Send Christmas Presents Early.

SEnQ ATTi6NfFtdS TsNS~NNS @N' ~
The Adams Express Co. has issued
its annual circular advising people
intending to send Christmas presents
By express, not TO defer it until day
or two before Christmas and then ex-
pect prompt delivery when such a
thing is almost impossible, due to the
great rush of business at that time.
All anxiety on this score en- the part
OF the sender of a Christmas present
can be obviated by simply shipping
the present week or two earlier than
would otherwise be necessary, and
pasting label On the package read
ing. do not open until Christmas"
which the local agent of the express
company will furnish on application.
Thus the gift would be certain to ar
rive at its destination in time, and the
pleasure afforded the recipient would
not be marred by its belated arrival.
Valuable Articles.
While some pretty souvenir pleases
most women, the housewife who is not
burdened with this worlds gods is
very apt to like something for her
home, providing it be something suit
able and pleasing A richly-brown
casserole from 20 cents up may
please her, or jelly mold in the same
material. These cost 20 cents to 81.

selecting of her kitchen battery, an
article for some other room is in or

handkerchief is considered most like

to her taste in literature, as well as
bindings, an attractive book may well
please.
Or a subscription to magazine de-
voted to interests with which she is
in sympathy is the very thing. One
of the table book racks is usually ae-
ceptable. Naturally it should be
chosen in harmony with the other fur
nishings. In brass it will be effective
with brass desk fitments, though in a
room with mahogany or oak furniture

Lamps.
The woman who would like just one
lamp more may be easily pleased.
Shopland was never richer in lamps,
Sil, gas or electric. For the two lat
ter sorts the lamp part is no more
than a standard in many instances
AS often as not il is of brass. A new
type shows a lovely glass shade in a
frosted velvety effect A design, as
often as not floral, is painted on the
inside, and shows through delicately
blurred. The large ones cost $3.50 to
$40, while a desk size may be had for
$3.50.
AS handsome as ever are the amber
and other art glass effects more or
less covered with metal. Some CT the
effects are amazingly beautiful.
The new Persian lamps of stamped
hand-cut brass are very handsome, the
shades being lined with silk. Or sep
arate shades may be had. Prices range
from S12 to $40.

ADVANTAGES OF IRRIGATION.


As one becomes more familiar with
the conditions under which the farmer
In the irrigated tracts OF the west
works his land and handles his crops
IL Is clear that he has several advan-
nges over his fellow farmer I'm the
central and eastern states. who relies
upon rainfall alone for the moisture
necessary for the growth and maturi-
ty OF his crops. Perhaps his chief and
most important advantage Is that he
Is able to put water on his land nj
will. being free from the distraction
and annoyance OF heavy rains during
the time of seeding and cultivation,
which would soak the ground, delay
cultivation and give the weeds a big
boost. Coupled with perfect regu-
lation OF the moisture which Is al
lowed TO go upon the land Is another
favorable condition-the large number
of clear, bright days during the har-
vest months. which make possible the
perfect rlpening OF the grain and hay
and the harvesting and securing OF 1t
under most favorable conditions. Any
que VINO nus trleu 10 cure nay between
showers In June In the central and
eastern states viii appreciate this
point. Lastly. the irrigated lands have
this vital point In their favor-that
little II any of the original fertility OF
the soil has been soaked out and
washed out by repeated and heavy
rains. This accounts for the remark
able productivity OF western soils.
which have waited centuries for the
magic touch of water to make them
the garden spots OF earth. In view OF
these points and others which might
be mentioned. II is not surprising that
many an eastern farmer looks long
ingly toward the west and many an
other pulls mp stakes and goes out to
the irrigated sections.

STRINGENT MEASURES NEEDED.

Ii is becoming more apparent every

which have the noxious weed problem

an ofrense punishable by heavy fine for

foul seeds to adjoining farms. 1t is
true that In some cases some such
laws are on the statute books, but they

penalty they provide Is not sufficient
