,,arty two blocks away and made them
think Of Mr. Foisom's mill boss and
Mrs. Folsom's laundry woman. They
had been wishing for some new fun
for their party that day and now II
came into their heads to go over and
be Santa for the Tanners. SO the tree
drew very silent hut very busy COIN
pany TO the Tanners back door.
AS the children had left directions
for Santa on the table 1t was easy to
find out what the tree was expected to
do, so. presently, 1t did 1t. There was
more, too, than orders for the wanted
things; the merrymakers had brought
with them enough to satisfy any rea
sonable tree; there were picture books

picture puzzles, games. a scissors
grinder that could make the sparks
fly, a train of cars that could go, doll
that could say ''mama," and candy
enough to 90 round. For Father and
Mother Tanner there was pOcketbOok
with gold In. it, and note of good
cheer that was better than the gold.
So the wonderful tree spent the rest
Of the night In trembling joy. It could
not sleep for thinking of the friendly
love that had provided such a happy
morning to come. And when the first
Of the morning light brought all the
Tanners downstairs the tree fairly
shook with pleasure, amid the wonder
and the glee of that Christmas day.
Az for the servants Of Santa Claus,
they had never had such a merry
Christmas before. Their hearts were
so warm that they did not mind the
frost. They sang over the pleasure of
giving pleasure and relief. They said
they knew that Santa Claus had to live
up North so that he could cool off after
his warm interest in the happiness Of
others. They addressed him in verses
that must have made him jollier than
ever, calling him:
THE MAGIC MAN
There is a man who lives up north
All clad in robes and furs.
And every year he sallies forth
As love his going spurs
He mitigates the winkSr's cold
That otherwise woulGi freeze,
And keeps himself from growing old
BY tending Christmas trnes
The children for this coming wait.
So do the old folks, too
Unhappiness goes out the gate
When Santa comes to you
And their own presents never seemed
so large and good before.

BUREAU PLAY
IN ALED0 is
BIG SUCCESS
Keithsburg Cast Gives Splendid
Presentation of "0ccupatiOn
NOne7 Here.
Especial to The Argus

AIedo. March 29.-Showing before
a good attendance last night at the
First Methodist church a cast of
Keithsburg people presented the
play, Occupation None" scoring a
huge success.
The play was given under au-
spices of the Mercer County Home
bureau and as the roads in the
community are nearly impossible
for cars the attendance consisted
mainly of local residents. The
showing in Aledo was the fourth
presentation of the play and the
cast are to be highly commended
for their excellent work.
A male quarrel, also composed OF
Keithsburg talent. deserve special
mention for several comic numbers.
The main role, carried by Mrs. A p.
Cannon, who took the part OF the
mother and wife, was exceptionally
well given. Miss Lucy Hartman
starred with the audience in the
part of the youngest daughter. AS
the f1apper daughter, Miss Cleo
Wakeland interpreted the part very
successfully. The play was humor-
GUS throughout but this did not in
any way lessen the purpose of the
show in its excellent portrayal of
the housewife and her work.
The cast included about thirty
Keithsburg people, who were drill
ed under the direction of Mrs Flor
ence Mcconnell of Champaign, au-
thor of the play. The play was
previously presented in Seaton, New
Boston and in Keithsburg twice,
and in all showings met with sue
cess. The money realized from the
shows will be spent on home bu-
reau projects. Miss Mary Helen
Schouten, adviser, is we'll pleased
with the results obtained and feels
that the time spent in producing
the show was most worthwhile.

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruf

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff complete
ly and that is to dissolve it. This
destroys it entirely. To do this.
just get about four ounces of plain,
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications
will completely dissolve and en-
tire1y destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff you may have
You VIII find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
instantly, and your hair will be
fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and
soft, and look and feel a hundred
times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need.
This simple remedy has never been
known to fail.-(Adv.)

Florence Mcconnell, author of the

Miss Fanchon Camel, vocal instruc-
tor, was also passenger.
After travelling seven of the long
miles that stretch in a muddy line
I between the cities, the coupe mired
in a sink hole and came to an
abrupt halt. 1t was decided that
the author should do the pushing
while the adviser operated the
pedals. AS a pen-pusher, Mrs. Con-

different. Their efforts proved fruit
les and when the author stepped
back into the car, to her dismay,
she found one of her slippers miss
I ing. A diligent search resulted, but
the lost article of footwear was not
to be found. Disguised at this, Mrs.
Cornell threw her one slipper into

No hopes of getting the car free
of the hole, resulted in an S. o. S.

by Irwin Cameron was soon on the
way to the Inflated scene Upon
arrival there Mr.. Camerons car fol-
lowed in the manner of the first

the top part was visible on the
landscape.
A consultation was then called
and after discussing their position
from every phase and angle it was
voted that as Mrs. Mcconnell could
not walk without footwear, and
whereas it was only two miles to

pointed a committee of one to walk

This was done and the party reach !
