All hail the Good Fellowsl BY
their noble work good cheer was
spread in many homes. The knock OF

doors and joyous hearts were caused
in many homes. Owing to the Christ
mas rush the reorganization of the
work of the Good Fellows has not
been completed. but there was a
broad extention OF the work over last

II every Good Fellow could relate
his experiences. they would make in
teresting reading. An insight of the
charity work was given many per-
sons, who were In the dark concern
ing the misery and poverty of the
world. Some of the Good Fellows
were enthusiastic over their work,
and will make a New Years resolu-

TO a Good Fellow, but a neck scarf
end some food was purchased from
the money contributed by Good Fell

home. The patient was overjoyej
