ner for 1S1 families; another 125 de-

by the Christian Endeavor union.
The families provided for by the Re-

school children, who have taken an I'M
usual interest in the work this year.
About two weeks ago Secretary M. L.
Hutchins, of the society, sent requests
to each school in the city asking the
pupils to contribute food or money.
Some of the rooms and classes at the
high schools decided to take one or
| two families and provide for them per-
sonally, while the pupils in other rooms
| brought what provisions they could to
school and these were sent to the Re-
lief society, which will distribute
| them.
To those rooms or classes which
wished to provide personally for some
of the poor, Secretary Hutchins fur
| nlshed names and addresses of de-
| serving families, and the dinners will
I, be taken to them by committees from
! the classes Some of the classes in the
| high schools have taken up large col
lect1ons and the dinners they will pro-
| vide will be quite elaborate, including
| turkeys or chickens, cranberries and
other delicacies.
May Get Supplies Today.
| Of the list of 1S1 families which the
! Relief society has, a large proportion
have already been assigned to schools
or individuals, and those who are not
| thus provided for may receive their
| dinner supplies at the Relief society
rooms on Ninth street today.
| The provisions furnished by the
school children, which were brought to
the rooms i'm wagon loads yesterday,
will be arranged in parcels and each
| family will be given one. Each sack
| will contain a chicken or a roast Of
| some kind, potatoes, bread, cranberries
| or fruit and other good things. =
lar The Christian Endeavorers VIII fur
nish dinners to about 1875 families.
The Christian Charities has furnished
the Christian Endeayorers with the
names OF sixty deserving families, and
the others to be provided for will be
families who attend the churches and
are known to be in need. Each So
ciety,, will endeavor to look after, the
people of its own church as we'll as
contribute to the general distribution.
| Some of the families will get two
dinners through the fact that the AS
| ISOLATED Charities and the Relief So
| ciety has secured the names of the
| same families and both had assigned
| them for outside, reief. Secretary
Hutchins discovered this yesterday
| when he sent for the Associated Chari-
| ties list and compared it with his own.
