Well, the big push is on!
store doors are swinging from
morning until night, the parti-
cular buyers are taking dou-
BILE Iook-see and the weary
clerks are casting their optics
toward Christmas Eve. It's
gonna be a tough grind for the
folks back of the counter-and
tougher yet for the folks who
persist in waiting until the last
minute to do their shopping.

Those in the Know say that
1888 will be hum-dinger. Those
merchants who some weeks ago
placed their orders for the
Christmas trade found, in many
cases, that the supply Of certain
articles was limited. They
could take it or leave it. In a
majority Of cases they took it,
and as result the jobbers are
finding themselves empty-hand-
ed. January 1 will find orders
coming through to the manufac-
turers and it wouldn't be sur
prising to see the wheels of in
dustry going fulI-speed ahead.
The Hagerstown globe. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1936-1943, 1937-12-17

A majority of the merchants
tell me that everything is going
along hotsy-totsie, and that sales
are up to par. All Of which in-
dicates that when the dust set
ties the shelves are gonna be
as bare as Mother Hubbard's
old kitchen cabinet. And that.
Of course, orings us up to the
first Of the year, and what the
prospects are for the guy who
can't, at the present time, find
a job.

Old Trolley Cars Becoming Chicken Coops, Beaneries

Although trolley cars will make their final active appearance here Saturday evening, their memory will be perpetuated, not because of any sentimental reasons but by appearances on roadside, at summer resorts, and even in back yards.
 Scores of trolleys have been sold to individuals who will use them as lunch carts, alias beaneries, chicken coops, club rooms, and even for shelters at lakes and ponds for use during the summer. All the cars sold at the Connecti- cut Railway and Lighting yards on West Main street so far have been the property of the Connec- ticut company, which resigned this territory more than six months ago. After Saturday the cars of the c. R. 6 L. will join the ranks on the auctioneer's plat form.
 The cars will be held for sale for a considerable time and if then there is no possibility of sale or profitable disposal, residents of the Chase avenue district will be treated to one grand and glorious bonfire. officials of the c. R. 6 L. plan to burn the cars they cannot sell. The fire will be started where the trolley tracks of the now dis continued Chase avenue trolley line used to run.

Ely is not behind in its liberality.
The call for funds was not more than
few minutes old when 5000 were
dispatched by Chairman B. o. Strachan
and Mrs. o. w. Parker, treasurer of the

the parent body. Other calls since that
time placed the Ely quota at 81 900 and
this amount has been sent in in antici-
patton of receiving subscriptions to
cover the remittance.
There is no doubt but what other
calls will be issued and it is the desire
of the officials that funds may be avail
able when the calls come. The people
of Ely are asked to "dig down. and do

Wants HIGHER
FISHING FEE
Director Hanson Favors Raise
in Fishing Licenses; Winter
Fishing Opposed.

A. H. Hanson, director of game and
fish for the Minnesota Conservation
Commission, is in favor of tipping the
fishing licenses according to a report
emanating from the state affice build
ing in st. Paul.
Mr.. Hanson is quoted as saying that
a higher license fee will be recon-
mended to the state legislature by the
department. why, a man pays SO
cents every two weeks for haircut
and his hair grows out again." said the
director in Illustrating his point, "but
when you suggest a 81 fishing license
for season, he rebels 1t doesn't make
sense"
On the matter of winter feeding of
game birds, the director is emphatic
He stated that tive talked with Oscar
johnson, game director of South Da-
kota, and he tells me they never feed
pheasants artifcially there" he said.
eff I had my way no money would be
spent by the state for this purpose.
1t should go instead to the planting of
permanent food-producing plants"
Mr.. Hanson also suggested that the
state clamp statewide program of
predatory control on mink, grey fox,
weasel and crows, las the quickest way
to produce more game" Thaddeus
Surber, veteran on Minnesota's fish pro-
pogation, told a reporter who called at
his office in regard to winter fishing,
that winter fishing will have our lakes
ruined before long" He has been a
persistent advocate against this sport
for some time
1.-THE sportsmen of the state will have
to wake up quickly, or they will find
their fishing gone for good" he said.
tive been preaching it for years and
years, and made enemies galore" he
said, "but I'll continue to preach it
until I hope they'll wake up and take
some action. You can't eat your cake
and have it too" he concluded
These subjects have been under dis
cussion by the sportsmen's bodies for
some time but no conclusions could be
reached as the personal affairs Of sew
eral club members were slightly ruffled.
Several of those in the organizations
were engaged in winter fishing and
could see no harm in it.
1t would be very instructive if DR..
Surber would itemize his objections and
give his reasons therefor. We would
be pleased to receive such an explana-
ton in this section of the winter fish
ing country.

With the newspapers of the country
and the radio stations sending out
calls for funds for the Red Cross in the
noble effort of this organization to al
leviate the sufferings and the urgent
needs of the 100000 or more people
left without shelter, food or clothing
in the devastated areas of Ohio, In
diana, Kentucky, Illinois, West Virginia,
Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi and
Pennsylvania, response has been general
and funds are pouring into the stricken
territory.
The Red Gross authorities at Wash
ington called for $10,000OOO and before
the appeals had permeated to all Sec
lions of the country the ten million
dollars were forthcoming. Since then it
has been found that this large amount
of money is but drop in the bucket
and calls are daily being issued for
more funds.
The country has responded most
nobly and from far away South Ameri
ca, Hawaii, London and several foreign
nations, donations have been received.
The Red Gross was on the scene from
the first and it is through their efforts
that many deaths were averted with
