Christmas Shopping.

Harrison merchants have all done
their Christmas shopping early this
year, and already a number OF fine
holiday stocks are on display in the
city. The shop early" idea has
beenobServed little more each year
until now the buyers of Christmas
gifts are realizing how much better
they can be waited on, how much
more time the clerks have, how
much nicer the things are to select
from because stocks have not been
picked over, " and how much better
it is in every other way than to
wait until the last two or three
days before Christmas
In order to aid in this reform the
TIMES will issue a special edition for
Christmas shoppers next week
which will be full of information
calculated to aid in the selections of
Christmas purchases to suit any
size pocket.book.
The next two weeks will be busy
ones for Harrison stores and they
are prepared for the rush. Study

your purchases without loss Of time

DR.. Brough advocated a prison
reform law and declared himself as
ardent good roads advocate.
In spite of the fact that the rate
of taxation for general revenue pur-
poses was raised from 1.75 mills in
1905 to 2.25 mills in 1913, our
State next October will be over
100000 90 in debt; warrants are
now worth a maximum of only 94
cent on the dollar, and we are placed
in the humilatlng position OF having
to buy our supplies at eXtortionate
credit prices. Ultimately the burden
of this ruinous credit system must
be borne by the taxpayers, who in
the meantime must suffer in
consequence
"Furthermore, ! am unaltcrably

general revenue purposes; for |

NEXT THURSDAY At CaPPS
Meeting Of the Farmers OF Boone County
for Organization

The past season has demonstrated
very forcibly the need of a more
efficient system in the marketing of
our farm products, particularly the
peach crop. Thousands OF dollars
were lost to the growers of this
county on this one crop alone
Many of the growers did not realize
even their harvesting expenses on
their 1915 crop. Did the prices the
consumers paid in the cities justify
this loss to the growers Taking
the consumers prices which he pays
for general farm products such as
our grains, beef, pork poultry, eggs,
fruit, etc, do you as a producer
believe you are getting your just
share of that price? In other words
are YOU satisfied with your present
conditions? If you are then we
have no further message for you.
But if, on the other hand, you
have a progressive spirit and be
lieve that the farmers as a class
need to push to the front ranks and
be recognized along with the rest of
the business world; not only recog-
nIzed, but to demand in a tone OF
voice that cannot be misunderstood,
their rights as the largest factor in
the business world to-day, then we
are going to ask you to Join us in
our efforts to solve the most vital
problems which confronts the
farmer as a business man. We be-
lieve you will agree with us that
none of us can alone as anindividual
grower and seller afford to attempt
to reach the deep causes which
undcrlie our present difficulties.
Then it must take an organized
effort on the part of all of us whose
interests are in common.
This wave of organization is
already sweeping over many of the
more progressive farming COM
muuities with gratifying results to
the grower. Do you not believe it is
duty we owe ourselves, our
families, our community as well as
our posterity to join our fellow
workers in this organization cause?
Let us get out of the old rut and
make step forward. Our govern
ment is spending millions of dollars
each year to hel p us to advance.
Can we afford to overlook these
opportunities? We do not believe
we can and for that reason are ask
ing all of those people of Boone
County interested in this cause to
attend on Thursday, December 10th
Lunch will be served at noon by the
ladies of the neighborhood. A
special program is being planned
which will include some prominent
speakers throughout the state.

MINING NOTES

Of men at work in the mine
Seventy-6ve per cent of the zinc
ore mined in Missouri and Arkansas
now is being used in the manutact-
ure of munitions of war.
L. r. Westrich has taken over
both the lola and Tar Kiln mines
and will open operations at once on
these developed properties.
As if the ordinary boom for zinc
ore were not enough, the German
and Belgian governments have both
decided to make their small COINS

The Virginia Jay, a high grade
jack proposition on Crooked Creek
in this county, is reported by its
operators as ready for a mill, the
face of ore in sight being in every
way satisfactory.
In some instances the Arkansas
zinc mines yielded profits when ore
was from 500 to $40 a ton, and
now with ore from $40 to 500 we
should not be surprised to find rich
men amongst our miners.
The North Arkansas field shipped
during the month of November just
past sixty-nine carloads, or over
1000 tons of ore At SIS per ton,
which is a low average, this would
give US an income from this source
of $150,O00.
Another great chamber of free
carbonate was exposed by a single
shot at the Morning Star mine last
week. As result the shipments
this week include many chunks of
ore as large as two men could put
on the wagons.
c. NJ. Fenton of Zinc, who is
operating the Baughman mine is
making a ton OF high grade silicate
every day, besides quantity of
mill dirt. The latter he is piling up,
shipping the free ore.
Contract was let this week for a
concentrating mill of Cotton ca
pacitv to be built at the Marble
City mine, ten miles south of Harri-
son The company, which includes
Messrs. f. NJ Wise and Harry
Littleton, of the M. & n A. railroad
has prospected the property ex-
tensively since taking the lease in
August last and has perhaps a
thousand tons of ore already on its
dumps. The openings include an so

and shatting.
Work has been started on the

The defeat Of Russia's Carpathian

were forced back into the Car

be taken to avenge the two defeats
Austria has suffered at the hands OF
