MONEY CLUBS
OF Local Banks Bring Christmas
Cheer to Their Hosts
of Patrons.

Almost ten thousand dollars will
be put into circulation in this city
and surrounding territory within the
next several days by the Christmas
savings clubs carried on by the local
banks.
Celina trade circles will reap the
benefit of these savings in Christmas
gift buying and the business prosper
ity will be greatly augmented. True
not all the money will be put in cir
culation. Some of the depositors
will not spend the full amount of
their Christmas savings, but will have
tidy little sum left over to start the
New Year,
The movement is great promoter
of thrift People who have never
thought they could save, have found
it no trouble at all to put by nice
little sum- People this year who
were wont to wonder where their
Christmas money would come from
uOW uAu LnGIloGlNCS III bAAC pSpSCSo
ion of that which will enable them
to enjoy the holiday to the fullest ex-
tent
The movement was started two
years ago and met with such good re-
suits in 1914 that in 1915 the army
of depositors was trebled.
Teller Grover Howick, of the First
National Bank, who has charge of
that institutions Christmas Money
! Club department, informed us yester-
day afternoon that he had just finish
ed mailing out their Christmas Club
checks, a special Christmas decorated
check, used only in this department,
and that the total amount of the
checks, which included the deposits
and interest paid by the bank,
amounted to more than $4,000.
This amount is far in excess of last
year.
Assistant Cashier e. j Hierholzer,
of the Commercial Bank, said yester-
day that the checks to their deposit
ors in the Christmas Money Club,
which will be mailed out today and
tomorrow will be about three times
as large as last year.
This excess in deposits over last
year shows that the movement is a
popular one and both banks are plan
ming for big campaigns for next year,

HE COULDN'T HELP TT

An observation by the Upper San
dusky Chief seems well taken. This
is it,
Newton N. Bunnall, of Lebanon,
member of the corn boys party to
Washington, had no more reached
that city until he gave out an inter-
view criticizing President Wilson and
the national department of agricul-
ture. Bunnell happens to be a mem
Der of Governor Willis now famous
State Board of Agriculture. Instead
of being in the east telling other
greater men than he how to conduct
the nations business, Bunnell ought
to be back in Ohio, using his wonder
full brain figuring out some scheme
to wipe out the deficit caused by the
1915 state fair which was under his
partial management and to pay off
many of the debts which the fair still
owes 1t also is not improper to ask
whether BunnelPs expenses on the
JOY trip we're paid by him self, the
railroad company, or the state? The
kind Of talk given out by Bunnell and
others of his kind demonstrates the
class of cheap politicians which Will
lis has surrounded himself with.
Hope Is left, however. for they will
go back to private life early in 1917,

ST. LOUIS
Captures Democratic Nation.
al Convention
To BE Held Next Summer 90 Nom.
inate the Next President
June Ia the Date.

Washington, Dec THE Demo
cratic national convention of 1915
will be held in st. Louis, beginning
Wednesday. June ID, at noon. The
Democratic National Committee to-
night named the convention city and
adopted resolutions calling for the
denomination and reelection of
Woodrow Wilson as "the trusted
leader of national democracy.
Chicago and Dallas contested with
st. Louis for the honor of the con-
yention but ST. Louis easily led from
the start and won on the second bal
lot. When the trend of voting was
seen, Texas moved that the choice of
st. Louis be made unanimous Dali
las held second place on the first
ballot but was displaced by Chicago
on the second roll call.
The result of the first ballot was
st. Louis 25, Dallas IA, Chicago 13,
On the second ballot the vote was
st. Louis 28, Chicago IS, and Dal-
las nine. The majority for st.
Louis was gained on this ballot when
John T. McGraw arose near the end
Of the call and changed West Vir-
ginia's vote from Chicago to the Mis-
souria city Then the choice was
made unanimous.
1t has been customary heretofore
for our national conventions to be-
gin work on Tuesday. The fact that
Tuesday fell on the 18th next year
may or may not have had something
to do with the determination of the
Democratic committee to begin the
proceedings a day later. The official
explanation, however, was to the eff
feet that the convention would not
require more than three or four days
to complete its work and it would
not be too late in the week to start
on Wednesday

The spelling school held Friday ev-
.ening at the Chattanooga school in
Liberty township was very largely at
tended, and the interest was intense
throughout the evening.
The spelling contest among the
schools by six different schools, each
determined to win the honors of be-
ing the best spoilers therein.
All pupils showed that they had
made a hard study of the list of
words prepared for them by the Dis
trict Superintendent These not be-
ing of a sufficient number, words TAX
en- from the State Course yof Study
were used until the winner of the
contest was decided,
AS result the eighth grade of the
Chattanooga schools represented by
their best speller, Ralph Rhothaar,
won the honors of being the champ
ion speller of Liberty township.
Much credit however, must be given
to the quartet of spoilers from the
Landfair school who previously were
the winners. They say they will win
the next time.
The free for all spell-down in
which teachers, pupils and school pa
irons took part was equally as inter-
esting. More difficult words were used
in this class. The word rendezvous
proved to be the stumbling block to
the last four spoilers, and no one
spelled down. The ciphering honors
were won by Edward Bauer and
Louis Gehm.
