SANTA CLAUS ON THE AIR
Someone has suggested that in
asmuch as Santa Claus has been
“on the air” so much this year, the
pleasant legend about the Old Man
of the Northland may not be be
lieved so readily by curious young
sters.
It does not seem possible that
Santa Claus’ voice coming in
through the loud speaker would
shatter the beautiful mind pic
ture children have of good-natur
ed Kris Kringle. Tney love him
for what he does, and not what
he says, and so long as he con
tinues to' perform in such liberal
fashion on the night of December
24, there is no danger of the myth
losing favor among them.
A little boy living here saw Santa
Claus at a store, shook hands with
him and heard him speak.
“Why his voice sounds just like it
did over the radio, daddy,” re
marked the youngster, speaking in
a tone as if he were trying to con
vince himself it was true.
Thus does childish imagination
work. In one evening’s sitting,
Santa Claus with as many differ
ent voices as there are stations
dialed, can be called into being.
The implicit faith that the little
ones have in him is not shaken by
such apparent incongruity.
Santa on the radio is not hard
to believe, though his voice may
vary. For these many years the
youngsters of every Christian land
have been believing that he did
impossible things—not impossible
to them—such as visiting every
home everywhere in one night,
traveling with the slow reindeer
and using tne chimney for en
trance.
So it is not strange that Santa
should be everywhere in the air.
Santa is like the Christmas spirit
—he is everywhere because the
childish mind knows he is—and
that is enough.

WORK NEVER KILLS
COMPLETE STOCKS
Christmas is a joyful event on
the year’s calendar. It is not time
for sadness or disappointment,
but it may be if you do not attend
to that all important matter of
Chrismas shopping a once. The
day can be made much more pleas
ant by buying deliberately.
Now stocks of Christmas mer
chandise are complete and selec
tions are large. But they will not
remain so very long. More shop
pers every year are profiting from
the mistakes of years gone by and
are buying early this year. They
know the folly of waiting until the
choicest gifts have been taken by
wise shoppers.
Don’t postpone another day the
preparation of your gift list. Write
down the names of everyone you
wish to remember at Christmas
and jot down what you think they
would like—or what you want to
give them. Then visit the stores
where you will find gift merchan
dise. Make this Christmas a joy
ful one.

Now and again it is related that
a man died from overwork. Science
says it can’t be done. Discussing
the reputed feat of Thomas A.
Edison in wasting only four hours
out of twenty-four in sleep, a phy
sician says that muscles set up a
toxic condition, . when fatigued,
which makes such a thing as death
from overwork impossible.
However true that may be, num
berless men think they are being
overworked, or are overworking
thepiselves. If the scientific man
is right this type of man just
thinks he’s overworked.
And if he believes he is working
too hard, it is because he has no
love for his job. Work is a blessing,
not a curse. Look about you for
the happy men, and you will find
them all busy men, engrossed in
their daily tasks, finding pleasure
in what they are doing.
Eating, drinking, dissipation, late
hours and the rush and lust of life
kill people, but seldom, if ever,
work.
Folks - who don’t exactly love
their job are better off working
than playing. Work keeps them out
of trouble, gives them regular lab
its and contributes to their
and happiness.

The girls’ basketball team added
another victory to its credit last
Wednesday afternoon by defeating
the McCormick sextet with a score
of 24-8. This game was played on
the home court and was enjoyed
by a goodly number of spectators.
The McCormick team put up a
brave fight and demonstrated
much ability in handling the ball,
but the Washington team proved
just a bit too strong to be con-
luered. For the visitors, McAllister,
guard and Langley, Elsie, jumping
center, were the outstanding stars,
out the entire team co-operated
,vith them in a beautiful way. As
.'or the Washington team, each
>layer did her duty in a most cred
ible manner; however, Edmunds,
forward, surely had her eye on the
oasket and scored twenty-two of
Ji; twenty-four points for her
..eam.
The line-up was as follows:
Washington McCormick

special stunts and two short plays.
The small but enthusiastic crowd,
enjoyed each number and much
credit should be given to these
folks who gave the program. Dur

Soups are off the bill-of-fare, in

Dumplings
Small white beans are best. The
beef should be in one large piece
with no giistle and little fat, and
should not be very salty. It is
well to have a little bone. Soak
beans for twelve hours and then
drain. Add beans, beef, and pork
(uncut) to water. Bring to the
boiling point. Remove scum as it
rises; simmer 3 or 4 hours. The
slow cooking blends the flavors:
At the end of this time add pota
toes, onion, and cayenne. Simmer
an hour longer. During the cook^

time to time so as to keep quan

the dumplings in the porridge.
