Different Kinds of Hogs.

For the life of us says the Man
son Democrat we cannot hgure out
why pork is so unearthly high when
there are so many hogs in the coun-
try. There is the sugar hog, the car
seat hog, the coal profit hog the
Wholesale hog, the retailer hog, the
.vou'll4have-to-pay-the-price for-Ive-
got-a-cinch" hog, the hog that VIII
not buy Liberty bonds or help the
Red Cross, the hog that is taking ad-
vantage of the war crisis to get rich
in any old way he can, and numerous
other kinds of hogs. If hog cholera
should break out there would not be
more than one-third enough under
takers to plant the carcasses. YET
nork is high and probably will not go
any lower. The trouble may be that
the pork-packing trust is also made
up OF hogs, that are cholera immune
and not afraid OF the consequences
of their hoggishness.

WOMAN ASKS WHY
NOT C|GARLESS DAYS
Marshalltown Woman Wonders Why
the Men Don't do Something to
Cut Expenses Instead of
Asking the Women to
do it All.
UGLY MORNING DISPOSITIONS
ARE ANOTHER THING
Complaint About Cigars Going Up in
Price Doesn't Seem to Cut Much
Ice With the Smokers.

A tobaccoless day for the men has
been agitated by some of the women,
and a Marshalltown woman voices
her sentiment about the matter in the
Marshalltown Times Republican in
the following.
Il see the newspapers and mag
azines full of suggestions where and
how women may save for the war,
and l see that most of my friends
have signed the conservation pledge.
Also l take 1ote that the average
woman is figuring ways and means
of saving. But haven't seen pledge
paper circulated or signed where men
have agreed to abandon tobacco in
order to save for the war. have seen
appeals to men who use tobacco to
double their expenditures and when
buying for themselves to buy the
same quantity for the soldiers. And
lit appears that they do it, by the
newspaper reports of barrels filled by
those purchases"
"She went on: Il haven't been in
town of any size for years that hasn't
a half dozen or more cigar and to-
bacco stores. The druggists all sell
cigars. Some of the barber shops sell
them, am informed. All the restaur-
ants and hotels sell them / heard
MAJ the other day complaining that
the price of cigars had gone up, but
/ didn't hear him say anything about
cutting down his daily allotment"
Then she shifted and led with her
left: Suppose that 100000 men
smoke half million dollars worth
of cigars and tobacco a day. 1t would
take about four days abstinence to
raise that $35,OO0,000 for the Y. M.
c. A., wouldn't it? A years expendi-
ture would mighty near pay off the
first Liberty loan, wouldn't it? And
what do you men get out of 1T any
way? Sour stomachs, ugly morning
tdlSpOSltlOnS, ana al Offensive per-
sonal STENCIL"
"Wyh don't you lords of creation
do something yourselves? Why do
you not have cigarless days and to-
bacco-less days? While suggesting
SO much to us women, why don't you
organize a week of no tobacco, no
down town lunches, no treating, and
the like of that, AID turn the money
saved over to the Y. M. C. A., the
Belgians, the babies that are starv-
ing while you burn up good money
for nothing except arterial sclerosis?"
Well, there it is. Somebody talk
back to her.

DO YOUR SHOPPING
IN THE MORNINGS
Shop Early in the Day, Early i'm the
Week and Early in the Month, is
Counsel to DEBORAH Public.
BEST SERVICE
EARLY IN DAY
People from Surrounding Towns and
Rural Districts, of Necessity,
Must do Shopping in the
Afternoons.

The time-honored and excellent
slogan, SHOP EARLY is being am
plified and the new theory of efficient
Christmas buying is working for the
public good in a gratifying degree,
says the Cedar Rapids Gazette. Peo-
pie not only are urged to shop early
but they are especially advised of the
benefits to be derived from buying
early in the day, the earlier in the
forenoon the better. In the morning
hours the most efficient salespeople
are available for customers. In every
retail institution the same conditions
exists, in the small stores as we'll as
il the large ones. Despite the Christ
mas rush. which is beginning with a
vim this week, the clerks in many Of
the stores are practically unoccupied
a large part of the forenoon. In the
afternoon they are pushed to the linn
1t by the urgeIcies of the buying pub
lie. If patrons would do their shop
ping so far as it is possible in the ear
ly morning hours they will not only
get the benefit Of the most experience
ed statesmen and saleswome1 but they
likwise will have more time in which
to make their selections. They will
be able to look over a larger assert
ment of goods and find wider varie-
ty from which to choose A woman,
for instance, may obtain an hour Of
her favorite clerks time in the fore
noon when later in the day she would
mot ask him to give her more than
ten minutes perhaps in which to
supply her the goods she wishes to
purchase.
1t is pointed out that of necessity
the people from surrounding towns
and the rural districts must do their
shopping in the afternoon. They are
unable to come to the city early in
the day in most instances. People re-
siding in the city as rule can do
their shopping in the forenoon just
as readily as in the afternoon or eve
ming.
1t is not in discouragement of the
"shop early in the season" theory
that the early in the day. sugges-
ton is made. 1t is just as important
as it ever was that customers make
their purchases as far il advance Of
Christmas day as possible. The better
bargains and the higher grade of
goods naturally will be obtained by
the early-in-the-season shopper
However, one may shop early in the
day as well as early in the month. If
one waits ultil the crowded period
of the afternoon, every salesperson in
a store NAV be occupied, causing the
customer the Inconvenience of wait
Ing. Then the customer may be oblig-
ed to accept the services of an extra
an inexperienced person, where IL
the buyer had shopped early in the
day thoroughly proficient salesman
or salsswoman might have been avail
able.
