Think of Christmas.


Even from the strictly business standpoint however, there
is no ground for complaint.
Entirely contrary to other published reports, large
part of the L. W. W. and their sympathzers
with jobs and with money For instance, there story
in The Press today which proves it. The who thought
they might be arrested today deposited $1,000 at the
l. w. W. hall Does that look like 'hoboes and loafers -
The situation has brought thousands to this city, and they
spending in the aggregate, goodly every day.
But this is editorial on Christmas plans The above
simply helps to show that the winter is going to be pros
porous for Spokane Although prices high for
everything, nearly everyone is making good money and
they will be able to buy all the comforts.
In less than seven weeks Christmas will be here again.
It's mighty good plan to prepare well in advance for the
biggest day in the year.
Begin your Christmas shopping NOW.
Begin your Christmas work at home NOW.
Spend your Christmas money NOW, and then when the
rush is the last week before the holidays, you
sit back luxurousy watch others tear their hair
getting things time, and be in very satisfactory and
receptive mood for presents to yourself.
Do your Christmas shopping now and NOT on Christ
mas eve.

NE WYORK, Nov. S.-The lot
of the ice man is not all lame
back and small wages in New
York. He can make money for
himself under a system in use
by the ice companies here. How
much he can make is dependent
upon how easy his customers are
and how big a scalawag he is.
= Many customers do not deal
with the ice companies, though
they receive ice from it's wagons.
The driver starts out, charged
with 1000 pounds of ice, or what
ever amount is on the load. He
has to pay the company for that
much ice, less per cent for
shrinkage, which depends on the
state of the weather. He delivers
to each customer 50 many pounds
of ice, and takes the money. An
INSCRIPTIONS driver, whose GUS
toners do not weigh their ice
themselves, can sell from 1900 to
400 pounds out of a 10O0-pound
load, and of course the velvet
goes into his pocket.
The new style in hair dressing,
which makes a lady's knob look
like the top end of hitching post
with a horses tail wrapped close

widely prevalent. The danes who
affect it attract great attention at
the theater frs highs, but here is
| too much hard-earned money in
vested in rats, puffs and switches
| for the new wrinkle to come
through with a rush.
AS the old style coiffure, of the
life preserver variety, goes out, it
seems to be swelling up and grow
ing to more and more balloonlike
proportions. Apropos of which, an
usher at the Liberty theater tells
a story which may or may not be
true. Anyway, he says it really
happened.

contraption of hair and wire goods

which reads, Ladies are request

well known that he is the son of

Unusual Value in

People wonder at the remarkable
