HUNTER POSES IN WINDOW
Wax Figure Is Center of Unique Dis
play mt Hardware Store.

There is window in a hardware
store of Columbia which is the cause
of much favorable comment. 1t is
apropos the opening of the hunting
season.
\ wax figure in hunting clothes sits
by an electric-red-paper fire His
faithful dog, a real one stuffed, shifts
over rabbits skin which his master
has just thrown aside. The pans over
the fire contain a hoe cake and rab-
bits hind leg. In the hunters hands
are a jack knife and forked stick
Around him a little brook flows in a
graceful horseshoe bend. In the
stream, which begins as spring bub-
bling out from under hill in one cor
ner, live fish are swimming.
Real rocks, grass, shrubs and moss
are used. The hunters new-modeI
pumpgun leans against a hickory sap
ling at his side On the ground neal
the fire lies can of instant coffee
and evaporated milk.
Well" said one spectator, after he
had admired the window for about fif-
teen minutes, ''if any of the large city
windows can beat that one. please
let me see it."

IN WHICH CLASS ARE YNTl

There are two kinds of Christmas
shoppers. First, there's Mrs. Brown,
whom We call the early shopper She
starts her buying about this time of
the season. Today. when the clerks
are not busy and the big showing of
holiday goods is complete, she goes
down and carefully inspects the stocks.
Perhaps she has a part of her list
of presents already selected She viii
get these things today-all clean and
fresh merchandise.
In few days when housework is
light again. Mrs. Brown will make
another shopping tour This time her
list of Christmas gifts will be complete
| (she got many new ideas from her
last visit And when she returns home
from that tour you will find Mrs
Brown with a happy smile, the result
of having the burden of Christmas
shopping off her mind.
Now the other kind of shopper is
like Mrs. Smith. She says, "Oh! Christ
mas is more than a month off;
couldn't begin thinking so far ahead
what l will buy for Christmas gifts
I'll wait until the other people be-
gin buying and see what they get.
But poor Mrs. Smith is laying the traI
to get herself into much trouble. In
| three or four weeks from now we will
see her rushing down to the crowded
stores and showing through the masses
Of late buyers.
BY this time she will have seer
what some of her friends like Mrs
Brown have already purchased. o.
course she intends to get some o
those things. But sad to relate, the
early shoppers have already exhausted
the supply. Finally she will make {
number of inappropriate selections ant
will spend her holiday fretting be
cause she did not get down tow
earlier.
Which kind of buyer are you goins
to be?

The need which Eve imposed upon
humanity away back in the realms of
antiquity has since been made more
than a cloak for modesty or a de-
Ifense against the vicissitudes OF wealth
er Scattered along the centuries are
almost every conceivable sort of gar
ment, from the early dress of Babylon
ians, long, rather loose, kind of Il
skirt suspended from a girdle, down
to the dress of today, the Snug-fitting

rear end of the head piece.
When some philosopher niched his
name in history by startling the uni
verse with an assertion that there was
nothing new under the sun, he forgot
fashion. If he lived in the skin age
when primitive man was close to ma
ture perhaps his mistake was pardon
able; but if he inhabited the world
in the twentieth century and followed
the dictates of tailors, surely he must
have lacked several slaves of being
round.
The PlantagenetS started the fash
ion ball rolling as far as pomp, oddity
and extravaganza in masculine dress

order that the men would not wrinkle
their stiff buckram skirts when seated

unburdened himself of the idea of the

 VALUES STRUCK
NEW MINERAL CONDI- TON ENCOUNTERED BE- TWEEN OLD AND NEW SHAFTS IN EMPORIA

 H. H. Keays, joint owner of the Emporia mines on Groom creek, with w. A. Stortz, while in the city recently reported a new miner al condition as cut into on the l00-foot drift between the two old shafts, and which indicated heavy values in silver.
 Heretofore the two shafts have carried good gold values and the striking of the new lense has ere ated considerable comment among mining men. Mir. Keays states work will continue, however, in that zone and the two shafts will be connected up. A car load of ore leaves this week for the Copper Queen smelters at Douglas, and reg ular shipments are to be made dur ing the fall and winter months.
 This property was recently re- vived after several months of idle ness and formerly was successfully operated, the ores being milled at a plant adjacent.

