Do you wonder why this one or that one has no representation in the list? Do you think that all the Dol! and Toy dope that has been handed to you in forty varieties has all been directed at the "other fellow?" Nay, nay. If your name doesn't appear in the long list below, YOU are the gink who lias been the target. Not the 'other fellow." YOU. ■ o just lay off of these wonder in vs about the others and let the id a firmly sink into your dome of j '.bought that it is squarely up to you. j ftcr counting 'em over on an adding machine, The Review finds I that there are following delin quents in all classes: Four hundred and seventy who are able to give from five dollars upward who have not re sponded; seven hundred fifty who could give one dollar upward: four teen hundred ninety-one who could give from fifty cents to one dollar,! and nineteen hundred and twenty- j two who could give from five cents to fifty cents. All these folks are holding out on Old Kris, and, by jing, it'll serve 'em dead right if the I • old gent passes every last one of'em! up when he makes his annual visit, p Already, it has been possible by j the big-hearted, generous folks — 1 presented in the list given below 7o i do something for the little, poverty- 1 pinched, off-springs at Christmas time. But, for doing it up ....... big, broad; handsome manner that falls so naturally to the part of Mor gan City, the amount is insufficient. Ladies and gentlemen, girls and boys, if the stunt is to be pulled in big-league order you've got to slip i your bit to the diddies and slip lively. December 21st is the date for closing ! the list for the Doji and Toy Fund. ' Just a few more days left for you to help out. A nickel or a dime wont break you and it surely will dish up a heap of hilarity for some little, old hick that would otherwise have nothing. The ladies of the King's Daugh ters have planned to have the big blow-out for the kids on December 23rd. Seven days off. That's why you'll have to step lively. All funds contributed to The Re view Doll and Toy Fund will be dis bursed by The King's Daughters of this city. The Peoples State and Sav ings Bank is the place of deposit for the Fund but contributions will be accepted by the banks of Morgan City and by a number of the busi ness men.

A BUSINESS OFFICE FOR THE FARN If you are planning to build a farm home, make it complete by in cluding in your plans space for an office. Such a room in the farm home should be considered more as a nec essity than a luxury. You have a place in which-to look over and care for your mail, to file your business documents, to keep your agricultural papers and books, and to receive your business callers. Such a room would be a great incentive to the proper business management of the farm.— L. S. U.
