youngsters know that Santa is a myth
and that they wrote such communica-
tions with the cold-blooded idea of ap-
pealing to charitable persons. The
postmaster general does not agree
with this conception of childish du-
plicity and has ordered that Santa
Claus mail may be delivered to char
liable societies or benevolent ndivid-

The many poor children who can be
blessed with happy Christmas in this

the departments handling of such mail

trust; or from the dairyman he'll get

trample on my toes: and when come
with shining pail, you slug me with
your muddy tail, and nearly break my
nose. And often, when I'm in your
stall. you jam me up against the wall.
and break three ribs or four; and when
the buckets nearly full OF milk as
white as cardcd wool, you kick it
through the door. But then that
milk is Just a dream. and when it

A Graceful Act

Since the merger OF the various t"Ie-
phone companies OF the midwest into
the Mountain States Telephone and
Telegraph company the management
has been doing many things that 20
to prove It has the best interests OF its
patrons at heart; and SO, on Christmas
day, from . O'Clock In the morning
until noon, the public Is invited to
use the toll lines freely In talking To
the "dear ones at home" or whisper
Ing a "Merry Christmas" into the ear
of some friend far away. And, next
to the Joy to come from such n unique
and unusual yulctide greeting, is the
fact that this company will stand one
half the cost, bring it within the easy
reach of thousands Of people who per-
haps otherwise would not take this
means OF transmitting a good cheer
blessing.
1t is certainly departure from the
ordinary methods of public utilities
and the public will appreciate this
practical application Of the Christmas
spirit. While this reduction for the
half day will mean a great deal Of extra
expense and extra work to the tcle'
phone company, it will make many
hearts glad, and In a measure, dispcl
the general idea that "corpOrations
