Three Good Reasons
Why You Should Do Your Christmas Shopping NOW.
Wise buyers are already doing their Christmas shoppin

wise buyers already doing their Christmas shopping
They are doing because they know that by shopping
early they get better selection and better service and
able to do their buying under comfortable conditions
Those are three good for making holiday pur
ciases NOW.
At no time between and Christmas will there be
wider choice Of goods As the holiday trade increases
some OF the lines the most popular Ones will be exhausted
and your inquiry for those goods if you delay will be met
with the discouragng reply "An sold The early buyer
gets the first choice
The question Of service for the holiday trade great
problem You materially help the merchants and espe
cy you make easier for the clerks by shopping
early.
The natural element of ndecison buying gifts adds
materially to the problem of store service It takes three
times long to decide what to buy as to buy it. and
Christmas shoppers usually make their decisions at the
store counters.
you buy early, you will help yourself, the merchant
you paronze and the sespeope whose holiday tasks are
difficult under the most favorable conditions.
And you shop early you will avoid the great crowds
who pay no attention to advice but put off their purchases
until the last day
you arrange it. do your buying in the early morn
ing hours just after the shops have opened You can get
more attention then than during the hours and every
body including yourself efficient and pleasant after
good nights rest
The holiday buying of this year promises to eclipse all
records Never there wonderful display of goods
Never so much evidence of prosperity Buying has already
begun with rush Yor will save time and comfort by
doing yours at once

Urges Back Pay For Soldiers.

re the Editor OF THE TINES:
May I take up q small part of your
paper to ask the people OF Mont
Eomery county IL they will use their
every effort to see that the soldiers,
sailors and marines who served be-
tween the declaration OF war in April.
1911. and the signing Of the peace
treaty got their back pay due them.
am not going to call il a bonus as we
do not want II called that. AS you
know. all wages were doubled after
the war started, except the soldiers
pay. There has been introduced in
our National Congress Cor soon will
bel q bill to pay every eX-seryice man
of the war now, hack pay at the rate
of thirty (s3e) dollars per month for
the time they were in the United
States service.
Now. we only consider that a fair
proposition for the boys. They only
received thirty (s30) dollars a month
while they were in service, and out of
Gst they had to pay SIS for allotment,
"a average OF 81 for insurance, leay-
Ing them only IS for themselves.
I trust that all good citizens OF
Montgomery county will write TO their
Congressman and urge him to do all
IN his power to help pass this very
much needed legislation.

Half a Day For the King of the
BelgianS- Eleven Minutes
For ArmiStice Day
By EARL GOODWIN


The Editors mail is working overtime today, and has
lot OF fine suggestions think the most striking
the thought contained In the letter of 'F T. w., who
draws comparison between the way the city celebrated
Armsce Day and the way celebrated the arrival of the
King of The Belgans. He says:
T To The Editor of The Times:
November H. 1918, meant among other things that
millions of anxious minds relieved from their strain
and yet within the short space of year. but eleven
minutes officially devoted to the commemoration of
that day. November IL should much as July 4h
to the people of the United States and seems that Con
gess must have been taking unusual sound nap
let such day go by without having declared it legal
holiday, not only for this year. but for all future time.
1.-The eleven minutes before IL o'clock set aside for
the purpose of singing patriotic songs in the Government
Offices was ignored by the majority of the employees
especially the exserce men, who regarded the entire per
formance ridiculous And well they might for surely
such day should have universal recognition
"When the King of Belgium visited Washington, the
school children given half holiday that they might
sing for him when he visited Congress November H. they
were given an 11-minute suspension of studies.
If this is proper way to observe the anniversary
OF day which meant and still much TO every
citizen of the United States then trust may be paroned
for taking up your time and space"
An easy way to get through the days work. you may
say by simply copying mans letter and putting head
line it. But the letter contains idea much better
than any had and think it deserves all the prominence
it get

Can you tell me what / should

and ask her what / have done to

consider that she doesn't care for
me as she did? 1 care just as much

Write the girl a nice little

may be just as anxious to hear
from you as you are to see her.
There's only one way to get any

Charges Waste In Lighting

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
! have observed throughout the
entire city and particular in the
southeast section an utter disregard
for economy in the lighting system at
present employed. In many instances
IL is evident that the lamplighters
start upon their rounds from two to
three hours before actual darkness.
AS a matter OF fact virtually every
lamp in the city is equipped with an
adjustment. whereby instant illum-
ination may be obtained by merely
upward pressure of a wire suspended
from the lamp mantle.
In view OF the recent agitation
caused by the coal famine many tons
of valuable fuel could be saved daily

H E AR y A I'd SEEN

The Glastonbury Thorn, one of
the living traditions of the Cathe-
dral Close at Mt st. Adams Off i
may coin a term), generally blooms
at Christmas time. But it made a
great effort this year and actually
bloomed the day II. r. H, the
Prince of Wales, went to the Cathe-
dral to dig into the ground with a
spade and plant tree.
Rt. Rev. Alfred Harding, d. D.,
Bishop of Washington, put the
bloom in a silver box and presented
it to the prince.
That much is for history. But
here's what interested the boys and
girls of those two fine schools con-
nected with the Cathedral. After
the prince had planted the tree he
turned to the bishop and said:
Are you the head Of all these IN
stitutions?"
II am, sir" answered the bishop.
May | ask holiday, then, for all
these children?"
And they had the holidsy-which
is more to be desired than great
riches, and makes a friend for the
prince of every boy and girl there,
for it isn't often that a real prince
comes to the school and with a wave
of his hand turns a school day into
a romp. Not often, III say.
After writing that little incident,

Navy Franklin d. Roosevelt, about

dinner at the British embassy told
the prince he had made two members
of my family supremely happy. Il
meant my children over at the Ca

at Miss Eastman's school was very
indignant; and the prince turned to
his aide and told him to ask a holi.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
About two years ago I started
keeping steady company with an
old school chum of mine. After
going together for three months he
game me a wrist watch as a Christ
mas gift. Weeks later we had
quarrel which he always said was
my fault Last winter he Joined
the navy, and ! felt so proud OF
MIN l wrote letter OF congratula-
Hon. He then came TO see me
every time he could. when he was
on a furlough he met me every
night, as / was always working
nights. Since he has been in the
navy l have been going out with
other friends, which | think he ala
not like. Understand. we were not
even going together then, only
friends. After he went back he
wrote me a letter saying had
talked about him. which was un-
true. ! answered 1t and told him
so. saying that 7 was his friend
and I was very sorry. He answer
ed this one and was very much
peeved. saying / had someone write
1t for me. Miss Fairfax, / only, an
swer my own mail Would you
write and tell him this or let IL
all drop? 4 READER.
His actions do not indicate a
very even disposition, but if you
care for him. it will be better to
do all you can to straiohten out
this misunderstanding. Write him
clear statement of the entire
thing and if his amiability does
not then return. just charge him
