BUCKNELL WORKS
FOR GAME HERE
Large Student Bodies Will See
Annual Battle With
Gettysburg

Lewisburg, Pa, Nov. Z. - All OF
Bucknelrs football interest centers
in the annual battle with Gettysburg
next week at Harrisburg. Alumni,
students and townspeople are arous-
ed over the game with the battle
field collegians as they never have
been before.
More than five hundred followers
OF the Orange and Blue eleven will
journey from here to the Capital
City to witness the biggest game on
Bucknelrs schedule this season. The
college band. thirty-five strong, will
accompany the Bucknell delegation
on its special train.
Gettysburg is making similar pre-
parations. The graduate manager,
S. f. Snyder, has asked for five hun
dred tickets for his advance sale,
and it is probable that many more
persons will be on hand to root for
Coach Bill Woods men. 1t is eX-
pected that Gettysburg's band will
put forth all it's efforts to out-do
its opponents from Lewisburg.
For the last eight years, the Get
tysburg- clash has been the
football classic of Central Pennsyl-
vania. Gridiron enthusiasts in this
section look forward to the game
this year as the greatest of them all.
Both colleges have impressive rec
ords and there is little choice be-
tween the teams.
Gettysburg has Won the greatest
number of victories, numbering AL
bright, Franklin and Marshall,
Dickinson and Ursinus among her
victims. Woods squad lost only to
Penn State. Bucknell has met larg-
er and more powerful opponents,
consequently fewer victories have
been recorded. Reynolds men
downed Bloomsbury Normal. Muh-
lenberg and st. Bonaventure. De-
feats were suffered at the hands Of
Pennsylvania, 6 to o; Penn State, 8
to 8; and the Navy 81 to G.

season is needed to give quickness and life to
our imagination; the busy tension of the hur-
rying crowds in streets and shops and near our
homes is needed to give life TO our desires 1t is
not until the middle Of December that most peo-
pie really feel that Christmas is near enough
for shopping.
1t is just at this time of the month that the
shops seem to be at their loveliest, their most
entlclng. The counters become heaped with
glltterng, lovely objects that seem to plead
that they be permitted to express for you the
good will and the love you bear to your friends
near and dear
1t Is silly and illogical to spend more than
you can well afford on presents The Christmas
spirit Is not represented by a huge outlay of
money 1t doesn't fool anyone and it is a dead
loss to attempt to hoodwink anyone by such
measures. You can't fool all of the people at
holiday time any more than you can bluff them
at any other season. It hurts you to spend out
side of all reason for presents Just to put up the
bluff OF having more money than you really do
possess, and it pains the persons to whom the
presents are sent, for they know it will mean a
great effort for you to foot the bills. After
January, it is true that Better times are COM
ing but not after December. Buying gifts
that one can afford to buy tends toward safe
Christmas.
And buying gifts that are worth buying and
of some use tends towards a sane Christmas.
Every year each of US receives articles which
are of absolutely no USE articles that make one
wonder why any store ever sold them. That is
crime enough, but to give presents that are alb
solutely outside of the recipients stage in life
is Just as bad. To send so-caed luxury TO
girl who has all she can do to keep body and
soul together is sinful waste and tends only to
make her disconnected and blue There is more
JOY given by one thoughtful little gift than by
a load of pretentous things.

Practical Gifts Predominant

For the mechanically inclined boy there is an
outfit that can be assembled IN hundred or
more different ways, from miniature railroad
or an automobile to a skyscraper with cleo
trically operated elevators or a full-fledged fac
tory with travelling cranes and other devices.
If he wants to carry the work farther the eff
feet of brick walls can be given to the building
by clever system of masonry" The whole
outfit costs less than the price of a swell din
ner for medium sized family, and it is guar
anteed to have father down on all tours help
ing out the youthful engineer whenever he has
the time to spare
1t does not follow from this that the girls
have been overlooked. For them there are steel
ranges on which meal could be cooked in
genuine aluminium utensils, and all the other
toys that are dear to the childish heart, to-
gether with dolls of such bewildering array that
making selection is difficult.
Nor are Texans spending all their money
for toys and trnkets. More is being invested
in practical gifts than ever before, according
to merchants, and dealers in apparel and other
lines are reaping harvest, in which the high
cost of living and every other consideration
than the desire to make somebody happy on

SACIIETS.

A very pretty idea in the small square sach-
cts, which are always welcome gift, is 10 Sc
lect an artificial flower, such as pansy, much
of forget-me-nots, sweet pea, or small rose, and
then make half dozen little square sachets to
match the colors in the flower.
Shades of lavender and yellow for the pansy,
pink and blue for the forget-me-nots, etc. They
are then tied in a bundle, with narrow green
ribbon, and the flower slipped under the bow on
the top. While the small satchets are not new,
this arrangement of them is novel and differ
ent
Flowers found in the millinery box, if in a
perfectly fresh condition can be utilized for this
purpose.
Another good idea is to crochet squares in
filet using a good luck emblem, such as the
swastika or shamrock for the motif Make the
back and front alike and overland together
over square of sk-covered satchet Two or
three of these squares, tied together with a rib
bon, matching the color showing through the
filet, will make these unique filet satchets,
very attractive.

