Dear Juniors:
Next week we will have paper

cially hope that all the Juniors to
whom prizes have been awarded Will
enroll their names at once. We are
happy to say that many, many o.
tumwa Juniors who belonged to the
1912 Christmas Stocking club are
members of the 1918 club, too. In the
enrolment are ten Chicago Juniors,
two Eau Claire, Wis, Juniors, three
Walla Walla, Wash, Juniors, besides
Juniors from Eldon, Selma, Russell,
Charlton, Abba and the rural routes.

We hope the members of the 1913
Christmas Stocking club will bring in
their stockings right away. We
are ready to take care of them now.
We hope to have a great many sent
| in Saturday. OF course, the donors
must suit their own convenience. We
will have a place for every pair Of
stockings, no matter how late they
are brought in.
One year ago today the 1912 Christ
mas Stocking club had a membership
of PTS. Today, the 1913 Christmas
Stocking club has a membership Of
400.
This year we want the membership
to reach at least 700.
The Courier Junior was the nrst
Christmas club in Iowa, or any OF
the nearby states and was planned
right here in this office, December,
1908. Its purpose Is to help little chill
dren at Christmas time, whose par
ents fail to tell Santa Claus OF their
existence.
All one has to do to become mem
Der of the club is to give nice pair
of we'll filled stockings or a small
amount of money.
Into one stocking put some candy
and nuts, also a toy, an orange, pair
of mittens, an apple and the other
stocking. Many of the Juniors fill both
stockings. On the card with the do
nor's name put the age of child Tor
whom the stockings are intended.
The Courier will publish the names
of members of the club every day until
Christmas. The stockings need not be
brought in until a few days before
Christmas but the Courier Junior
wants to have the names Of the chill
dren and grownups, who care to be-
long to the club right away. Juniors
and grownups living at distance can
send a pair of stockings, also a little
money.
The Courier Junior is so glad to
bring untold pleasure to many needy
little children.
The stockings will be left just as
the donors bring them in, and will be
distributed Christmas eve direct from
this office, among little children whose
parents are unable to provide any
