fairies! You might get your
papa to hire to watch in all the
chimneys on Christmas eve to
catch Santa Claus, but even if
they did not see Santa Claus
coming down, what would that
prove? Nobody sees Santa
Claus but that is no sign that
there is no Santa Claus. The
most real things in the world are
those that neither children nor
men can see. Did you ever see
fairies dancing on the lawn? Of
course not, but that's no proof
that they are not there. No
body can conceive or imagine all
the wonders there are unseen
and unseeable in the world.
"You tear apart the baby's
rattle and see what makes the
noise inside, but there is a veil
covering the unseen world which
not the strongest men that ever
lived could tear apart. Only
faith, fancy, poetry, love, ro-
nance, can push aside that cur
tain and view and picture the
supernal beauty and glory be-
yond. Is it all real? All, Vir-
ginia, in all this world there is
nothing else real and abiding.
"No Santa Claus! Thank God
he lives and he lives forever. A
thousand years from now. Vir-
ginia, nay, ten times ten thou
sand years from now, he will
continue to make glad the heart
of childhood"

Virginia, your little friends
are wrong. They have been af-
fected by the skepticism of
skeptical age. They do not be-
lieve except they see. They
think that nothing can be which
is not comprehensive by their
little minds. All minds, Vir-
ginia, whether they be mems or
children's, are little. In this
great universe of ours man is
mere insect, an ant, in his in
tellect, as compared with the
boundless world about him, as
measured by the intelligence ca
pable of grasping the whole of
truth and knowledge.
Eyes, Virginia, there is
Santa Claus. He exists as GER
tainly as love and generosity
and devotion exist, and you
know that they abound and give
to your life it's highest beauty
and joy. Alas, how dreary
would be the world if there
were no Santa Claus! 1t would
be as dreary as if there were
no Virginias. There would be
no childlike faith then, no poet
ry, no romance, to make toler-
able this existence. We should
have no enjoyment except in
sense and sight. The eternal
light with which childhood fills
the world would be extinguish-
ed.
"Not believe in Santa Claus!
You might as we'll not believe in

IS THERE A SANTA CLAUS

Thirty ago little girl named Virginia

Some of my little friends say there S Santa
Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?"

brilliant Frank Church, of the editors "The Sum-" 1t

BECK TO HAVE OPPOSITION

Following the refusal of Editor Mer-
lin Hull of Black River Falls to enter
the race for Congress against our Con-
gresham j. d. Beck, Superintendent
of Schools Kingsland of Baraboo has
been selected to lead the "forlorn
hope" Brother Hull is the highest
type of man and gentleman, and might
have had chance, but the man select
ed is unknown to the Censor and most
everybody else in this neck of the
woods for that matter. In our opin-
ion he has about the same chance of
winning a seat in Congress as the pro-
verbal SNOWFALL in hades. Neighbor
Beck's record on agricultural matters
in Congress fully satisfies 80 per cent
of his constituency in Vernon county,
and we see no reason why he should be
denied the customary second term.
While some may not fully agree with
all of Beck's views yet we thinks it is
much better that Vernon county should
have the honor of having a represen-
tative in Congress that to accord this
distinction to total stranger in a far
away corner of the district.

LIzzIES In GREAT DEMAND

Fordman L. L. Baptie tells the Cen
sor that this is the first July since
Henry Ford commenced building Liz
zies that the dealers have no surplus
cars on hand. AS the summer goes
on, the demand for Fords shows an
increase in place of the usual mids
summer decrease, and this condition
is general throughout the country,
an indication that general$condition
in our nation are working back to
normal. after the bad depression.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET

EdgerGon, Wis, July z, 1922.
Showers which have fallen here and
there throughout the tobacco section,
have materially helped the develop

CURED. Notwithstanding this lack of
moisture the fields of tobacco are
showing up remarkably well. There
is need, however, of good soaking

Some grades of the 1920 crop are

Ohio, has picked up 3000cs the past
week. This was secured from several
