WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS ARE DOING
Cuttings From the Press of Surrounding
Towns.
(From the De Soto Arrus.)

During short visit at our office C.
S. Lawson, of Redmound, told us that
his nine cows had averaged over $50. 90
a month for several months past. Us
poor DEVILS in town don't stand

latter is ''tied to cows tail.
P;g. A. D. Moore had narrow es-
cape while handling nitro gIycerine
cartridge. He had supposed that all the
cartridges, which had been used for
blasting purposes, had been left in
Maine when he moved to De Soto, but
IN some way they had been packed with
his goods and one of his little children
had found them and was playing with
it when Mr.. Moore saw what she had
and took it from her He was holding
the cartridge in his hard explaining its
destructiveness to the children, when it
suddenly exploded, tearing the nail
from the finger and badly shattering
his thumb. Fortunately the cartridge
was pointed away from him when the
accident occurred and the. main force
was spent in the air.

BUY CHRISTMAS PRESENTS EaRLY
Satisfaction Will be Obtained by This
Wise Precaution.

Christmas is less than a month away.
And the newspapers must continue their
line upon line and precept upon precept
concerning Christmas buying.
Because the averF ge buyer of Christ
mas gifts will put Of his purchase until
the rush season begins if he be not
warned.
From every point of view early buy
ing is wisdom.
When you go to the store before the
busy time you get full pick and choice
of the stuff. And what is as important,
the clerks have plenty of time to wait
on you. Everyone knows what help
to the purchaser an intelligent and
willing clerk may be.
On the other hand, delay in buying
means that the assortment is broken.
There is a serious waste of time in get
ting to the counters. There is dis
in many cases there is discomfort after
the purchases are made. You get only
a grab bag sort of choice with the
crowd.
Besides, one should have some con-
sideration for the statesmen and sales
women.
Goodness knows they will be tired
with the long strain put upon them.
They are sure to be overwhelmed with
work in the last days of the rush. And
so both selishness and sympathy die
tate early buying.
Doubtless you will say these same
things have been said by the news
papers every year. But they ought to
be said. This has been a wonderfully
prosperous year and it is likely that all
records for holiday buying will be
broken. If you would save both your
self and the holiday workers WEAKNESS
of flesh and spirit, we say it again
Buy your Christmas presents early. =

Stand of Corn Not Good,

j. E. Faulkner of the Sterrett
community was in town today and
called at this office. Mr.. Faulkner
said the farmers of his community
did not have a good stand of corn.
He said that while only about three
fourths of the corn came up the far
mers would not replant. He said
THAT as a usual thing Ellis county
farmers planted their corn too thick
and he gave it as his opinion tina
the curtailment fthe stand by tn
freeze would be beneficial to tn,
crop, resulting in a better yield
