CHRISTMAS GREETINGS.

contributions suitable for the
holiday season have been coming
into the state office. To tell you
of the many nice thincrs these
mysterious bundles contain
would take more than the space
allotted to us. Nine goodly sized
parcels were made ready for
Uncle Sam to deliver December
25th, and still there arc more to
be made up
Nebraska's Empty Stocking

month by the following contribu

Mrs. Max McGrew president
contributed 51 us dues to the

general headquarters last month.
Mrs. Carrie Peterson, chair
man of Nebraska's scrap book
committee, finds no end of ways
to carry out the Sunshine senti
ment. Last month she made a
good coat out of two old ones for
an elderly man, and helped a par
tial shut-in who is unable to sew
by making five little dresses.
Pictures contributed by Mrs.
Lew Farrington of North Platte
and Mrs. Sam Gambrel of Myr
tle were given to the scholars of
school district 63 to beautify the
school room. '
After reading of the Empty
Stocking fund, little Pearl Benja

office four cents to carry, agrcet-
