CHRISTMAS PROGRAM


The grades of the Eagle River
schools, including pupils from the first
to the eighth, gave their combined
Christmas program at the opera house
last evening.
The program brought home the spir-
it of Christmas to the large number
of parents and patrons of the school
who were there to appreciate the
efforts of the children which were
very creditable indeed, showing much
work on the part of the pupils and the
teachers who had charge of the work
An admission fee of twenty cents was
charged adults to cover expenses.

It is necessary to explain that up to
the present for the last three years q
fund has been at my disposal to care
for distressing cases of poverty or
sickness, and to carry on religious
work in the country. The first money
to be used in this respect was $10O
appropriated from the proceeds of a
minstrel show given by the Camp
Winnepe boys under direction Of Mr..
Thomas at the Everett resort. The
promoter of that event was the former
Miss Betty Barroll now Mrs. Donald
Armour of Pasadena, California. There
after, two successive summers, money
was raised at the surrounding resorts
by means Of community sings and
services The summer of 1921 was not
propitious for these meetings but sew
eral summer guests gave substantial
amounts voluntarily. This had all been
expended in helping in cases of need
and sickness except the seventy-one
cents accounted for in the report
above
The Woman's Club of Eagle River
has donated $50 to cooperate in the
work of charity. The club will fill
it's own baskets and send these bas-
kets to the needy families suggested

EGGS BOUGHT
o. IL CENTS ARE
SOLD FOR BIG PRICE

Is Washington, Dec. 2.-Eggs bought
from farmers of Michigan last spring
at prices as low as IL cents a dozen
are being sold by n of the big V
meat packers to the public at the
same local cities at 40 to SO cents a
dozen, John G.. Clark, wholesale
grocer of Badaxe. Mich, testified to-
day before the government commits
sion considering the advisability OF
modifying the consent decree which
on becoming effective next February
will prohibit the "big v meat
packers from handling side line food
products.
Packers are active in distribution OF
canned foods in Michigan. Mr.. Clark
said, shipping non-perishable products
in refrigerator cars which are moved
I rapidly by railroads. Opposing modi-
fications of the decree, the witness
argued that. If packers were permitted
to distribute unrelated foodstuffs with
their cars expedited in shipment, COM
! p%etitors without such preferred rail-
| road service would be unable to re-
main in business. :"
