The important thing for the high
school boy is to get the right kind of
a suit for graduation day. We would
suggest some overalls and he can GO
right from the commencement exercises
to some farm and help the farmer
raise food to feed the world. It would
be mighty appropriate graduation
suit this year.

Everett EIks Spring New Plan for Christmas Cheer.

TOT ChriStmaS Cheer.
 The Elks' lodge of Everett, Wash ington. has turned over to the Everett chapter of the Red Cross five hundred dollars to be used for extending Christ mas cheer to some of the destitute children of Northern France and Bel gium.
 Back of this lies story. This year, in addition to having the annual Christmas tree at the Elks club for the needy children of the city and vicinity, the lodge decided that 1t would, at a different time on the same day, give all the other children of Everett an opportunity to put some thing on the tree for the less for tunate youngsters in war-torn Belgium and France, the gifts because of trans portation difficulties, to take the form of money, anything from penny up. The plan is to have the children gather at their respective schools Christmas day, march to the Elks' club, form dI Oulu tuc DlB utCol alcu tlec III tue lodge room, sing several Christmas carols and then give their offering to Santa Claus who will be there in per son to receive 1t. Santa will give to each child or adult tag to show that the wearer helped Santa Claus to fill stocking on the other side of the ocean.
 In order, however, that Santa Claus may get the toys and knicknacks to France and Belgium in time to put in the stockings by Christmas day, the Everett Elks have advanced five hun. dred dollars to the Red Cross now and will themselves obsorb any difference between that amount and what Santa Claus receives at the tree on Christ, mas day.

When you do not hear from me, do
not be uneasy about me, for if any

ment will send you a cablegram.
