"Melly Klisimas" Greetings"
(Toronto Globe) 9.
A distance of several thousand
miles was bridged by one of the
many Christmas greeting cards re-
ceived` by the Lions Club. This card,
bearing on one side, a photograph of
a camel train swinging along a val-
ley, with the famed Wall of China
on the hills in the background, came
all the way from Tientsin, in the
Province of Yunnan, South Chula, Jk
had been sent by the genial mem-
bers of the Lions ' Club there,
Tile 'greetings borne by the card,
written in "pidgin" 'English, ale
worthy of production. Under the
capton, "Melly Gleetings Flom China
Side," the first verseeof a bit of dog-
gerel runs:
"Too muchee long tune no have see
Ole fiend acloss the sea;
One little gleeting me sendee you:
Talkee Melly Klisimas and New Year
too,
" Klisimas time just now begin,
My wishee you welly best chin -chin;
Plenty chanece allee time,
iMay please excuse airy little lyme."
Reflectors for Vehicles
The Quebec Government are giv-
ing two reflectors to every farmer
and otherswho has% horse drawn ve-
hicles. This is a very wise move as
the horse' drawn vehicle is in great
danger on the highway at night, es-
pecially if an auto with bright lights
is meeting it and another coming up
from behind, It is often impossible
to see the buggy untl too late. The
reflectors given are yellow for the
front and red for behind
Cargill Without Lights
Cargill is in darkness and the
town may be without electric lights
and power for a whole month as the
result 61 a break at the power plant
Monday night. Repairing was being
done to the big wl'teel at the plant
and in opening the water gates the,
force was so strong that one gate
struck the water wheel, ripping it to
pieces, It will be necessary to have
the wheel remolded, which may take
three weeks or longer. The break.
means a considerable loss to the com-
pany.
Baby Girl to 8e Given Away
Probably the very latest and new-
est advertising stunt to be palled is
now filling the papers. They are giv-
ing' away to the holder of the litcky
ticket, a real live bouncing baby girl,
seven weeks, old. This price is to 'be
given away absolutely free at a New
Year's Eve frolic at the Tivoli Thea-
tre, St. Thomas..
The mother of the babe is said to
be unable to keep it, The authorit-
ties are interfering and rightly so,
Slavery days are long'since:past and
