By Relief Group More than 200 families in En dlcott have been supplied with abundance of clothing from . the large store collected by virtue of the laudable work done by th e committee of local women under the unemployment commission during th e few weeks of its exist ence. ^Thousands of pieces of clothing gathered from .the homes of local titiuhs were neatly piled in the vacant store at 1X3 West Main street where under th e super vision of John F. Evans they were distributed b y order of the sup erintendent tff\ th e poor, the vari ous school praejpals an d others to th e needy of'the village. But few articles remain now in the store-house although there has become apparent an addition al need fo r some articles. A shortage was reported* of under wear of all'\descriptions hosiery for children, ^arctics and over shoes. 'Provision'has been made for supplying the demand fo r shoes of which but few which were serviceable were contributed. Numerous coats and vests remain to be dispensed bu t the supply of men's trousers was very meager and many more of these would be acceptable to the committee. Need of boys suits, age 4 to 14 was also expressed an d i t is hoped that many more of these will be con tributed. Canned goods, fruits and floor still remain an d are being given out only to the neediest cases. Mr. Evans reports that the abuse of the privilege extended to' those who are being benefitted is un usually slight an d the gratitude of those who have received ai d through this source makes the distribution a pleasure. — • < • > TO ELECT OFFICERS The Epworth League of the VestalfMi'Bi r cntfrch, will elect their, \officers fo r the coming year at'-the,, regular- meeting, of .the or? ganliation'which will b e held on Sunday evening at 6:00 o'clock in the church. BILL RAJAHS ON CHRISTMAS Well, by gum, only one week from today an d all the kid- diesll be lookin* in their stock ing an ' rippin' packages tied with all kinds of ribbons an' scatterin' the pieces all over the floor. Christmas is on e day when you can clutter up the floor without gettin' bawled out for it They's somethin' about the whole thing of the Christmas rush that kinda gets you. Ev erybody always seems in good spirits and happy, even the poor store clerks that smile a t you when you take about ten minutes to pick out gran'ma's gift. Bu t th e gu y that takes the cake is papa when h e buys a train for little Willie and then plays with it himself all Christmas afternoon. Tour's, BILL RAJAHS. Tales of Santa Claus To Be Told At Story Hour CHRISTMAS SPIRIT INCREASES AS FESTIVE HOLIDAY LOOMS WEEK AWAY Twinkling red, green, blue, golden an d van-colored lights adorning the fragrant evergreens of homes and stores in th e village are beautiful harbingers of Santa Claus who is expected next week to gladden the hearts of children and adults alike with his many gifts, a bountiful dinner an d the music an d good-fellowship which reign supreme at the internation al anniversary of the birth of tho Saviour of all Christian \peoples the world over.

Kiddies peer into nooks and crannies about th e home in vain effort to find what Santa has destined them t o re ceive on Christmas Day. The streets of the town are all in holiday attire, long strings of colored lights are turned on at dusk making th e thoroughfares radiant with cheery illumination and atiditjg greatly t o di e festive spirit which is rapidly growing more fervid as the long-lopked fo r day looms but a short week away. Merchants ar e reporting an ex cellent business and state that the reported depression will have but little effect upon the general vol ume of Christmas trade.

Continued cold weather an d the prescence of leaden skies point ty> a possible \white\ Christmas Day which will add greatly to the effectiveness of the evergreen decorations of the holiday.
