For mans Christmas. Anybody who has to buy Christmas presents for a man-young man or old-knows how hard it is to find out what he really wants. Often it's hard for him to say what he really wants; "just get me some little thing, anything will do;;" that's the way he is apt to talk. Now there are two things you want to bear in mind in planning mans Christmas. if you are uncertain what he wants. The first thing is, you'd better buy it in mans store, where he'd buy his other things. The second is. he al- ways wants new, handsome things to wear. If you start out with these two things in mind you'll end by cofning here; for thls is headquarters for mems things You might think we'll of giving as present fine suit or over- coat; that may sound "a little prosaic for Chritmas giffir; but any man who gets one of ours will have something to r.sanvlnber his friends by for long time. Any of these stylish new models in overcoats are the kind to satisfy careful wearers; our suits are smart in fabric and cut. If you will spend $1O to $35 on "him", that's the way to spend it. You'll find, however, many lesser things here suitable for gifts to men. We'll show you some neckwear that will please the taste of any man; rich silk in hundreds of shades and patterns. You'll be sur prised to find how much quality 50 cents will buy; you may go as much higher as you please up to $2. New neckties are always acceptable. No man ever has more handkerchiefs than
 
 he wants; nor more fine hosiery, sus- penders, gloves, shirts, underwear, hats, walking sticks, fancy waistcoats we can think of a lot of good things for men, that will make good Christ mas presents. You can spend any sum from 25c up to S1O or S35 here and get full value for every cent of it; an d "men's things" at that. Anything bought here may be exchanged by you or the man, if it doesn't prove just what he wants. Davis & Savard, Corner Main street and Fairfield av- enue, Bridgeport.

DIVERSIFIED FARMING.

J. B. Kelly, one of our pro- gressive farmers, brought two fine stalks of ribbon cane to The News office today. that proves the adaptability of the soil here for this very very profitable crop.
