written for them.
"Thi- is niv first vear as Santa
Clatls," says Oscar I.. Phillips, post
"nias'.t , at Santa ("!aus, Ind.. "and it s
a lot ( f fun for many of the letters
are happy ones, hut there are , many
hea.' taches, too, in my mail."
"Froriv all over the United States,
from Ireland, Germany, New Zealand
and Kim'land I have had letters from
children. I am trying to answer as
many a possible, but -1 cannot get
to all.
"It makes my heart' ache when I
read the letters from the poor chil
dren especially when I tannot do
anything about it. I believe I could
use a million dollars just in meeting
the children s requests.
Boyg and girls are getting old fash
ioned, Postmaster Phillips said.
"Why, I don't believe there ever
have been more requests for bicycles
and dolls." he said. "At least 90 per
cent of the girls want dolls and the
boys are almost as eager for a bike.
Phillips, the father of three boys
and two girls, takes his new job
seriously.
Twenty-two thousand nieces of
mail came to Us on jost one day last
week. ' he said. "From now on, we
will bo swamped, for every one wants
us to get the mail right back on its
way at the proper time. I believe we
will handle a million pieces this year.
Phillips became postmaster of Santa
ClaUs t-arly this vear following the
death of James F. Martin, who had
held the position for 2(5 years. He's
a practical fellow, seriou.v. minded and
el assured.
Al! around Santa Ciaus, Ind., pro-
lects -.dealing with the old hamt . are
being developed. One, when complet
ed, will be everything a child ever
dreamed Santa Claus s: home to oe.
It will have an eskimo -illage, a work
shop, a wishing well, a lake around
which reindeer will be free to roam,
and a paradise island..
A great statue of : Santa Claus will
be foremost in the park. The devel
opment is the work of the Santa Claus
Good Fellowship club, a nonprofit or
canization. It will take a year or
more to complete.
THE FIRST CHRISTMAS
Long asro a babe vas born.
'Before the years began;
In a manger he was cradled.
There in Bethlehem.
In the sky a star was shinin?,
Over the stable bare;
Thiough the night came Wise mel
bringing.
Gifts to offer there.
Thrnno-Vi thi nir a sone was sinsing.
"Peace on earth good will to men,"
It was the voice of angels singing.
Of the babe in Bethlenem.

Chemist Claims He
Gets 2,000 Bushels
Of Potatoes To Acre
DETROIT. It begins to look as if
the Government might have to look
into Arthur C. Pillsbury and plow
under every third idea of his if they
want to curb overproduction. Exper
imentator Pillsbury can grow 2,Ol0
bushels of potatoes to the acre in
stead of a measlv 80 bushels.
In Detroit, Mr. Pillsbury told of
his extraordinary experiments with
potatoes. To grow 2.000 bushels to
the acre you don't plow the ground
at all. You build a shallow tank on
the" ground, fill it with six inches
of water, cover it with wire netting,
cover the netting with a layer of
excelsior anil plant the potatoes in
the excelsior.
Hut there is one other thing. Into
the water you have to place a special
chemliai diet for the potatoes. Elev
en of them are enough to supply the
cu.stomary sustenance potatoes draw
from the soil. From then on all that
is required is that the tank be kept
filled with water. The excelsior car
ries the moisture to the roots and
later 'he roots protrude down into
the watir.
"All the plant energy ordinarily
devoted to gaining chemical food and
moisture from the soil now may be
devoted to creating foliage and pota
toes," Mr. Pillsbury explains. "The
resu't is that the plant produce 10
to 20 times as many potatoes as
u-uai, by number and volume.
"Think what this will mean when
we work out the right chemical for
mulas for growing our usual foods
he
About 20 cents worth of
chtmiiaU and a tank 20 feet square
in the back yard will produce enough
food to keep any family a year. In
Japan, in Italy, even in England the
saving of -pace would be revolutionary."
GOP Convention
Will Be Held In
Cleveland In June
Dce:.-ion wasj made Mcnda.v to hold
the national Republican convention m
Cleveland. Ohio, in June. The selec
tion of the largest city in Ohio is
leoked upon by some political observ
ers as being a shrewd move for the
G. O. P. leaders, as Ohio is in the
doubtful column this year.
Another reason for the selection of
Cleveland, and an important one, was
that the Cleveland committee planked
down $150,000 to help defray conven
tion expenses.
And the third reason, to those who
are superstitious, the last time a Re
publican convention was held in Cleve
land the candidate chosen was elected
Calvin Coolidge. This was in 1924.
Cleveland is easy to get to from
the centers of population in the coun
trv, and as this yearV convention
looms to be a "hard-fouffht ' battle"
this will mean a lot.
Just who will be named is very
much undecided, in fact but few will
venture even so far as to guess.
