NIHEN the evening shadows gather
w and the time is eight o'clock
You can hear. If you will listen, Mr.
Sand Mans gentle knock.
Then you'd better hustle nvely--time your
evening prayers were said
And each boy and girl well tucked In
,hrir coy. downy little bed
For when Mr.. Sand Mans knocking
sounds the signal, you may know
Santa Claus is closely watching from his
palace built of snow.
And the children that are naughty and
don't MIND their mas and pas
Get their names down in the Bad Book"
that is kept by Santa Claus.
Boys who never split the kindIing. and
the girls who always cry
When they're asked to wa sh the dishes
Santa Claus has got his eye
On such boys and girls, and watches with
sad and sorIy look
AS he writes each name In sorrow on the
pages of his book.
And the giri who never hurries, but let's
mamma do the work,
And the boy who's always scheming all

They may think no one pays notice when
they don help mas and pas
But their names are on the bad Book"
thai is kept by Santa Claus.
But old santa keeps Good Booklets
the bestest book of all,
Where he writes the names Of children
who are prompt at duty's call.
And the boys who split the kindling and
the girls who never shirk
But rise early In the morning and help
mamma with the work;
And the boys who never grumble when
there's work for them to do,
And the girls who help their mainmas
till the homework Is all through
Oh, they needn't ever worry when it's
Christmas time, because
All their names are in the Good Book"
that is kept by Santa Claus.
Is your name down in the bad 5ookf'
Well. there is still a chance for you.
And If you will listen to me. / will tell

6 LOCAL POLICEMEN
FULFILL PROVISIONS
OF PENSION STATUTE

Six members of the Richmond police
force Henry Westenberg, Grovelle
Bundy, Henry Vogelsong, Edward Nc
Nally, George Staubach and Herman
Wierhake come under the provisions
of the state law providing a pension
for members of the force who have
served 20 years or more.
Thus far steps in connection with
the machinery of the new law have
been delayed in Richmond.
A pension of $40 month is allowed
members who have served 20 years.
and 81 per month is allowed for each
additional years service. George Stau-
bach, present desk sergeant, is the
oldest in point of service on the 10
cal force. He has served 20 years.
Service as special, private or mer-
chant police is not included in corN-
putting the time of service. The OFFICER
in applying for pension is expected
to make written request for retire
ment. Pensions are granted in all
cases save those where an OFFICER Is
convicted of a felony.
Derivation Of Fund.
The police pension fund is derived
from a number of sources. Chlet
among these are assessments on the
salaries of members of the force
which amounts to from one TO one and
one-half per cent. This sum can not
however, exceed SIS per year.
A special tax of two tenths OF
mill is levied on each dollars worth Of
city property and the proceeds of this
| tax also go into the fund.
Temporary benefits for disabled o.
ficers also is provided in the law
The police pension fund may be In
creased by proceeds from the sale OF
property at auction, or contributions
from individuals.
A board of trustees to care for the
fund will be elected on the SECOND
Monday in February. when an electicr
will be provided by law.

in terror, leaving the keyhole to the
flag and even more congenial frost"
This is one of the earliest of the
English carols, dating back at least
to the seventeenth century. In quaint
verses it rehearses the New Tesla
ment story of the birth of Jesus. 1t
is song of joy and glad tidings, even
though it is decidedly minor in it's
tonality. But here, as in many other
cases. the minor does not give feel
ing of sadness. but rather produces the
effect of quaintness, of an old-time
flavor. The vigorous marching rhythm
also dissipates any suggestion of sor-
row, and rather sets the heart and
feet Astounding in regular cadence.
No wonder it has been sung by out
of-doors carolers for centuries.
God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen"
God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day,
To save us all from Satan's pow'r
When We were gone astray.

many cases advances authorized by the
corporation have not been consumated
because the applicants, strengthened
by the assurance of aid from the cor
poration, have been able to obtain in
other ways the credit facilities they
required. In fact the experience Of
the corporation has been that where
ever it has lent or agreed to lend 4
dollar, 1t has produced confidence
to such an extent that others were
willing to advance many dollars.
The results already obtained indi-
cate clearly that the right method has
been adopted. Although much remains
to be done, the activities of the corpo-
ration to date have had an appreciable
influence in fastening the return to
normal conditions in the marketing OF

And you realize that something

when you think over all these an

you didn't start your shopping
about June first
But that valuable thought for
next year doesn't help a bit now,
