Reports Hoover Plans to Build Up
1886 Reelection Machine Denied

titular head of the Republican
party
Writing in the forthcoming issue
of the magazine Today, Joslin de-
clared Mr.. Hoover is mot nearly
so preoccupied' as while president,
and predicted he will increase his
activity on present issues.
News stories have been printeS
recently that he really is building
up a political organization, pre-
sumably for his personal use In the
1886 campaign" Joslin wrote.
Commentators have jumped at the
conclusion that this is the reason
for his increasing activity"
"The blunt truth is that he has
no organization political, personal
or otherwise today. And it is about
the first time in 20 years that he
has not"
