Santa Claus is Coming, to Gardiner

The Journal is in receipt of a letter
from Santa Claus which states that
verifying is now o. K. as he has re-
ceived an invitation from the Gardiner
Merchants Association, and he Is thus
assured of a most hearty welcome
when he arrives in our city. You
don't know how much better Santa
felt when he got that letter from the
Gardiner merchants saying that they
really wanted him; all he needed was
that invitation: he leaves the North
Pole tonight and hopes to arrive In
Gardiner sometime next week. OF
course a great deal depends upon the
travelling; he says he has great
many surprises that are even better
than those of last year. and wants
each boy within a radius of 20 miles
to be on hand when he. arrives. The
Journal will keep in touch with him
by radio, and will publish a letter
each morning until he arrives telling
just what he is doing, and how he Is
getting along, so watch this space
each morning.

dear Rheims folk with a hint that
French wine is harmful--and, besides,
it would be most untruthfuI, since a

white earth with which soldiers who
lived covered their heaps of soldiers
who had died-there will come to you,
somehow, the spiritual something you
have seen on the faces in Rheims. and
a realization that this tragic pile
meant the death of youth in its splen-
did manhood, because of mistaken
sense of right. And while you think
these things, the bells of the cathedral
chime out, and because, doubtless. of
your own association, the faint sound
that comes to this far-of mound
seems to voice benediction.

Says:
BY CYNTHIA GREY

There used to be lots of scnt-
mental writing about the broken
heart.
Poets and novcliSts would romp
on the heartstringS while they paint
ed touching word pictures of the
beautiful and fragile lady who let
one disappointment in love form the
period that ended her life.
There was something very wistful
and pathetic about it all, and it be-
spoke IA consistency and devotion thai:
shamed the rest of the world who
could take its disappointments more
nationally.
Today, we don't hear so much
about broken hearts. Not because
hearts don't break. They do. But
because we have found out that the
really heroic person goes right on
and functions in spite of a broke n
heart. And often functions better.
Probably the most constructive
work that has been done in the way
of art and service to others has been
done by persons who had some great
disappointment, some heart breaking
experience.
Love is very exalting emotion
but it is also selfish one, and a
self satisfying one.
Ask any woman what she wants
more than anything in the world
and she will answer. if she answers
truthfully. Give me love-"
But if she does not get love, or if
it is snatched from her, the strong
type of woman says to herself, eff
