A0NNNNNNNNNNNN0N :
THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS

n EARS ago, when the bril-
- liant and famous Charles
@ A. Dana was editor of the
New York Sun, a little girl
wrote a letter to the editor,
asking if there is a Santa Claus.
The answer, published edi-
torially. was unsigned, but is
generally attributed to the pen
of Mr.. Dana himself and is con-
sidered one of the finest clas-
sizes of Christmas literature OF
ali time.
The East Oregonian, like
Dir. Dana, believes in Santa
Claus and in the fairies, and
feels that is editorial space on
this Christmas day could be de-
goted to no better purpose than
ghe reproduction Of this liter
airy gem.
We take pleasure IN ans
Wering at once and thus promi-
nently the communication be-
low, expressing at the same
time our great qualification
&hat its faithful author is num-
bered among the friends Of the
Sun:
''Dear Editor. ! am eight
years old. Some Of my friends
say that there is no Santa
Claus. Papa says, If you see it
in the Sun it's so" Please tell
me the truth; is there a Santa
Claus?
VIRGINIA 0. HANLON.
Virginia, your little friends
are wrong. They have been
affected by the skepticism of a
skeptical age. They do not be-
lieve except what they see.
They think that nothing can be
which is not comprehensive by
their little minds. All minds,
Virginia, whether they be
mems or children's, are little.
En this great universe Of ours,
man is a mere insect, an ant, in
his intellect as compared with
9he boundless world about him,
rs measured by the intelligence
capable of grasping the whole
VI truth and knowledge.
"Yes, Virginia, there is a
Santa Claus. He exists as GER
tsinly as love and generosity
and devotion exist, and you
know that they abound and
give to your life its highest

Distributed in United States

S225 ,O00.000 Holiday Stickers Already
Distributed in United States
Few people have any conception Of
the magnitude Of the Red Cross
Christmas Seal Campaign. Here are
a few figures that will show what a
gigantic movement this is, Already
BPS, 100000 Seals have been printed
and practically that number distrib-
uted to agents in every state and ter
ritory of the Union from Alaska to
the Canal Zone, from Porto Rico to
Hawaii, and even in the far-of Phil
ippines. Advertising circulars, post
crs, cards, etc, TO the number of sew
eral million, have also been distribut-
ed. Not less than 100000 personal
letters asking people to buy Seals
have been sent out II is estimated
that the army of workers, nearly all
of whom are volunteers, engaged in
selling the Seals numbers well over
100000. The advertising and public
ity devoted tothe campaign amounts
to several hundred thousand dollars.
Every effort is being put forth to sell
100,000,000 Seals, or only one for
every man, woman and child in the
United States. This will mean
$1,000,000 for the anti-tuberculosis
campaign in the United States. Over
1900 anti tuberculosis associations of
the country derive their support from
Red Cross Seals. If the good work is
to go on, you must help.
