T.. w. Lynch Enterprises,
WORCESTER. Mass

Dear Mr. Lynch:
want to thank you personally
for arranging to let us have The
Christian for the second week. OF
course, l told you the other day that
We want the picture for another
week letter on, at that TIME had no
idea that the people would simply go
Wild 10 get into this theatre On
Thursday, Friday and Saturday. we
turned away at least five thousand
People We gave an extra perform
ance on Saturday morning and still
we didn't have room enough and
right there | went to the phone and
called to see if arrangements could
be made to hold the picture for an
other week. AS you will see in the
Providence Sunday Journal that we
played to over twenty thousand
people on that week and believe
this week viii be just as good.
Regarding the picture, | want to
say that have been in the Empire
Theatre for the last twelve years,
but never have | seen the audiences
leave this theatre more pleased and
with rs much praise as the past
week.
Thanking you again for the trouble
in arranging the second week, / am
with all best wishes,
Yours very truly,
Signed Sol, Braunig. Mgr.

OUR HOLIDAY ISSUE.

The Sheaf appears this week as a
double number in order to give room
for a large amount of reading matter
OF special interest at this happy sea-
son of the year. Every page is filled
with good things for our readers,
both young and old. The Christmas
stories and poems and the attractive
pictures, will surely please.
A large amount of space is devoted
to the holiday announcements of the
business men of the city. They are
offering many special bargains, that
the careful and discriminating Christ
mas shopper will find it profitable to
take advantage of, Every advertise
ment in this paper deserves to be
read, and carefully read. All the
stores of Warren have piled up goods
on their shelves for the holiday trade
as never before, and many bargains
are offered that can not be duplicated
anywhere else. In this connection it
IS well to bear in mind that the early
buyer has the choice Of selection.

last moment. Read the ads, then visit
the stores, and make your purchases.

BASKET BALL OPENS
AT NORTH STAR,

The first game of basket ball this
season was played Saturday evening
between the quints of the Stephen
High School and the North Star
College. Stephens men had the adj
vantage over the collegians in that
they had played together several sea-
sons and showed it by their splendid
team work. North Star, on the other
hand, had only two men who might
be called old players, while for the
rest Of the team this was their first
public appearance.
However, the North Star hoop
shooters have not reached their eli
max IN development and it is expect
ed that in the near future they will
furnish the basket ball fans of this
city something unusal in basket ball.
For Stephen, two pair of brothers,
Sinclair and Hanson, showed up in
great form and might be called the
life Of the Stephen team. For North
Star Pihlstrorn and Neil Sinclair, did
the stellar work. Pihlstro1n's foul
shooting was exceptionally good.
The score which is large, 76 to IS,
shows that both teams played ball
all the time. A large crowd of
rooters and fans were present.

ORATORIO CHORUS
PRESENTS RUTH.

The Warren Oratorio Chorus added
fresh laurels to the reputation of
Warren as a musical center on Mon
day evening, when the beautiful can
tata Ruth, by Gaul, was rendered
before an appreciatiye audience at
the opera no use, under the direction
Of Miss Lille Anderson, teacher of
music and voice, at North Star
College. Notwithstanding the short
time that has been devoted to prac-
tice, the grand com position was well
sung, rejecting cretiiiit upon Miss
Anderson, the director, and the entire
chorus. The program has appeared
in our columns before. Miss Ander-
son as Ruth, Miss Nora Bake as
Naomi and Miss Ella Lundgren as
Orpah, rendered their respective solo
parts in a highly satisfactory and
pleasing manner. Miss Olga Her
manson, director of music at North
Star, was the accompanist and she
also gave special number from List
in her usually perfect rendition. The
violin solo by B. H. Anderson proved
him to be a 1nastor on that instru-
ment. Nels 2. Bystrom,. bass, sang
the part Of Boas with much power
and skill.
The chorus deserves the thanks of
all seng lovers Of Warren and vicin-
ity for the splendid entertainment.

MAKE CHRISTMAS
TREES FIREPROOF,

"Do your Christmas shopping ear
~" suggests Robert w. Hargadine
state fine marshal: "Do your Christ
mas tree fire preventing early"
Last year Christmas trees in
homes in Minnesota resulted in
$4,000 property damages, not to men
ton many painful injuries received
by persons attempting to extinguish
flames caused by the very inflam-
n1able material which decorated the
trees.
The departments suggests that If a
Christmas tree must be used, ii
should be trimmed with freproof
decorating material. Cotton and tin
sci, the old standby of Santa Claus
should be tabooed in the home on this
joyful occasion, he says and mas
much as. there are many products
now created with which to decorate
the tree and at the same time make
it fireproof, there should not be one
fire reported this year from this
source.

BANK INSTALLs
WONDERFUL MACHINE

The State Bank of Warren has lust
added a remarkable machine to it's
equipment machine that posts
ledgers and makes out customers
statements. There won't be any
more night work balancing pass
books at the end of each month for
the bank has done away with the
old pass book system and adopted the
Statement System which the banks
in the largest cities are using.
People who are not acquainted
with the inside workings of a bank
will not fully realize the great adj
vantages of machine work over hand
work IN posting to the ledger The
pig advantages of using the machine
Is the saving in time and in the inn
provement in the appearance and
leglbllity of the ledger sheet.
Heretofore the clerks when posting
to the ledger had to first make list
OF checks and then list of deposits.
on each account add each list sonar
ately and then subtract to get a bal
ance. This is all accomplished in one
operation by the new machine.
One Of the remarkable features Of
the machine is that it automatically
detcts and marks overdrafts with
minus sign. When the checks exceed
the deposits no result can be printed
unless the lever is in the Subtract
position.
The machine automatically adds
the deposits to the old balance and
subtracts the checks as they are list
ed. The new balance is computed
and proved simply by taking a total.
The bank will save at least iftv
per cent in time by the machine
method. Then too, there is no DOS
slbllity Of an error as che machine
cannot make mistake. The saving
in this means something to the pat
rons Of the bank for this time can be
devoted to the Improvement Of the
already excellent service which the
State Bank is now giving to its pat
rons.
The bank is also using the machine
in connection with its recently adopt
ed system Of sending out monthly
statements
The statements are written en-
tlrely on the machine which means
absolute accuracy and printed fig
ures. The big feature of course. is
tEat the customer will no longer have
to wait for his pass book to Be bal
anced.
Heretofore if a customer wanted a
statement Of his account in the mid
die of the month, he would be com
PEELED to wait until the clerk went
through the ledger for the first Of the
month-made a list of checks and de-
posits-listed each check and deposit
and added each check. and deposit
and added each list and then subtract
to get balance or an overdraft.
With the new adding-subtract;np
machine in use the customers ac-
count is balanced daily. Each day
the statements are taken out of the
binder-put into the machine and
checks and deposits listed-a total
taken and the balance carried for
ward ready for the next days posting.
Now when customer wants a state
ment at any time all the clerk has to
do Is go to the ledger and take off
the Last figures posted which will be
statement of the customers account
right up-to-date.
