Countless Empty Stockings in Europe


Santa Claus will be in Edgefeld in
less than twenty days. But the sad
thought in connection with the ap-
preaching Christmas is that so many
homes in Europe have been deprived
of Santa Claus by the cruel war, and
as result there Will be countless thou
sands of empty stockings throughout
the war zone. Sure the little folk
on this side of the Atlantic have much
to be thankful for. Right here parents
should call to their minds how much
they have as compared with the
fatherless little ones of Europe. Their
fathers are either in the trenches or in
their newly made graves, the former
condition being but little preferable to
,the isi.ter.
