This little girl in the picture is
cute, eh9 She's dreaming of the
Christmas gifts she expects to get.
Suppose she were your little girl
and you put off buying her pres
ents until Christmas eve and then
found the CROWDS in the stores
so great that you couldn't buy
what you want? Just suppose that
you'd have to find her crying on
Christmas morning simply because
you postponed buying until TOO
LATE?
And suppose also that you may
have family misfortunes and your
sweet little girl may grow up to
be a shopgirl, working early and
late day in and day out and doubly
hard just before Christmas?
Here are two arguments
for SHOPPING EARLY.

The federal column marched directly
west, following the international line
closely. Fear of renewal OF insurgent
efforts to capture Aqua Prieta is prcb
ably responsible for the failure to send
forward larger force. That the reb
els have not moved far from the town
is indicated by the fact that a smai

Washington, April 20.-A bitter de
nunciation Of newspaper influence in
connection with the fight over free
print paper legislation in the last ma
tional campaign was made by former
Speaker Joseph G. Cannon in a speech
in the house late yesterday in con
nection with his opposition to the Ca

There has been a good deal OF talk
about the price of print paper, a good
deal of talk that has run over several
years." said Cannon. THE commit
tee on ways and means of the Sixtieth
congress, when John Sharpe Williams
introduced his free print paper bill,
and it went to that committee by a
unanimous vote, as l am Informed,
postponed action for that session oil
congress, and did not even hold a
hearing on it.
'I was speaker. They unloaded 1t

before in the history of the republic =
that | should recognize Mr.. Williams,

and move to discharge the committee
from further consideration of tnat
bill, which they had postponed for
that session, and by the time the
next session would come the prest

Mr.. Cannon said he replied he
could not do it; that it would not be

"What happened?" he continued

PROVE BY DEMONSTRATION EVI.
DENCE OF DEFENSE WAS
CORRECT

Albany, N. Y, April 2O.-By means
of demonstration made late yester-
day on a body embalmed for a year,
members of the New York State EN-
balmers' association claimed they
have proved that evidence offered in
defense of Albert T. Patrick, now
serving life sentence in Sing Sing
for the murder of William Marsh
Rice, was correct.
1t was the contention of the prose
cution that the congested appearance
of Rice's lungs was due to chloroform
and not to the injection of embalm-
ing fluid, as claimed by Patrick's ex.
Iperts.
DR.. F. G. Moadinger, jr., of Brook
lyn made the demonstration on q
body that had been embalmed last
year in Syracuse, and at its conclu
sion said the fluid injected in th<
right bronchial reached and diffusei
in the tissue of the lungs. thins
which. he said, experts for the Patricl
prosecution insisted was impossible

came from revolutionists, who might
have taken possession Of the customs
