CHRISTMAS COMES
 suREsT SIGN OF II
The Great Cerowds Thronging ealke's
 Big Curio Store.

If there was no, other way to know that Christmas was near at hand the growing crowds at Balke's Big Curio store would awaken suspicion to that fact. IL is a remarkable thing that the puzzled shopper. and nearly all shoppers are more or less puzzled at this time of year, has to go no fur ther. He or she may not have decided just what to buy when entering the store. but the revelation comes quick ly Suggestions are on every hand and the task is soon complete.
 If it is not an ostrich plume or a Navajo blanket. it is one of the thou sands of things that all present them selves to the eye as seasonable gifts
 Among the favorites are articles of genuine Russian hammered brass. of which there are many varieties Of kinds as well as of price. Indian moccasins relieve many an anxious shopper Others find solace in MeXi- can zerapes or genuine Mexican drawn work The Mexican and Indian pot cry intakes handsome as well as novel gifts The Indian silver jewelry. con sisting of rings. bracelets. belt and  hat pins. attract the attention of many who want to send something ArizOn- ian. novel and useful to eastern friends. Others more with an eve to artistic beauty choose jewelry set with Arizona precious stones.
 But there is something for every body at the Big Curio.
 Another large lot of those heavily embossed and beautiful Christmas post cards has been received. They are still going at a penny apiece. an unheard-of price in Phoenix or else where for such works of art
 It has been found necessary to in crease the corps of clerks in order that patrons may be served with the least possible delay and for the further ac- commodation of patrons the Big Curio will he kept open at nights until 9 o'clock until Christmas.

struggle from which the nation
emerged, purified as by fire, born
anew to a loftier life. After long
years of iron effort, and of failure
that came more often than victory

that leadership had become the stu.
