WHO WILL PLAY SANTA TO
TO CHILDREN OF
PADUCAH?
READ THIS RECIPE FOR A
MERRY CHRISTMAS.

II Is up TO the Good Fellows Of
Paducah this year to see that there
lare no empty stockings in the city
on Christmas morning. Right here
In Paducah every year there have
been many children who bounded
out of bed ON Christmas morning to
find their little stockings empty as
the night before, and all the comfort
that the sorrowful mother could give
was, Santa Claus must have lost his
way; for am certain that he did not
intend to miss you" Still that did
not satisfy the childish hearts; for
Christmas without the visit OF Santa
Claus is not Christmas.
The Good Fellow movement which
was inaugurated last year in Chi
Icago has spread rapidly over the en-
tire country. and now Santa Claus an
|nually visits thousands OF homes that
were overlooked in the years gone
by. Last year In Paducah the move
ment was taken up only few days
before Christmas and II bore fruit;
but because of the short period of
publicity given IL many Coco Fell
lows did not get all the pleasure out
of the holidays that they deserved
But this year every Good Fellow
in Paducah will have an opportunity
to make one child or as many chil-
dren as he desires happy. The plan
Is simple. 1t Is to notify the Philan-
lthrophic department of the Woman's
club, PA South Seventh street. hav-
ing in charge the charity work of
the city, how many children of
families you can make happy this
Christmas. The department will
furnish every Good Fellow the names
land address of the desired number Of
children, and then the benefactors
lon Christmas eve will have the
license to play Santa Claus. 1t is a
duty that should be performed by
every Good Fellow for the sight OF
the joy that the presents bring to the
poor children of the city is worth
many times the expense. The depart
ment this year will be able to furn-
serving families, where there are
children who are strangers to old
Saint Nick.
IL Is certain that there Is a large
number of Good Fellows in Paducah,
who will be eager to respond to the
appeal to fill the empty stockings In
Paduoah on Christmas morning, and
to bring Joy into many homes. Last
year the Good Fellows reported It
the best fun of their lives 70 see the
youngsters enjoy themselves. They
enjoyed IL more than the gifts that
they received themselves.
OF course II is only fair to the
children that they should be re-
membered with some toy. but the
real need of many children in the
city is for substantial gifts. such as
warm clothing.
I The Good Fellows will not be pub
lished. but the names and actresses of
the children will be given to them on
application.
Anybody can join the lodge OF
Good Fellows. Write a letter some
thing like this:
I live at No. =. :. ........ street.
