The whole picture may not look
very cheerful. Nevertheless, it Is
true, Our country indebtedness for
relief has piled up until twenty
four counties of the state are heav-
lily overdrawn. Yakima and Chelan
are fair samples. with almost one
half million each in the red. We are
all bravely going forward with the
hope that before the session is over
a solution will be found. In the
meantime we are making every eff
fort to impose no further restric-
tons upon the business life Of the
state, as we have killed a number
of measures which would be very
harmful from a sound business
standpoint. We seem to have a
majority in both houses that stand
for sanity.

Thurmond said. Production in
Washington has been mounting
steadily for the last five years un-

its wake. This means new payrolls

TOYLANDS SPARKLING
 IN TREATS


 Victor Herbert described Toyland as Dear little girl and boy land in one of his clever musical come dies. Wren the Empire Christmas reporter visited the toylands here she found them swarming with the older generation" In fact young sters were in a decided minority. Just perhaps, though, the mothers and fathers and aunts and uncles went to look over the field so they could instruct Santa Claus more efficiently.
 Dolls Win Hearts
 Toys are magical this year. Old Santa and his dwarf helpers must surely have worked day and night since last Christmas to produce such a fascinating array. From sleepy baby dolls to the latest thing in building sets there is everything to please the young per- son from 1 to 100.
  hair done page boy fashion, their finger-nails tinted the latest pop ular shade, and with heels on their shoes catch the eyes of the aunts. One little debutante. the belle of the ball, wears net evening frock, white bunny jacket oxJ g;1tta,- coY1doIc
 Santa Remembers Youngest
 The toyshop dwarfs have con- centrated on toys to keep the two to five-year-old out of mischief. There are peg boards with all kinds of clever little gadgets in the brightest colors to put in and take out. There are mailing boards with gay cut-out animals to nail onto them. (Mother, this will save the furniture, is Mrs. Santa's hint) Sturdy wooden carts have large pegs and rings that come out and may be put back in again by the ambitious little fellow just learn ing to walk.
 Santa hasn't forgotten anyone. For men and boys be has boxing gloves. punching bags and ros-sy ring toss and archery games or more scientific nature are the new hobby sets. Included in these are electricity, chemistry. biology and minerology outfits.
 Grandmothers and great aunts and others who like to give books, throng the toyland libraries. Books range from the "A B c" variety to the time-honored Little Women and the Rover Boys" series.

Legend of
 Christmas

Quaint and curious are some of the old monkish stories about the first Christmas. One of the charm ing legends relates that at the mo- ment of the Nativity everything and everybody stood still. The birds paused for an instant in mid-air, rivers ceased for the time to flow in short, all the movements Of men and things everywhere were suspended for a brief space. The spells of witches and wizards sud- denly came intellectual - an idea which was, no doubt at the root of Shakespeares reference to Christ mas time as being so holy that then mo fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm"

THOUGHTFUL CONSIDERING
 OF HOBBIES
Several Fl ents Enter Into Choosing Cliffs
 for Men

wise wife knows better than anyone else what her husband likes best, and that's long step toward wise choice of Christmas gifts for men. It's something the girls who expect to be wives can profit from learning before they select the gifts they are going to give to their sweet hearts or their dads.
 The woman grows dearest In the affection of the man she loves, who contributes to the hobby in pursuit of which he spends his happiest mo- ments.
 His hobby may be his personal ap- pearance-as in the case With re- spect to every man who merits wo- mans effection and that's why robes and smoking jackets, and shirts and pajamas, and ties and slippers, play so an importnt part in his scheme of life.
 Though he may best be in the habit of buying them himself, the well-chosen gift of clothing will bring a double-edged grunt of sat- isfaction from him. for he consid- CTS money spent for clothes wisely spent, and if the gift is in tune with his tastes-need more be said.
 For His Leisure House
 Determining what kind of sport ing goods to buy man for Christ mas is easy. Just think of how he spends his leisure time, his week end, and his vacations. There is your cue
 Is he sportsman with reputa- tion to be maintained? The new slide fastened sur-coats for hunters or fishermen or for wear to the golf course of while motoring, will put him in the forefront of fashion. His pet golf clubs may merit new bag with plenty of zippered pockets to hold shirts and balls and tees and shoes.
 And for the follower of 1zaak Walton rare collection of flies and spinners, or an exquisitely bal anced rod will make him the most appreciative husband in town.
 Perhaps he likes to tinker around the house Wouldn't one of the latest electric drills save his temper and the woodwork, or should he be an ardent gardener help him avoid getting musclebound by presenting him with a motor driven lawn mow- CT.
 Regardless of his age he'll wager that friend Hubby isn't a candidate

pears. this Christmas season in style, right colors and patterns, so though fully keyed to mems shirtings and suitings, that no matter how wide the gap between "his" taste and the giver's, both will be happy in this years Christmas necktie choice.
 The man who favors tweeds will strut around proud as a peacock wearing the new foulard or hand cro cheted necktie you give him. If he is ultra ultra conservative and is go- ing in for this years new black suitings, he'll be cheered by the smart contrast of black tie with neat but obvious striped weave in contrasting color.
 If he's of the perennial college type, he'll dote on a new plaid in an authentic reproduction of the heraldry of an ancient Scottish clan.

 Or imagine his gratitude for set of chrome plated, rustproof garden tools!
 The great outdoors may not be his forte-but how about his car? You won't blame him for gloating with pride when he ca nturn on the heat CT with which you presented him, and ride in honey warmth when the temperature reads around 10 degrees.
 He'll play the gracious host tun- ing in the favorite radio program of motor trip guests, on the radio you have installed as Yuletide surprise.
