A toy house with a toy Santa Claus going down the chim ney. Artificial glittering snow over all. Cotton, flour or talcum will dd as a substitute for snow. 2.

A red tissue paper bell i hung over the table, dainty ropes of greenery from the bell to a popcorn ball and bow of red rib bon or paper in front of each plate. 4. A big bunch of holly over the table. Alternate ribbons of red and green crepe paper, each fastened to a tiny box or basket filled with candy in front of each ; person. 5. A bunch of red flowers in the center of the table and a vine running up and down the table, with a sprig of holly here and there. A button-hole bouquet of mistletoe with a baby ribbon bow of red at each plate. 6.

Washington, Dec. 15,—Thomas Washington, of Wilson, N. C., is j here to attend tomorrow a meet ing of the inter-departmental committee which has under con sideration a plan to have all to bacco statistics from the time it is sown until it is smoked or chewed up, collected and pub lished by the international reve nue division of the Treasury De partment only, in place of the many conflicting reports now is sued by the Treasury Commerce and.the Agriculture Departments. This duplication of reports, it is said, all of which conflict with one another, makes all of them useless to the people of the tobac co trade. Several previous meet ings have been held. It is planned to formulate at tomor- j row's meeting plans to go before 1 Congress and a9k for the passage 1 o? a bill giving the Treasury De partment authority to secure every possible statisric concern-' ing the tobacco business and pjb-; lish its findings for the guidance , of those interested. The com-' mittee is composed of experts THE DANBURY REPORTER from the Treasury, Commerce and Agricultural Departments and tobacco men from North Carolina, Virginia and Kentucky. Col. G. E. Webb, of Winston- , Salem, is a member of the com mittee but is not expected to be here tomorrow. Can Common Salt Be Sub stituted For Potash in Fer tilizers? The Division of Agronomy has received during the past few weeks quite a number of inquires with reference to whether com- i mon salt would have any benefit in commercial fertilizers as a , substitute for potash or in other ways. To these inquires the following reply has been given by Mr. Williams: "Formation available, it would appear that soda, to a limited extent, may take the place of potash with some plants in a small way in one or more of the functions performed by potash in plant growth. Although this is true with such plants as tur nips, mangels and closely allied plants, it would not seem to justify the use of sodium salts separately for this purpose. In such cases where potash is low in the soil it might be advantage ous in supplying potash and nitro gen to the crop to use such materials as nitrate of soda and j kainit, which also carry soda. This might insure against the pro-! ; duction of the crop being limited j by potash as the soda contained j i in the materials added could help 1 | to some extent in promoting the | growth of the plants. j | "I might call your attention to j the fact that on acid soils that are practically free from carto : nates of lime and magnesium, ! common salt might eventually J increase the acidity of such soils j or, on the other hand, the reverse effect might take place if plenty i | of carbonate of lime was present ;so that the salt might act upon i it and form bi-carbonate of soda, i This would be the case particul arly in soils in the West. When> sail is used on sandy soils that' are subject to drought it might ! 'in a limited way be helpful in j lessening evaporation from the | surface so long as the salt re-1 mained in solution. "Notwithstanding the fact that salt might act in a | limited way as indicated above, Iwe hardly think that with ' most of our soils it would justify i | the farmer to use this material in the w'ay he does ordinary com ! mercial fertilizers. "One exception, however, j where wo would expect salt to prove of sufficient value to just- j ity its use would be on soils that i are infected with cotton wilt. It! seems to be particularly effica- j cious in overcoming this disease. ; Even in this instance it will ; generally be found most practi ; cal to secure ordinary meat salt | which can frequently be obtain ied at the local grocery store lat little or nothing." Mrs. Nannie lawsnn Acquitted by Jury. Stuart Enterprise. The trial of Mrs. Nannie Law son for complicity in the murder of her husband nearly two years ago came to a close in the Cir cuit court here last Thursday morning, when the jury returned a verdict of not guilty as charged in the indictment against her. It will be remembered that her son, Charlie Lawson, was convic ted of the murder of his father! and was sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary, which term he is now serving. The State sought to show that Mrs. Law son was also guilty in bringing about the murder, but the evi dence produced failed to convince the jury that she was guilty. So thus ends the' 'Lawson case,'' one of the most unique, as well as one of the biggest and most costly in the criminal history of Patrick County.
