Volunteers Contribute Xmas Baskets to Needy More than 1,500 baskets containing large Christmas dinners were given out December 24 to the worthy poor of Chicago and its suburbs by the Vol- unteers of America. All baskets were to be distributed to families who hold cards from the Christmas Bureau of Chicago a bureau created to check up on all names of unfortunates submit- ted by charitable organizations and to thus prevent duplication of effort. This "Christmas clearing house" makes it possible for Christmas donations ot money to be spread over a wide area and brings scientific business methods into the work of mercy. Eugene Rummler of Starr road, who went East on a short business trip, has returned to his home for the holi- days. EXCEL ICE CREAM comes COWS! We do not supply Dealers. any occasion. ICE CREAM CO.