 Frank Stewart, part owner of the Fair Oaks orchard, visited his ranch ~esterday and found the apple crop looking exceedingly we'll It will be a rather "short" year with the Fair Oaks Company. but they expect tc harvest and market oSer 10000 boxes.
 Mir. Stewart has the distinction of producing the largest Elberta peaches seen this year. He gave Secretary Frazer a number for ship ment to Phoenix and for cold stor- age in Prescott for the Northern Arizona fair.
 When informed as to the scope and purpose of the Northern Ari- zona Fair Association. Mir. Stewart said he would exhibit at Prescott an entry of each kind of apples produced on his ranch. He believes the idea of a Northern Arizona fair a very good one and prophe- cies that the venture will succeed.
 Fencing activities have cut the Fair Oaks orchard road of and detour of nearly two miles is now necessary in order to reach the several ranches in the Fair Oaks district. Mir. Stewart called at the board of supervisors office yesterday with a request for some help toward giving these ranches a shorter outlet into Prescott and Skull valley, where most of the produce is hauled The auto truck has been begged several times be- tween Fair Oaks and Prescott and heavy rains of recent days have ren- dered the road very heavy and iT some places have washed deep gull lies across it.

CHAS. PITTS FATALLY
 SHOT AT SELIGMAN
(From Thursdays Daily )

Following a quarrel in her room,
 May Clark of Seligman shortly ai'
 CT midnight on Tuesday placed the
 muzzle of a six-shooter against the
 stomach of Charles Pitts and fired.
 Pitts was picked up from the floor mortally wounded. Death conquered in a race made for Los Angeles yesterday where skilled medical aid had been summoned before hand. The death occurred on board the train after half of the journey had been completed. The girl admits the shooting, but declares that the deed was done in self-defense.
 Pitts was found in the girls room few minutes after the shooting took place, but she made no effort to get away. She calmly surrend- cred the gun to the officials and told of an attempt by the wounded man to choke her The character of the house in which she resided did not feaze her in the least as far as her recital was concerned As near as can be learned there were no eye-witnesses to the act
 The Pitts are prominently and popularly known around Seligman and Ash Fork. William Pitts, a brother, is one of the largest cattle raisers in that section. James E. Pitts, of Phoenix, is a brother-in- law of Senator Ashurst. The news of the crime was at once communi- cated to the brothers Immediately arrangements were made for trans porting the victim to the coast city where medical aid was teiegraphed for and awaited the arrival of the train. The aim of the gun, however, had been too true.

. (From Wednesdays Daily)

(From Wednesdays Daily)
 Official announcement was yester- day made of the appropriation of $500 by the Board of Supervisors to the Camp Verde Fair Associa- ton, and of a S1,OOO appropriation to the Northern Arizona Fair As sociation. The latter amount is sim liar to that requested by the fair boomers which indicates the hearty cooperation of the county guardians with the Northern Arizona project.
 The $500 appropriation to the Camp Verde fair will probably eff feet a splendid improvement over the initial event and at the same time assure a more elaborate Verde exhibit at both the local and Phoe- nix fairs.
 The fair boomers are slated to at tend a special meeting of the City Council tonight for the purpose of securing cooperation Tomorrow night the fair association is sched- uled to hold its regular monthly meeting in the Chamber of Con- merce rooms.

Scotty Thompson. contracting on the Billy Boy group of mines, ar rived from the camp yesterday with samples of what is said to be very high grade gold ore developed few days ago in running the tunnel. A
 The shoot is different in character from any heretofore determined and was struck in the face of this working of l25 feet from the mouth A six-inch streak of the high grade was exposed, while the entire width of the tunnel carries a good grade of milling ore, of a sulphide condi- ton. Mir. Thompson expressed him self yesterday as elated over the showing, which wc5 developed unex- pectedly as th= work was going ahead in tunnel Gumber three. It is his belief that this determination is the most important that has ever been made in the property and the naturalization is interesting for the reason that this is the first time known in that field where such a Character of ore has been proven, al ,toagh the depth reached has been ccon- -olished at other mines nearby.
