SHIP EARLY

1t would be perfectly fair for the
mail and express clerks to say that
they are not treated justly in the shop
early campaign. These clerks work
extra time during the holiday season.
but even then are not able to handle
the increased volume of Christmas
business. The transportation compa-
nies are run by human beings who de-
mand that a little of the spirit Of
Christmas be shown them. Delayed
Christmas packages are the fault of
the shipper, not the mail and express
clerks. Many persons hold their
packages until the day before Christ
mas, thinking that they can be sent
then as promptly as at ordinary times.
OF course, the shipping clerks get the
blame for the late deliveries.
Why not try to tighten the burdens
of the clerks who aid us in making
the far-off friend happy at Christmas
time? The postmaster and the heads
of the express companies would be
too glad to tell shippers what could
be done to assist in eliminating the
delay of packages, and tightening
some of the burdens of their en-
ployes as well.
But remember these few rules at
least. Ship your Christmas packages
early, send them out today or tomor-
row. Don't delay the sending until
the last few days The express COM
panies will give you a label reading
do not open until Christmas" if you
are kind enough to favor them by
sending the package early. Write the
address plainly in ink. Write your
own address somewhere on the box
or package following the word
From. Write the word Paid on
the box if you want to prepay the
charges. Use only the strongest cord
or rope on the package. If it con-
tains anything perishable, write "Per-
ishable" on the package. Follow
these simple rules and you will give
the shippers a few hours away from
the office on Christmas day.
Shop early, but ship early, too.

A CHRISTMAS THAT ISN'T,

Suppose this Christmas you were
only 4 years old and you were going
to hang your stocking up for Santa
Claus to fill. You nave already be-
gun to dream about the prancing rein
deers and the funny little old man
who drives them over the house-tops,
stops at the chimney of your home,
slides out of his sleigh, takes his pack,
bulging full of tin monkeys, jumping
jacks, laughing dolls-just the things
you want-and quietly scoots down
your chimney.
And now it is Christmas Eve. All
excited over what the next day may
bring you, you get ready to go to bed
early so that the morning will not be
so far off. But just as you 60 to hang
your stocking, dear old daddy, who
plays with you and spanks you once
in a while, but in whom you have alb
solute trust, believing every word he
tells you, and thinking that nothing
he does is wrong, lifts you gently to
his lap and, taking the stocking from
your little hands into his large strong
ones, he begins to talk to you about
Santa Claus.
Anything about Santa Claus is in
teresting. you think, and surely 1t
would be if father told it, because he
always tells such good stories. But
father doesn't look Just as he does
when he is going to tell rollicking
story. He looks more as he does
when he gets up to talk in prayer
meeting. Hesitatingly but firmly he
begins his Santa Claus story. He
tells you that Santa Claus isn't real
man after all, but Just an imaginary
little man that bad parents have given
to their children. And he has no real
prancing reindeers. no sleigh. no sack
no anything. And then papa ex-
plains that the reason he is telling

Ten Years Ago.

Lieutenant w. L. Chitty was the

farmers institutes.
Work on the new auditorium and

Judge Alexander Martin, dean of
the School of Law, died at the age
of 20.
NJ. A. Romjue, Curtis Williams and
Charles Newman were chosen to rep

Maybe you don't believe there Is
a pot of gold at the other end of the
rainbow; maybe you haven't fairy
godmother; and maybe there are a
lot of childhood beliefs which you
as a grown-up have lost faith in, but
honestly, way down in your heart.
don't you know there is a Santa
Claus?
There are believers and unbeliev-
ers. The unbelievers, with a scornful
air, say you should not perpetuate
the so-called Santa Claus lie; that it
is a sacrilege to teach children to
believe in such nonsense. And the
believers-some hold up their hands
in astonishment at the horrible
thought of not believing in the chill
dren's patron saint.
Santa Claus? We couldn't have
Christmas without him. Why, the
whole universe would be changed.
There would not be a North Pole
without Santa Claus, for doesn't he
live at the North Pole in all the glory
of the aurora borealis?'
And others with tender understand
ing smiles say, Eyes, indeed, We must
tell the children of Santa Claus. Our
very dearest memories are of the
Christmas times when we wrote to
him. talked of him and he filled our
stockings cramful of beautiful pres
ents. Why should it be a sacrilege
to allow children to believe as long
as possible in the beautiful legend
which we as children delighted in,
if it does not overshadow the story
of the Christ Child?"
COlumbians Are Believers.
Most of the people of Columbia are
believers. The ministers seem to
agree that Christmas would not be
Christmas without Santa Claus.
81 am a firm believer in Santa
Claus, said the Rev. C. w. Tadlock
of the Methodist Church. 1T isn't
sacrilege at all to teach children to
believe in him. Why, it is just the
spirit of the thing, the spirit of
Christmas"
81 cannot see that it ever did me
any HARM" said Prof. B. F. Hoffman,
superintendent of the Baptist Sunday
School. "And as to teaching the
children to believe in Santa Claus,
you do not have to teach them, he
just exists for them anyway"
Mrs. Marshall Gordon. chairman of
the Christmas entertainment commit
tee of the Presbyterian Church, said
she thought the belief in Santa Claus
an essential part of child life. that
such a belief was for the good of the
child.
Father Thomas ]. Lloyd of the
Catholic Church said he was sure the
belief in Santa Claus or st. Nicholas
would never detract from the cele-
bration of Christ's birthday.
A Typical Experience.
Another man, telling of his own
childhood, said when he first learned
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1912-12-16

you the real truth about Santa Claus
is because he loves his little boy and
does not want him to think some
thing that is not so. So that when
his boy becomes older and finds out
that there is nothing to the Santa
Claus belief, he can look upon father
as a perfectly honest man. "You can
say then your papa told you the
TRUTH" he says.
Father warmly and kindly pats your
curly head, but you don't feel it. And
with a kiss from a we'll meaning man
going to a heartsick boy, he tells you
Good night. You pause to look at
the mantel shelf, where you were
about to hang your stocking. You
look into the fireplace, where Santa
used to come through.
Father has killed my Santa Claus.
Father says he loves men," Trying
to reconcile these two thoughts you
fall asleep.
The next day is to be Christmas.
But it isn't. g.
