Christmas Greeting.

Today we deviate from the usual course of
store advertising and send this message of
sincere thanks and cordial good wishes to all of
those, who with their generous patronage have
contributed to our prosperity.
The year which has just closed, despite the
unfavorable conditions that existed during its
earlier months has favored us with increased
purchases, and many new friends have been
registered on our list of permanent patrons This
tells us pleasing story of the pubic's growing
appreciation of our efforts to serve best. To
say that we are thankful for the patronage you
have given us is but an inadequate expression of
our gratitude, and we not only thank you in
words, but shall SHOW our thanks in deeds of
future helpfulness, during the coming year.
We ask that each and every one of you
accept our warmest wishes for very merry
Xmas and full portion of prosperity, good
health and happiness during the New Year.

the children for the last time, of the ordinance
regarding sliding on the sidewalks, which will
be strictly enforced.
Mr.. and Mrs. Irving L. Perry and daughter,
Miss Marian are to leave Belfast about the
first of the new year for ST. Augustine. Fla,

MP. Woodcock & Son sold out their supply
of Red Cross Christmas stamps before the end
of last week and sent for fresh supply, which
arrived Monday. The 500 which came Monday
morning was sold out by Monday night, and
Tuesday and Wednesday there were many calls
for them. Belfast's record is 1000 stamps and
Mr. Woodcock thinks he could have doubled
that total if it had been possible to get larger
supply in time. Thirty million Red Cross
Christmas stamps have been sold to date, net
ting the American Red Cross in the neighbor-
hood of 100000, to be expended in the war
against tuberculosis.

In one OF the prettiest, most exciting
xames seen at Eddy park this season
the Eddys defeated the Bissos by a
score OF 4 TO 8. Tyrus Cobb, the great
potrult player, was again in the EDDY
/ 1fno.up. and his work was sensational

~ one OF their famous garrison
1nishes, At the beginning OF tho
eighth inning the score was to y
saGainst them. With three men on
bases Cobb walloped out three
baggsr and tied the score. One more
run In the ninth inning clinched the
eame.
Cobb was again greeted with large
crowd, and an enthusiastic one. The
came was full OF features and tho
crowd was kept yelling all the time.
FOR the first ave innings "Ty" played
ArSt base, and then he went on the
mound for the remainder Of the game,
holding the Bissos down without q
bingle. Perez pitched nice game,
and only went out to give Cobb a
I chance to pitch. The game was good
one from start to finish. and Cobb
played with all the xest and vigor pos
Gible.
The fact that "Ty" has brought his
wife to the city with him. and that he
will play with the Eddys for a month
or more, IT, certainly good news to
fandom. Negotiations are being made
BY Manager @. e. p. Murray, of the
Eddys, to bring several other big
seaguers down here. Cobb will appear

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. Great
interest centers about the arrival OF
Billy Papke at $40 tomorrow morning
from San Francisco. With Papke will
come big Sam Berger. the Fillmore-st.

Papkes new manager.
Papke's ex-manager. Tom Jones. will
be at the Arcade depot 70 meet the
visitors, as will be about rs OF the lead
ing sporting and newspaper men OF
Los Angeles. There Is an air Of mys-
terry CT 1cerning Papke's unceremo-
MUS dismissal Of Jones. II has been
thought all along that Jones was the
most successful OF m ..nagsrs. In fact,
the southern California sports look
upon Jones In the light OF second

enough to pull down 5000 at Colma
Thursday when the total gate receipts
were only S13.374, was looked upon as
q great boost for the Kswaneeap's

have been good, showing that Jones
was on the job at all hours. When

peared to be as close as two brothers
