CONVENING OF
66TK CONGRESS
President-elect Harding De-
livers Address in Open-
ing of Senate.
Washington,—Congress reconvened
Monday with the customary brief and
routine opening sessions, which were
attended by great crowds, and mark-
ed by an address in the senate by
President-elect • Harding as a unique
and historic feature. Senator Hard-
ing took his seat, answered his name
when the senate roll was called and
made a brief address from the ros-
trum.
The features of the opening of the
third arid final session of the 66th
congress were receipt of annual ap-
propriation estimates, aggregating $4,-
653,000,000 and introduction in the
house of an unusual volume of new
bills and resolutions.
The senate was in session twenty-
five minutes and the house just twice
as long.
Adding a unique page to the na-
tion’s history, President-elect Hard-
ing attended as a senator the opening
of the senate, and in a short address
bespoke for the coming four years
a spirit of teamwork between execu-
tive and legislative branches that he
expects to insure the highest nation-
al efficiency in public affairs at home
and abroad.
Mr. Harding’s address in the sen-
ate was in response to an ovation
that greeted his appearance for the
opening roll call, and was delivered
at the suggestion of Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts, the republican lead-
er, who called attention to the fact
that for the first time in history a
president-elect wras present as a sena-
tor. Vice-President Marshall second-
ed the suggestion by leaving his place
and escorting Senator Harding to the
rostrum.
Visibly affected by the courtesy
shown .him by his colleagues and by
crowded galleries, the president-elect
voiced deep regret at the surrender of
his associations of six years, includ
ing both democrats and republicans in
this tribute of affection and respect
for his fellow senators. He termed
campaign charges of a senate oli-
garchy as “harmless fiction,” and de-
clared that as president he would re-
gard both senate and house with high
esteem, but without a thought of any
surrender of co-ordinate constitutional
authority.

Daddy’s

Fairy Tale

CHRISTMAS PLAY.
“Daddy,” called Nancy, as she heard
him coming down the winding stairs.
“Oh, daddy,”
said Nick.
“What is it?”
asked Daddy, as
he came in the
room. “Why is
there so much ex-
citement?” And
he smiled gaily,
for he could see
that soon he was
going to hear a
secret. Yes, he
could tell from
the expression on
Nick’s face and
on Nancy’s face.
“Is it a secret?”
lie asked.
“Yes,” said
Nancy. “Or rath-
er it lias been a secret. We’ve been
having it a secret, but now we’re go-
ing to show it to you. Or rather we’re
going to let you in on tlie secret.”
‘All, that’s fine,” said Daddy; “how
I do love to be let in on secrets.”
“You explain,” Nancy said to Nick.
“Go ahead,” said Daddy to Nick.
“And please don't keep me waiting too
lon£.”
“Well, Daddy,” said Nick, “Nancy
and I have been practicing a little
play. We made it up ourselves, and
we thought perhaps you might care
to see it tonight. We’re all ready now
—that is, we’ve learnt our parts and
we’ve our costumes near at hand!”
“A play!” said Daddy. “Oh, that
is fine. What a surprise! And to
think I have known nothing of it,
and yet you’ve been practicing for it
and learning the parts and making-
them up and everything.” f
“Well,” said Nick, “it wasn’t hard
to keep you from hearing us practice,
and all of that, for we could do that
more easily when you were away than
at any other time. But it was hard
rfot to let you know a word of what
was going on.
“And if you like It, Daddy,” Nick
went on, “we thought we might get
more children interested in it, and
then we might give it later on in tlie
holidays.”
“Let’s have the play,” said Daddy,
“for I can hardly wait to see i|. And
it’s a good idea about having it with
more actors and actresses and making
a regular party out of it, but just now
Daddy is most impatient to see it.”
So Nick and Nancy ran out of the
room, and after much whispering Nick
appeared before Daddy and said in a
loud and magnificent voice: “Ladles
and Gentlemen, we wish to present to
you our play called ‘The Christmas
Play.’ It is our regret that there are
no programs printed, so 1 take the lib-
erty of letting you know that the play
is in three acts and the parts of ajl
actors and actresses are taken by Nick
and Nancy. |
“The first act is called, ‘Why Santa
Claus made the first Children’s Christ-
mas.’ The second act is called ‘Why
the Children Love Santa Claus.’ Anjd
the third act is called, ‘Why Santh
Claus Loves the Children.’ ”
Then Nick and Nancy began to a<*t
out the play for Daddy. They had to
take many parts, such as when Nick
acted Santa Claus (which Nancy in-
sisted he should do all the time) ; she
had to be as many children as possi-
ble, and Nick, too, acted the parts of
some of the children.
In the first act Santa Claus was
seen taking a walk. Wherever he
walked he saw children and wherev-
er he saw children he went up to them
and talked to them. The more hp
talked to them the more he cared for
them, and finally he decided lie would
give them a day all of their own, and
that as Christmas day was about thb
nicest day in the year, he would see
that it was the Children’s Own Day.
In the second act they acted as
best they could the parts of many
children talking
of all the Christ-
mases they had
had which Santa
had given to
them and of the
Christmases he
had given their
mothers and dad-
dies, too. And
they talked of the
day which was
theirs — Christ-
mas day, and at
the end of the act
they shouted v
loud hurrah fo
Santa Claus.
-.-1
they showed
Santa Claus' once more with his
toys about him and a great pack ready
to be filled. Me was chuckling to him-
self, saying he hadn’t heard a single
child this Christmas say it would be
mean of Santa Claus if he didn’t bring
such and such a thing. No, he said,
everyone was so happy and everyone
knew he was busy, and didn’t expect
tlie Impossible of him. And lie sent
up a clieer for children who made him
so happy because they were his real
friends!
And Nick and Nancy had fixed their
own costumes and their own stage
scenery, and Daddy was a delighted
Daddy when they bowed and bowed
as he clapped and clapped!

