Claus coming through the Gazette is
on the increase and there is every in
dication, from the tone of the letters
being received, that the little ones
ar making great preparations for
the arrival of this distinguished old
gentlemen. The Titles ones realize
that Santa Claus has only thirteen
more shopping days after today and
they don't want to take any chances
on the articles they want being dis
posed of before Santa can make his
purchases. One letter received
would have been published in today's
issue, but the Santa Claus editor was
unable to decipher the name. If the
writer will call the letter will be
published in the next issue.
