 spending to Studies-Parents Urged
 to Cooperate.
 A rare and unusual Christmas gift in the shape of whole pound of sugar was received by each of Louis Conforti's customers as an act of ap- preciation of their trade. Consider ing the scarcity of sugar nowadays, it seems almost impossible that any, body would give it away by the hun dreds of pounds when everybody is looking for it and willing to pay al- most any price for the commodity, which once was just as plentiful as water.
 Christmas Club Opens.
 The Plainvi1le Trust company has begun receiving applications for mem bership in the Christmas club and will continue to do so for a week or more to come.
