The car will leave Lawrence December 19 and will be accompanied by Mr. Swweeney. Gifts will be assured of a better delivery under this scheme than if they were mailed by parcel post or mail, but if they are shipped express to Fort Sill will be overloaded with gifts to the other thirty thousand soldiers encamped there.
