SANTA CLAUS IS
GRIEF STR|KEN
DoIlies That go to Sleep are
Scarce

Santa Claus is grief stricken over
the fact that he will have but a
few dollies of the type that open and
close their eyes this year. Some of
the little girls are sad, too.
The war in Europe has reached
across the Atlantic and created a
shortage in dolls that go to sleep.
There will be plenty of the dollies
with the immoYable eyes. So if you
are little girl who can love a dolly
in spite of the fact that it is starry
eyed, stiff jointed and tangle haired,
you will be happy on Christmas But
if you are a little girl who wants
your dolly to close her eyes when
you tuck her in bedS you're going
to feel ''awfuly bad
Fortunately Santa Claus brought
osme sleeping dolls to Grand Rap
ids before the war started, and while
this supply lasts, the kiddies will be
happy.
However, there is one degree of
happiness that the kiddies can be
glad over and that is the fact that
there are many big factories in the
United States which are now work
ing day and night making hobby hor
ses, drums and little red wagons So
even thought the war in Europe will
not let any more go to sleep dolls
come to this country, Santa Claus
will do his best to make every little
American boy and girl hppay with
what he can get for them here.

PEACE HATH ITS
VICTORIES mo
LESS Than WAR

The world stands aghast at the
conditions and results of war! Few
realize the narrow veil between
peace and war; the verge of events
which might produce disturbance at
a moments notice.
To the pure, all things are pure !;
to the peaceful, all things are peace
full; to the suspecting, all things
are right.
There is an underlying condition of
strife all about us, all the time: it
is noted in individuals, in families,
in communities.
A continent has been plunged into
a serious war almost without warn
ing; but that war did not develop in
a few days; it had been in the
hearts of men for a long time
In this community, men plan
daily activities in the supposition
that peace is a permanent possession
men; to pursue our daily activities
without fear of molestation; with
out thought of interference; without
expectation of opposition.
So long as men are right in their
contact with men there will be no
occasion to dispute their personal lib
critics; when they become wrong,
there is public sentiment which steps
in and objects.
But the need of the times is for
a brotherliness which insures peace;
a helpfulness which complse respect
Of the rights of each.
If We are going to have peace in
our country, We must have peace in
