WHY SHOP EARLY?

Only five more days to do your Christmas shop
ping Shop early! But why?
Because of the annoying consequences of late
shopping
Take the matter of sending gifts to friends out
of town by mail parcel post for example:
Late shopping means late mailing. Late mail
ing means jam in the postoffice, congueston in
the mail car and in the delivery wagons. Packages
bought late and mailed late may arrive days, even
weeks, after Christmas.
Ask your postmaster what he thinks about this
point He can tell you lot of Illuminating things
about the result Of late shopping and late mailing of
gifts
Take the matter of gift-selection Shop late
and your choice is always limited to a depleted,
pawed-over assortment of gift goods. 1t is ham
pered by the WEAKNESS of the clerks by the rush OF
last-minute buyers and by your own necessity for
haste.
Ask any merchant, any clerk for few re-
marks on these points. They'll unanimously tell you
top shop early to shop early in the day. and to shop
now and get it over and done with.
And that's our best advice to you, even if you're
thinking of sending us a red necktie.
Shop early! Tomorrow!

MEX. BANDITS
ROB STORE
HOLD-UP TWO
PEDESTRIANS

A daring robbery and holdup was
staged last evening about s O'Clock
on Main street, when the bicycle shop
of Guy Uruquharte was entered and
robbed of several guns, and two
young men were held up and robbed
of valuables and sum of money.
The young men were passing the
shop, when their attention was ar
rested by seeing someone in the
place at that late hour. They passed
to the back of the store, calling to
the men inside. They were answered
by command to hold up their hands.
Thinking a joke was being perpetrat-
ed upon them, they laughingly re-
fused, but were very soon convinced
it waws the real thing when guns in
the hands of the masked robbers were
showed in their faces.
They were then relieved of all OF
their valuables, together with a small
sum of money. The robbers, who are
said to have been Mexicans, then dis
appeared.
Upon investigation it was found
that the store had been entered by a
rear window and rifle, shotgun and
a AS automatic had been taken.
The officers are on the trail of
the culprits but at this time no trace
of them has been reported.

AGED WORKER
FOR IRRIGATION
DIST. DROWNED

W. G. Sayles, an employe of the
Imperial Irrigation district, met
death by drowning last night when
he accidentally slipped off the gate
walk at Rositas dam, and probably
while adjusting the gate.
Coroners' jury, summoned by DR..
F. w. Peterson, brought in verdict
of accidental drowning, but placed
the blame for the fatality on the
lack of adequate protection. It recon-
mended that adequate protection"
be Immediately installed in the shape
of protection, both to the walks and
fencing"
. Owing to the possibility that the
man may have dropped to the water
below after suffering some heart or
other physical attack, the district Of
ficials have requested that an au-
topsy be performed. The request is
under consideration by the coroner.
Sayles was 70 years old.
Irrigation district officials disputed
the claim that no adequate protection
was afforded and point to an iron
railing protecting the wal kacross the
dam.

the dead man.
The original alteration centered
about Trapper and another negro
nicknamed "Scotty." and is declared
to have eliminated in show of
guns with threats by Trapper to "get
his man." Jones is then said tn have

'C,ARFWE0S0N
AWAY.
FROM ATTACK.
0FPNUEM0N|A'
Members County Exemp.
ton Board Succumbs to
Lung Disease, Relapse of
Influenza.

Carl Arfwedson, superintendent of
the county hospital and member of
the Imperial County Exemption
Board, died this morning at 4:2O, Of
pneumonia, which developed during a
relapse from a severe attack of in
fluenza, which he had recently suf-
fered.
Although the disease of the lungs
was the immediate cause of his TAX
ing, Mr.. Arfwedson's close friends to-
day declared that overwork in hand
ling the "flu' situation at the coun-
ty institution and the demands made
on his time and strength at the draft
board were really responsible for his
death.
"Mr. Arfwedson, after experiencing
a very severe attack of influenza,
which left him weak and with parts
of his body partially paralyzed,
jumped back into the harness too
soon simply because of his feeling of
patriotism and public-spiritedness,"
said one of his friends.
"The result was natural reaction
which eliminated in his death. He
was on the job every minute in aid
ing in handling the war problems
coming up on the draft board and
at the hospital. The recurrence of
the. influenza with the consequent
heavy demands made on the county
institution, meant renewed effort on
his part, so, in sense, he gave his
life that others might live"
Although his physical condition
was almost alarming before he was
stricken with the fatal disease, Mr..
Arfwedson remained on the job
against the judgment of his family
and his doctors and earned the praise
of the county and government Off
cials for his work in the war and cpl
demic situations.
Carl E. Arfwedson was born in Lon
don, England, forty-six years ago, the
son of w. A. Arfwedson, native OF
Sweden, who had gone to the Brit
ish Isles to represent some Scandlna-
vian commercial interests. When
still in his middle teens, he emgSat-
ed to this country, having been pre-
ceded a few months on this trip by
his brother.
He settled in Los Angeles county,
where he became valued citizen. AL
though busily devoting himself to his
ranch, he spent much time in advan-
cling projects for the public good. For
twelve years he was member OF
the board of directors of the state
reform school at Whittier.
Coming to the Imperial Valley
about ten years ago, he became en-
gagged in business. Two and one
half years ago he was appointed su-
perintendent Of the county hospital
and has been a valued executive OF
that institution, being mainly respOn-
sible for it's present efficiency.
With the outbreak of the war he
wa sappointed by President Wilson to
the draft exemption board, and had
devoted a large portion of his time
to the duties of this body. He is
survived by the widow, Mrs. Mary
T. Arfwedson; son, c. G. G. ART
wedson, of Whittier; a; brother, C..
D. Arfwedson, of Glendale, and an
aunt, Miss Amy Miller, who resides
in England.
The funeral services will be held to-
morrow afternoon from the Episcopal
church, with the rector, DR.. Darnielle,
officiating. The interment at Ever
green cemetery will be in charge OF
the Masonic lodge.
