ADVERTISE THEM EARLY.

The practice of buying holiday
goods and mailing them early is GER
tain to be followed more generally
this year than ever before. System
attic efforts to this end are being en-
couraged by the postoffice department
with view of preventing congestion
of the mails during the holiday sea
son, and it may fbe confidently an
ticipated that these efforts will bear
fruit.
Early buying carries with ii as
necessary coneomitant early adver-
Using by merchants having holiday
goods for sale. Trade follows the ad-
vertising, and it is obviously to the
advantage of the merchants to have
this trade distributed over as many
weeks as possible An early trade
can be secured by the simple expedi-
ent of telling the public what they
can do at this stage of the season. In
this way merchants can avoid hiring
as much extra help as would be re-
quired otherwise, and the public can
avoid hasty buying, which is the most
common cause of dissatisfaction.
Merchants would do well to advertise
their holiday goods early, and the
buying public will find both pleasure
and profit in accepting the invitations
thus extended. ~

LANDS RESTORED TO PUBLIC.

Last month recommendation were
made to the President by Secretary
Lane of the Interior Department, that
have resulted in a net decrease OF
200,510 acres in the outstanding with
drawals in public-land States. Nearly
265, 900 acres of land previously with
drawn were restored to the public
domain, and additional Withdrawals
of about $4,000 acres were made. The
largest restoration was one involving
nearly 242,500 acres of coal land in
Montana. In Utah 1880 acres OF
withdrawn lands were likewise CLASH
fed as to their coal value and re-
stored. The Withdrawals made during.
the month were all for the reserya-
tion of water-power rights, the largest
being nearly $1,000 acres in Oregon
and a little over 1000 acres each in
Idaho and Washington, but in the lat
ter two states the Withdrawals were
more than counterbalanced by restor-
atoms of over 1000 acres of lands
which investigation by the Geological
Survey proves to have no value for
power
As a result of this work the with
drawals now outstanding include
somewhat less than 6S,000,000 acres,
all but about 100000 acres of which
are land that are awaiting examina-
ton as to their coal character. The
progress tat has been made in class
ification of supposed coal land is well
illustrated by the fact that although
about 5S,000,000 acres await classified
ton, nearly 100000 acres have al
ready been classified as to their coal
value and restored to entry. OF this
total, l8,590,000 acres have been class
flied as coal lands and valued al near
ly $761, 100000.
Great progress has likewise been
made in the classification of lands as
to their irrigability as required in the
administration of the enlarged-home-
stead act. More than 203,000,000 acres
in the arid and semiarid states have
SO far been classified as nonirrigable
and thus rendered available for entry
in homesteads of 800 acres each.
The Oskaloosa herald., 1913-11-27

fresh air and food were conveyed to
him. The fresh air may be said to
have saved his life.
The rescue of this miner has its
lesson for the people of this state,
who, now that the winter Is begin
ming, win close their bedrooms, to
exclude the cold air and therefore the
fresh air. They will starve the blood
land instead of supply Of oxygen
there will be supplied a vitiated air
which viii produce In their bodies a
high susceptibility to tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis and pneumonia are re-
Ispiratory diseases which destroy in a
most profligate manner many human
Lives. To rescue these persons who
foolishly entomb themselves will not
be accompanied by thrilling physical
efforts but by the very commonplace
lopening of bedroom windows and
the admission of fresh air.
The Department on tuberculosis or
Iowa urges the people Of this state,
who are not already trained to the
value of fresh air, that bedroom win
dows be open wide throughout the
entire winter during the sleeping
hours. This will save life, and will
rescue many who would otherwise be
victims of the white plague, from a
death worse than to be entombed in
la mine. A vast amount of fresh air
is required hourly by human being,
and the important thing is to have
constantly admitted to the sleeping
apartments fresh air.

DISTRIBUTING CHARITIES,

Commenting on a system that Is to
be tried out In Oskaloosa and Mahas-
ka county, under the direction of the
Social Service League, the Fairfield
Ledger says:
"Poweshief county employs a wo-
man to direct the expenditure OF
funds for the relief Of the poor and
she spends all her time at the work.
She makes a personal investigation
OF every application and knows that
aid Is really deserved before she
gives Il. The average Iowa county
expends from $4,000 to $4,000 an
nually for the relief OF the poor out
side of the county home. II anybody
is employed TO direct the expenditures
Of this money 1t Is d man who Is paid
so little that he cannot afford TO make
thorough Investigation OF the cases
which come before him. A business
agent, man OF woman, would save
the county money in the end, give
sust as much aid as now to the de-
serving poor and cnt or lot Of
leeches."

MAKING Am APPLE MARKEr..

Over twenty cars of apples will
have been shipped from Fairfield
this season when those now in cold
storage are placed on the market.
AS a rule they have all been apples
Of high quality, but market has also
been found for windfalls and culls.
One full car load, which would have
been waste under ordinary conditions,
was shipped to cider manufacturer
at Des Moines and brought good
price to those who furnished the
fruit. It is probable that press will
be installed at Fairfield the coming
season, in order that summer apples
and those which are not really mer-
charitable can be disposed of at a
profit. The Fairfield Ledger predicts
that In the near future the apple is
going TO be one Of the sources of re-
venue which can be figured on In the
Jefferson county farm.

UNDER THE COUNTY ENGINEER.

Hampton Chronicle: Good roads in
Franklin county are fast becoming a
reality instead of dream to be full
filled. The work done on the county
highways this summer makes splen-
did showing and stands up we'll be-
side the work of other counties. I'm
der the direction of County Engineer
"A. @. Baker, who acts under the sug-
gestion and the approval of the state
highway commission, four permanent
bridges of steel and concrete have
been built this summer, twelve con-
crete culyerts have been constructed
and ten miles of permanent roadway
are nearing completion
or the 1,104.25 miles of public high
way in Franklin county, 1875 miles
or 14.37 per cent have been taken
into the county road system. Thirty
miles Of permanent roads have been
surveyed and forty miles of prelim-
mary work has been done throughout
the county. or the ten miles Of road
nearing completion, portion is To-
Gated southeast of Geneva, another
near the county line north OF Ackley,
another two miles east of Burdette
and another six miles northwest Of
Hampton. The construction of the
road varies in different localities. but
the general plan consists OF grading
the dirt to the survey, rounding 1t to
shed water and then applying sur
face that win make II hard and
smooth. In sections OF the county
where gravel can be obtained nearby,
this viii furnish material for the sur
face and where crushed rock may
easily be obtained that will be used.
