On the top of the old time mill is written "Try our hot chocolates."

On Monday night, the first day of the year, four officers of the club, president, the vice presidents and the secretary, will start out at 10 o'clock to make a day of it calling u-pon every newcomer that it be possible to wa't upon during cne day. The value of such work is hard to estimate and means much In making newcomers feel that they are welcome and have become in reality a part of the city which they have chosen for a home. It will serve to tie them to the place and make them fewKthat they have a duty as all other good citizens must have to help work out the problems which always exist every oemmun'ty. The following notice is being sent out to the members of the club and a big turnout is anticipated: Wlio is That Many-Let us give our newcomerse a glad welcome at the "newcomers' meeting" to be on Monday night, January 1, 1912, o'c'ock in the assembly-room of the Selwyn He tel.

GREEK MAKES A I CLEAN GETAWAYl Ernest Coppasas Leaves His Partner, Peter Pap pas in a Lurch Creditors Get Converting the entire assets of the firm into ready cash, and cleaning out the bank account, Ernest Coppasas, a Greek, and a member of the firm conducting tne Cly.upio Candy Kitchen, on East Trade street, has gone, and neither the winds nor the birds have brought a whisper of his whereabouts today.

His partner, Peter Pappas, left to bear the brunt of the wildcat proceedings of his former partner, is now trying to win a fight to save himself at least the personal exemption allowed by the law, while a number of creditors of the firm have instituted proceedings to get whatever tangible of assets may have been overlooked by the departing member of the firm. After the disappearance of the high financier, Pappas claimed the personal property exemption, and judgment credi tors also got busy and had the business closed until matters are straightened out. Upon the application of Pappas fr the personal property exemption, the judg ment creditors put up a bond of $500, which insures Pappas' receiving anything that may be coming to him under the exemption provision, if the courts shall decide that under the circumstances he is entitled to this exemption. Pappas is represented by Mr. D.

B. Paul, and of the judgment creditors. Larabry Brothers, who have a eaim of about S200. are represented by C. W.

Til- lett, and Messrs. J. W. Zimmerman, R. H.

Fields and Charles Moody are represented by Mr. A. Bell, the case thus becoming a three-sided fight. It is claimed also that Coppasaa had ordered gedds from out-of-town houses, getting friends to stand for him, and that in order to make a thorough clean-up, he signed for these goods and had them shipped elsewhere and received the cash for the same before he departed. Coppasas going was silent, tr.it financially, it was a big success.
