The Associated Aid Wants
to Miss No Person in Need
THE Associated Aid Societies, a big charitable organization in the
city, to-day issued this Christmas message in a final appeal to j
the public that no person be missed in its efforts to supply Y'ule- j
tide spirit to all the homes of the needy to-morrow:
"The Spirit of Christmas and "Peace, Good Will" is in the air. j
The season, is a happy one for many but our thoughts turn to the
neglected children, the siek, aged, lonely, unfortunate of our city;
whose poverty and misfortune are accented and felt more keenly
because of the joyfulness of the Yuletide.
"We want to feel that at Christmas no child or needy one is i
without shoes, warm clothing and a touch of Christmas cheer.
''And remembering that the work of the Associated Aid Socie
ties is carried on entirely by voluntary contributions, you will realize
the urgent need must be met so that we may quickly, intelligently
and sympathetically help all who need us.
"We give the personal friendly touch which you would render
had you the time.
"May we count on jour Christmas gift, large or small—for
'Some one?'

The historic facts and human

the pamphlet tells the story of the I

Wins Prize For Keeping
Railroad Track in Order
Quarryviile, Dec. 24.—For the pec
ond time George Minnich, of Quarry
ville, who is track foreman on the
four-mile section of the low grade
railroad running west of Quarry
ville, has taken the first prize of SSO
for having the best-kept section on
j the whole line.
Mr. Minnich is the youngest fore-
I man on the road and has held liis
present position for seven years. His
section is one of tne most difficult on
the line, as the cuts and fills are
through a quicksand section. He is
| ably assisted in his work by his son,
Walter, who has been with him ever
since he was on the road. The only
time he was off was when lie served
in Fiance with the army for almost
two years, but going back to his work
at once after his return.
That Foreman Minnich is as popu
lar with his employes as with his
employers is shown from the fact
that only recently his men presented
him with an elegant gold watch.

street, is ill at the home of Mrs.

and miss who wants a high class suit at a bargain price. This radical reduction is made
in the face of high market prices and despite the fact that most of these suits are of such

much more than the regular price.

gle garment, wildly rode a horse
through the freezing weather to

j ing their injuries trudged barefoot
I through the snow bearing the body
! of the urchin to reach the. home of
| their nearest neighbor, a mile away,
j Overcome by Injury, fatigue and ox
i posure. they were obliged to lay
I their burden in the snow-covered
| road until they were able to arouse
| neighbors. The family lost every
thing.
