BUSINESS MEN GET OUT AND
 SELL PAPERS
Fifty Prominent Live Wires on Streets Selling Papers to Spread the Christmas Spirit i'll the City of. Phoenix

Fifty prominent business men and younger live wires will go out on the streets of Phoenix this morning, wheth- CT the sun shines or not for the purpose of selling papers to provide a fund to spread a little sunshine into the hearts and homes Of many in Phoenix who will have a pleasant and happy Christ mas unless somebody else provides for them The plans for the movement have been completed up to the handle and today sees the big busy men of Phoenix laying aside their business matters for the nonce for the benefit of the less fortunate little brother.
 Every salesman is wearing a Red Ribbon with the word Newsie written upon it. while many Of the fellows who sold papers in their youth are showing the little chaps of today just How it is done in big city Some of the Big Brothers are successful sellers of pa
 
 it, and it is getting back to boyhood for them to engage in the stunt. Every cent derived from the sale of two thousand papers will be given to this fund. and no one is expected to buy paper for the ordinary five cent piece that it brings on regular days There will be but little use of the whole thing if this were so.
 John Ryder every resourceful, while not able to join with the others in the work has consented to give fine hat to the sellar today who takes in the most money. This is the contribution he gives to stimulate the game against the other fellows time Already many have bespoken the hat and a sharp con test is in sight. Already many folks around the city have promised to give dollar for a copy of the paper this morning
 Buy paper it will help somebod! 1 have a pleasant Christmas.
