NOW FOR MERRY
CHRISTMAS
Which Is Coming at Fast Pace
and Is Due Four Weeks
From Sunday.

While swallowing your Thanksgiv-
ing dinner yesterday did your mind
revert to Christmas and how soon IL
will be here. Then for another scram-
BILE for presents for loved ones near
and remote.
But IL shouldn't be- a scramble, and
wouldn't II the public would exercise
some OF the horse sense Il ordinarily
possesses. Storekeepers and their
clerks can not give you proper atton-
ton when everybody is trying to
crowd a months shopping into two or
three days. Poor service can be the
only result. How can one clerk wait
upon a dozen customers at a timer
When people don't get what they
want, they blame the merchants, while
no one Is to blame but themselves. II
they had come earlier the assortments
would have been better and the clerks
would have had time 10 look after their
wants in a sane manner.
Ofcourse some business mon are lit
tie better than the people they COM
plain about. They arrange for earlier
shopping and then take no sensible
way of informing their customers that
they are ready to supply their holiday
wants-put their advertising of to the
last minute like many people do their
buying.
There are early bird merchants as
well as early bird buyers. This re-
minds us of woman who began buy
ing pictures and bric-a-brac last May,
when prices were normal, and now vir-
tually has all her Christmas presents
assembled and the worry over-only
nut and fruits to look after,
and that is easy, If you have any mon
ey left.
Set down now and make out your
list of Christmas gifts and prepare for
an immediate campaign.

Mail your gifts ahead of the rush,
but don't open before Christmas" is
the slogan of the post-ofiice depart
ment, in its campaign to minimize the
annual congestion of Christmas mail.
Post.oflices all over the country are
preparing for the Christmas gift mails
that make the ordinary volume of pos
tai traffic look small by comparison.

Court Matters

Among the cases under consldera-
ton by Judge Layton of the Common
Pleas Court last Tuesday were:
The case of T. @. Burke VS.. j. NJ.
Dull ct al. was decided in favor of the
defendants October 81, and on Tuesday
the costs were assessed against the
plaintiff.
The court gave the defendant leave
to plead December in the case Of the
National Supply Company VS.. the viii
lage of Rockford.
The court overruled the motion in
the case of the Cleveland Cream Sepa-
rator Co. VS.. George r. Smalley, and
gave the defendant leave to plead De-
cember II.
In the case of the First National
Bank VS.. A. B. Newcomb, the court
found for the plaintiff, awarding judg-
ment for SlO9. 40 and costs.
Upon application of the plaintiff the
case of Hugh Monroe VS.. Susan Jack
son was dismissed without record at
the plaintiffs cost.
The demurrer was overruled in the
case of Harry L. Means, who plead not
guilty to the charge of selling liquor
to a minor, and his case was set for
trial Saturday, December II.
Vernon Woods was arrested at
Charlotte, Mich, last Monday by Off
Ger Hight and brought to this city to
answer to the charge of obtaining
money under false pretense, filed in
Squire Raudabaugh's court. The
charge was preferred by Pat King. 1t
was alleged that Woods while resid-
ing near Mercer, in July 1908, sold him
a wagon which he represented was free
from encumbrance. After King bought
the wagon it was claimed by Ed l..
Bryson, who had chattel mortgage on
it. Woods was taken into Squire
Raudabaugh's court, where the father
of the defendant affected settlement
with King, and upon payment of the
costs the case was dismissed

MERCER HEADED
THE WRONG WAY.
Population Fleeing to the Cities
and No Abatement of the
Plague in Sight.

Mercer County's population shows a
decrease over ten years ago of sOl-not
very fine notwithstanding to the
census just given out, which puts it at
1920. Ten years ago it was 2s,O2l.
Twenty years ago It was 1886.
Notwithstanding this reversal, we be-
lieve all the larger towns in the coun-
ty have made gains. The falling off
then is in the farm population. Small
farms are evidently being gobbled up
by the bigger ones. The exodus to the
cities and big towns is on the increase
despite the cry, back to the land"
Van Vert County shows a decrease
in population, and Auglaize and Darke
show but Insignificant increases, yet all
the big towns are growing. Allen
County is the only one of our neigbors
TO make big gain, and that will be
found to have been contributed solely
by Lima.
So it is all over the State. Cleveland
is credited with nearly third of the
increase in the population of the State.
It's almost startling, but it is true.
1t can't go on forever.
The bubble will bust some day.
And somebody's goin' to get hurt.
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1910-11-25

And then we may have need for
some of the socialist doctors we have
been giving the horse laugh.
And great many children are be-
ginning to wonder if public monopoly
would be any worse than private mo-
nopoly, which Bryan says is inde-
fensible, which the public is squealin'
about and which they don't seem to
know when they meet it on the pike.
But what has that to do with the de-
population of Mercer County?
Or land monopoly?
Or any other kind?

