CAMPAIGN AGAINST USELESS
CHRISTMAS G|ETS is BEGUN
"Spugs" Addressed Mrs. August Belmont in New York; Hope
to Suppress WasteuI and Insncefe Giving Is Aid to Girls
in Stores and Factories.

| of the moment she said, "or some
particular cause, because then 1t
means that you have collected a
sense of human fellowship of which
the money collected is but an express
sion We do not approve of it when
It Is for the man lower down instead
Of for the man higher up.
Some persons think that we op-
pose giving. Far from it; we do not
oppose giving, but we advocate intel
ligent giving-giving that is done
with the Christmas spirit Of goodwill
as distinguished from giving that is
compulsory; from fear or with the
hope of obtaining reward-whether
that reward be the favor of the man
higher up or advancement. The world
at large should put more of the
Christmas spirit into giving. Christ
mas should be time for every per-
son to do his or her share.
Some folks say to us, of course,
you want to promote useful giving
This word useful has many changes
of meaning. Usually when one
thinks of useful present, 1t is
present decidedly middle-class or
commonplace. So we do not attempt
to promote useful giving in the COM
monty accepted definition of that
word. The thing we are really out to
do is to abolish something. We feel
that when we have done that there
Will follow good sense in giving and
that everybody will be profited there
by.
We propose to decrease the cost of
the gift and increase the good will:
to make the heart of Father Christ
mas rejoice by little acts of kindness,
unselfishness, by putting thought in
to the gift We sent our dear ones.
Give generously; but from your heart
with all your thought. Don't make
business of giving, make 1t an art.
Don't waste what should be q season
of goodwill freely given"

New York. 12---A countrywide ap-
peal for the abolition OF the useless
Christmas gift and a plea for INTEL
ligent and thoughtful giving instead
were voiced last night by Mrs. Aug
ust Belmont, president of the Spugs,
at the opening meeting of the 1915
campaign to be waged by that organ
ization against insincerity, compul-
sion and waste in Christmas giving.
At this meeting the membership
rolls of the Spugs-The Society for
Prevention of Useless Giving-were
thrown open to all residents of the
United States who might want to en-
roll against the foolish Christmas
gift. Having grown from a handful
to more than 5000 within a few
weeks during the last Christmas sea-
son, the Spugs have outlined for this
year national campaign and hope
to establish societies in all cities and
towns throughout the country.
Mrs. ]. Borden Hartman presided
at tonight's meeting. District Attor-
ney Whitman, newly enrolled as
member, and Francis Crowninshield
delivered addresses. Mrs. Belmont
was the orator of the evening. The
original purpose of the society, she
said, was to prevent compulsory CIV
ing by girls In stores and factories to
their employers, the custom of collec-
tive giving which the girls felt they
could not afford but which they could
not avoid without embarrassment and
possible loss of their positions. This
was one of the chief objects of the
society, she added. but not the only
one. Another prime attainment
sought, she said, was a general culti
vation, by all classes of givers, of
more thoughtfulness and epression of
personality in making Christmas
gifts.

Local Odd Fellows have received
word from Glenwood Springs that

years ago that the capital should be

wanted it.
Glenwood business men will prob

CHICAGO GOOD MART.

Chicago, Nov. 12.-The apple mar
ket is strong and active. There is
even a better feeling in medium
goods, which had heretofore been ne
elected. Receipts of bulk apples have
become smaller, and the peddler trade
has returned to barrelled stock
There is also fair shipping de-
mand. With the firmer feeling the
market has advanced 25c on red va
rieties generally, and an additional
25c for No. l to extra fancy stock
There is good movement in box
apples. Jonathans sell s175 to sails
and Delicious s2.50 to $500. Bulk
apples sell readily, and what small
receipts there are are easily taken
care of. Bulk apples range 75c to
S1.25.

AHNACE OF
ELI.uORN CREEK.

Terror gripped the hearts of the
PEOPLE Of Elkhorn creek for miles
below Jenkins last Wednesday night
as the whistle at the great power
house there shrieked for one long
hour, and riders sent in every d.
rection by the Consolidation Coal
Co., told them to flee for their lives
as the great reservoir. just above
the power station, had sprung aleak
and was overflowing feet. threat
ening to turn a flood of water loose
that would spread death and de-
struction from Jenkins to the mouth
of the creek and leave devastation
In its wake. Homes were DESERT
ed, the entire population took to the
mountains, and there slept in the
cold and rain through the night and
were afraid to return to their homes
for many days thereafter.
This was one of the terrible ca
lamities that threatened humanity
during the flood period last week.
The dam which was the cause of all
this fear and uneasiness is wall
40 feet high, and about 900 feet
long, running from hill to hill, and
backing the waters of the creek for
about the distance of one mile. The
Consolidation Coal Co., constructed
this dam at Jenkins for the purpose
of supplying water to their immense
plant at that place
The little settlement of Jenkins
Is just below the great reservoir and
the company's million dollar power
house would have been the first
building carried way by the floods.
The town, with its 5000 people
would have been entirely at the
mercy of the avalanche of waters,
had they not been warned.
The people of jenkins, and in fact
OF the entire creek, have resolved
that the menace be removed, and
the general opinion here is that
there viii be no cessation of hos
tilities between the authorities of
the company and the people until 1t
Is done.
