when he went to Aunt James he
frowned when she boasted of her
Persian cat and her Angora cat, and
told how they had won prizes at diff

COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS TREE

Woodstock will have its Community
Christmas Tree this year. In consider
ing your holiday expenditures twill be
well to bear this in mind, for you will
be asked to give your bit toward bring
ing cheer to those less fortunate than
yourselves.
Donations of supplies and money
should be spontaneous and, if possible,
unsolicited, for there is no cause more
worthy Of a community's support than
the effort to bring joy to those who
from many causes are so situated in
|life that a Christmas remembrance is
the carrying into effect of the Masters
Spirit.
While charity should never be gov
erned by the seasons, yet the Yuletide
is the particular time for giving, and in
no way is as much good accomplished
for as many people as the giving
through the Committee having in
charge the Community Tree.
Be as liberal as your means will al
low. Get together toys and books,
clothing and whatever else you can
find for the gift distribution.
Notify C. L. FOCAL, j. Grove Kneisley
or P. F. Peer of your intended dona-
tons.
In the event you desire to contribute
by cash or check, send it to either of
these gentlemen, and when the big
tree is lighted on Court Square you
will feel happy that you have had a
part in making others happy.

FINED FOR ALLOWING
YOUTHFUL LOAfERS

The owners of the two pool rooms in
Woodstock were hailed before the
Mayor recently and fined for allowing
boys under the age of Is to loaf in
their places of business. There is no
gainsaying the propriety of enforcing
the ordinance prohibiting youths from
loafing in places of this kind, but it is
forceful reminder of the fact that
Woodstock does not provide any place
where boys may gather, play games
and otherwise find an outlet for the
youthful desire to meet together.
There is no Y. M. C. A., no reading
room, no club, no place at all in fact
where any entertainment is offered
for the young. other than in places
where they are barred by ordinance,
except the rink.
A movement might well be made to
remedy this situation and suitable
place might be founed for a boys
club, where proper influences could
surround them, and proper amuse-
ments be offered.

COME ON LET'S SKATE

Aside from the real sport which
roller skating affords. it is one of the
most healthful exercises known.
Skating means physical development
and increases stamina. The Wood
stock skating rink is a popular and
pleasant place to spend the afternoon
or evening. Strict order is preserved
and nothing is tolerated which will
lower the high moral plane upon which
it is conducted. A safe place for your
boys and girls. Open afternoon from
2:30 to $50. Evenings from 7:30 to
1890. Prize drawing contest each
week. Skates 20 cents. Admission
5 cents. w. E. IRWIN, Manager.

CHECKS BEING MAILED

Thousands of dollars are being dis
tributed by the banks of Shenandoah
County to the fortunate owners OF
Christmas Savings deposits in these
banks, and the yuletide season will be
brighter for these depositors because
of the thrift and self denial which has
made possible the accumulation OF
these savings.
The putting away of a small amount
each week has meant that the de-
positors are now in position to meet
their Chris tmas obligations and spend
ing without the worry incident to 9
short purse.
The Christmas checks are an in
novation of recent years and the Gus
tom of putting aside each week during
the year of specified amount for the
holiday season. has grown to large
proportions. Much of the money thu
saved is not foolishly spent during thu
gift period, but is transferred by the de
positors to the permanent savinl
| fund.

NAIL EARLY FOR CHRISTMAS

Last year, through the generous Co
yoperatiop of the press. the MOVIES ahs
other advertising mediums, Christ
mas mailers were induced to dispatch
/, their Yuletide presents earlier In the
month than ever before in the history
of the institution Of gift exchanging in
the holiday season.
As result, the spectacle OF the last
minute rush of former years, with Its
attendant heartbreaking labor on the
part of wearied and nerve worn store
clerks and postal employees, was
avoided.
This year Postmaster General New
and First Assistant Postmaster General
John H. Bartlett have determined to
make an even better record and to
Danish for all time the suffering I'M
dergone in past years by those engag-
ed in the sale or transportation OF gifts.
They hope to make "Shop Early and
'Mail Early" habit with the Ameri-
can people,
Mailing early does not mean Dec.
or before. but if everyone could get
their holiday tokens in the mail be-
tween December 10 and December ~,
the post office could not ask more.
Particular attention this year will be
paid to greeting cards. Despite the
success last year it was noted that the
last-minute mail consisted largely OF
cards. Possibly ma ny of them were
returned greetings to friends, heard
from on previous mail, but over
looked on the original Christmas list
Unlike parcels and letters containing
orders, cards. OF course, can
not well be marked "Do Not Open
til Christmas. Therefore, it ispos-
slble that the many mailers hold them
until the last to insure delivery on
Christmas Eve. This class OF mailers
this yesr, however, may finds their
cards undelivered until after Christ
mas Day.
Believing that the energies OF postal
employees should not be sapped to the
last degree for any avoidable reason,
and, intent upon securing for them
the same Christmas privileges enjoyed
by others, Postmaster General New
asks the hearty cooperation OF the
public. The last-minute, or zero hour
has been moved up so that all postal
employees may eat their Christmas
dinners at home. Rural carriers will
deliver no mail at all on Christmas day
and clerks and carriers in the city
offices will stop work promptly
noon.

TRIUMPH OF THE SCREEN

No picture since the discovery OF the
art of moving picture has created the
world wide interest and universal
commendation as 1.-THE Covered
Wagon" which Manager William
Dalke of the New Theatre has secured
for his patrons for December ii and
IL.
Many Woodstock people have been
thrilled by the wonderful story from
the pen OF Emerson Hough, and all OF
these will welcome the perturbation OF
The western drama. The reel tells q
story of the earlier settlers on the
western frontiers beyond power OF the
pen to describe, and the educational
benefits OF the picture should attract
capacity houses at the New Theatre.
Don't fail to see The Covered Wagon.
II is really the greatest feature picture
Of the year.
