—- —— + “October seems:a trifle early for. the planning of Christmas gifts but not ‘the gifts intended for Uncle Sam’s soldier boys. The American Red Cross society has issued instructions‘for the thaking and sending of gifts to be sent to the boys in the training camps ‘and in France. -In order to avoid con- fusion and mistakes all Christmas packages will go through the Ameri- can Red Cross no matter where the boys are located. And in order to mnake good this great task in handling the many. packages, the local Red Cross chapters will have charge™ of the work for the various sections. |The Bismarck chapter is alréady lanning to take charge of this work and are asking that those wishing to send gifts to the boys in khaki send them to the headquarters as soon as possible. Much red tape will have to ‘be gone through before the packages Ganvreach the recipient and the soonet they; reach the Ked Cross the better the ‘chance for the gift to arriyein time for the happy Christmas mora. u The chapter headquarters will be a eritable Santa Claus’ assem ly room when the packages begin to arrive. A anecial committee will have charge of this department work. No boy in France or in the various training camps should be forgotten. Names of| “the boys of the various companies Iéaving Fort Lincoln and from this section can be secured from Adjutant General Fraser and the Woman’s' Aux: iliary to Company A. The list of draft- boys is held by Sheriff J. P. French ar this county. From the American Red Cross head- quarters in Washington comes special instructions what can best be sent and How best to send it. They follow: ':&“By Christmas we shall have a large number of men in France, and 600,000 in the cantonments at home besides the thousands in our regular ‘army posts and in our navy and every- Uae Time Is Ripe for Planning Christmas ' Gifts for Soldiers; Red Cross to Aid one will be eager to help in giving | them Christmas cheer. No matter how generous a supply of gifts some of the mea may receive from families and friends, it is believ- ed that all Red Cross members will want to unite in sending each man a Christmas packet filled with good. things and good will. “In order that the men may be equally remembered . and yet that there may be a pleasing variety in the ‘packets, the following suggestions are | made for nreparing and assembling the packages: Nothing suould be sent that will not keep fresh until Christmas. Dried “fruits and other food products should _be packed in small tin or wooden Lox- es, one-quarter to half pound sizes. Hard candy, including chocolate would probably be safe in tin foil but soft chocolates would crush and spoil oth- er articles in packet. Several dainties packed in oblong tin boxes holding each a quarter of a pound will pro- vide a splendid variety. No liquids; and articles packed in glass should be sent. “For wrapping the gifts use a khaki- colored handkerchief 27 inches square, and form the base of the pack-| et by placing on the center of the ,hendkerchief a pad of writing-paper about seven by ten inches. These ‘khaki handkerchiefs can be purchased through the Red Cross at the local headquarters. “Parcels may be tied with one-inch red ribdon and place a Christmas card under the bow of ribbon. A card bear- ing the greetings of the chapter or individual would be desirable. The parcel should then be wrapped in! \heavy light brown Manila paper, tied! securely with red, green or gilt cord and use Christmas labels or American flags as desired.” A more complete list of articles sug- gested by the Red Cross wil be pu)- lished tomorrow. \HOSKINS-DOLLAR WEDDING AT SUMMER HOME OF BRIDE {Bismarckers are interested in the Marriage last Saturday oi Miss Helen Dimond Hoskins, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Dimond Hos- kins of Fourth street, to Glover -H.
