BOXES OF WARM CLOTHUJQ Bandar "chants All Otn the "tat Help la Spies! Work t'aderlakea by Tk Oasaba Bee. A contest tmoni towns of the state, to beat each other In making contributions toward the Christmas ship, la the latest development in the charitable undertake Ins. Cttlsens of rarlous towna are so Impressed with the needs of war-atalckeo European boys and girls, and ao snxlous to have a large part In the great human Harlan work of the Christmas ahlp, that communities are rlelng with each other to aee which shall do the moat toward making up the ship's cargo. The people of Fyracute sent In five dif ferent ahlpmenta of fine, useful gifts, which .showed that they had much sym pathy for the poor orphans and widows of the. terrible war, and wanted them to be remembered at least with clothing and useful gifts, even though the. usual cheer of the Christmas aeaaoa will be lacking this year. But the. people of Brokeu Bow were alive to the opportunity, and were not to be outdone by the other g'od people of the state. Everybody ' pitched In, and made the town hum with Chnttma giving ex citement for twenty-four hours. As a re sult, over one ton of Christmas cheer, consisting of more than MO packages, were contributed, and a fund of 144.11 was also collected In a short time. The gifts were packed in eight large boxes and arrived in Omaha Saturday morning. A draft for the cash contributions ac companied a letter from Rev. W. It. Gaston, pastor of the First Baptist church at Broken Bow, who organised the town and schools for the Christmas ship project, and was a very active mem ber of the committee. Respoaae la Geaeroae. The committee consisted of Rev. Mr. Gaston, chairman: Dr. J. O. Bientser, Rev. A. A. Randall, Mrs. C. I Gutter son. C. A. Shea and Mayor A. M. Draw. They report that the roeponse to the call for contributions for the ship was willing and general In every case, quite character istic of Broken Bow. The mayor ap pointed a committee of twenty cltlsens, who unanimously endorsed 'the project and chose the smaller committee to carry out the work. School children did much of the gath ering of gifts for the boxes, and took up the work with more than the usual Christ mas vim, for they realised that never before had. a better chance been offered them to bring real Christmas cheer into the Uvea of real sufferers. Each box from Broken Bow bears a neat label, which states that the box Is from the United Status Christmas ship, end contains contributions from Broken Bow. Neb., U. & A. Other towns also entered the friendly contest to see which could do the most tor the suffering little-children and their mothers In the war aone- and all deserve much credit for their generous efforts to send tjmt Christmas cheer to folk who otherwise would spend this Christmas as the saddest day of their lives.

Reed of the railway mall service states that the parcel post mail, is picking up rapidly and will probably break all records this winter. As an example of the rise In the last few months, he cited the week end ing August 18, in' which 1.814 sacks were received aa compared to the week ending October IT, in which 8.309 sacks were cared for. As this Is indicative of the retell business being transacted. It shows plainly that In Nebraska business is pick ing up despite the check caused by the war. Last Christmas week S.9X sacks of parcel post matter was received and this year the department expects to double the amount. BRIEF CITY NEWS Vote for W. C. Cross y for coronsr. Ad.
