Santa Claus Not Such a Myth
,..afs.-@N In Alaska ets

Washington, Dec. 26.-Old Saint
Nick, with his packed sled and har-
messed reindeer, prancing over the
country with jingling bells, and dig
ging his way through piled snow
drifts, is not so mythical after all
for he really does appear to many
people just that way.
II is in Alaska, where Uncle Sans
mails are delivered in winter by fur
clad carriers riding in reindeer drawn
sleds to the tune of merry chimes.
Far-away places in Alaska get few
deliveries of mail, but the schedule is
Eearly always arranged so that each
pioneer camD in out-of-the way places
where the deep snow prevent much
intercourse with the outer world gets
its Christmas mail near the HOLIDAYS.
The Postoffice Department sends
out $4,000 first assistants to old San
ia Clrus, and although they don't
wear his livery of red and fur and
natty black boots, their gray uni
forms are just as welcome along 20
ward The last days of December.
Every day is Christmas for the postal
workers the month before December
25. 1t is hectic season with them
to get the untold quantities of mail to
those for whom they are intended.
But they do their work with will
and smile, say Department officials,
who ask your help in their work by
making. it seasy for them to deliver
all the gifts by Christmas Day.

RETAIN ELECTORS IN
EACH TOWNSHIP

In the petitions that have been cir
culated by me asking our Represen-
atives to make a change in our pres
ent road law, | neglected, or rather
omitted, to state that it would be ne
cessary to have representative from
each township similar to that now in
operation. Nor do | see why the
County Commissioners, should the
change be made, should not reappoint
or continue in office the present elec-
torate from each township as | con-
slider each of them good men.
At present the County Commission
ers meet the first Monday in each
month for the transaction of bust
ness, and occasionally they hold over
for a two-days session. | think the
Road Electorate or County Supervis-
or should meet with the County Com
missioners on, say, the first Wednes-
DAY of each month, and from among
them can be selected secretary to
this board who could also keep the
books which would not require ex-
ceeding one or two days out of each
month. All such details can be
threshed out by our Representatives
and Incorporated in a bill.

New Arrangement Is Big
Stroke For Local Institution
.dAKING NO FIGHT
ON CHAIRMAN McRAE

| want to say to the taxpayers of
Union County, that il is not my in
tention to make fight oISMr. J. D.
McRae personally but to reduce the
burdens Of the taxpayers by cutting
out needless offices and the pay that
is now being paid for the services that
are not necessary on account OF not
having funds to continue the build
ing of roads. The funds are practical
ly exhausted from the million dollar
bond issue and that there is no hope
that a further bond issue can be had
anyway soon in the county on account
of the financial condition of the peo-
pie and the burdens of our present
taxes.
Any one who says that | am max
ing the effort to change the present
system of operating the roads and re-
ducing the burdens Of taxation on the
people of the county is for my own
aggrandisement, is a liar and with
out any foundation.
| made the promise to my friends
more than a year ago that | would
make an effort to reduce the burdens
Of taxation on the people and that
| intend to make an effort in the fu-
ture to do so in spite of all the Jim
Prices and others to the contrary.
All the talk about the chang
irg Of officers from Clerk of
Superior Court to Sheriff from Sher-
iff to Clerk of the Superior court,
and Register of Deeds to Superinten-
dent of schools and vice versa, is all
tommy rot" and far from the ques-
ton at issue and only begging the
question and is a reflection on the
good people of the County. Mr.. Price
in his article in The Journal says that
| have "raised more hell in a short
time than has ever been raised by
any one in the county" and in this
connection | desire to say for Mr.
Prices benefit that he has on two OF
more occasions raised a lot of hell in
the county clammering for office with
defeat in them for himself and if !
am defeated in my effort to reduce
the expenses of the taxpayers of the
people by abolishing needless offices
that | will still be very much behind
him in raising hell.

