True fraternalism and the highest
type of humanity is eNempliiied in the
plan announced by the local lodge of the
Improved Order of Red Men, for the
purpose of giving Christmas JOY to the
children of the poor OF this city. The
poor We have with us always, and even
in the midst of the prosperity that the
Yakima valley enjoys there are those
who know little of the Joy Of having
plenty or even sulliciency of the neces-
stiles of life, to say nothing of its lux
uries. To bring into the homes of these
some of the cheer that others have and
can spare, and to keep away some of
the little heart acnes at Christmas time
is the aim of the members of the lodge.
Therefore they have arranged for
Christmas tree and entertainment to be
given in Wisconsin hall Monday even
ing, December 26th. Santa Claus has
promised to be on hand, and he will not
for get the humblest of the poor. All
the little ones whose homes are not apt
to be remembered in his regular rounds
are urged to be on hand at the time
designated; they will be gladly well
coined

If the official, OF the North Yakima
school district had been successful in
their search for the big boys of the high
school this morning the aforesaid big
boys would have languished behind the
bars of the city bastile until their par
ents came and got them out. The boys,
in the opinion of the school officials, are
big enough and old enough to be past
the days of playing hockey, but the re-
sponsibility of their advanced station
in the schools seems to rest lightly up
on them. Considerable annoyance has
been caused by the practice. and when
six of them failed to answer to roll call
this morning a search was Immediately
instituted and their parents notified of
their absence Violations of the truancy
law may be punished by imprisonment
and otherwise, and it is stated that
some of the severest punishment pro-
vded will be melted out to the offenders.
