Christmas Presents Still Ac-
ceptable!
[Contributed.l

No one doubts that this is one
year in which to "cut out" all
useless and superfuous gifts, but
there are some cases in which
everybody may exercise their
generosity to the fullest extent,
One may give a check to the
Wool Fund of the Red Cross, an
other box of wool is now due;
the town is full of swift, willing
knitters, but there is no money
to pay for the wool. The sewing
room needs a bolt of grey outing
flannel and another of grey strip
ed outing for pajamas and hos
pital shirts. You may not be
able to give a bolt of material,
but every penny given will soon
amount to the dollars to pay for
it. The sewing room is now in
the ladies' parlor of the Club but
the atmosphere is as cold as be-
grudged charity; perhaps you
have an oil heater of no use to
you-give it to the sewing room.
In the name of our cold soldier
boys the Red Cross asks for
Christmas presents of money, |
material and warmth for the |
workers. Some one says "but |
gave the Red Cross a dollar last
June;;" we know you did, but you
ate good dinner last week and
are hungry again. AS long as
our men suffer so long will the
Red Cross need your help. Civ
ng to it is no more charity than
ouying shoes for your own bare
Dotted child. So in your Christ
mas giving please remember the
soldiers doing sentry duty these
bitter nights, or shivering in
lark trenches, and give to the
red Cross.

chicken salad sandwiches with
hot tea, followed by pretty bowls
of snow-cream. This was a treat
to all, as it has been many years

delicacy. Beside the regular club

large library where a big fire was
burning and where a jolly and
lively evening was spent. Each
girl made one album and closed
it with a wish that some cute
Sammy get my book Mrs.

has accomplished the following:
Declared a state of war as existing
bewteen this country and Germany;
Seized 81 German ships and begun
repair work on them;
Authorized unanimously war
fund of $1,000, 100000;
Appropriated $6OO,OOo,OOO for
merchant shipping and as much for
air fleets
Agreed to loan our allies $4,000
100000 and advanced them large
proportion of that sum.
Passed a selective draft law and
in single day registered nearly ten
million men for military service;
Enlisted 100000 volunteer soldiers
in the Regular Army and in the Ma
tional Guard of the States;
Sent a Commission to Russia to
