Clinton, Nov, 27th, 1917.
To Santa Klaus:—
North Pole.
Dear Santa: --
Your letter of Nov, 19th, received
and in reply would say that your re --
quest to get up another big entertain-
ment before Xmas will be compiled
with.
I have seen the "pretty bunch of
High School Kids" who are pleased to
do all they can for the Big Show, also
Winn Shepppard who just now is
busy 'selling Victory Bonds but will
get out in his car every day after this
week and advertise .the 131g Show, He
says he will bet his last box of pen-
cils that he will have every Grand-
mother in town out for the afternoon
show ,and there will be the biggest
gathering of Grandmothers ever seen
in the Town 1 -tall. Free tickets will
be given to all the Kids in the Pub-
lic School for the Big Show of funny
Moving Pictures, but in the evening
everyone must buy a ticket to raise
money for the expenses of a free shote
to old folks down at the house of Re-
fuge and 'a donation to the Huron
County Children's Aid Society or any
Local Charity.
The expenses will be heavy this
year to make the show a "better than
ever show," so send me, enough
money to pay for the expenses.
Santa, some people here say that
you will not be here this year on ac-
count of Victory Bonds, the war and
etc., but don't disappoint the Kids; cut
out the old folks; we have got to have
you here. I am just as young as the
Kids and my stockings are going to
hang up just the sante, -
So hoping you will fill them again
this year and make Kids smile some.
Yours for the Kids.
Uncle Tom.

Perhaps you've forgotten that old story about modest Abou Den Adltem and the Angel. Abou wol:e up tad
saw the angel writing something. Abou, being a naturally curious old fellow, wanted t0 know what
the writing was. Finally, atter some talk as to who was the best man in L1s so parts, the angel told
Abou that he was writing the 'names of the best people on his scroll. Then he showed Abou the
scroll—"and lo,..Abou's name led all the rest!"
The :modern Abou Ben Adlrern is the Canadian farmer, the back -bone of. the country. When lair Canada
writes a list of those who did most for Canada by Iris purchase of Victory bonds, Ole Canadian
farmer's name will lead all the rest!
