Time FOR THE Good
FELLOWS TO WORK
SHOULD BEGIN TO SCATTER
THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
AROUND.
Hundreds of People Are in Need
of Your Services This
Year.

AIOW come all of you Good Eel
~ lows and listen for just a min
ute. You have been about your own
business all the year and most of you
have prospered. AS a matter of fact
the Chief Good Fellow happens to
know that a great many of you are
figuring on going TO New York, 10
Pittsburgh, to Bradford, Salamanca
Olean. Warren, Titusville. Parkers-
burg. Sistersville, Marietta, Robinson
and all OF the rest of the places De
tween the rising of the sun OF the oil
industry and the setting of the same
Is there a Good Fellow within the
reach of the circulation of The WoTld
who wants n monopoly on all OF the
spirit of Christmas? Is there a single
human individual wearing trousers
who calls himself a Good Fellow VINO
does not fervently desire that he can
inoculate somebody else with thaI
same atmosphere of peace on earth
and good will to men? Is there
single solitary human being VINO does
not want everybody at this season TO
feel as good as he does or she does
because there are lots of 'shemale
Good Fellows?
There are two offices where the
Good Fellows can send their conlrl-
buttons. They can either remit by
check to the office of The World or
they can send their checks or such
donations of shoes and stockings,
sugar and such like to the humane
officer in the basement of the court
house.
Many in Need.
Already The World and the humane
society are i'm possession of more
names of people who are in need than
can be Immediately supplied. Let us
not wait till Christmas eve before
sending in the things which are neces-
sarv to protect the body from cold
and which are necessary to sustain
the body against the pangs Of hunger
Delays are always dangerous and IN
the meantime some baby may be
starving at the breast of some good
woman going through the cold beg
ging for the crumb which falls from
the table of the rich man. Delays
mean a prolongation of suffering. De
lay means that you are rather
ashamed that you will do something
worthy of commcndation for the first
or second time in your life.
ostentatious display of the money
which the Good Fellows are sure to
contribute. 1t is not the intention to
spend it all in an hour nor to dissi-
pate 1t In tawdry display. The money
that the Good Fellows contribute Will
be expended under the direction of
the humane society and a strict ac-
counting kept. 1t will be spent for
shoes and stockings, for the payment
of that pressing grocery bill and the
furnishing of more groceries, 1t Will
be spent for medicine for the child
who is down with typhoid fever or for
a crutch for the bed ridden rheumatic.
It will be spent judiciously and in the
spirit and for the purpose that 1t was
contributed.
DO 1t Yourself.
Now all Of you Good Fellows get
| together and get together quick. II
| YOU are the least bit suspicious that
your money will not be properly spent,
give us your telephone number and
The World or the humane society will
give you the name and the address OF
family you can help. In truth and
/ in fact the services of a number OF
Good Fellows are needed as a COM
Inttee or a part of a committee to

and supplies.
