It U an unfortunate fact that Mr. Ford is not alone in this opinion. Men and women the nation over, and even our sometimes smart-alecky youngsters, pride themselves on be- ing practical enough and mtelligcnt * enough and .sensible engugh to know ■ that there is no Santa Claus. But they are all wrong — dead wrong. There is a Santa Claus; there Aways has been a Santa Glaus; and. if it’ please O'd, let us hope that there always will be a Santa Claus. CARD OF THANKS Mr. F. M. Boland and family and^ Mrs. .A. J. Sproles wish to express their sincere gratitude for Jhe many acts of loving kindness which were shown to Mrs. Boland during her ill ness of more than three years. These friendly deeds were the means of lightening her burden of care and pain, and of brightening many weary days of suffering. Tho many lovely floral offerings and other expressions of love and sympathy are deeply appreciated by those who mourn the loss of this child of God.
