"NEVER MORE"
Once upon a morning early
While the dew was cold and
pearly,
And the northern geese were
honking in the swamps
Of Tide Lake,
I got out my battered Lizzie,
Boots and gun, and then got
busy
Driving south so I would get
there ere the morning's
Dawn should break.
As I sped along toward
Merrill
From my lips there hummed
a carol;
I was feeling quite content
ed, if you know
Just what I mean.
Liz was traveling quite
nifty;
Ging forty felt like
fifty
Far too early for the speed
cop; I know how to
Use my bean.
Moon was smiling kind and
friendly,
As I flashed along through
Henley;
Seemed a cinch my morn
ing's hunting wouldn't be
A dismal flop ;
Suddenly there showed be
hind me
Lights so bright I thought
they'd blind me;
"Crying Christopher," I
muttered, "can it be
That he's a cop?"
"Hey there, mister, what's
your hurry?"
He yelled at me. Grief and
worry
Wrecked my hunting trip
right there upon a reef
of rocky shoals;
That is why I sing this ditty
To a bird we ought to
pity
Gee, it's tough to get arrest
ed by a guy like
R. E. Knowles.

Warm Hearted People Of This
City Are Quick To Respond To
Appeal Of Worthy Youngsters
Eleven Dollars in Cash and 25 Boys' Books Do
nated to Fund For Unfortunate Tots
Herald Plan Has Support of the
Community Chest
Klamath's unfortunate tots are going to have a Christ
mas this year that they will never forget There are
oing to be dolls and doll dishes, books and drums and
horns and candy and nuts and all the other things dear
to childish hearts when dawn breaks over Klamath on
Christmas morning.
The Evening Herald's Kiddies' Christmas fund is off
to a good start. Working in conjunction with the Com
munity Chest organization, the Evening Herald has
promised to furnish the necessary toys for Klamath's
needy children. The Christmas Chest funds and supplies
will be needed for more material things.
A little lad with ii piping voicj called t'ae Santa Claus editor by
telephone yeste. day ufturnoon.
"Would you take Bjme bays' books for your children's fund?"
he aaked. L
Ulcus year heart, my boy, ore will take the books and gladly.
That'll tKe sort of spirit that Is going to make this fund take cire of
every unfortunate youngster In the city.
"I've got 25 good boys' books," he volunteered. "I got them for
last C'-'Ulstmas and for my birthday and thev're almost as good as new."
Those books head the list of donations to the Kiddles' Christmas fund.
It was late yesterday afternoon that O. A. Dunn, Klamath con
traetar, walked into tho office:
"I want to do my hit for the kiddies." he said quietly. And then
he sat down and wrote out his check foT So. "That's mighty fine
work yon are doing," be said. "I know that you can put It over fir the
sake of the kids." i
.
This morning a man in overalls and faded blue sweater
brushed through the door. In his hand he carried a din
net pail. In the other hand he carried a silver dollar.
"Here, take this for the youngsters," he said quickly,
and then left as suddenly as he had come, without re
vealing his identity. '
Mrs. E. G. Dreher of the Northern Fur Shop hailed one
of the reporters in front of her store.
"This is for the kiddies' fund," she said as she pressed
a dollar into the reporter's hand."
In the mining's mail there came two letters. Each
contained-aheck for $2. One was in' a woman's Hand
writing; the other a man's. They wanted to insure a
happy Christmas for Klamath's kiddies.
By way of explanation, ths Herald wants its readers
to know that the Kiddies' Christmas fund is being rais
ed in conjunction with the Community Chest organiza
tion. It has the full support of Chris Barnstable, general
chairman, and other officers of that worthy organiza
tion. But the Community Chest must use all of its re
sources to alleviate cold and hunger in the poor homes
of the citv. It will not have the f (nanMa to in k,
little toys and Christmas gifts for the kiddies. That is
1 .1 YV II . a..
wny tne neraid is promoting this tund.
We want you to give first to the Community Chest so
ihat the families may be assured of food and clothing
and bedding and fuel and other actual necessities during
the winter months. Then, if you feel that you can af
ford to do something for the youngsters; something that
will bring the smile of happiness to their eyes- then give
a dollar or two to the Kiddies' Christmas fund. You can
mail your checks to the "Kiddies' Christmas Fund" in
care of the Evening Herald.
