a great treat in the shape of a Christ-
mas tree and a Sente Claus, by the
local Salvation Army. The tree was
held in the Moore-Bateman building,
and the long room was packed; there
must have been between Ave and
six hundred people in the hall in-
eluding men, women and children.
The Christmas tree, brilliantly
lighted, with all the usual trimmings
and bung all over with dolls, tops,
horns and other toys, waa la one and
of the room, surrounded by other
toys for which there waa no room
on the tree aad boxes of oranges,
apples and candy. Throughout the
hall youngsters, their faces shining
with anticipation viewed the tree in
breathless awe or becoming impatient

cheers. The older people were there
also and the same feeling of ex-
pectaney prevailed among them as
with the children.
None were forgotten for things

dishes for the women and socks and
gloves for the men. A number of
pairs of shoes were given out, as well
as other articles of clothing.
A abort program preceded distri-
