A NEW SHOP EARLY IDEA.

Immediately after Thanksgiving, Mr..
Merchant, get your Christmas displays
ready.
One thing which keeps back the
traders, is the. lateness of the mer-
chants in displaying their holiday
stocks. The Christmas trade ought to
be on right now.
If the merchants would make dis
play Of at least part of their holiday
offerings, and let the people know it,
they would find many customers lay
ing in their gifts earlier, instead of
crowding everything into the last week
before Christmas.
A few merchants have adopted this
plan and they are reaping the benefit
of those purchases made by people
who wish to get an early start.
Why not make the holiday season a
long one, with less rush and roar, less
tired clerks, less distracted present
buyers, and more comfort and Joy all
around?

WHY EGGS ARE HIGH.

While many different causes nave
been assigned for the mounting cost OF
eggs, the best opinion seems to be
that responsibility cannot fairly be
lad upon the farmer, the middleman,
the corner grocery man, nor yet the
cold storage man. The principal Of
fender seems to be the American hen,
who at certain seasons of the year
goes on a strike.
The science of breeding has done
much to limit the duration of this
season of non-productiveness There
are some splendid breeds that give
promise of time when an egg every
day in the year will not seem an i'm
possible goal. On the other hand,
there are millions of fowls kept for
egg laying that do not pay for their
feed. In other words, the great
mass of producers are not scientific
producers. Instead of improving
their focks and selling or eating the
drones, they keep the good, bad and
Indifferent.
The first step toward reasonable
prices for eggs would seem to be the
education of the class which raises
eggs as a by-product, but which sup
consumption up to the possibilities
Of the business even as a side line.
And the place to begin with this class
Is with the farmers wife.
The boycott which is talked of in
various cities may result in temper
airy relief. If enough people quit US
ing eggs the price will fall. But the
only way to get permanent relief is
to raise a better breed of hens, and
the pioneers in this work are en-
titled to more encouragement than
they receive.
We haven't enough people raising
hens, and using the china eggs as a
coaXer. Most of us want some one
else to grow the hens andteach them
to lay at fabulously low prices while
we live in the city and do some kind
of clerical work.

Frank B. Clark has answered the
sudden call of death and his spirit
has crossed over the river from which
none return. His passing is to be re-
GREETED for it was untimely as he was
still a comparatively young man and
in all reasonable expectancy had many
years of usefulness ahead of him.
AS young man, Mr.. Clark was am
bilious to succeed in life and he made
good. Starting at the bottom Of the
ladder, he obtained employment as a
drug store clerk. He did something
beside waiting on customers and draw
ing his wages: he learned the bust
ness and it was not long before he
was the proprietor of his own store.
He was a lover of nature and enjoyed
time spent hunting in the woods and
on the rivers.
In 1907 he was appointed U. S. mar
shall for the southern district OF Iowa
by President Roosevelt. 1t is fine
tribute to him as regards his official
abilities and service that, as federal
official he served under three different
administrations, two republican and
one democratic, and was continued In
office after his term expired.
He was a member Of many organiza-
tons in which his kindly disposition
made him generally popular.

THANKSGIVING.


Today Is set aside as national hOll-
day for a public Thanksgiving. Its
observance as such had its inception
back in the days of the sturdy men and
women who braved the wilds of the
new world to find home wherein they
might worship God as they saw fit and
without molestation. They endured
hardships in winning religious freedom
but they weathered their storms and
in acknowledgment of the divine aid
and inspiration which made this posi-
bic, they fixed a day for a general
thanksgiving.
There is a growing danger that the
younger generations will come to look
upon Thanksgiving as a mere holiday
from work; as an occasion when the
festive board will be piled high with
turkey and good things to eat. This
will not be through failure OF any
church, for one and all they are doing
their best to impress upon their
charges the true meaning of the day.
Nevertheless, too many people will en-
ter into a hearty enjoyment OF the
days celebration and on the morrow
complain about life's little vexations.
Why not carry the real Thanksgiv-
ing spirit through the year and bear in
mind the many blessings that are dis
tributed each day. 1t is hard to con-
ceive of a person who has nothing to
be thankful for. There may be such
people, but they are few and far be-
tween. One can be thankful that he is
alive, that he has health, that he is
prosperous, that his family is well,
that the nation is at peace, and count
less other things.
Why, then try to return thanks for
all these blessings in one day. Let
every day be day of thanksgiving.
