As the glad Christmas time approaches it
is the desire of every one to do some
thing to make others happy and no

others The law compes all children of
suitable age to attend school, and it is the
duty OF every one to see that none are kept
away for the lack of clothing. There are
many things of no use to the possessor which
would add much to the comfort OF Others.
Two overcoats are wanted by oys 10 and
IL years of age, who are not able to buy and
cannot attend school without. The members
of the W. r. c. hope that the spirit Of frater-
nifty, charity and loyalty will exteId to all.
