Buy Early.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: The wise
individual, whose circumstances per-
nit him or her to do SO, is already
doing Christmas shopping. The tasks
of the holiday seasons are being I'M
dertaken in sane way. The late
Christmas rush is going to be avoided.
Those who can do so are going to
get out of the way of the shoppers
who may have to be late, who are
compelled to make selections at the
last minute. The early shopper is
getting in his work, TO the great sat
isfaction of himself or herself, and OF
the merchant who is thus enabled TO
take better care of his trade, and to
the great relief of the shopgirl, who
in other years has found the Christ
mas rush something to be dreaded and
who after that rush was exhausted IN
body, mind and soul and In no con
dition to have merry Christmas.
The early shopper, moreover, Il
going to do more than merely buy
early. He is going to send the gifts
by mail or express, ahead of the Gus
tomary grand rush. He is going t.
have some mercy on the overworket
clerks and carriers and deliyerymen
He has learned that 1t is quite th'
| thing to send gifts early and to labe
them mot to be opened until Christ
mas" That is, he is learning in tina
/ direction. :,
Christmas buying this year vii
probably exceed that OF any othe
/ wear. Naturally there ought to b.
more early buying much more.
More buying means greater bus
ness through the mails and expires
Offices. And that increased bushes
is an invitation to send your package
early, in order that the increase
business may not be piled on Tn
shoulders of the clerks and carrier
all at once.

The Elk ladies of Iowa City are
giving afternoon card parties. which
leads the Washington Democrat to
say.
When we hear of that we always
know that the cause of humanity has
been greatly advanced We know that
these ladies who play cards in the
afternoon have done a world of good
for the poor and unfortunate. We
know that they are busy contriving
ways to lift the fallen. to help the
weak. to advance living in the word,
to help the boys and girls of the
coming generation Card parties in
the afternoon, in Iowa City or else
where are great moral uplift. We
are glad the Elk ladies are aware OF
this

crat, doesn't get his hair pulled he

Harrison Fisher, the artist, who
has drawn 10000 women in his pic
lures, does not agree with DR.. Dud-
ley Sargent of Harvard college that
women are growing more mannish.
He says their waists look larger be-
cause they do no. wear tight-fittins
corsets and their hips are smaller,
because the corsets come down over
them. Their feet are possibly larger
because they are more sensible and
wear larger shoes. Most of the work
that women are doing in the world
is of a mental kind, and this, he
says, will not tend to make them
more masculine, but the contrary.

The Humiliation of Iowa.

Des Moines Capital: The official
facts from the census bureau state
that there has been an increase OF
population in the United States as
whole of 20 per cent between the
census of 1900 and that of 1910. me
greatest gain was in the state OF New
York. That state added nearly 2,oOO,-
600 of people. The territories of Arr
IONA and New Mexico made the
greatest percentage of gain.
or all the states and territories OF
the union, the state of Iowa alone
shows loss. Iowas loss is 1852.
In all the other agricultural states
there were gains.
States wherein the laws are not
supposed to be as good as in Iowa
report gains.
Verify there is work to do IN iowa
Verify we must give attention to
good roads and to the 1000 scnooi
houses scattered over the prairies that
are almost empty.
Had it not been for the growth OF
Des Moines, Waterloo. Cedar RAPIDS,
Sioux city, Fort Dodge and some Oh
the other cities of the state, Iowa s
loss of population would have been
much greater and our humlllatlon
much keener
We need a new awakening in TINS
state of the Iowa spirit. We need
more Iowa enthusiasm. We need IL
ON the farms. We need it in the shop
We need it in the schools. We neeo
it everywhere. we need more busi
ness and less politics. We fancy tna'
our people have been giving too mucl
attention to politics and not enough at
tention to the natural development o.
The states resources.
Iowa farms are rich enough 10 Oh
vide up. There has been a loss II II
the number of the farms by consoll
dations. This is an unhappy TACT. we
want no farm monopolies. We wan
no big land holders. We want youns
farmers farmers of energy and amol
ton to make the soil yield what
ought to yield.

fetal census reports and at once max

There are a lot o, magazine writ

There are a lot OF magazine writ
ers who ought to be promoted to rail-
way managers. The amount of wis
dom they are capable of furnishing
is simply marvellous. Remarkins upon
this the Cedar Falls Record we'll says:
Railway companies can we'll afford
to pay large salaries to these people
because they have reduced the opera
ton of these enterprises to a science.
They can point out with dexterity the
extravaganza of management and are
able to show that the railways are
paving double for operating expenses
that they should pay These fellows
ought to be given an opportunity to
put their theories in practice.

by the Washington Post today the former

letters are said to indicate that 1t as

congressional campaign in the west, urg-

When Colonel Roosevelt speaks before

will declare himself again for the poll
