Rabbits in Demand

1t was open season for rabbits In
Holyoke Saturday. the demand being
stronger that the supply. The snow
of Friday may or may not have had
anything to do with the situation.
The ladies of the Presbyterian
church held bazaar in the Peerless
theater lobby that day. In the win
dow display of homemade articles
we noticed child's bib, which re-
sembled rabbit Before the bazaar
opened we were on track of that rabbit
bib, not knowing more than one had
been made, and captured II. On taking
1t home. the woman OF the house inti-
mated one bunny might be lonesome
and to get another II possible.
On inquiry of the ladies' in charge
OF the bazaar we learned there had
been more OF the rabbits, but the de,
mand having been greater than the
supply, the stock was exhausted. and
all they could do was to take orders
for future delivery. hoping to be able
to rustic up sufficient supply Of
bunnies in the near future to meet
the demand. We have AN order In
for two mora u the rabbit bibs. and
Rev. Tlsiey has promised t6SIf deliv
cry.
The bazaar was splendid success
The proceeds will amount to about
$l75.

The Holiday Rush

Postmaster White is getting ready
for the holiday rush. There is now
occasional reminders &. the local
post Office that the annual pilgrimage
of the old Saint is approaching rap
idly.
There is probably nothing the post
Office force enjoys more than the
holiday jamb. The girl clerk who
can keep sweet through that ordeal
without sour look should have full
fledged wings before the new year
has fairly begun.
While Postmaster-General Hays
has already asked the dear people
to mail Christmas packages today"
very few will get busy until few
days before Christmas. Then the
post office will be besieged by those
who should have gotten busy at least
two weeks before.
Mail your Christmas packages
early. Wrap them securly, or they
may not reach their destination. II
they do not, don't blame the postal
department until You are sure that
you are not to blame because Of poor
wrapping or bad addressing Insure

comparison to the satisfaction Of
knowing that II your package is lost.
you will get pay for II. Some are
lost. hut not many, in comparison TO
the hundreds ot,dAopsands handled

We learn that In past years the
Christmas business Of the local pest
office has been handled in mosk
satisfactory way.

Pioneer Church Passes

What God hath wrought, man puts
asunder. might be said of the tear
ing down of the old NJ. E. church, n
religious pioneer in this county. The
spire. which was guide to those
seeking spiritual help, is no more.
The bell. which called residents to
the house of the Lord, is stilled. Hol-
yoke is nearly forty years old For
church was one of the places here
where spiritual peace could be found
II was the first church built In the
town. The Baptist church was erect
ed soon after. As the village grew,
one by one the church spires increas-
ed in numbers. Never was there a
decrease until now. But the pres
ent one less means that soon there
will be another. stronger and more
durable than the one Just removed.
II the old church could unfold its
history. II the bell could tell It's
story, or the spire could point out
all that has taken place on that plot
OF ground. what story II would be.
No mortal knows II all. As the build
ing was made Of many pieces. so is
the history Of that church. To make
this complete would take the story
OF every person In any way ever con.
nected with IT, This would be i'm
possible. as quite number have
passed to the realm of the hereafter
Others are in distant states. Some
are still here, but no doubt canvass
of the church records would show
they are the lesser number.
In that old church many found
spiritual relief Showers OF blessings
were the experience OF some. No
doubt VOWS were taken there which
meant new homes on earth to many
young people. Happy gatherings
have been held there, especially at
Christmas time.
This season. for the first time In
many years. the old Methodist church

MORE INDICTMENTS
TO HALT PR0FITEERS

WASHINGTON. Dec 20 Omitted
Press) More prihteering indict-
ments as par tof the Federal drive
az high prices are imminent. II be-
came known at the Department OF
Justice today. Some OF these indict-
ments will be against building mate
rial concerns. as prices I'm this line
are soaring in sympathy with tho
antitrust activities by the govern
ment. Acknowledgement Daugherty
has been notified.
Prices OF many commodities have
receded since Daugherty announced
his Intention 10 make war on re-
tailers and wholesalers several days
ago, the Attorney General stated.
Charts are being prepared FOR
Daugherty showing the margin of
difference between production costs
and retail selling prices Of food. fuel
clothing and other articles.
The department has received many
requests from retail trade associa-
tions to be heard. In most instances
the Attorney-Genoral replied that
those who were not violating the
law need feel no concern.
Daugherty said that perhaps nine
tenths OF profiteering cases are be-
yond the Jurisdiction OF Federal au-
thorities because OF their intrastatc
nature and for other reasons.
These will be reached. however
by securing the cooperation OF
state and city officials and givinr

American Plan of Levying
Rates to be Explained at
Luncheon
COMMERCE CHAMBER
ARRANGES MEETING

. What is known as the American
plan" OF levying tarin rates on for
eign imports will be considered at a
luncheon-meeting to be held by the
Chamber Of Commerce. at 1915
o'clock, next Tuesday afternoon, in
the duBarry Room OF the Hotel du-
Pont.
According to officials OF the Cham
ber the session promises TO be one
OF the most important held by It in
months II also will mark the be
ginning Of the series OF luncheon
meetings held by the Chamber
after the first of the New Year
Under the American plan" tarin
rates are based on cost Of manufac-
turing goods in the United States
and not what their cost may be
abroad. For example. a hat costing
80 TO make in Germany might bear
a 10 per cent, duty, or 20 cents. In
other words. an importer would
have such hats ready for sale in tke
United States at a basic price OF
s2.20. Yet the same hat here would
cost say "a to manufacture. By es-
timating the tariff rate on the home.
instead Of foreign price. a duty Of
10 per cent. would means 40 cents
instead of 20. Even at that. there
would stiil be a leeway Of Si.60 in
favor OF the imported article.
A speaker from Washington well
qualified to discuss the subject in
detail and whose name will be an
nounced later has been engaged for
