The Community
Christmas Tree

Time is fleeting and now but three
days remain in which to complete the
great work in connection with that
Civic or Community Christmas Tree,
about which SO much is being said.
and still more done.
With the passing of the days and
weeks and the rapid approach of the
Christmas. season, interest in the
work has spread to wider and wider
areas, as a circle of water widens to
the very shores when stone is
dropped into the stream.
Oh, the opportunity there is on
every hand for bringing cheer to
needy homes. How much want there
is. is best known to those who have
been working hand and heart and
soul to relieve the condition. In the
process of delving the various com
mittees. with the assistance Of their
friends about the city. have formulat-
ed a long list of those whom wecan
all help. and these are rapidly being
cared for in the way of food, clothing
and coal.
On Christmas evening there will be
a short. but impressive program. and
then the arrival of that dear old
Santa Claus with his candy and nuts
for all the kiddies. The provisions
will all be given out privately. II any

previous TO that time. so no one will
be embarrassed on this glad occasion
All will meet on common plane and
be served alike.
St Lukes Episcopal Guild has
kindly offered its support and the la
dies will assist in serving coffee on
Christmas evening. In fact, by refer
ence to the accompanying list. it will
be seen that there is scarcely an or
ganization of any kind that has not
rendered valuable aid.
The big tree was installed on Mon
day of this week. in front of the Lin
coin school building. and very pretty
tree it is. The local order of Elks Sc
cured and set II and the Western Col
orado Power company will equip IL

sincere thanks and appreciation.
The program will commence prompt

Georgetown and the Maryland Agri-

seasons tomorrow The Blue and Gray
nine is in New York, where it meets
Fordham in the annual Decoration day
contest, and the College Park aggrega-
ton plays at home with the United
states Marine Corps team as its op-
ponent. Tomorrow also is a big day
at NJ. A. c.. it being the occasion of
Farmers day. when thousands of
farmers from every part of the state
visit the college.
If Georgetown gets away with the
long end of the score in it's game with
Fordham it will have had a good sea-
son. True the Blue and Gray did not
go through very successful northern
trip on the occasion of its last visit In
that section. but that would not de-
tract a great deal from an otherwise
good showing. Larger crowds usually
watch the games between Fordham
and Georgetown in New York than
see any college base ball contest in
this section.
The Maryland Aggies have played

of many members of the team; their
downs. Victories over Princeton and
Virginia Military Institute were the
most pleasing features of their sched-

The Marines have a good team and,
unless the NJ. A. c. nine has one of its
