UNCLE TED BEDTIME STORIES
Uncle Ted Returns from the War and
IsWarmIy Welcomed Home

Jack and Ruth had waited RAINY
DAYS for the return of their Uncle Ted
from Washington where he had been
stationed since arriving in the United
States from France and the Great War.
They had only seen him for few min
utes when he landed from a great boat
in New York City.
There were hundreds of people there
that day and Jack and Ruth who had
never been in New York before, saw
buildings "as tall as mountains and
boats bigger than the biggest elephant
ever" AND then they had to go right
back home because Uncle Ted was
still soldier in the American army
and under orders which took him to
Washington.
But now he was no longer soldier
and was coming home, so Jack and
Ruth hoped, for long time. They
were at the window with their noses
pressed tightly aginast the pane.
Mother came into the room and wis
pered, "Uncle Ted is home'' Jack
and Ruth ran for the door and such
welcome home as they gave their Un-
Gle Ted. Jack jumped on his back and
with Ruth pulling at Uncle's coat, he
made his way into the old front room
where, before he went to war. he had
told the children all kinds of fairy
stories until the Sandman called them
to bed.

 A magnificent Christmas tree will soon be hauled in and set up. Judging by the subscriptions already handed in to the treasurer, the presents for the children will be numerous and sub- stantial. It was decided not to solicit for the fund but to place boxes about where the spare change may find its way during the next few days.
 In this connection it should be men. toned that as there are lot of things to be ordered from the outside, those who desire to give something toward the great event for the children should do so immediately so those in charge may order on the next mail.
 Splendid arrangements were made by the ladies and it is for the men tc provide the necessary highgrade. Mrs P. s. Jack is head of the committees and Mrs. H. P. Gibson is the treasurer Following are the committees:
