Show SITS GLAUS (S 1 IEED OF HELP Editor Standard: You know old Santa Claus has had an office in Ogden Og-den for a good many years and while it is mighty bard to find, yet one of our reporters sneaked in on him down on Curiosity avenue this morning and found him reading some letters that he had just received. One of tho letters came from a little tot in California and one from Colorado. Ho had lota of letters from some of the poor little boys and girls in Ogden and he let us read some of them. . Ono little girl thanked him for what ho sent her last year and asked old Santa to bo sure and send something to the little children chil-dren in Belgium. Another says: "Dear Santa: If you havo anything left after you havo sent all the poor little children chil-dren in Belgium somethlng, I would like some candy." A little boys says: "My mamma is sick and we can't have - LLIH-V-.I j -i-Mri'-- ' --i - Hi. il pi ii i mn-1 j anything for Christmas unless you bring it." 1 A large number of llttlo girls asked 1 for stockings and they all ask for dolls. '. Old Santa told me that he buys books i and dolls by the dozens and dozens fif, and candy and nuts by the bushel, but j ( that sugar is so high this year that J f. ho will not be able to send out very I f' big boxes. He says if his friends do I not help him this year, he will surely 1 go broke. I asked him how many let- J 'tors he gets and he said usually about 1 1 one hundred and over. 1 1 nn- m I |
