Show . .. . . . . , .. .. ...., ,. ., Lost Boy's Christmas Present Today's Herald carries a small classified, advertisement advertise-ment which reads as follows: Lost Boy's only gift, a football, Tuesday. Make him happy by returning same to 0. P. Skaggs Store, Springville. There is a touch of piahos in the thought that such a cherished gift to a boy should have slipped away from him on Christmas eve. Our sympathy is more deeply aroused in learning that the lad -to whom Santa Claus was carrying; this gift was a member of a family of nine ; that the parents made quite a sacrifice to buy this present, which not only would be enjoyed by the boy to whom it was to have gone, but also by his brothers broth-ers and their friends. We are fold that upon learning that his only gift, and one that he had longed for, had been lost, he cried throughout the night and the joy of Christmas was gone. If this present has fallen nto the hands of sorr.e honest person, there is little doubt but that the boy will get his present after all, but if some one devoid of conscience con-science has it, then the problem, of procuring it is more complex. Springville, we are told, has a good Boy Scout organization. or-ganization. And what an opportunity to do a good turn. 'We believe these boys can find this Christmas present of they set about to do it. It occurs to us to be a "good turn" worth while what do you think, boys? ,?Let's try. Let's make this boy happy, and we'll begin the New Year happier. If we ca.n help you, let us know how we'll do our part. You leaders, what about it, District Commissioner Commis-sioner ?
