 The industrial room at the Cham Der of Commerce bore striking re- semblance to heavily stocked sec- ond hand store this morning when several wagon loads of clothing, shoes, hats and other articles of wearing apparel were stored in the room for distribution among the poor of Paragould.
 The bundle day idea was suggest ed by some of the members of the United Charities who felt certain there were articles of clothing and shoes in every home in the city that could be spared for the service of those in distress. The plan was thor oughly advertised and every house. spare articles and place them on the front porch to be called for yesterday afternoon. Bertig Bros., the s. L. Joseph Mercantile Co.,, the Pearce Transfer Go. and the Whitsitt Trans fer Company each furnished wagons and drivers free of charge to collect the bundles They divided the city into sections and spent the entire afternoon hauling loads of clothing to the industrial room of the Cham Der of Commerce.
 This afternoon Mrs. Joe Wolf is sorting out the clothing and sending some of it to families that are in dire need. In this connection Mrs. Wolf says the United Charities IS acting in the capacity of an employ ment agency and will be glad to fur nish men and women to do any kind of work She requests that citizens having odd jobs to do about the premises or housewives wanting help in the home phone to her or to Mrs. c. w. Stedman and they will send suitable parties to do the work.
 We also want a vacant lot or vacant building," said Mrs. Wolf, in which to store wood. A number of poor people are cutting wood but DShave no way of disposing of it. The United Charities proposes to have this wood hauled to a central point and distributed among the families in need of fuel, the organization pay ing the men for the cutting. In this -one in furnishing employment 10 those able to work; the other in hay ing wood to supply to needy fami lies. If any citizen of Paragould has a vacant piece of property ce0tral- ly located, or an old barn ill which wood can be stored, we shall certain ly be glad to have the use of the To: or barn during the winter season.
 'I want The Press to extend the thanks of the United Charities to the citizens of Paragould for their ib- eral response to our bundle day campaign. The TeSulIS were lar Del- ter than we had hoped for. If the people will continue to cooperate with us, and if each family who is able will make some contribution to charity, we will be able to relieve suffering and distress.
 II also want to state that we have many children who are willing to at tend public schools if they are pro vided with the necessary books and other articles. If the housewives will gather up the second hand books, especially those used in the lower grades, and will phone either myself or Mrs. Stedman, we will send for them and distribute them among chil- dren who wish to attend school. Don't delay this, please because we want to equip the children for school in time for the opening of the new term"
