 The matinee will be the final windup of the drive for tue cld boys who through thick and thin, blazed the trails of this wonder full territory.
 MT. Gross says: Let's make this drive for these old boys a wonder as they are all now in the sunset of life. What little we give can not be too much as they have i, coming. Just imagine a Christ mas without dollar in your pocket! It surely is pretty blue. and many know this to be only too true"
 MT. Cross has taken subscrip- tions from practically all mer- chants and businessmen in town. There are many whom he has been unable to reach. These will have chance to do their share towards the boys who are the last pioneers that the United States Twill have, by attending the Old Pioneers Matinee next Sunday.
