You don't find any weeping over

turers and retailers, according TO
business journal representative who
has been looking into the subject
In many of our cities retail firms
are seeking locations for additional
establishments and enlarging present
facilities. They are astonished by the
increased demand for their wares since
the country went dry. In all Ameri-
can cities and towns it is common
place remark that many previously
shabby corners have been immensely
improved by the replacement of sa-
looms with mems furnishing stores,
groceries, restaurants and candy shops.
The owners of the properties gen.
orally have no complaint because they
are getting larger rents than ever.
The proprietors of the stores seem
prosperous. They say a higher grade
of goods is demanded than when the
saloons took such heavy toll of their
customers 'pocketbooks. out IN 81

Writing in the Philadelphia Led

They used to sell their grapes to the

ORDER OF MODERN
GOODFEILOWS

Christmas time is drawing on, coming
nearer and nearer with each passing
day. 1t is the gladstone season when
all the world should rejoice and all
the reople Of the earth give thanks 10
the Giver of all things good. 1t is
the season when mankind in general
should, for the once. lay aside the
cares and vexations of dollar-chasing
and do a noble part toward making
the little folks happy.
Without attempting to tell of the
example set by the Man who grew
up from the Holy Child, born in q
manger in Bethlehem. the Man who
gave His life for the salvation Of
the world, might it not be q holy
thing. Christian thing for the men
and women OF this community, the
ones upon whom Fortune has smiled
most individually and collectively, that
the coming Christmas season be one
of real cheer and good will to all the
less fortunate members of society.
Remember, He whose memory we
cherish, and in whose name we OBJ
serve the Christmas time, said In
asmuch as ye have done it unto the
least of these, ye have done 1t unto
me. my brethren" and so remember
ing do your bit toward bringing
smiles of real childish pleasure to the
faces of some Of the least of these.
We would not seek to ask the elm
mate of any Charity Christmas tree,
but we would ask you TO remember
that many, very many children of
the worthy poor who may be, and
justly so, too proud to take presents
in Charity's name, may hot be toe
proud to accept little tokens of loving
kindness, Of real Christmas giving
at the hands of a bunch Of Good
fellows"
Therefore. We suggest that some Of
the good women, acting in conjunc'
ton with some Of the whole-hearteC
men, organize band Of Goodfellow:
and give real Christmas tree TO III,
children Of the community to whom
Christmas, as q season Of good cheer
is but 4 name, to whom that patror
saint OF all little boys and girls
Santa Claus, Is Il myth.
