nothing but the sensational from now
on.
WINNERS OF GOLD PRIZES.
Last week brought out good show
ing among the candidates in their eff
forts to win the splendid Gold Awards
for the largest amount of cash report
ed on the week. Mrs. Etcheson re-
ceived first prize, $500; Miss Pauline
East second, $1,000; and Mrs. James
Clogg, Miss Annie Northam, and Mr..

This week the awards are greater
, than last, the member reporting the
largest amount of cash receiving l.
100000 credits, the second, 100000
credits, and on down to 6 awards. To
be sure every candidate is after the
million credits. And this week will
far exceed last weeks good showing,
and bring out a real climax in Sat
urday nights count.
BIG FOURTH WEEK COMING
The candidates are lining up for
the big fourth week. The last of the
big credits, when the decks will be
cleared for the great dash on the
home stretch. And with prospects as
they are today it is safe to predict
that this final dash will be one of the
most interesting races ever witnessed
in this community. With talent that
possesses prestige, ability, and pep,
and candidates that have enough good
business judgment to show no SYM
pathy to their competitors, and with
a public that is lining up back of their
favorites, entire towns and communi-
ties that must win first prize for their
representative, "The Christmas Club"
has developed a speed that knows no
limit and will be fast and furious
every day from now on.
1t is battle royal, right now, and
III view of the fact these hard fighting
candidates are going into the final
week OF big credits, we can expect one
sensational count after the other all
week long. The regular counts will be
observed next week, Wednesday and
Saturday e,enings; the end of the big
credit period. All candidates report
ing by mail at the end of the big per-
iod will be allowed Tuesday noon.
November 10. However their last re-
ports must bear the Post Mark of

rivals.
Into the BIG WEEK we plunge

toes. The question before all, Public
and Candidates, is "Who will be the

The latest count of the Worcester
Democrats Christmas Party & Sales
manship Club brought to light very
tense situation, and one that is Great
ing no small amount of talk wherever
the Democrat goes. The situation
holds many surprises, and shows tai
oEt that stands out boldly in their
brilliant efforts to displace COM
petitor or shoot thru the lineup OF
clever talent that holds them down.
Mrs. Katherine Etcbison is holding
the lead by bare margin over Miss
Pauline East, who is closely followed
by Miss Annie Northam. 1t does moi
seem possible that three candidates OF
equal merit could be brought togethe,
in any venture. 1t is neck and neck
with them from day to day, each count
the public thinks that maybe one OF
them can break away and command
q lead worth while However. no mat
ter how hard they pull, or how busy
friends may be, they cling close to one
another as they forge ahead in the
credit totals.
SURPRISES COME FAST.
Mrs. James Clogg has been the re
cipient of many compliments for the
manner in which she has gained a
very fine position among the other
members Of the club, and tenaciously
hangs onto it. And right with her is
w. L. Byrd Of Temperancevile, who
in spite OF his handicap thru sickness
has been able to stay up to the lead
ers, and each day threatens to go into
the lead. His fight has shown ex-
treme nerve, and should he get back
on his feet physically, he is going to
show them all race no doubt.
Another big surprise, is the beau
tiful jump made by Mrs. Gillis, of
Chincoteague Island, and it will take
person of Mrs. Gilliss' stability and
determination to swing Chincoteague
to victory. She is going fast right
now, and gaining in momentum. Hav-
ing surprised the club in her fine
showing today, she can be expected to
make a more serious gain before the
big credits drop next week.
Miss Birmingham and Mrs. Bull
continue to gain in credit totals, and
these two ladies are not to be expect
ed to hold down the tail end much
longer.
Miss Mary Reid of Melbourne came
il with nice report this week, and
allie she has started late, shows the
making of a good member, and with
her large circle of friends thru-out the
community can be expected to climb
from now On. It is real bunch of
scrappcrs in this jolly Xmas Party,

 To Exhibit In April
(By Associated Press)


 PARIS, Jan. 21.--Thirty nations will be represented at the Internation- al Exhibition of Decorative Arts which opens in Paris next. April. Prep arations are rapidly going forward, and it is expected that the admirable site chosen for the exhibition in the very heart of Paris, comprising the Esplanade III and the Grand Palais, will be ready to house the exhibitors about the 18th of February.
 The Court of Arts and Crafts, the theater and library, are practically completed and 6S pavilions belonging to exhibitors have been received and are being erected.
 England will have the largest ex- hibit of any of the foreign nations. An States through the ministry of foreign affairs, but it was declined.
 Other countries which are erecting pavilions are Belgium, Italy, Poland, Japan, Peru, Switzerland, Austria, Czecho- -slOvakia, Jugo-slavia, Greece, Spain, Holland, Denmark, Hungary, Ireland, Bulgaria, Sweden, Latvia, Els thonia, Cuba, Brazil, Norway, Monaco, Luxemburg, Turkey, Russia, and the French protectorates of Morocco, Tu- nisia and Algeria.
 The aim of the exhibition is to show that the industry of today presents artistic, logical and harmonious forms exactly adapted to the conditions of modern life and executed with as much art as in the past It is open to all industries.
 Hygiene will be given a prominent place. Two hundred years ago there were no bothtubs even in the palaces. of the kings One of the largest floor concessions in the Esplanade des In valides has been allotted to French firms dealing in baths and accessor- ies.
 The problem of housing and feed ing the thousands of visitors expect ed in Paris during the exhibition is giving much concern to the Syndi- cate of Hotel and Restaurant Keep ers
 The Turkish and Italian delegations have solved it by building restaurants of their own where all their citizens either employed at the exhibition or merely visitors, will be served at cost price. Owing to the lack of space the restaurants are built on steel gir ders extending over. the Seine.

 RUSALEM, Jan. 22.-That Pales- tine, the land of many diseases, can become land of health, was the sermon preached during Health Week" introduced into this country by an American organization.

The campaign was car ried to practically every town of any size and to numerous Arab villages and Jewish agricultural settlements.

KEEPING LACES IN LUXURY CLASS MAKES
 THE GERMAN INDUSTRY SUFFER; NO LET UP
(By Associated Press)

tby ASSOCIaCeu fTeBS)
 HIRSCHBERG, Jan. 22.-The lace and embroidery industry of Germany, which has it's chief seat in Silesia, is having an exceedingly difficult time which even the Christmas sea son did not alleviate Embroidered goods still belong to the class of lux uries without which most Germans can do. Since the stabilization of the mark most German housewives have discovered so many gaps in their wardrobes that they have been quite content to re-stock with plain linens.
 The many women who give their time to fine needlework declare that they will work for almost nothing just to have something to do. They are ready to adapt themselves to changing fashions, whereas formerly their output was of a somewhat ster- otyped variety.

(By Associated PreSS)
 LONDON, Jan. 22.-The allied am- bassadors' note to Germany on the postponement of the Cologne evacu- ation, the text of which was made public by the foreign office this af- ternoon, asserts that the allied gov ernments are already in a position to inform Germany that they have obtained proof showing Germany has not yet fulfilled and cannot pos sibly have fulfilled by January 10" the conditions laid down in the Yer sailles treaty so as to enable her to benefit by the clause of the treaty relating to a partial evacuation of the occupied zone.
 The note gives six instances why the zone has not been evacuated:
 First, that the general staff of the German army has been reconstitut- ed in another form;
 Second, short service volunteers have been recruited and trained
 Third, transformation of war ma terials has not been completed; Fourth, a surplus of every kind of war material has been found and illicit stocks discovered;
 Fifth, reorganization of the state police has not been started;
 Sixth, the German government is far from having taken the legisla tive and administrative measures demanded by the allies in their note of September 29, 1922.