WORK BAG.

The shops are filled with the most interest
ing novelties to embroider and make Take, for
instance a babys shoe-bag. This makes very
acceptable gift for the baby, who is too small
to appreciate toys, and the gift has to appeal
to the mother. The bag is made to hang on the
door or on the wall 1t should be made Of
heavy white material and there are two sec
tons one above the other, each containing peck
cts for three pairs of tiny shoes or bootees.
Across the top one can embroider the word

Gifts You Can Make at Home

Every year It's the same thing No matter
how hard we work on our Christmas gifts,
there are always few that have to be hurried
thru at the last minute.
If your eleventh-hour gift happens to be a
young girl you might make pretty string Of
beads for her. Perhaps you have in the house
a box of assorted beads. A very nice way TO
string them is to make about three strings of
very fine beads and then run the threads thru
a large bead every two or three inches. This
makes prettier necklace than one that is made
Of only one string Of fine beads with the larger
ones at regular intervals

CLOSET BAG.

A bag to hang on the closet door to hold
pieces of wrapping paper and string could be
made in hurry also. Take one large piece Of
cretonne the size of the space you want 1t to
occupy on the door. Basic on top of this an
other piece the same depth, but about four
inches wider. This will allow for pleat at the
sides, so that the pocket will hold the paper At
the bottom of the large pocket have another one
about six inches deep to hold the string, A
row of stitching down thru the center of this
pocket will make it less floppy.
The edges Of the bag should be bound with
linen tape, and three brass rings put at the top
from which to hang it.

4 UNIQUE BAG.

Bags are ever acceptable presents. and there
probably was never time when they were of
so many shapes and adapted to SO many uses.
One of the latest little conceits is made over
gilt wire lamp shade frame, Of course the bag
may be any size, but the prettiest is that made
over the smallest size frame. The bottom of the
frame is covered by silk drawn perfectly
the frame, are covered by piece of shirred silk
and to this is Joined another straight piece of
silk with a casing at the top through which
a ribbon is run. A lamp shade that one was
unable to use would make pretty bag of this
sort If the entire bag is made, little French
roses or frills of ribbon are sewed to the bag
where the different pieces of silk are joined.

A noticeable feature of
the shopping that is be-
ing waged so vigorously
in all towns and cities in
Texas is the trend to-
ward gifts of a practical
nature. OF course, vast
sums are being expended
for knick-knacks and
trinkets and toys with
out which no Christmas
would seem complete.

ested groups are found

possessor, and it is observed that the sale of
equipment of this nature is far in excess Of
what was ever before the rule.
This is not to be wondered at when the Of
ferings are taken into account, together with
the price asked. For example, lumber suf-

A covered coat hanger is always liked by
those who have dainty gowns to hang in their
closets. Take an ordinary hanger pad it with
family perfumed cotton, and cover with pretty
china silk. The hook of the hanger can also be
wound with the silk, and YOU might also add
a cluster of little sachets hanging from short
lengths of ribbon.

BATES COUNTY MUST RAISE
HER QUOTA
Our Quota is $4odooo.oo. Subscrip.
tons up to May 3rd
$I55,5oo.oo.

Do you know what this means:
YOU must buy Victory bonds. The
people of Bates County have beer
given an opportunity to subscribe to
the Victory Loan--a few have re-
sponded to the call Of the Govern
ment and loaned their money-the
majority have not.
Other counties are going past their
quota, aren't the people of Bates
County as patriotic as in the other
coupties of Missouri?
Remember-every foot of soil IN
the United States is back of United
States debts and if the people do not
buy Victory Bonds, the money can
be raised other ways.
What is $4,5oo, 100000 to be used
for? To bring back Our boys from
"over there" to take care of the sick
and wounded, to take care of the
$2.26 wheat guarantee for 1919 wheat
and many other obligations of our
Government.
Your Government has furnished
protection to your home, and your
family. If you have lost son or
ShN otPtS iN oAS1A
flee, if you have not had to make the
supreme sacrifice, buy Victory bonds,
show your appreciation OF what
others have done, that you might en-
joy your home and family.
Almost all cities have raised their
quota. The attention of the Nation
is now turned to the rural districts.
This week will show how grateful
the rural man is for Peace.
Do you want to help yourself? Re-
ST 900, 100000 OF the Victory
Loan is to pay for the 1919 wheat
crop at $2.26 per bushel.
The time is short, subscriptions
nay not be made later than Satur-
lay, May 10th. Make up your mind

will be too late.
