The delay of the frost will bring
400 900 bushels more of corn to the
fields than was estimated four weeks
ago, and there will be 200000000 bush

q few weeks ago. II is now certain
that the corn crop for the year will
be a little over 100000 900 bushels.

MONDAY AFTERNOON NOV. q 1911
COUNT LEO TOlSTOI.

In the death of Count Tolstoi the
world loses one of the greatest men
of the age, and among the greatest of
any age. He was a master mind
characterized by independent thought,
strength of conviction, an unconquer-
able courage and withal a nature kind
ly disposed toward his fellow man and
intensely human. He was eminent
in whatever field he entered. AS n
young man, he distinguished himself
in military lines and later in life when
he became man of letters. he speed
lily arose TO the heights of fame. But
like most men of genius he was eccen-
trc to very marked degree, and like
many men Of the same class IL would
seem that he lacked proper balance.
His views on all subjects were liable
to sudden change. but he was absolu
tely fearless in whatever he advocat
ed, and on the whole he Saought cor.
rectly. If consistency is the bugbear
OF little minds, Tolstoi could never be
accused of this fault. His changes
he believed were in the direction of
right, and he never attempted to JUS
tify former position. To illustrate
this side of his nature ii is related that
a friend once asked Countess Tolstoi
regarding her husband views on a
certain religious proposition She re-
piled that she had not talked with
him upon the subject since breakfast.
AS man of letters, Tolstoi's place
is among those of the highest rank.
His novels are finished products of
the literary art, and while several of
them involve problems. the discussion
OF which he knew would Jar the CON
ventions of despotic Russia this deter.
red him not. He was bold even TO the
risky extent of personally criticising
the Gar, ana Ills independence in his
religious, philosophic and socialistic
writings brought accommodation up
on him from the Greek church, and
placed the ban upon Several of his
works throughout the empire. And
in all this eventful career there is one
who must not be forgotten-his wife
The countess was the mother of six
teen children, and during her hus
bands long literary labors she acted
as his amanuensis. She was always
in sympathy with his work and. a cul
tured and highly educated woman. she
gave him the valuable assistance OF
friend, helpmate and adviser

Why Christmas Shopping
Should Begin Early

First.-Because you can get
better bargains when the stock
is fresh and full.
Second-Because you thus
have time TO make proper sc.
lections instead OF buying "juss
anything" to make out your
gift list.
Third.-Because you can time
the gifts you send away by ex.
press or by mail so that they
will reach the recipients Just be
fore Christmas and not day
or so late.
Fourth Because by spread.
ing your shopping over several
weeks instead Of doing all of it
In a few hours and in a great
rush you will be able 10 get
what you want when you want
IT,
FILTH Because you will be
doing your part toward making
things easier for the shopgirls
and the other clerks. who are
rushed almost to death when
everybody buys everything the
last few days before Christmas.
