Seems In Good Health, and Makes Prediction Tliat All Will Have a Merry Christinas.

Santa Claus invaded Terre Haute for ilie' first time far the Christmas sea^ sun Friday when he came in from the North Pole and was mot at the union station by Thomas Evans of the Rojt siore. Santa was placed on a big rnoVing van with his Christmas tree ind paraphernaLia and the march was i'tigun to the Root store behind the \Va"oash Remedy band playing "Kris Kringle" marches and "It Was the Night Before Christmas."

At the Root store about two thousand children had gathered to witness the arrival of old Santa and the merry n:tics of the old fellow kept the tots and the grown ups in an uproar for an hour.

Santa thts year reports that despite the war there have been plenty of importations of toys and other things that come with Christmas and in an interview with the Tribune he said that he thought that Christmas just as merry an occasion as it ever was. He eaid to the Tribune: "I understand that all the little folks in Terre Haute and hereabouts hav6 been pretty good children during the year just past, and I think I will have enough toys and goodies to go around. "The Tribune can tell the little people that they can mail In their letters to The Tribune and their orders will be filled all right, all right."

Frank Knadler, manager of the Root toy department, escorted Santa up to his dominion and he was Installed with due ceremony.

He said he did not drive his reindeer this year because "Donner" and "Blitzen," the two leaders, couldn't stand the trip this warm weather.

L. T. Goodman, who oame along with Santa, said that the old fellow stood the trip well, and seemed good for a good many more Christmasea.

Following is the secret of Mr. Willey's success? He picked out a comfortable looking stump, seated himself upon it, and started the dogs to work. The dogs were so well trained that they stirred up the rabbits and chased them around past where Willey was seated on his stump. As each animal passed the stump the hunter drew a bead and fired, and there was another bunny added to the pile of fresh meat that was accumulating. Mr. Willey declares that the n«xt time he goes after rabbits he will take a rocking chair alon£

Boys' Club Directors Renew Dollar Campaign

Now that the rush in connection with the Thanksgiving day celebration is over the board of directors of the Flora Gulick Boys' club is pushing the dollar club. Yesterday more than 400 letters were sent out by Secretary Benjamin Blumberg, asking residents of the city to become members of the club and to donate their dollar to the ciub.

The BoyB* club annual running expense is about $1,200. This has to be met in various ways. Some of the people of the city are making annual donations of from $25 to $100 annually. Others who are able to do so are asked to give $5 or $10. Those who cannot do this are asked to become members of the Dollar club.

The Boys' club has been credited with much good work in keeping the poorer boys off the streets at night. It is hoped by Mr. Blumberg that some of the Christmas spirit which is directed to other charities will be shown to the Boys' club. Donations may be sent to Mrs. Flora Guliok, Benjamin Blumberg or direct to the club.
