ly Artistic in Design.
 The new Victory three-cent stamp is soon to be on sale at the Mena postoffice.
 The design presents a standing figure of Liberty Victorious, with a background composed of the flags of the five countries which were most actively engaged in the cause. The left arm is partially extended, and the hand holds balance scale, pre- senting justice. Back of the figure appears the American flag; at the left are draped the British and Bel gian flags, and at the right the Itali- an and French flags.

CONDITIONS IN MExIco.
Better, Since Close of War, Than for
 Many Years.

Washington, March 16.-The Amer lean government has received a re- port from prominent Mexican now m thls county on private mission, indicating that economic conditions in Mexico are much better than most re- cent reports from that country have shown. The report came from a man regarded as particularly we'll inform ed, and one who is in no way connect ed with the Carranza government.
 According to the report, the people generally are more prosperous than they have been in many years. The ending of the world war was said to have brought about a more stable situation generally, as there had been apprehensions that German propa- ganda aimed at bringing Mexico into the conflict might be fruitful.

TRICKS OF ANIMAL HUMBUGS
Abundant Proof That Deceitful Acts
Are Accompanied by Conscious
ness of Wrongdoing.

In military stables horses are known
10 have pretended to be lame In order
to avoid going to n military exercise.
A chimpanzee had been fed on cake
when sick. After his recovery he
often feigncd coughing in order to pro
cure dainties.
The cuckoo, as is well known, lays
its eggs in another birds nest, and,
to make the deception surer. it takes
away one OF the other birds eggs.
Animals are conscious OF their deceit.
as is shown by the fact that they try
20 act secretly and noiselessly; they
show n sense of guilt II detected; they
take precautions In advance to avoid
discovery in some cases they mani
fest regret and repentance. Thus,
bees which steal hesitate often before
and after their exploits. us II they
feared punishment.
A naturalist describes how his
monkey committed theft. While he
pretended to sleep the animal regarded
him with hesitation, and stopped ev-
cry time his master moved or seemed
on the point of awakening.

On Christmas Morn

You know how it feels to get
Christmas present the day after
Christmas or the week after. when
you've forgotten all about Christmas
save taking the tree out into the
back yard and paying the bills.
The time to get your Christmas
present is on Christmas morning,
and by the same token the time for
the other fellow to get yours is that
morning.
But in any event it is better
early than late" and when you
stick on. a warning.-"Don't open
until Christmas"-you make it a
real Christmas gift, albeit it ar
rives at its destination day, or
week ahead OF time
Uncle Sans letter carriers, de-
livery men of stores, postmasters all
can tell you of the gifts that arrive
too late: And it is these late ar
rivals that make the last few days
before Christmas, and especially
Christmas eve. overburdened hours
for the men and women who sell and
CARRY Christmas gifts.
Let us this Christmas extend our
supply of that pleasing Christmas
spirit to include the men and the
women in the stores, who carry the
mails, who deliver the goods, so that
their labors may De spread over
several days instead of being crowd
ed into few.
This means of course, that we
must do our shopping early. as early
as possible, when salespeople have
the most time to talk over with us
the best bargains nnd most nppro-
pirate gifts, and when the supply
of gifts in stores is freshest, newest,
largest. thus giving the widest range
of selection.
Don't be Last Minute Shopper
If you can be an Early Shopper,
early in the Christmas shopping sea-
son. early in the week. early in the
day. for those are the best shopping
hours.
And. having been an Early Shop
per, be an Early Mailer. Get your
gift for Uncle, Aunt, Friend, Ac-
quaintance. whoever 1t is, wrapped,
addressed. stamped. in the mails
early. thus avoiding the extra heavy
Christmas postal rush, and insuring
delivery before Christmas has come
and gone.
In short, plain language: Do 1t
Now!
