LOOKS LIKE SING
WILL Be DAMPED
Elaborate Preparations Have
Been Made For the Affair.

This afternoon about 2.30 o'clock
Sergt Wilson Sperow, assisted by
several of the city firemen and 9TH
err friends will begin the work of
trimming the community Christmas
tree in the Public Square. The work
will require some little time and
much tact for the tree is one of con-
siderable size. When completed it
should be very attractive sight
There are to be 20 dozen Christmas
balls, 1000 yards of tinsel, two gross
of strings of beads, gross of artificial
snow strands, about a gross of tinsel
ornaments, ETC., topped off with
about 500 artificial lights. The cur
rent for these will he supplied by the
Potomac Power Co.
The singers, who have been faith
fully rehearsing under the direction
of DR.. G.. B. Geyer, will assemble by
11.45 o'clock and promptly at IL,
just as the lights are turned on, the
chorus will burst forth with Joy to
the World, the Lord is Comet" The
singers will be ably supported by
Professor CurTan's orchestra. The
program will then follow in Sc
quence: "All Hail the Power of Jes-
us Name" "Hark, the Herald An
gels Sing" Shout the Glad Tidings
and conclude with Silent Night
Holy Night" Copies of the songs
will be distributed and if the wealth
er remains favorable the effect
should be grand.
Just before noon today DR.. Geyer
announced that the tree will be Hum
mated at midnight, rain or shine. IT
lis hoped that today will prove like
numerous predecessons-that the rain
will cease about 6 o'clock and clearer
weather prevail until midnight,

RAINY WEATHER IS
DELAYING ROLL CALL
Do Not Wait For the Solicitor
To Join the Red Cross.

The rainy weather Of the past few
Gays has been another factor In re-
tarding the work of the Christmas
Roll Call OF the Red Cross. Conse-
quently the campaign will not be
closed for some days, possibly not
until the first OF the year. Nearly
all OF the quarries and other county
Industrial centres are yet to report.
Already Blair quarry has reported
100 per cent strong, sustaining its
reputation In every drive made by
a war activity. Other industries
about the city also show up in the
100 percent class and scores OF fam
lilies proudly display a red cross for
each and every member, including
the house cat. Stlll, there are few
that do not display Red Cross but
ton Many of these have not been
canvassed, owing to the lack Of
workers because of the busy season,
but there is no reason why they
should not contribute. You can cas-
lily find the place and by few in
Quiries can locate solicitor.
