Kill Off Santa Claus?

Every year about this time,
certain paragons of virtue be-
come uneasy. What gnaws
their vitals is that they cannot
comprehend how fifteen or
twenty million healthy minded
parents can be in league with
the fine old fellow who squeezes
his tuhby corporation down
chimneys and fills stockings
and leaves behind him marvels
which none save those who live
in the fairy world of childhood
can appreciate. The objection
is on the ground of teaching de-
ceit!
Because a blind man cannot
see the golden sunshine, may
he say that the sun gives off no
light? Te:ause an unfortunate
with a clamimy clod where his
heart should be cannot see
Santa Claus, is that a reason
Santa Claus does not exist?
About the truest, realest,
surest proposition in this bless
ed country is Santa Claus.
Millions of parents, from those
in palaces to those in the top
floor, rear, tenements are anx-
iously awaiting him. Millions
of tiny hearts are fluttering
against tiny ribs, impatient of
the Wonder Night.
Centuries before you and l
were thought Of, Sanity Claus
was. Ages after the worlds
rulers Of today will have be-
come semi-myths befogged in
mists of history, Santa Claus
will be. Long as rivers flow
and mountains endure Santa
Claus will live. To kill him of

The High School Debates

The High School Debates
The Southwest district of the
Iowa High School Debating
League is now about organized.
The following schools have en-
tered the league: Denison,

set, Missouri Valley and posi-.
bly, Shenandoah and Bedford.
The first series will be- held
Jan. 20, 1911. The pairing for
this debate is as follows: Cla-
rinda vs. Tabor, Winterset VS.
Abel, Denison VS. Missouri Val
ley, and if arrangements can
be completed Shenandoah VS.
Bedford.
The debate between Denison
and Mo. Valley will be held at
Denison. The choice of sides
has not yet been determined.
d enison has first choice.
The above eight schools will
give the district as large an en-
rollment as it has had hereto
fore. 1t was feared that 1t
would be hard to get a suM.
cisnt number of schools to en-
ter this year. This fear has
not been realized as eight
schools are entered, though
some are very late getting in.
The enrolment in the other
districts is also about the same
as in other years. Fort Dodge,
state champion for the past
three years, has not entered
this year.
AS stated above the first SER
les will be held on Friday, even.
ing, Jan. 20, 1911. The second
will be Feb. 10, and the third
