This message Is that, despite war, embargo and hard times, Kama Claus is expected to appear at the usual time. He may not bring quite so much in his pack as in past years but he will hring something and there is ground for rejoicing in that, for thousands of persons had feared that Christmas this year would mean nothing more than two figures on the calendar. The Christmas trade has begun somewhat earlier than usual, since so many persons know that the fepl post, with the bent intentions in the world will need all the time It can get to bring gifts to the soldiers In the field. War Times Feature. A war time feature is the opening of an elaborate exposition of "what the soldier needs In the. field.” There Is a. surprising range of things that must have been manufactured since th" war began, from condensed foods arid drinks to elaborate sleeping sacks and including literally hundreds of in genious devices to make the field duty of the soldier more comfortable. The large stores show regular ante- Phrlstmas pictures in all departments. Perhaps the only difference is in the stocks of military toys which are rather larger than usual. Regiment upon regiment of toy soldiers appear, all uniformed in the new “field gray" and drums, guns, swords, tiny uni forms, cuirasses and soldier caps, al ways prominent in the toy depart ments, lake up more spare than In peace times. A large proportion of the books deal also with the war. Bus iness too Is good according to the mer chants. Christmas Trees. Carloads of Christmas trees have been arriving for several days. In one respect it will bo more nearly like the old fashioned Christmas than fur many years. There will be more home marie toys, garments, etc., and domestic fruits will take the place of various tropical products which either are very- dear or not to be had at all. Provision Is being made for the thousands of homes desolated by the war Relief associations will see that the war orphans are not forgotten, ft will, however, he a sad Christmas in Germany. cl •V'" near WANT WAIVERS ON EIGHTEEN CUBS-TO KEEP 17 RESERVES Chioagoo.- Waivers have been asked on 18 members of the Chicago Na tionals according to an announcement today by Manager Rresnahan. who ad ded that 17 players on the reserve liett would be retained.

DUDLEY US 3 Mississippi; First Baseman, Shortstop and Outfielder Recommended By Man Who “Found” Clark For Augusta. Meridian, Mias. —Although prospects for league baseball in Meridian again are practically nil, no re-organization 1 of the defunct Cotton States League] being possible at this time, It does not keep the fans from watching the pre- ] liminaries being made for next year in other leagues and furnishing good material, which may later develop Into something worth while in the basebah world. Among these events has been the signing of "Bunch" O’Neill as tirst baseman; "Red" Perry as shortstop and bred Dunning, as an outfielder by the Augusta, Ga., club in the South Atlantic League. All three are home products and it is believed that they will make good with the club, who secured their services on recommend ations of .1 .1 Smith, Jr. If Mr. Smith’s predictions tor the three turn out as well as they did for Danny Clark, who made good with Birmingham in the Southern league with a rush and who was farmed to Augusta, has created a good opinion of his recommendations in the Augusta camp. The three boys will not leave for Augusta before the training sea son. Danny Clark, who clouted the ball with a good hard wallop all last sea son was heralded as one of the com ing second basemen of the Southern League and came near getting a regu lar position on the Birmingham team; had it not been tor his youth and in experience. lie has Improved, how ever, and when he trains with the Iron Men during the coming season, it is believed that some second sacker has got to hustle to beat him to the regu lar job. The above communication shows that Manager Dudley is on the job and during these rather bleak December da*K is preparing for the days to come when he will need a bunch of good men to fight for the championship of 1»1 r>. And as these men were recom mended by the same man who “found ' Clark, it’s a dead certainty that the three named above are going to be valuable assets to the locals. 11.00000 IN PANAMA TOLLS Substantial and Progressing Increase Shown in Canal Re ceipts.
