Plan of Penland Brothers
Results Happily to the Al
most Overlooked.
PEOPLE GIVE GENEROUSLY
More Toys for Children, and Food Can
Yet be PLACED Where They arc
Needed and VIII be Appreciated
Recipients Wild With Delight.

Penland Bros, proprietors of the
local delivery system, have proven
themselves the practical Santa Claus
assistants and thanks to the generous
response made to their appeal there
are numerous homes in Pendleton
that are today supplied with the ne
cessities of life where yesterday the
wolf was snarling close to the door.
| TT has worked fine" declared
Claud Penland this morning who was
/ handling the office end of the work
while his brothers were out with teams
/ gathering and distributing voluntary
Christmas offerings among the poor.
I'VE have had al kinds of calls and
were kept busy all yesterday after
noon and expect to be busy through
out the day. We now have half
dozen calls from different homes
where they have things to give.
Most of the gifts have been in the
form of clothing and there is a need
for more provisions. Toys and little
things for the children will also be
very acceptable. Many people have
given large assohtments of clothing
and it has all be distributed where it
. is needed. Some have given pro-
visions and a number have given us
money with which to buy such things
as we found to be needed
In one instance that came to our
notice money served a good purpose.
A little girl in a family that is very
poor had burned herself on the stove.
She was in need of medical attention
and the people feared to call doc
tor because they could not pay. We
secured physician and he cared for
the little girl without pay. We also
got some medicine which the drug
stores gave at half price. So we used
some of the money to buy some toys
for the little girl and she nearly wen.
wild with delight. They are probably
the first toys the little girl has ever
had"
According to Penland Bros. they
have been warmly encouraged in the
work they are doing. Scores of peo-
pie have told them they are only too
glad to give something for poor people
but had not been doing so because
they did not know personally OF such
cases. The deliverymen do and so
serve as the go-between. There are
at least eight families here where the
people have been actually destitute and
needed the food ana clothing that has
been given them Furthermore they
were very willing to take what was Of
fcred and expressed thankfulness.
Penland Bros. will continue their
Santa Claus work tomorrow and in
fact as long as donations continue to
pour in. The churches of the city
are aiding in the work today and to-
morrow and their offerings will be
distributed by the Penlands.
Meanwhile Santa Claus says that
provisions and little toys for children
are now more needed here than any
thing else.

disclosures are looked for Wednesday
when the federal grand jury re umes
its probe into the alleged dynamite
plots. Although it has been reported
that indictments will be returned by

timony of the local probe is in be-

imately a dozen witnesses. the most
important of which are Tvietmoe, Jo-
hannsen and Clancy, will be heard

"Peace on Earth 'and Good
Will to Men" Manifest on
Every Hand.
OBSERVANCE is PERFECT
City's Homes Scenes of Happiness
While Churches Offer Programs,
Symbolic OF Occasion of Entrance OF
the Blessed Christ Child.

Today is the anniversary of the
birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God
and the Savior of Mankind, and the
entire Christian world is joining In
making the day the most memorable
of the whole year. 1t has been almost
1000 years now since the star of
Pethleham was beheld announcing
birth of new king whose sway was
destined to extend TO the remotest cor
ner of the earth and to last through all
succeeding ages TO eternity, king
whose uniting force was TO be the
power of love.
This day then is one of "peace on
earth and good will to men, when
all strife, rancour and i'll feeling are
forgotten in the commemoration of
the advent into the world of the
Prince of Peace.
Pendleton's observation of the day
is more complete than the observ-
ance of any other national holiday
All stores, banks and places of busi-
ness and all public offices have clos
ed their doors for the day and only
the churches with their special
Christmas programs invite the pass
erby to enter.
The homes of the city are the scenes
of the greatest happiness for scarcely
a one but has been visited by gen.
erous Santa Claus. Family reunions
are numerous for the day is one when
the average person likes to be with
those nearest and dearest to him oil
her and the closing of all business
activities affords an opportunity for
hearthside gatherings.
Altogether 1t is n very merry
Christmas for Pendleton and the good
cheer of the day is circulating In
abundance among the people.

GL0OMS INVADE
WALL ST. TODAY
Wary Public Does Not
Furnish Cash For
Gifts

New York, Dec. 25.-Wall street or
at least that portion of Wall street
that depends upon its prosperity up
on the activity of the stock market,
Is spending a dull and dreary Christ
mas. Not only the professional ope-
rators but the brokers and clerks as
well, for lack of anything better to
do, are signing longingly for the
good old days" of five and six years
ago when automobiles and steam
yachts were the proper and frequent
thing in the way of Christmas pres
ents in the financial district.
The cause Of the present doldrum
in the region where most persons as
sumo that money is always plentiful
is due to various causes. The most
serious of these is the fact that the
public steadfas.ly declines to come
back into the speculative market.
The frequency with which the gov
ernment's legal club descends upon
the heads of corporations whose Sc
curities are traded in largely upon
the various exchanges is another in
fluence that sends nervous chills
coursing up and down the spinal col
umns of the professional stock trad
ing element.
A third prospective cause of gloom
among the bulls and bears is the
early adoption of banking and cur
rency reform along the nes propos-
ed under the national reserve asso-
citation plan. AS this change will
give a strong preference to CONNER
cial paper as security for bank loans,
and in fact will prohibit loans on
stocks and bonds as collateral except
under stringent restrict ons, 1t will
deprive Wall streets SPECTATORS of
the use of the vast sums drawn from
all parts of the country upon which
they now depend for carrying on their
operations.
Altogether the mood of the erst-
while gay stock gambler is a dismal
one not only because of his present
situation, but also because he sees
small hope for its improvement in
the near future.
