what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but tha'
is no sign that there is no Santa Claus.
The most real things in the world are those that neither
children nor man can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing
on the lawn? OF course not, but that's no proof that tney
are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the Won
ders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.
You tear apart the babys rattle and see what MAKES
the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen WorIo
which not the strongest man, or even the united strength OF
all the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart. Only
faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance can push aside tnat cur
Tain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory be
yond. Is 1t all real? All, Virginia, in all this world there Is
aothing else real and abiding.
No Santa Claus! Thank God he lives, and ne lVes 1ol,,
aver. A thousand years from now, nay ten times ten thousahe
years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart OIL

Is There A Sontu Claus?

PRINTED below is the answer to a little girls letter, Lit,
tie Virginia O'Hanlon, eight years of age and perplexed
by this question, put it up to the editor of the New York
Sun in 1897. This editorial classic from the pen OF
Frances T. Church answered the question for all time
Yes, Virginia, there is q Santa Claus. He exists as GER
tainly IS love and generosity and devotion exist, and you
know that they abound and give to your life its highest beau
ty and Joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there
were no Santa Claus! 1t would be as dreary as if there were
no Virginias.
There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no
romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have
no enjoyment, except in sense and sight.
The eternal light with which childhood fills the world
would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus You might as well not be-
Iieve in fairiesi You might get your papa to hire men to
watch all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa
Claus, but if even they did not see Santa Claus coming down,

Treat Cuttle For Cuttle Grub:

Treat Cattle For Cottle Grub:
This is the time of year you
begin to notice knots or swollen
places on cattle's backs. These
are grubs just under the skin of
the cattle. They do considerable
damage and should be controlled
where possible. The grubs are
easily killed by busting the backs
of cattle with a derris dust con-
tanning at least n and one
fourth rotenone. You may put
your dust on by sprinkling out
of a fruit jar with holes punched
in the top being sure to ruffle
the hair so hat the dust may
sift down on the skin One treat
ment now and another in 20 to
Is days will kill practically all
grubs in cattle's back. This should
be done as soon as possible. There
is a material on market called
cattle grub control. This is the
material that should be used.
This same material will also kill
lice on cattle, but it is necessary
to dust cattle with a little garden
buster so that you will cover the
entire cow rather than just her
back.

Woman Is Fined
$3.50 in Row Over
Hamburger Gravy

An argument over how much
gravy should go on hamburger ended
up with $3.50 fine or a 150-day
Jail sentence in Municipal Court
yesterday for Miss Marion Barnes,
80, of SIT Virginia avenue S.W.
When one hamburger came back
four times for more gravy and once
for bigger plate nothing happened,
according to George Christian,
owner of a restaurant In the 800
block of Florida avenue NV. How
ever, when the same process was
repeated on the next hamburger,
Mrs. Christian, who was standing
nearby, demonstrated.
There were words, Mr.. Christian
said, and soon Mrs. Christian was
ducking dishes, cups and salt sellers.
Miss Barnes was escorted to the
door. Soon thereafter two whisky
bottles (both empty few in through
the closed window and shattered IN
Mr.. Christians steam table. All the
remaining hamburgers and gravy
went into the trash can, while MIR.
Christian called the police.
Yesterday, Miss Barnes, who Is
colored, denied throwing the bottles.
She was found guilty of destroying
private property and being drunk
and disorderly.
