The sound of a baby voice and the
sight of a baby form-these things
have an added charm for our popu-

his whiskers and call him papa is the
cause.

Conference Tuesday. He will preach
in the Methodist church as usual Sun

him.
Much as we dislike to do so there
are some names on our subscription
list that will be dropped unless pro-
tested against by the persons them
selves. OF course, if they do not want
it done their wish shall be obeyed,
but actions, not words, must speak
in this case.
The GOLD LEAF feels peculiar pride
in the showing made by it's advertis-
ers and takes pleasure in calling at
tention to the business announce
ments of Henderson's Invest dealers
which peep out prominently from our
holiday cut on first page this week.

There are several things we would
like to write about this week, but the

has to do the work of two or three
set advertisements, do other me-
chanical work and get up something
to ..fill space besides, whatever will
keep must 90 over till next week.
The poor we have with US always

fords peculiar and appropriate OPP
portunity for contributing to the
needs and adding to the comfort and
happiness Of the less fortunate ones
about us.
