RED CROSS
 CHRISTMAS FUND
Do Your Christmas Giving Early"
 the Slogan of the Workers
Many Gifts Soon to Go Forward

"Do your Christmas giving early" is
 the slogan of Red Cross workers in
 this city who already areibusy assemb-
 ling and packing Christmas gifts for l our soldiers and sailors. The work has 1 just been started, and in order that 1t
 may not have to stop for lack of suit 1 abe,gifts the chapter is appealing for funds with which to purchase them, or
 for direct contributions of articles such
 as are described in phamplet pre- pared by the Red Cross. It has been decided by the national headquarters | of the Red Cross not to use the war
 fund to provide Christmas packages, | but to raise special funds for that pur- pose.
 The gifts are to go forward to Ameri- can soldiers and sailors overseas and
 those in cantonments or aboard ship here in neat packets contained in khaki handkerehiefs and tied with red ribbon. Women, whether or not they , are members of the Red Cross, are asked by the Putnam chapter to give volunteer help in preparing the pack ages.
 Although Christmas is approximate Iv two months of, the Putnam chap ter will need every minute of the in-
 terval te get it's Christmas packets in
 readiness.
 The national headquarters of the
 Red Cross plans to provide Christ
 mas package for every man in service.
 It has allotted 225, ,005 packages to the Atlantic division, and of this amount the Putnam chapter has been assigned 300 as it's quota.
 The chapter regards the task Of pro-
 viding Christmas cheer for our soldiers
 as a patriotic service, in which every one should be interested. It is ap- pealihg to the entire community to help in this undertaking.
 The :Christmas packages will con tain varied assortment of articles in. cluding pocket knives, neckties, mouth
 organs, games, hard candies, salted nuts. mech anical puzzles, etc.
 The Red Cross will do all it can to { provide n happy Christmas for the
 men At the ,cantonments and army
 hosts and for the American fighting
 men now abroad.
 It will play Santa,Ciaus on very
 large scale Christmas trees will be erected in every cantonment and army | nost in the country. Arrangements i have been made for various kinds ot entertainment including motion pie tures, choral singing and psgesnts.
 Red Cross representatives stationed
 at the csntonnlents will supervise the distribution of the Christmas packets and personally see to il that not one
 soldier is overlooked. But the Red Cross needs funds for this purpose l The war relief needs abroad are so pressing that not one penny of the money in the Red Cross war fund can be diverted for any other pbrpose. Fsr
 that reason we must provide Christ i mas packages out of funds specially raised for that purpose. Contributions should be sent in at once. On fhe local Committee in charge of i. gae lhTissnas as woEA are Mfs- Joseph

HE DiDa i o1T THE CIGAR
Mir. Browns Neighbor Thought He Was Doing Him a Little Kindness,
 but Found He Was Mistaken.

My suburban neighbor, Mir. Brown, is eonvalescing from a four months ill- ness. Just now, he is a very handy man about home and splendid as an errand and delivery boy, says writer In the Milwaukee Wisconsin. Last Sat urday, his wife sent him into town to get case of strawberries, The re- turning interurban car was very crowd ed and Mir. Brown put down his case of precious berries at the rear of the car. When he neared the homeward station, he started back for his burden and found it we'll covered by someone's big suitcase. AS he pulled this out of the way, a neighbor greeted him with these words:
 "Well, Brown, you have a big load today"
 Thinking he meant the berries, he answered, 'Yes;" shouldered his case and started off the car and up the homeward road. His neighbor picked up the heavy suitcase and followed him. Three blocks up the road and four more, through the woods walked the two neighbors. each with his heavy load. At last they reached the ter race leading up to Mir. Browns house. The neighbor put the suitcase up on the walk and said with a tone of re- lief:
 Well, I suppose, get a cigar for thisf'
 ''For what" asked Mir. Brown.
 "Why, isn't this your suitcaser gasped the neighbor.
 A neighborly kindness had gone aStray.
