Socialists Plan Tree
For Kiddies' Christmas
Kiddies who have no other place
to inhale Christmas cheer the even-
! ing of December 25 will be welcomed
around the glowing candles of a hand
sonic Christmas tree which the so
cialists arc to have at their headquar
ters, lifth floor of the Lyric building,
Nineteenth and Farnam streets. Will
iam Mehrens is chairman of the com
mittee arranging this festivity and he
is making his headquarters on the
fifth floor of the building now, re
ceiving whatever contributions char
itable persons choose to give, in the
way of Christmas gifts, candies, nuts
or any other delicacies or even sub-
i stantial wearing apparel to be dis
i pensed from the tree. The festivities
are to begin at 8 o'clock. There is
I to be speaking and singing. Recita
j tions will be given by men, women
I and children. The committee an
I nounces that any children will be
welcome.
An e ert salaried buyer will he
employed by the Central Park Brolli
erhood Buyers' association and the
co-operative buying, inaugurated to
meet 'an emergency, will continue in
definitely long after Mr. Hy Com ()'
Livin has been laid in lus grave.
Eighty-nine members of the society,
which began Friday morning to make
their purchases, agreed to continue
the organization because of its prom
ise of great benefit. One coal dealer
assures Rev. D. E. Cleveland, pastor
of the Central Park Congregational
church and the present unsalaried buy
er of the people, that he could save
them at least $1 a ton on coal if the
members of the organization bought
their fuel from him. This saving, he
said, could be effected on any grade
of coal desired.
Nor will the housewife be re
stricted in her selection of provisions.
She herself may go to the store and
choose whatever goods appeal to her
liking and her purse. She will pay
for the goods at least once a month
when the composite bill of the asso
ciation will be discounted. The mem
ber will not get any discount in her
individual purchases. All profits ac
crue from the collective purchases, on
which the dealer allows a discount
to the socety's agent.
Paying Dividends.
"It is purely a business proposi
tion," said Rev. Mr. Cleveland. "The
store owner pays the buyer a com
mission for having turned the busi
ness of so many families into his
hands for a stated time. At present.
I am the buyer and I will divide my
commissions among the members of
the association according to the
amount of their purchases. Thus will
their saving be effected."
And not only does Mrs. Housewife
get dividends from the society, but
she also gets a little bit of gospel
each week, according to the present
arrangement. The official journal of
the Congregational church shall no
tify her at what stores to buy each
week. This notification shall be on
one page of the paper and the other
pages will contain the usual church
notices and editorial articles by the
castor.

Judge Blushes as
Woman Jurses and
Cries and Laughs
At least half the gauntlet of human
emotions was run in police court by
Mary Copelaml. JO, 510 South Twenty-fifth
street, arrested with Charles
Long, 231 5 Dewey avenue, and Ague-,
Kngtes. 518 South Twenty-second
street, charged with having disturbed
the peace. First she cursed and thus
gave expression to her anger. Her
remarks electrified the air. Judge
Charles E. Foster blushed and sent
her back to her cell to calm herself.
l ater she was brought forth again
and thU time she wept wept as only
1 woman can weep the hitter tears
of grief. Between sobs she stated her
case, but when the judge pronounced
her judgment $50 and costs she
laughed.
"Fifty dollars and costs," she tit
tered. "That's more money than I've
seen in six months. That's actually
good. 1 can't help but laugh."
And she did laugh all the way to her
cell.
The other woman drew the same
fine and Long was discharged.
Travelers Want Both
Vestibule Doors Opened
Kelson Rich. Union Pacific attorney
for the Nebraska tines of the com
pany, is in Lincoln, before the State
Railway commission, resisting the en
forcement of an order sought by the
traveling men.
Nebraska traveling men seek to have
the railroads of the state change the
rules now in force, relative to pas
sengers gutting on and off trains.
They seek to have the car vestibules
opened on both sides, so that passen
gers may get on or off trains from
cither side of the platform. The
railroad people insist upon having the
car vestibules open only on the side
farthest away from the second track.
They do not want the enforcement of
a rule that will permit passengers to
step from the car directly onto a
track.
A GOOD WINTER HABIT
Many people dread winter because
the sudden climatic changes bring
colds, grippe, rheumatism, tonsilitis or
bronchitis. But thousands of well
informed men and women today avoid
much sicknessfor themselves and their
children by taking a few bottles of
Scott's Emulsion to make richer blood,
fortify the membranes of the throat
andchestandcreate body-warmth to re
sist sickness. Soldiers at war receive cod
liver oil; it will also strengthen you.
Scott & Bownc, Bloomfield, K. J. 16-31
What Mexico Did
For Our Militia
"Every day drives a nail into the coffin of the Hay Federalized Guard Plan," exclaims one of the ad
verse critics of the National Defense Act, which enabled the Federal Government to call out the National
Guard of sundry States to do police duty along the Mexican border.
Now, that the militia is being withdrawn, public interest is keenly alive as to what the four months'
sojourn has accomplished toward a system of National defense.
THE LITERARY DIGEST for December 16th gives expression, in a very interesting feature-article,
to the views held by authoritative military journals, prominent newspapers and military officers. The
article throws a strong light upon the inside workings of the military machine during the Border service
and also gives opinions as to the future of the National Guard.
Among the many other articles of equal interest in this number may be mentioned :
