for Riddles Santa

Riddles Club Makes a Gen.
eral Appeal to all
II Glasses.
A. R. GIVE $40

The Mems Gospel Team, at its regu-
lar meeting yesterday afternoon at the
United Brethren church, took up a
special collection for the Riddles
Christmas Club. 1t amounted to $25.
Winfield Scott Post, G. A. r. Of this
city, has also voted $40 for the Riddles.
The action of the Mems Gospel Team
is one that will appeal to all. This
organization is interested in Christian
work. The giving of Christmas cheer
to the poor Riddles of the city is GER
tainly in line with the work of the
mems team and the Riddles of the city
will be glad to learn that this organi-
cation is backing them in an effort to
get Santa Claus to visit every home in
this city.
And the action of the Grand Army
men is also pleasing. These men saved
the union in the COS and they know
what privation and suffering mean.
They do not want to feel on Christmas
day that any poor children have been
neglected. 1t is expected that other
lodges and similar organizations will
shortly take action, too. There is big
need this year for large sum of
money, if Christmas cheer is to be car
ried to every needy home in this city.
And the good women of the Associated
Charities and the women's bureau Of
the Chamber of Commerce stand will
ing and ready to 60 just as far in this
work as the fund will permit.

Whether or not criminal prose-
