Remember, remember,
The last of December;
My dad says he’s coming this way.
I_fv'e heard many things
About presents he brings,
And toys packed down in a sleigh.
His reindeers, his reindeers!
Oh! they are well trained deers;
They run down the road in a cant:
And horges and autos '
Get out of the way
‘Whene’er they meet the Old Saint.

BORAH WANTS ACT REPEALED.
Washington, D. C., Dec. s.—Senator
Borah, of Idaho, announced today that
he had prepared a bill to repeal the
act which federalised the mnational
guard.
“The federalization of the national
guard has been demonstrated in the
Mexican situation to have been a fail
ure,” Ig.e.said.
EMBARGO ON GREEK SHIPPING.
‘ London, Dec. s.—The British govern
’ment has prohibited the sailing of
Greek steamers from British to Greek
‘ ports.
A Paris dispatch yesterday announc
ed that an embargo had been placed
on all Greek shipping in French and
other ports of the entente allies in con
sequence of the recent events in Ath
ens.
REPEAL OF THIS LAW IS
HELP TO MOONSHINERC
Atlanta, Dec. s.—That the repeal of
the federal statute permitting United
States internal revenue officers to pay
for information concerning illicit dis
tilleries, will greatly handicap these
officers in rounding up “moonshiners”
is the belief expressed in Atlanta,
which is headquarters for the govern»
ment’s internal revenue collection ma
chinery for the state.
It is mot absolutely necessary for
revenue officers to be accompanied by
a posse when raiding a moonshine dis
tillery, and hence the repeal of the
right to swear in possemen is not
seriously regretted by the revenue of
ficers; but information concerning the
tocation, operation and ownership of
mocnsghine distilleries is of much
more importance, and it would not bhe
surprising if the number of distilleries
should greatly increase, now that they
are in a measure out of the reach of
the “revenues.”

For instance a 100 horse power
motor pulling 50 horse-power
would only take 50 horsepower
of electricity and so on. The
nice thing about this is that you
can pull 100 horse-power if you
want to but you do not have to
pay for 100 horse-power of cur- ‘
