The Mexican Carved Leather Stock
 at Balke's Big Curio Store.

Now, that deeper cut has been made in prices at the Bake Big Curio closing out sale. this is the time to invest in genuine Mexican carved leather goods and burnt lcath- CT goods consisting of pillow tops, wall hangers, etc.
 But especial attention is called to the stock of carved leather, consist ing of belts, hatbapds. purses. ladies chatelaines, cigar and cigarette cases. music rolls and many other articles.
 Now this carved leather stock is not to be confounded with much that is called carved leather but which has never been touched by q carving tool. That is only imitation carved leather and not very good imita- tion. The carving is nothing more than an impression made by stamp
 The carved leather at the Big Curio store is an entirely different kind The carving is genuine, done in heavy leather by eXnert Worllmen. Even those unfamiliar with this kind of thing can easily see the difference
 At the prices at which things are going at the Big Curio store, the genuine carved leather costs no more than the imitation elsewhere.

SHUCkING OYSTERS,

The appearance, size OF the shell and
flavor of the growing oyster are moditie !
according to environment. Many small
oysters are shipped to the Pacific coast
and transplanted, as III that section the
industry is rapidly increasing. although
the conditions are unfavorahle for spawn
ing and the proper development OF the
native oyster.
From forty-fiye TO fifty thousand seed
oysters are required to fill an ordinary

from $50 to $50 barrels of seed oysters
which amount is soNn over an area OF
about five acres. Within two or three
years the seed oysters thus planted have
grown to u sufficient size for market pur-
poses When consumed the average oys-

and placed in warmer waters, where the

Philander Chase Knox. Secretary
of State. says:
War, like any other sort of
fighting, is rarely deliberate. Ma
tons, like individuals. go to war
in the heat of passion. The recent
treaties require, in case of diff
ferences. a year of elaboration.
This stipulation alone is almost
enough to prevent all war. For a
delay of year will allow all heat
to disappear. and deliberate juds-
ment will never approve of war.
where Great Britain and France
have each entered into an arbitra-
ton agreement with the United
States. it would be but natural
that should a difference arise be-
tween them they would arbitrate
it even in the absence of a treaty.
With a few more of the great ma
tions formally bound to arbitrate
all disputes, the force of inter-
national public opinion will be such
that disputes between nations not
having treaties will be arbitrated
despite that fact. Thus is the way
prepared for an almost immediate
arbitration sentiment that prac-
tically means world peace"
