erniSrn."
The announcement last night that

yer. declared that in his opinion Bishop
Mcconnell would not be allowed to
speak at all" Mr.. Gravott added, how
ever, that his followers would not OBJ
ject if Bishop Mcconnell appeared on
the program as a representative of the
Federal Council of Churches OF Christ
in America. The Bishop is president of
the council.
A. M. Harris. president of the Con-
vention, in a statement last night said:
I'VE are looking forward to a great
convention, where all who attend may
have the privilege of listening to in
spirational addresses from many Bap-
lists and members of other communions,
including Bishop Mcconnell, the recent
ly elected and honored president of the
in America"

cate that Bishop Mcconnell would have

Clie4Hot club discovers
Importance Of ageing

The Clicquot Club chemists long ago
discovered the importance of ageing in
making ginger ale Of the finest flavor
and health value.
First the flavor elements are carefully
aged. Then the ginger ale is aged again
in the bottle. That gives Cicquot Club
its rich, spirited favor. And it increases
the health value TOO.
Clicquot Club Golden has double
carbonation which gives it sparkle and
zest such as you have never known be-
fore. 1t comes only in new, clean bottles.
Stimulating, nourishing, delicious,
Clicquot Club Golden is the ideal bev-
erage-and a tonic food as well. Full
pint bottles-at all dealers.

Community Fund
For Charity Only
Annual Open Air Christmas
Tree Plan Abandoned In
Hope of Accomplishing 4
Greater Good With Fund.

The Community Christmas Trea
committee. in conference with rep
resentatiyes of the Chamber OF
Commerce and the Rotary and
Kiwanis clubs at the Office of j.
R. Lewis yesterday afternoon, de-
cided to abandon the Community
Christmas Tree plan which has
been in force for many years i'll
Las Vegas.
The idea upon which the action
was taken was based upon the
thoughts that the children are all
we'll taken care Of at Christmas
tree exercises of the various church
es and that the cost Of the COM
niunity tree and treats for the
children, estimated at about $500,
could be used to better advantage
if devoted TO purely charitable
purposes during the coming year.
During the years in which Las
Vegas has featured an open air
Christmas tree entertainment on
each Christmas Eve. the various
fraternal organizations and service
clubs have made annual contMbu-
tions. The portion of the fund not
devoted to the cost of the Christ
mas tree has always been held by
the committee and dispensed for
worthy charitable purposes during
the year so the matter was not
entirely one of providing Christ
mas entertainment for the chill
dren.
It is hoped now that the various
organizations of the city will re-
spond to the appeal of charity as
generously as they heretofore have
done to the Christmas tree idea.
The Age knows that the fund
available during the past years
has been well and wisely spent by
the committee. We belieye the
committee, now that there is in
prospect greater necessity for char
table work. should be accorded the
most generous response to its ap-
pealS.
Checks for the fund should be
sent to Ed Won TObel. treasurer
of the fund.
hllOlIltI lDCCIlIlS VI NA4N
mittee will be held next Friday al
terncon at 800 at the Office OF ).
r. Lewis. All those interested III
the subject are cordially invited TO
be present and give the committee
the benefit of their ideas 1t IS the
intention to more fully perfect the
plans at that meeting.
It is interesting at this time TO
cast our thought back over the
years to Christmas, 1915 In De
~cmber of that year the idea OF
q Community Christmas tree III
Las Vegas was first advocated by
the Age. AS a result a committee
was formed. funds collected and
most creditable and happy occas-
sion was enjoyed by the entire
community on Christmas Eve. II
has been repeated each year since
then until now.
On that first Community Christ
mas. we note that the folloWing
