CALEDONIA.
; 4444444#4#+4444


The following is only part of the
beautiful Christmas program of the
two plays put on by the faculty and
students of the Caledonia school.
These two plays promise to be some
thing of unusual interest to both the
old and the young.
Santa Claus, like many other de-
serving people in these strenuous
times, is in great trouble; Mother
Goose can not be found, and so Santa
Claus, who is short of jingles for this
Christmas, is joining in the organic
ed search for the beloved mother of
Jack and Jill, Simple Simon, Little
Boy Blue, Miss Muffett, Little 30
Beep, and the rest of dear Mother
Goose's big family. The date for the
organized search is Tuesday evening,
December %, at five-thirty $500
sharp, at the Caledonia school house.
Santa Claus will take the serach-
party in his sleigh. Admission 25
cents, and Is cents.
All present will have an opportunity
of seeing, too, the Honest Shoemaker,
and the sprightly little elves who
changed all the fortune of his and
his wife, Mary's, lives from sad to
glad. One price for both plays.
Everybody come. Tickets on sale at
the postoffiee and at the drug store
Saturday, December 20, and Monday,
December %.
The merchants of Caledonia have
their stores decorated and filled with
all the latest holiday goods and
everything has the appearance of a
merry Christmas and our merchants
are looking for a good trade. Money
is plentiful. Sugar is high. However,
Christmas don't come but once a year
and all hands and the cook are pre-
pairing for jolly good time Christ
masand a happy New Year.
We find large number of our boys
and girls drifting to the cities. We
are inclined to the opinion that the
"boys and girls on the farm" would
not be in such haste to abandon the
life on the farm for other occupations
if an effort were made on the part
of the parents to make home and
farm life more attractive instead of
complaining constantly, or too many

miner OF Dortmund, Germany Josef
Ritter by name, has Just been sentenc
ed 10 death six times, Tor as many

hanged him to a door knob.
Then he killed the boys mother