Secretary Houston Asks More
Equal Distribution of Tax
Burden.
Washington—More equitable and
just distribution of the four billion dol-
lar tax burden which the American
people must bear for at least four
more years, was recommended to con-
gress Thursday by Secretary Houston,
who in his annual report submitted a
comprehensive scheme of tax revision.
“Revision of taxes should be effect-
ed,” Mr. Houston wrote congress.
‘There can and should be better dis-
tribution of the tax burden. Unwise
taxes should be eliminated. But any
scheme which would affect this fis-
cal year to yield for several years to
come less than $4,000,000,000 would be
incompatible with safety and sound
finance. And the country "should face
the fact that the present taxes even
may not in the future be relied upon
to yield the needed revenue.”
The secretary of the treasury said
the excess profits tax should be re-
pealed and must, of course, be replac-
ed. He said he believed it should be
“replaced in'large part by some form
of corporation profits tax.”
Reduction of the higher groups of
•the income surtaxes, accompanied by
increasing in the lower income surtax
rates also was suggested by the sec-
retary, who asked that congress “con-
sider such a general revision, with a
reduction to a maximum rate lower
than that contained in the present
law, provided acceptable new taxes of
equal yield can be found.
The secretary said the plain fact
was that the present rates, which are
as high as 7 per cent, could not be suc-
cessfully collected and that “the ef-
fective way to tax the rich is to adopt
rates that do not force investment in
tax-exempt securities.”
Mr. Houston suggests a number of
sources of revenue which could be
tapped and others which could be re-
vised to make up for the loss of reve-
nue occasioned by the changes he
recommended.

PUN TB REDUCE
COTTON ACREAGE
Southern Bankers, Merchants
and Farmers Adopt
Plan for 1921.
Memphis, Tenn.—After 50 per cent
in cotton production in 1921 and re-
duction in the acreage planted to one-
third of that of the total acreage in
cultivation was agreed upon at the
conference Thursday of Southern
bankers, merchants and farmers, to
make the plan effective machinery
was set in motion to restrict whatever
necessary credits to individual farm-
ers, merchants, factors, or banks un-
willing to agree to the acreage reduc-
tion plans.
The plan embodied in the report of
the acreage reduction committee was
adopted by a practically unanimous
vote of the conference. It includes
the formation of an organization in
every township in the cotton states to
secure the support of the growers, arid
their adherence to pledges of reduc-
tion.
Organization work pledged by the
bankers will begin immediately and
under the provisions of the plan will
be practically complete by January 15
next.
The resolutions adopted by the con-
ference call on the banker and credit
merchants in the cotton states “to
use the utmost endeavor to bring
about the enforcement of a cotton
acreage reduction by refusing to ad-
vance in money to any one interested
in farming of any kind who does not
plan enough food and feed crops for
their owners.
Land owners are asked to share in
whatever crops may be raised on his
lands on a percentage basis and not
require any fixed sum of money or
pounds of cotton for rent.
A system of bonded warehouses for
cotton and a classification of cotton
that will be ample to protect it from
weather damage and make it safe col-
lateral on which to borrow money was
indorsed.
A system of co-operative marketing
•of crops was favored and the work of
the American Cotton Association in
n effort to stabilize the price of cot-
ton, bring about a reduction of acre-
age, improve marketing methods, and,
id the educational campaign for di-
versification of crops was approved.

“I was nearly dead until I found1.
Eatonic and I can truly say it saved
my life. It is the best stomach medi-

Acid stomach causes awful misery
which Eatonic quickly gets rid of by
taking up and carrying out the acidity
and gases which prevent good diges-

quick relief. Keeps the stomach
healthy and helps to prevent the many
ills so liable to arise from excess acid.
