Santa Claus is going to have very
busy time this year if he Supplies all the
wants the little people have expressed
through the columns of the Press.
| Some of the little tots will be great
ly disappointed in not seeing their
letters in print, but they can rest as
sured that Santa Claus will find out
their wants just the same. Every let
ter that has been written to him has
been forwarded and it is of little con-
sequence whether it appears in print
or not. Look out for him on Christmas
eve.
The following letters have been re-
ceved since the publication of the last
lot:
