 TO SANTA CLAUS

Santa Claus received many let ters at Hellan's Drug Store last week in response to a contes. held to find the best Christmas letter writer among the children. Santa was somewhat puzzled hs to which letter would be the most suitable for Hellan's store. as there were many from both boys and girls that were very good in deed.
 It was finally decided that the letter to win the prize, box of child's stationery, is the one writ Nh by Thurman Chichester, age '. and this letter is now being shown in the window at Hellan $ store.
