XMAS COMING; TOY SHORTAGE FELT IN CITY

Anticipating an unuBually eaxly Christmas trade due to the general knowledge that there is an unprecedented shortage In toys and trinkets this year, dealers In holiday goods have started to display articles which go inseparably with Santa Claus. In two toy store windows on Main street, dolls are on display. Women

have realized that the "Do Your

Shopping Early" slogan Is nothing to be laughed at this year. Toy merchants report that already many shining toys and fascinating dolls have been purchased and placed securely In dark corners by mothers who wish to guarantee their children against disappointment on Christmas morning because of the toy shortage. Christmas comes exactly ten weeks from today. Bank Accounts Grow. Christmas saving bank accounts have grown steadily during the year and by now they are beginning to reach large dimensions. But it will take much more money this Christmas than ever before. From all appearances there will only be one thing connected with the holiday season which has not advanced in retail price this is the Red Cross Seal which will be placed on the market within the next few weeks. But the war has even had Its effect upon the stamp. The green In it will not be as rich as in former years. Boys and girls have not overlooked the fact that Christmas is only a few weeks off. Already several have begun to "sprout their wings." Start on "Good" Campaign. Most of them have decided, however not to start on the annual "Being Good" campaign which has for its purpose the pleasing of that old red cheeked man with snow-white hair and whiskers until after Halloween. Although the times are prosperous and all men are employed, the usual preparations are being made for the happiness of the unfortunate population of the city. The Elks' lodge has laid extensive plans for serving a big Christmas dinner to the poor children. Other fraternal orders are also making plans to play "Santa Claus." Churches will distribute the usual number of baskets. Because of the Increased cost of living, it is anticipated that Christmas will be as badly needed among the poor this year as ever, despite the fact that work with high wages Is plentiful.

ASK GOVERNMENT

TO OPEN ARMORY

EATON, O.. Oct. 16. With the aplirrach of the season when dancing rarties. basketball and other indoor sports come in for their respective attention comes the popular demand that probably will result in a petition being Med with proper state officers In an endeavor to have the local armory thrown open for public use. Whether the step will avail anything Is a question that remains to be ascertained, but talk of such action is heard locally on all sides. The opera house furnishes the only auditorium in the city where dancing parties can be staged, but it is entirely inadequate for basketball, and the demand for conveniences afforded by the armory was never stronger.

In homes where Grape-Nuts is not known, a single package from the grocer would make it a fast friend and standby because of its wonderfully pleasing flavor and staunch nourishment the supreme goodness of whole wheat and barley. Every table should have its daily ration of Grape-Nuts "There's a Reason"
