A nostalgic Christmas piece recounts a joyous sleigh ride with Lo and Rob, village scenes, and a lost horse offer. It then portrays how southwestern Indian tribes celebrate Christmas with prayers for rain, a ceremonial dance, a Christmas tree altar, and gifts for papooses. It ends with notes on Christmas Island’s warm climate and phosphate settlement.
Readable notes show the name Iver Hoyem with a Montana post office address in Howie. The entry mentions a horse brand described as figure five inverted, identical to a cattle brand on the right thigh.
The article describes several Christmas crackers including a fireless version shaped like a firecracker. It explains the long paper tube with fringed ends pulled to crack open and reveal favors such as a grotesque cap, a Japanese napkin, a silk handkerchief, or a Christmas trinket. It notes English production of 17,000,000 crackers annually.
A feature notes about a factory employing about 700 girls who assemble thousands of crackers daily using Shectat machines for fringes pictures and cap masks. The piece describes social entertainment value and the surprise of cracking the hidden contents. It also mentions exceptionally large crackers including a giant fireless version and a colossal advertising cigar.
