II am so tired" said a clerk in one
Of the stores. "The Christmas things
are beautiful and | like to sell them.
very tiresome" The club women of
81 me of the larger cities have made
shop early their slogan i'm the en-
dcavor to help the tired girls.
How often one hears the remark. 81
haven't done a bit of my Christmas
shopping. | suppose I'll just wait till
the last day in the afternoon and do
II them And the l1st day arrives
and with II a wild scramble at the
counter. This shopper goes into the
over-crowded store without an idea
in her head regarding her needs. She
elbows her way about among other
put-it-off people and wonders why
she cannot be instantly suited from
the stocks depleted and picked over by
the early shoppers. She thinks the
store is horrid and the clerks insane
and makes 1t known to them, in a
fictful way that she wonders at the
stupidity OF their employers in hiring
them. II is this class of Christmas
shoppers that the club women are
trying to reach in their campaign for
carly shopping.
Tho hours behind the counter are
just as long in Marion as elsewhere
and the work Is just as tiresome.
Many persons are actually exhausted
when Christmas day finally arrives
from the worry and task. at the last
moment, to secure gifts for their rela-
tives and friends Think how much
greater must be the condition Of ex-
haustion Of the young women who
wait upon these overwrought Gus
toners. keeping their patience and
cndeavoring to help them, in their
courteous way, to make their selec-
tions
The stores have never presented
more beautiful aspect with the fes-
tive array OF Christmas dccorgtions
and the great display of articles APP
Tropriate for ftfts. These arc ar
ranged temptingly and range from
the lowest figure. So many dainty
little gifts can be purchased so reason
ably that the task of making by hand
the pretty things has been abolished
by many.
Shopping early involves not only
the very excellent idea of helping the
clerks but also the fact thlt fresh
goods is far more attractive than that
which has been picked over, handled
and thrown about by careless hands

 AT LONG BEACH
But Likes One at Phoenix Better for
 Himself

w. H. Nall is back from Long Beach, California where he went last spring for a temporary residence. Ie was not decided just how long he would re- main there nor was he certain that he would not stay permanently He went primarily because his two sons were attending the university of Southern California and he desired to he near them. His family is there yet but Mrs ing the boys in school Phoenix is too good to keep away from, says MT Nall. During the summer he has tray eled from southern California tu Wash ington and has found no place as promising as Phoenix. He has done well here and expects to stick by the town. He did not sell his property when he went to California and it is not for sale now though he has had many good offers since he returned couple of days ago. But while Mir Nall is enthusiastic respecting Phoenix he says that Long Beach is not the worst place in the world. He IS boost ing it as strong as anybody can who likes Phoenix d littl. better. Shortly after going there he associated him. self with a few other men in the or ganiZation of the Long Beach Home association. conducted on lines identical with the Phoenix Home builders association. The association has done wonderfully well having now under construction or already finished. valued at $4O.O0O.
