Preparations are going quietly for ward for the municipal Christmas tree, to be held on Union Square, Christmas Eve, Christmas night and New Year s Eve at 730, and on Saturday the 27th at D. m for the children. Mrs. William B. Birge, who is ar ranging for the matter of the church bells ringing for five minutes at the close of the evening exercises, is re- ceiving general assurances of coop eration from the pastors consulted assistanceF7t
 daiity has notified Mrs. Frank L. Far rell, chairman of the programme com mittee, of it's willingness to assist in any manner Director Charles D. Geer may indicate
 Rev. Theodore Bauck, pastor of the German Lutheran church promises the valued assistance of his church choir and organist.
 From Rev. Edward $. Worcester pastor of Broadway Congregational church, and Rev. Herbert J. Wyckoff of the Second Congregational church the committee has received evidences of the most helpful interest.
 Through Superintendent E. J.. Gra- ham of the town schools, the chairman is notifying the children of the big rehearsal of children to be held al the town hall on Saturday afternoon next, under direction of Prof J. Her bert George
 A big feature of the evening sing ing is to be the combined German choruses of Norwich and Taftvflle, o1 which Joseph Peringer is taking charge. The splendid voices of these trained singers will prove a notable addition to the programme.
 The choir directors of the Methodist and Baptist churches and of St. Pat rtcks church have reported favorably and enthusiastically to the committee

 It is planned to end the formal ex- ercises with the singing of America by the entire assemblage
 The splendid spirit of co-operatior manifested and the great abundance oi talent to call upon, is making the work of the programme committee comparatively easy. It is doubtful ii any city of the size of Norwich could produce so many trained voices or SC many willing and helpful workers or such short notice
 The project of having the opening exercises Christmas eve. is considered a big thing for the city as it will at tract hundreds here; and as the exer- cises will be over by 8.15 or S.30, the visitors will have ample time to dc their final buying before leaving fol home

GALL WOOL AND
 A YARD WIDE P

That time honored expression means more these days than it used to mean.
 When you see it in the adVer- tlsement of a reputable merchant you know it is an exact state- ment of fact, not a catch phrase.
 Advertisers nowadays plan to build business-not merely to make immediate sales. They know that a caFelessly made statement would come back to plague them, so they weigh their words carefully.
 There is no news that goes into the newspaper that is more carefully edited or held to more ironclad statements of fact than the advertising of reputable mer- chants.
 As a big merchant expresses the general sentiment, Money spent to advertise a lie is worse than money thrown away. 1t is money spent for a sword by which you must commit business suicide.'
 P. Don't delay that Christi mas shopping.
