Yulehde, 1918.

We know him as jolly, but he's grown proud,
As he watches the rush of the holiday crowd.
He hears the coins jingle, the rustic of bills
At the thought of such wealth with eation he thrills
As he muses., "One change, by-product of war,
Has come from the reign of the cruel god ThorP'
He notes the gay windows of numberess shops
He marks each hne the curb it stops,
So happy, wei groomed the throngs they walk,
He swaggers among them with real kingly. stalk.
And nc thinks who beat it, Though losses we've had
We've Just schooled ourselves forget act gladl"
He sghs for a minute, then says "This is true
Throughout great land of the Red, White and Blue
And one wondrous fact is delghtng my heart
We've shown ingenuity, skill and true art
1 never have seen, the stocks on display
More beautiful gifts than profered today a
And each has meaning of import to me-
In the simplest of toys great nation see
The Made-in-Amerca stamp signifies
A people grown deft independent and wise"
Thus Santa Claus muses., with a right to be proud
AZ, ineog, he keeps tabs holiday crowd
