Christmas Shopping.

There is need than this year of ing against delay in Christmas shopping. There will be shoppers than usual Times better than they have been for many Christmases There will be such throngng of the shops and such clogging of the mails that the late will likely be not served at all Thousands of Christmas packages will arrive too late.
 The merchants of Phoenix have made unusual pre- parations for Christmas. Their stocks large and varied but variety be inexhaustibe. We doubt very much whether the preparation the merchants have made has been adequate for the greater volume of trade. There is dapger that the late will find the selections they desire. The better bargains will be gone.
 Then there is always the advantage in early Christmas shopping of obtaining peace and comfort early possible No can be entire ly peaceful and comfortable while putting off day to day the performance of Christmas rites.
 Christmas shopping may be either agreeable a disagreeable task As in the of most tasks that depends upon how goes about it. When he goes it lash of time and necessity is ways disagreeable and usually not well performed. But when it is undertaken cheerfully andin time it is robbed of it's disagreeabe features.

But that is not revelation Tens of thousands of persons who yet alive testimonials the fact that one can live forty cents day less What is needed is another squad showing how get forty a day to live Then many embarrassed housewife will rise up and call 1t blessed.
 Forty cents day for a family of five equals the wages of many day laborer There are the addition al items of clothing taxes fuel and the many other requirements less nsistent than food.
 This is a scratching of an eruption counter rritant It only teaches how may approach starvation comfortably how the level of living may be reduced for those for whom level already very hgh when higher but not extravagant level is what social workers tell US they are trying to achieve.

FIELDER JONES IS 45

Fielder Alanson Jones will pass his forty-fifth milestone tomorrow, but at the moment of anlbling to press nothing has been heard of any plans for a great celebration of the anni- versary in either St. Louis, shingie- house, Pa., or Portland, Ore. As all educated people know. Mister Jones is the pilot of the St. Louis Browns but he hasn't piloted them high enough in the American league stand- ing to arouse any uncomfortable er- thusiasm among the ians of the Mound City. Shinglehouse gets into the story because 1t was in that north- ern Pennsylvania village that the great Fielder was born on August 1ss 1871. The Oregon metropolis is his present home, and there he spends the gelid months managing his lum- Der business and playing pinochle. bridge, checkers and other manly sports. While the consolidated Brownies and Terriers haven't smash- ed any holes through the Americea League lid, Jones still has large fol- lowing in St. Louis who believe that he will yet come across with the win- ming combination. Not in 1e16--the most confirmed and chronic optimists have abandoned that hope-but in 1917 or maybe year later. The gruff and taciturn Jones. who made the s'hitless wonders of Chicago one of the greatest baseball machines of ball. dom, must still be reckoned among the great leaders of the diamond.

AUGUST. Your matron beauty wrapped in veils Oe soft mist tempered by the sun, And crowned with golden yellow corn Round which the silken tassels run, nour tanned arms filled with ripening
 crops. N To turn to heaped up riches soon. And flushed with labor of the fields, I We hail you, month of the harvest moon. Y The heat lies heavy in your eysA
 And hangs upon your fragrant

 Its faint haze glistens in your hair,
 From dewy morn to drowsy noon, It noistens smiles upon your lips.
 You languid month of the harvest

 And laxily the warm airs croon, sAA summer bids you fill her task.

TEACHING CLEANLINESS.

Observers of the New York infant paralysis epidemic emphasize the close relation between dirty streets and tenements and the spread of the dis ease. Soap and water are not fla vorable to, this contagion or any oth- CT. There is . lesson here for every community. While the ordinary town has no such slums as those of New York to constitute disease peril, the problems of dirt and disease exists to a certain extent everywhere.
 A love of cleanliness is inborn w1th many people. They may be poor in this worId's goods, but their little cot- tase is scrubbed and combed until the floors wear thin. Many doctors bills are saved in such homes.
 Unfortunately there are many oth- CTS who seem to live content and joy ous amid dirt and disorder. Such . home is . fertile breeding place of germs. and disease peril for whole neighborhoods. Anyone who sug- gests cleanup Is resented as offici- ous.
 Cleanliness can be taukht in school life and it is quite as essential as. arithmetic or grammar. If the chill dren from shiftless homes can Dc made to feel that their dirty faces and clothes are a far worse disgrace than the most ragged and tattered garments, life long blessing to themselves and the community has been conferred They can be made to envy and admire cleanliness as something that is associated with comfortable living and the sood things of life.
 Once that impression is lodged In a child's mind, the youngster wiif somehow manage to make e present. able appearance in the school roonas The arithmetic and geography may be forgotten, but the visible object lesson of cleanliness sticks.

