EARLY CHRISTMAS
BUYING

Christmas is supposed to be time
of peace on earth. good will to
men. In actual practice, the holiday
period is one of misery, nerve strain,
headaches and weary limbs to many
thousands of people. It is not pos
sible for human beings to do a
months work in a week.
1t is bit of folly for every one to
try to do certain thing all at once.
There are of course many people who
never see an unmortgaged dollar In
their purse. They may perhaps not
be able to buy Christmas gifts ahead
of the grand scrimmage. But the
majority are not thus up against the
wall. They could just as we'll start
out tomorrow, make all Christmas
purchases within day or two. mail
or express their presents at once, and
distribute the business evenly over
the period remaining before the holt
day.
People ought to see the necessity

men in the country who also spent
an hour reading poetry was not

Among women the love for poetry
Is probably as strong as ever. The
newspapers print more verses than

to some extent they satisfy the hui

The writing of poetry Is not to be
commended to young men as a means

newspaper office when they might

Perhaps the reason why men do
not read poetry more is that the
Key note OF the day is achievement.
Men like to read accounts OF big

Consul General Hurst writes from

that up to the present potash has

mercial quantities. 1t has been prov
ed, however, that potash does exist
near Barcelona, that II Is fairly am
enable to refining. and that the de
posits may become basis OF a
world trade, with Barcelona as an ex-
port center. Examination and tests
thus far have indicated only enough
potash for consumption In Spain, but
they have been 30 limited that It Is
impossible to estimate the quantity
and grade of the deposits and the diff
fculties that may have to be under
taken In mining for this salt.
1t is presumed from the varied
data gathered that the potash beds
are extensive and rich and likely TO
have an important bearing on agri-
culture and certain highly important
industries, both in the
peninsular and abroad. What Is now
needed is scientific and extensive
survey OF the regions in that part OF
Spain where marked traces OF potas.
SUM salts have been found. For
