SANTA CLAUS is COMING,
SURE
Watch For HIM.

For many years now it has
been the habit of Santa Claus tc
drop around to the newspaper
Offices in the different towns
about a month before Christmas,
to learn about general conditions
in the community, so we were
not surprised when be popped in
the door one night this week,
looking as fat, fine and jolly as
ever, although it had been ru-
mored that he would not make
his regular visit this year.
"Hello, Santa" we said.
Someone told us that you would
not be here this year."
Someone is always starting a
story like that" he replied, "but
you see | am here. And | want
you to tell the children Of this
community that | have just
about the niftiest line of toys l
have ever made"
"How about your candy and
fruits" we asked.
Candy and fruits" said San
ia. "Oh, Boy, you just ought to
see my line. 1t would make your
mouth water"
And then Santa Claus in his
usual sly manner, began asking.
us embarrassing questions, some
Of which we managed to evade,
and many of which we were fore
ed to answer truthfully. You see
it is mighty difficult to tell Santa
Claus a story, especially when a
fellow remembers all the delici-
Gus fruit and candy and beauti-
full toys the jolly old man
brought when we were a little
boy.
Il hear" said Santa Claus,
"that there are a number of little
boys and girls who do not mind
their mothers very well. Is this
true?"
"Well," we told him, it is
very hard for us to believe that
there are any small boys and
girls in this community who do
not mind their parents"
''Do they all attend Sunday
school regularly?D
"Sure, Santa" we replied.
"You know all little boys and
girls attend Sunday school regu-
larly-especially just. before
Christmas"
''Is there any truth in the
story that some Of your boys and
girls have been telling the small
er ones that there is no such per-
son as Santa Claus?' he asked.
This was a hard question, be-
cause we feared some of the boys
and girls had been guilty Of this
very thing. "You see, it's this
way, Santa, we replied. Some
times a boy or girl might be gull
ty of telling the smaller ones
that there is no Santa Claus, but
we don't believe they intend to-
be mean about it. They don't
think how bad it is"
"Well. you may tell them for
me that if any boy or girl is gull
ty of this again, they certainly
will wake up Christmas morning
wth an empty stocking"
Before we could frame q safe
r1ply, Santa Claus vanished thru
the door. and although we heard
The crack of his whip, and the
merry tinkle of bells, before we
could reach the door, Santa and
his team had passed from view.

Crosshall, Tuesday evening Dec.
14th 1920 at 7:3O O'Clock to elect.
officers and any other business

necessary to decide whether the
organizations to continue active
Red Cross service to the return
ed Soldiers and others In the co.
immunity or whether this money
is to be sent to headquarters to
be used probably for the benefit
of other communities.
The question is can Roy afford
to discontinue Red Cross work
as a financial interest to the CO.
immunity at this time even If the
Red Cross Siprlt has wanea or
grown cold since the war is over.
1t is for you to decide whether.
we shall go on and grow in the
spirit of practical Christianity or
whether we shall stagnate or
retrograde and wait for some
great calamity to again wake
us up to a sense Of our obliga-
ton to humanity and our duty
10 ourselves.
Think seriously of this and
you will attend this meeting and
take part in the practical worth
