There Is a Santa Claus
By HANS RASMUSSEN

1t was Christmas Eve 81 years
ago. Chris and l worked in
factory 40 miles from st. Louis.
We had decided to spend Christmas
with the boys in the big city.
While others were dancing a.
round the Christmas tree, Chris
and I were sitting in a little juno
ton station waiting for the de-
layed little dinky train to come
along and pick us up. It was after
midnight before We were turned
loose in the city, but time enough
to locate the boys and celebrate the
birth of the Savior Of mankind"
1t was five in the morning when
Chris and l went to roost in a
cheap hotel, a place where modern
contraptions such as electric lights
had not yet found it's way. Old
gas jets still decorated the walls.
Chris was the last one to roll
in. Although there was no extra
charge for burning light while
asleep, Chris did not believe in
such extravagances. Before laying
his tired bones to rest, he blew
out the light.
1t was seven o'clock on Christ
mas morning when Santa Claus
knocked on our door. He didn't
look much like Santa Claus; he
had no whiskers. He looked more
like a janitor, but it was Santa
Claus just the same. And old Santa
Claus has a good smeller; he car
smell gas.
Whether our headaches were
from the Tom and Jerry or from
the gas we never knew, but had i
not been for Santa Claus we would
never have known we had a head
ache.
Don't tell Chris and me tina
there is no Santa Claus, becaus'
we know better.

hope we shall receive in this year
10 klgr. of corn for every work

Our only trouble is the shortage
of hands. The harvest is so heavy
this year that we have to work in
full swing. In order to save the
corn, all old men take part in the
work. We work with such enthus-
iasm that everybody says, eve

The norm of production fixed
by the government our colkhos will
finish up at the right time. Out
of our harvest taken from 400 rec
tares we give up to the govern

prices. This plan is not heavy fol

IN MINI. FERA Is
FORCED TO PAY

GRAND RAPIDS, Minn.-Farm-

ministration.
Under the regulations establish
ed, patients on relief may call on
any physician in the county after
having received a written order
from the relief office. Doctors are
authorized to call at the homes Of
patients whenever necessary. Ir
emergency situations, telephone au'
thorization from the relief office
is sufficient but must be followed
up by a written order.
Physicians and nurses receive
payment for their services aftel
submitting monthly statements t.
the county relief authorities. Pay
ment is being made out of relic
funds. One-fourth is provided b!
the county. Prescription of nee
essary drugs may be filled at wha
is called reasonable prices"
In Sheridan county, the farmer
led by the United Farmers Leagu
for long time raised the demant
of free medical and dental care fo
all people on relief. Demonstra
tions have been carried through
and through mass pressure tn
county commissioners have bee
forced to act in a number of EN-

OLD CLOTHING and

FERA Keeps 80 Women
Busy Patching Up Old
Garments, Toys

WIELISTON, Nd, Dec. 10
Under supervision of the Ameri-
can Legion, Boy Scouts are gath
ering old toys and used clothing
and the FERA has established a
sewing room where 80 women are
kept busy to patch up ard make
over clothing that is mot too far
gone. Garments which are too
worn out and cannot possibly be
made over are being transformed
into rag dolls. Nothing is wasted
Toys and made over and
patched up clothing are to be
handed out to children and famil-
les on relief as Christmas pres.
ents.
1t is quite characteristic that II
this country where. there are "sur
pluses" of toys and clothing anC
all other things, where cotton is
plowed under because there is "toC
much, it is characteristic that il