She looked up and looked de.t

And she let him take hold Of her lily

(This is history now, as you must ur

Then she said, In a voice that was
dulcetly low:
:" must take time to think. 'Tis so sud.

And that's how that started.

years or so,
Then Adam told Eve: "We're lnvite5

DAIRY INDUSTRY IN COLORADO

There are approximately 100000
milch cows in Colorado. Many are Sc
lected from the range and are poorly
handled and MIXED through the sum
mer, producing annually only from $50
to $50 cow. A number of well Sc
lected cows are kept in or near towns,
and are fed, producing annually from
$50 to 800 a COW. The average an
nual production is probably not over
$40 cow, or total yearly production
for the State. from dairy products, of
$6,400,00O. If these estimates are cor
rect, Colorado farmers are supplying
about fifty-six per cent of the dairy
products and substitutes for dairy pro.
ducts consumed in the State.
Butter and oream.-A large quantity
of butter is shipped into Colorado from
Kansas and Nebraska, and the larger
portion Of the cream churned in the
principal factories in Denver, Colora-
do Springs and Pueblo is shipped in
from Kansas and Nebraska. One con-
cern in Denver churned over 5000, 900
pounds of butter in 1909, large part
OF which came from Nebraska. Some
of the largest dealers in dairy products
in the State estimate that in 1909 an
average of over 10000 pounds of but.
ter came into Colorado. either as but
ter or in cream that ,u,. oh,.,
arrival. Butter made from Kansas and
Nebraska cream is used in the noun
tain sections of Colorado, $50 miles
from Denver.
cheese'-The quantity of cheese made
In Colorado is SO small that it is sell
dom found in most of the towns of the
State. Most of the cheese consumed
In Colorado comes from New York.

IRRIGATED LANDS NOT
OPEN TO sETfLKRs

Washington, July 6.!The reelama
tion bureau yesterday gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
"The act of June 25, 1910, providing
for loan of 10000, 900 to the reclaim
alton fund, contains q provision which
is of general interest to the West, ~
it will affect the taking of entries upon
reclamation projects.
"Section 5 of the act provides in ef-
feet that hereafter no entry shall be
allowed upon lands withdrawn a. sus-
ceptible of irrigation until the score
tary of the interior shall have issued
the usual pubic notice establishing
the unit of acreage, announcing the
water charges and when water can be
applied.
Glands which heretofore have been
| withdrawn under what is known ~
second form Withdrawals under the
reclamation act will not, therefore, be
subject to entry until the secretary has
issued public notice.
Furthermore, as the first form with
drawal is, by the reclamation act, not
subject to entry the effect Of this leg
islatton is to prevent entry on any
lands withdrawn under the reclamation
act. Where settlement is made in
faith prior to the passage of the act,
the settler will be permitted within
the usual time to complete his entry,
but further settlement or entry upon
such lands is clearly prohibited.
"The secretary of the interior has
Directed the commissioner of the gen.
eral land Office to notify by wire such
local land Offices as are affected. The
fact that under the reclamation act
entries were permitted upon these Sec
ond form Withdrawals enabled settlers
to go upon these lands long in advance
of the time when water was ready.
They have thus been compelled to live
upon the lands without being able to
make living from them, as no crops
could be obtained without irrigation.
"The distress and hardships suffered
by these people have to considerable
extent been the cause of the demand
for this addition to the reclamation
fund, and, therefore, while this legis-
lation does not appear to be properly
part of this act, yet in effect it is
the logical outcome of the conditions
which called for the increase in ths
reclamation fund.-

MorrAT ROAD CUTS OUT BOOZE

Denver, July, 1.-THE general pas
senger agents Office of the Moffat road
has announced that in future no liquors
would be sold in the dining cars of
the Moffat road trains. This action
was taken in response to demands
from tourists who objected to the sale
of liquor in the cars. The sale of the
booze made it unpleasant for the pas
sengers the tourists declared. This is
in sharp contrast to the argument Of
the saloon supporters here and at Colo
rado Springs. who asserted that booz,
was necessary to attract the tourist
trade. As rule the tourist who is
attracted to town simply by reason
Of the booze to be obtained there 10
not very desirable sort Of tourist.
Glenwood has catered altogether too
much to that class Of tourists and in
doing so has driven away the better
class Of travelers-those who desire to
spend their vacations in beautiful
spot such as Glenwood is, without the
disgusting conditions which are In.
separable from saloon ridden tswn.
