SHOP EARLY.

Three weeks remain before Christ
mas. During that time vast sums
will be expended in the purchase of
presents and other merchandise suit
able to the season. The purchases
are inevitable. The making of them
is both a pleasure and a necessity.
It makes some difference to every
body when they are made.
Our local stores are filled with sea-
sonable goods Of every kind. The
stocks have been laid in with special
reference to the holiday trade. Our
merchants expect to do their share
of trade before the holidays begin.
But if the work; is all crowded into
the last few days before Christmas,
the results cannot be satisfactory to
either merchant or customer. The
customer cannot be given the atten-
ton during rush that is possible
when the conditions are more nearly
normal, and there is always the pos
ability that articles which one has
expected to get will be found to be
out of stock if the purchase is de-
ferred until the last moment. There
are a score Of good reasons for shop
ping early, and not one for putting
off the purchases.
Get busy and do your shopping

TORPEDO WILL FOLLOW SHIP
Magnetic Torpedo Is Latest Invention
of Young Observation-Disclosures by
Mass of Metal.

The inventive mind of young Amer
lea has become proverbial. Its latest
invention, and one in which belliger-
ent Europe is greatly interested, is a
magnetic torpedo which is attracted
by any great mass of metal, so that
when it approaches the ship which is
it's target it WIN turn and follow the
unfortunate vessel in spite of all at
tempts to dodge it. This apparent nyp-
notism is caused by two wire magnetic
coils four inches in diameter which
are attached to two nickel arms pro-
jecting at right angles from the sides
of the torpedo. The presence of any
large mass of metal affects the cur
rent passing through these coils. which
in turn affects the motor controlling
the rudder, SO that the torpedo will
continually turn toward its target, no
matter how often it may dodge

TEACH CHILDREN IN MAINE

fit of Lighthouse Children Out

Maine has an unusual number of
lighthouses because of her irregular
coast and she has to make special
plans for the education Of lighthouse
children who are out of reach of
schools. Some lighthouse stations are
so situated that the children who live
in them can attend a nearby school,
but there are ten or twelve stations
where the boys and girls are entirely
cut off from the usual chances for an
education. For these. saws Journal
of Education Of Boston, a travelling
teacher has been provided. She goes
from one station to another, spending
a few weeks with the children and
the mothers. and when she leaves she
provides outlines Of work and study
for the mother to carry out. By cor
respondence and written tests she can
keep some hold of the work, and re.
turn visits are lighthouses" in them

fought over again and on broader
lines. And the Republican party by
virtually setting the seal of its approx
al on the inordinate ambitions that
were once entertained by those politi-
cal judges, John Mclean, Salmon P

MORE POSTAL SAVINGS.
Depositor May Now Have an Account

Larger postal savings deposits will
now be accepted at the post0flice. This
is made possible by an important
amendment to the postal savings act
Just approved by President Wilson. 4
postal savings depositor may now
have an account amounting to 81 900
upon which interest will be paid.
Formerly $500 was the maximum
amount he could have to his credit.
This enlargement of postal savings
facilities viii be very gratifying to
thousands of depositors who have al
ready reached the old $500 limit and
are anxious to entrust more of their
savings to Uncle Sam. Another feature
Of the amendment that will avoid
further embarrassment to the public
and to postal officials is the doing away
with the limit on the amount that
could be accepted from a depositor
month"; Under the old law only 500
could be deposited in a calendar
month. The amendment abo3ishes this

system has already proved signal
success as is shown by the fact that
more than half n million depositors
