he cannot see them as they open their
stockings because he is not back home
in time to see all of that and he would
rather be busy up to the last moment
than see what happens every minute.
But when he does get back home he
likes to see the children and their
smiles, doesn't he, Boy Of the NorthY"
Boy of the North wagged his tail
and looked at Santa out OF his great
eyes
Eyes, Boy of the North, your old
master must see his children smile!'
And Boy of the North wagged his
tail again to let Santa Claus know
that he understood.
Boy of the North had sat by Santa
Claus when he had worked during the
days and nights before Christmas and
when he had been getting ready Tor
Christmas long before the Christmas
season, too.
He had mapped while Santa had
worked and he had put his nose in
Santa's lap when Santa grew tired and
! when Boy of the North knew he want
ed his dogs love
Boy of the North was so glad Santa
was back again and that Santa would
rest for a little while and he would see
Santa growing younger and younger,
or rather so much younger each year
that he never grew any older.
| 1t all happened in this way: First OF
| r.
from his Christmas travelings he got
out his magic telescope and looked
| through it. He saw into rooms in the
houses and he only looked into rooms
where there were children.
He knew where there were children,
too, for hadn't he visited every one OF
them?
And he always told Boy of the North
just what he was seeing and Boy OF
the North sat by Santas side and
wagged his tail at the right time and
gave little barks Of joy at the right
time, too.
.Ah. Boy of the North" said Santa.
"there is Annette DO you know An
nette? You've heard me speak of her.
She has golden hair, you know; such
lovely golden hair, and her voice is
Just like music!
"She is smiling over my presents.
Oh. Boy of the North, that does make
me happy!
"And there is Lucy! She has soft,
golden curls, and she is screaming with
delight over my presents!

dark and it is cut off quite short, ana

was thought that he was improved,
but he gradually grew worse until the
end came Mr.. Edwards was born in
Shellman forty-two years ago, moving
here in 1911. Big hearted, affable and
generous he soon made many friends
with both young and old. He never
knew what it meant to desert friend
and did not count the cost when his
help was needed. Funeral services
were held yesterday afternoon at 8
O'Clock, conducted by Rev. M. L. Law
son, pastor of the Baptist church OF
this place, and interment was made in
the cemetery here. He leaves a wife

thirds of the cost being borne by
members of the Dawson Methodist
church. The parsonage was dedicat-
ed to the memory of the late Mr..
N. w. Dozier, and as the n w. Do

tribute to the revered memory of
this beloved citizen of Dawson, whose
sanity life and untiring efforts for
the cause of the Methodist church
gave him recognition as one Of the
foremost laymen of that denomina-

1t is believed that with the expendi-

the parsonage can be improved and
repaired and made one of the most
desirable homes in this section.

recent district conference the Ameri-

resolution passed providing that the
presiding elder should appoint COM

from each charge in the district to
determine the question. Judge Laing
was named as chairman of this COM

The district parsonage has always
been located in Dawson. The ques-

many years ago by an impartial com

the claims of all towns in the district
which desired it, that Dawson was the
proper and logical location for it.

Public Opinion From city off
ciais to housewives, from bank presi-
dents to labor leaders, Grand Rapids
people back up pretty soidly in
favor OF strict enforcement of Prohi-
bition. Witnesses almost invariably
said that the two most noticeable
effects of Prohibition were the
change it had brought in family life
and the fact that the younger gen
Grafton was growing up without "a
taste for alcohol"
While the report on results of Pro
hibiton i'll Grand Rapids contains
nothing particularly new it is never
theless valuable as a comprehensive
and authoritative survey of condi-
tions. Such reports are valuable be-
cause even in America many people
are inclined to overlook the wonder
full advantages actually resulting
from Prohibition and eagerly accept
as truth the fancied objections pub
lished broadcast by liquor propagan-
dists Commenting on the facts re-
ported in the Survey the Lincoln
Journal says, "They should be told
lest we forget there is still steady
pressure to get liquor back. That
pressure will be unavailing wherever
people remember what it means to
get back to liquor"
