thoughtfulness on the part Of shop
pers.
What Is true in the stores is true
in the postoffice and express offices.
The service can not be so secure or so
prompt as in normal times. Packages
may easily be sent to friends at dis
lance. with plain instructions not to
open until Christmas. In this way
the forwarding may be done several
days before in advance of Christmas,
without spelling the Christmas morn
ing delights.
If the humane side of it does not
appeal to you, whether you be shop
per or merchant, then apply the mar
rowest selfish standards, and you will
find that as shopper you will get
better service, better goods, better
delivery, for less money and less wear
and tear on body and nerves, by doing
your shopping early in the season and
early in the day: while, if merchant,
you will find that from untired clerks
you get better salesmanship, and that
by urging your patrons to shop early
in the season and early in the day,
you will sell fifty per cent more goods
than in the old way.

HAVE REGARD FOR CLERKS
An Exchange Gives Timely And
Valuable Advise To Shoppers.

There will inevitably be a great
strain on all connected with mercan-
tile and forwarding business during
the big rush just before Christmas,
but why intensity it? The shopper
does not get the same service in the
rush days and the rush hours that he
gets in days and hours of calm. The
stocks are paved over, the selection
is not well displayed, and delivery is
often uncertain. Don't make Christ
mas time of dread and resentment
for the workers in the stores. Re-
gard their bodies and minds, their
needs for rest and recreation, and
don't crowd them, on the last few
days, to do indifferently the work
that might have been done with pride
and pleasure before the great rush.
The holidays come to the wo.
men and children workers in the
stores after days and weeks of extra
hard service, that might be greatly
lessened in rigor through little

city. The little ones have their own
reading and reference rooms, and for
the older students ample provision has
been made for research amid quiet
and comfort. The circulating rooms
are usually the busy rooms but order
and beauty marks every corner of this
floor, and the atmosphere which per-
vades the whole suit is that of quiet

1t is also a place where sessions may be

DOGS MUST BE
CHECKED AS BAGGAGE

If you own dog and wish to take
him on railroad trip with you in the
future you will be compelled by the
railroad companies to check the can
ine as so much baggage and he will
ride in with the rest of your luggage.
Not only must the animal be checked,
but he must bear check showing the
name Of the owner. After you have
attended to all these preliminaries if
your pet weighs more than fifty
pounds, you will have to dig down in
your jeans for excess baggage on the
brute. And BESIDES this you will not
be allowed more than two at one time
in the baggage coach ahead. These
are some Of the new baggage rules
and regulations which were recently
adopted by the Western Passenger
association and are set down in bold,
black type in W. P. A. circular num-
Der 251, just issued. The rules be-

TREE PLANTERS
MAKE DISCOVERY
The Norway Poplar, Near ReIa-
tives OF Cotton Tree. Has Good
Qualities,

The planters throughout the north
ern portion of the middle west have
had brought to their attention lately
the extraordinary value of the Nor
way poplar, a near relative of the
common cottonwood, which possesses
prestige of the whole cottonwood
family.
This cottonwood is shrouded in
mystery, so far as its origin is con-
cerned. 1t bears no cotton and is re-
produced entirely from cuttings. The
tree grows straight and lean and it
is said that the bark never scalds or
cracks. The wood is straight-grained
and suitable for lumber. 1t splits
easily. seasons quickly, and makes eX-
cellent fuel
The Norway poplar g rows very rap
idly. In Minnesota it has been known
to grow so feet high with diameter
of Il inches in II years 1t makes a
good shade tree, retaining its leaves
until late in the autumn, and on ac-
count of its rapid growth should
prove very desirable for windbreaks
and shelterbelts So far as is known
at present, this tree is perfectly hardy
and will grow under variety of soil
and moisture conditions. 1t seems,
however, to respond quickly by in
creased growth to cultivation and
care.
The advantage which the Norway
holds over the Carolina poplar, one of
the most popular of cottonwoods, is
chiefly in its greater hardness, better
form, and the seemingly superior
quality Of its wood is shown in pre-
liminary studies made by the United
States Forest Service. 1t will be
some time before the Norway poplar

SHOULD PUT DOWN A WALK
Vine Street Needs Temporary
Walk Immediately.

Not all people in this city are salts
fed with the manner in which Vine
street is being left for winter. 1t
was hoped by large number of people
living in the Third ward that this
street might be opened before snow
came, but this of course cannot be.
However, there are a great many who
criticise the city officials for tearing
up the sidewalk on that street until
the work of widening was ready to
commence, and even now the street
is being left without a board to walk
on. When the spring comes it will
be absolutely necessary to travel
through mud and SluSh when using
this street This is one of the trifies
but it is a matter which needs attend
ing to immediately, and the city
authorities should see to it that some
kind of walk is provided before the
weather makes the work impractical.
