Christmas Trees Will
Bear Jobs as Fruit

New York, Dec. 1S.-A Christmas
Tree on Broadway is the latest
Knights of Columbus innovation.
The tree will not carry the usual
Xmas fruit of candy and toys,-but
more substantial things. The fruit
of the tree will be jobs for ex-service
men and K. of C. Santa will pick
the jobs off the tree and pass them
to the boys who need them. Every
morning at 8 o'clock from two to
five hundred former soldiers, sailors
and marines besiege the X. of c..
hut at Broadway and 10th Street,
seeking employment. The Knights
are placing them at the rate of
seven thousand a month; but they
want to place more of the boys,
especially at Christmas time.
Employers are extended a general
invitation to the Knights jobs
to place on the Christmas tree. The
knights do not accept jobs paying
less than SIS per week to an un-
married man.

Say Germans Acknowledge
Yankee Doughboys Won

New York, Dec. 1S.-"In all my
perambulations about Europe the
only people whom L came upon who
would admit that the Yankee dough-
boys won the war were the Ger
mans themselves" said Miles J.
Byrne, a Knights of Columbus secre-
tary who came home from France
yesterday. THAT the veracity and
dash of the Americans caused the
complete collapse of the German
arms both morally and physically is
the avowed opinion of the German
residents of the Rhine Valley and
other border points. They have for
months been able to get a good per-
spective of the Army of Occupation
and their final verdict is that the
type of men who occupied their ter
ritory are responsible for the smash
ing of the one time powerful army
of Germany"

Fire Threatens Elevator.

Fire broke out in the Office room
of the big elevator belonging to the
Farmers Elevator Co., on yesterday
morning and no small excitement
was caused by the alarm. A de-
fectiye fiue was found to be the
cause of the blaze which was dis
covered in time to prevent any
damage. Upon going into the wall
near where the chimney goes up it
was discovered that there had been
some very poor work done on the
fiue and an opening hod been left in
.he back side through which fire had
come into contact with the boards of
the wall. This large building, which
is all wood construction, would have
made a terrific blaze, once it got
under headway and the result would
have been the wiping out of the
warehouses in that vicinity, which al
this particular time are pretty well
filled with grain. The fire laddies

to proceed to dispose of the same at

of the cost, in figuring depreciation.

After the total of all income is