Alas! The joys that fortune brings
 Are trif1ing and decay,
 And those who prize the paltry things
 More trifling still than they"
 When thousands of young men the country over quit their jobs to aid the cause of Uncle Sam, their sisters and their sweethearts jumped into their places to hold down their positions until the boys returned. No one said them nay, but whether or not the move was a wise one is story yet to be told.
 There is a sort of fascination in making money, the result of which Is never afterward wholly overcome. It will be an eye opener to many a sweet heart as to the real value of the stf- pend her Jack receives to compensate him for his hours of toll and give her an insight as to her future prospects when they wed.
 Other girls will make the discovery that it is not necessary to wed that their support may be transferred from their fathers shoulders to husbands, for they are proving capable of mak- ing their own way. JacK will find very practical business young woman awaiting him on his return, who will wish to make a bargain with him that she may still hold that position after marriage, he finding another as best he can.
 The girl who discovers her value as a moneymaker is not apt to make a clinging-vine sort of heartmate. Her Independence will assert itself. She will let Jack understand that she Is doing him the greatest of favors to throw up a good paying position to enter a little flat, to bake. wash and housekeep for him for her board and clothes He will be obliged to shower all the love his heart is capable of ex- pressing to keep here there contented.
 The girl entirely dependent upon her caprices of ill humor or i'll treatment. Such a wife has horror of being thrown upon the world, realizing her utter helplessness.
 The wife who has once had the taste Of moneymaking will not stand abuse. drunkenness or 1aziness in a spouse Facing the world has no terrors for her. Rather than lower the standard she has set for herself and for him as well, she will go back to her posi- tion and the comfort Of earning money to keep out of debt She who has known the power of exchanging her time and ability for a fair wage ever afterward rebels at the humilfa- ton of having cash for her needs grudgingly handed her in small pit- tances by close-fisted, penurious hus- band.
 The girl who knows what it is to work hard for her dollars is the one who Is frugal in their expenditure. It is great education-one of life's 1es- sons she is not likely to forget She is not likely to marry for the sake of a home. With her it is the giving up of great opportunities probably for love, and for love alone, when she weds. The knowledge that if need be

Hungary to Take
 Steps to Prevent
 Postwar Exodus

Budapest, Hungary. Aug. 12.- Hungary. probably more than any European nation. is going to have to erect restrictive barriers against the emigration of it's inhabitants to Amer ica after the war, in the opinion of Dr. Gustav Gratz, member of Parlia- ment and director of the Hungarian Manufacturers Association. At the same time if the United States hopes entirely to escape from an inunda- ltion of so-called "cheap labor." 1t must cooperate and itself put up barriers which shall help to keep out the thousands who, Dr. Gratz believes will want and try to forsake their ra- tive country and its heavy problems
 Dr. Gratz declares that he knows from personal investigation that the tendency to emigrate from agricultu- ral Hungary will be in strong con- trast to the tendency in industrial Austria and Germany to stay at home.
 The cause for this tendency of course, he explains, is to be found in the fact that the agricultural worker is not going to be so fortunately sit- uated after the war as the industrial man, especially as the worker in Ger many and great part of Austria who is probably going to find plenty of work at wages high enough to off- set the present and prospective high prices.
 Yet, he believes, there will be some tendency on the part of the skilled la borer to go across. the new home. His hope that this Is going to be prevent ed during a. critical period in Europe lies not only in possible legislation here, but in the repeated indications from America that. she would like to check the number of emigrants com i,o tr bar

URGES BAN ON OPINIONS

Picking, Aug. 12.-The Rev. B. w. Thwing, chief of the International Reform Bureau, has submitted pro- hlbitfon of opium. On account of the monarchical movement, the late President Yuan Shi-kai found it nec- essary to levy the opium taxes at shanghai and in other prominent cen- ters for the purpose of financing the movement. As the term stipulated in the opium agreement will soon ex- pire, MT. Thwing suggests that a mandate should be issued abolishing all offices for opium tax and rein forcing prohibition throughout the republic.
