A THANKSGIVING REMARK.

There is no surer way of maxi
ing the Christmas season of good
fellowship season of needless suf-
fcring than by delaying purchases
till the last minute. That delay
means crowding shops till Nentila-
ton Is powcrless, and forcing clerks
and cash girls. shippers and nc
countants. to steady drive and
unrcmitting toll which often ills
nights as well rs days. II means
getting better goods. nowadays

Christmas stock in readiness for the
buyer weeks before the holiday II
anything, one gets freshcr goods by
purchasing them well ahead. The
man or woman who makes UP and
bills the list of necessary gifts
early is bcstowing Christmas
gift upon some unknown fellow
being. No Thanksgiving remark
that occurs to us has as much prac-
Teal usefulness as this about tho
proper use of tho time between
the November holiday and tho one
that follows in mber.-Coliers.

such Il handicap of brains and barna-
cles I'll race YOU on a beat up to the
point yonder, then on the ten nile run

the club and back to the owe by Dilla-

Archie he laughed and said it was,
and all at once the race was on.
Now, Phil had lied when he said we
was favoring him with advice, cause
we hadn't said a word. But that beat
up to the point want half over afore
Jonadab and me was dying to tell him
a few things. He handled that boat
like a lobster. Archie gained on every
tack and come about for the run a full
minute afore us.
And on that run afore the wind
twas worse than ever. The way Phil
seesawed that piece of pie back and
forth over the river was a sin and
shame. He could have Stacked off his
mainsail and headed dead for the buoy;
but, no-he jiggled around like an old
woman crossing the road ahead of a
funeral.
Cap'n Jonadab was Oh edge. Rae

say, and he fidgeted like he was set

snaps out:
keep her off! Keep her off afore
the wind! Can't you see where you're
going?"
Phil looked at him as if he was a
craven image. and all the answer he
made was. BE calm, Barnacles, be
calm!"
But pretty soon I couldn't stand it
no longer, and I busts out with: keep
her off, MI. Whats-your-name! For the
Lords sake, keep her off! He'll beat
the life out of you"
And all the good that done was for
me to get a stare that was colder than
the wind, if such a thing S possible.
But Jonadab got fidgtyer every min

est part of the river, within a little
ways of the buoy. he couldn't stand it
no longer.

fatiron jibed twice-once for prac-
tice, 1 jedge, and then for business.
She commenced by twisting and
squirming like an eel. I jest had sense
enough to clamp my mittens on to the
little brass rail by the stern and hold
on. Then she jibed the second time.
She stood up on two legs, the boom
came owe with a slat that pretty nigh
took the mast with it, and the whole
shebang whirled around as if it had
forgot something. I have a foggy kind
of remembrance of locking my mitten
clamps fast on to that rail while the
rest Of me streamed out in the air like
a burgee. Next thing I knew we was
scooting back toward Dillaway's, with
the sail catching every ounce that was

paigning for her choice for president of
the Federation of Women's Clubs Of
Oklahoma, which is holding its second
annual convention here.
Mrs. d. "A. McDougal of Sapulpa, the
general vice president of the fedora
Ition, and Mrs. Claud L. Steele Of Mus

dates for president. Mrs. Ofield is a
strong "McDo1galite,' and Monday
night gave a reception to all the dele
gates Of the federation and to the local
chapter of the Daughters of the Con
federacy. Mrs. McDougal's boom for
president was formally launched. While
the candidacy of the Sapulpa woman
was not openly espoused, it was whis-
pered among the delegates that she
was candidate, and, being vice pres

The boom was SO cleverly executed
