Why Christina 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
1ections instead of buying "jrs.
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 a 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 to get
what you want when you want
it,
Fifth.-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.

arners And Railways.

The Department of Agriculture
states that the aggregate agricultural
production Of this year is more than
per cent above last year, and more
than per cent above the average of
the last five years. The railway rate
dispute would allow the railways to
earn an aggregate income on their
property equal to the increase in the
farmers income. And it is to be re-
marked that the increase in the far.
mers income is additional to tho in.
crease in the "unearned increment"
OF the farms, which is something wav.
up in the billions.
The farmers have now had Is sic.
cesSive good years. The railways havo
had several trying years. and Others
or the same kind loom ahead for
them. 1t is possible for farmers and
railways to prosper together. but il
Is not possible for either of them to
suffer much without the other suffer
ing also. Live and let live is a be-.
ter working theory than getting rich
by the losses of others.-New York

WHAT MAKES A CRY GROW

A well known Bluefeld business
man, who recently returned from a
trip to the Pacific coast said the 9TH
er day that if Bluefeld and The adj
5acent coal areas could be lifted from
their present moorings, and placed
somewhere on the Pacific slope there
would be a city of $4,000 in less than
ten years on account of the hustle.
energy and eternal booming of the
people. He visited many towns where
the people were continually boosting
and where the natural advantage
were not to be compared with those
OF Bluefeld, but IL was doing the
work. This same man expressed the
opinion that it would hardly be pcs
sible 20 keep Blufeld from growing.
but with the present population and
the disinclination to advertise the
citys advantages the growth would
necessarily be slow

tern people have us beaten. They be-

THE COTTON GIN.
Whitney Got the Idea From the Work
Of an Old Neqro.

Eli Whitney. the inventor of the cot
ton gin. got the germ OF his great idea
from seeing through the interstices of
hut an old negro work n hand saw
among the freshly picked cotton stored
within.
The teeth OF the saw tore the lint
from the seed easily and quickly. and
young Whitney the was barely thir-
