Of Thieves.


Knitting bags are under sus-
piciOn in Missoula stores this week.

the police suspect that shoplifters
who have been unusually active in
the city during the holiday season
are using knitting bags as receiv-
ers for the loot
The loss of several dresses has
been reported by one Missoula
store, and il is pointed out that
the large, fancy knitting bags
which have come into fashion since
the war began are capable of hold
ing dress without bullying too
much. Other stores have suffered
from shoplifting during the. past
week.
The police and special watchers
in all stores have been put on their
guard against thieves during the
present rush.
The knitting bag fashion has
given rise to extensive thefts Of
this kind throughout the countr
Some big department stores in
coast cities compel women patrons
to check knitting bags at the door

CHILDREN Write
HOLIDAY VERSES
Central School Pupils Plan
and Conduct Christmas
Exercises.
ORIGINAL MATERIAL
Chimney Sizes and War Are
Inspirations to Young
Authors.

Christmas verses written by the
liners" as they say in vaudeville, at
special exercises held Yesterday after
noon by the pupils in the seventh and
eighth grades of the Central school
Every month the children plan. ar
range and conduct 4 program of reci-
tHtions and music. Yesterday they
gave especial interest to the affair by
Introducing Christmas verses Of their
own composition.
Christmas was described as follows
by Mary Joe Dixon:
Christmas.
Christmas time is coming,
Not single care,
Boys and girls all running.
JOY is everywhere.
Santa Claus has been here,
Everyone has toys.
People wishing Christmas cheer
To happy girls and boys
War Is Inspiration.
The war supplied several Of the
young poets with inspiration. Newell
Robertson wrote of No Mans Land"
Far across the sea in No Mans land
Where the Germans try to stand
Against the shots of Sammees gay
Trying to crush them every day.
In this desolate No Mans land
They fight the Germans hand to hand.
The Sammees charging with British
tanks
Are moving down the German ranks
In this horrible No Mans land
The kaiser hasn't got a stand,
Here the Sammees. blithe and gay.
Are going to make that kaiser pay.
When peace is proclaimed throughout
the domain
No Mans land will no longer remain
The Sammees will come to their home
so gay
On this most delightful holiday.
The Santa Claus Legend.
1sador Munich contributed a clever
pragmatic thrust at the Santa Claus
legend in How Ever Could He Do
| lt?"
Sister and brother and one day
Peeped up the chimney to see
How big it was for Santa Claus gay
And how big his pack could be.
Sister held the broomstick tight
| And brother held rake.
! We all looked up, twas black as night.
| But the sides we thought we'd
! scrape.
| But oh. down came black SCOT unseen,
Our face and clothes We're a sight.
| Now how are Christmas toys kept
! clean
And Santa's hair kept white?
| Elizabeth Custer and Jack Wrabek
recited and musical numbers were
given by Myrtle Hollingsworth, George
Simerson, Roy Sanborn and the girls

And We. beneath 1ifa's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low.
Who toll along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow.

Come swiftly on the wing,
- rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing.
For 10. the days ara Fastening on.
Ky prophet bards foretold
When with the ever circling years
Comes round the age OF gold.
Where peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling
And the whole world give back the
song.
Which now the angels sing.