through a delegation which called at
his S, street home, that the success
of their movement was assured.
At the same time, the senate
adopted a resolution offered by Sen
ator Harris, democrat, Georgia, ex-
pressing pleasure and joy" at his
recovery toward health. The reso-
luton was put through quickly with
a chorus of ayes from the demo-
cratic side of the chamber. many
of the republican senators, engross-
ed in other matters. apparently pay
ing no attention to its purport.
Senator Harris in presenting the
resolution soon after the Senate con-
vened pointed out that today was the
66th birthday Of the former presi-
dent. spoke of the many kilograms
of congratulation and felicitation
pouring in at the Wilson home here,
and said it seemed proper and fitting
that the senate add its tribute.
Unanimous consent for immediate
consideration OF the resolution was
asked by Senator Harris and no OBJ
lection being offered the resolution
was passed before some senator's
who had been engrossed few min
utes before in listening to President
Harding's letter to Senator Lodge.
of Massachusetts,, on the Borah
world economic conference proposal
realized what 1t was all about.
The text Of the resolution follows:
Whereas, the senate has heard
with great pleasure the announce
ment of the rapid recovery to good
health of former President. Honor
able Woodrow Wilson, be 1t.
Resolved, that the vice president
be requested to convey to the Hon.
orable Woodrow Wilson the pleasure
and joy of the senate OF the United
States because of his rapid recovery
to good health"
The former president spent his
birthday quietly. For an hour or
more a group Of men and women
stood In the rain IN front OF his
home hoping that he might appear
to greet them. but all they saw Of
the wartime President was a
glimpse of him as he drove off in
his limousine late In the day for
his daily ride.
During the day messages of felicl-
tation came to Mr.. Wilson from all
parts OF the world. A few close
friends called to extend greetings.

Third Christmas Dinner of the

The Pigg family held their third
Christmas dinner at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. H. W. Pigg, near Brief, on
December 25th. 1t is held every year
in honor of Mr.. and Mrs. Pigg.
There were born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Pigg seven children, three boys and
our girls. The children are all liv-
ing but one, who died fifteen years
ago of cancer.
The only exercise Of the day was
a Christmas tree Each of their chill
dren and grandchildren presented to
Mr.. and Mrs. Pigg a present after a
a picnic dinner was served.
On Christmas every sane human
being who has been taught the
Christian faith turns bitterly or
contentedly, sorrowfully or happily,
toward thought of the great birth
day. The thrill of its beauty return
to them. Some memory of childhood
association with it will touch them;
some desire to pass it on to their
own children urges them. The day
will never be when any of the family
now living will see again such
Christmas day as the one which coils
ed Monday when the dying sun sank
behind the western hills, gave a raise
on the sky purple and yellow. A win
ter day, it was shot to the heart with
sunshine.

THREE MEN EATEN
BY TIMBER WOLVES

Per. Arthur, Ont, Dec. PA
great rowing band of hungry timber
wolves has devoured three men, ac-
cordng to meagre reports sitting in
today froia the snow covered trails
of the Sturgeon river country. These
reports .o,d oil losing battle fought
by two Indians after white trapper
had been downed and killed.
Last SATURDAY an elderly trapper
left his cabin in the woods 70 miles
north Of Ignace to mush down to
the settlement for his Christmas
mail He arrived in safety. There
was no mail, however. and the old
man said he would come back
Christmas morning. At noon he had
not arrived. The postmaster sent
two Indians to follow the trail until
they found him.
About two niles from the settle
ment the Indians found spot
pounded down in the snow and GRIM
son hued. Bits of dog harness torn
to shreds were scattered about. In
the midst Of them the Indians found
human bones. They hastened back
to report the discovery.
The lure Of the bounty on wolves,
however, urged the Indians to take
the trail again with extra ammuni-
tion. They sped behind their dog
team into the woods as the villagers
waved goodbye. They did not return.
Yesterday new searching party
departed. They found another patch
trodden in the snow about two miles
beyond the first.
The two guns the Indians =
carried were lying there and scatter.
ed about were bones, bits of cloth
ing ard crapiy shells,
Tie carcasses of 16 dead wolves
lay stretched in a circle about the
tramp'ed patch CT snow.
