Presents to Boys Only
y GOD Old Santa Claus

u Father says that owing to the
high cost of living we must prac-
tise economy and not expect any
Santa Claus presents this year. I am
not going to holler and kick about 1t,
but will be willing to stand my share.
I have already stopped chewing gum
and eating peanuts, and I haven't
made a holler for jam at the table
in most week.
Yesterday I chewed a piece Of leath-
err all day so that I wouldn't be so
hungry at dinner time.
You will probably be hard up with
the rest of us this year, and am
not the boy to blame you If you skip
us entirely. I'd like a pocketknife,
a pair of skates and drum, but II
YOU can't afford to. then let them go.
7 shall continue to be your friend till
death, just the same.
If YOU don't bring anything cut
out the rest Of the boys In the city,
too. I can't stand to have other boys
Dragging over me.
1t seems to me that you would make
a great hit to cut out all the girls
and give presents to boys only, but
it is not for me to give you hints on
how to run your business.
I did want a pair of rubber boots
but I can go around with wet fee
and sacrifice my health.
surely expected a drum, but car
use an old tin pan in place Of it. I
realize that the country must be
saved.
