zen, can spend his day of rest profit
ably. preparing for the things to
come. Retween the acts of the 1913
Mr. Average Citizen has things in
store on which he might well put a
day Of study and action.
When Mr.. Average Citizen goes to
his garage tomorrow morning he
should carefully remove the soiled
and battered orange colored license
plates of the 1919 vintage and replace
them with the bright red plates for
1929. If he hasn't them, he should
order them pronto. for. after 10 days,
he is flirting with a fine before the
Justice Of the peace.
When Fido begs for the ham-bone
at breakfast tomorrow morning, take
heed of the size of Fidos neck. If
he is more than eight months of age.
he must needs be licensed under the
state law. If F'ido is a male dog. the
license will cost 81 and IL a female
50. County Clerk Brown attends to
the licensing and sends each dog
collar providing the prop
sr size is known.

ions to the census enumerator at

EARLIER ORDERING IS
ASKED BY MERCHANTS

Merchants of pendleton are endea-
voring to bring about a more equal
system of distribution of parcels
through an .'ordar aesirlss d, The da3'
campaign. The present delivery ar
rangement. while satisfactory in a
measure. is being defeated because OF
the last minute orders which are de-
clarcd TO be too heavy.
Four trips are made daily by the
deliverymen. starting at $3.50, 1890.
$3.50 and 1870. The 4:30 trip, ac-
lcortling to one department store own
err, usually is called upon to handle the
equivalent of any two other trips in
the day.
Late ordering is in a large measure
responsible for this heavy business on
the final delivery, he says The morn
ing deliveries have more time in
which to make the rounds. if neces-
sary. but the 4:30 delivery is often
Obliged to work overtime. This not
only brings to some customers late
delivery for the evening meal. but
adds overtime to the delivery charges
and incidentally adds to the cost OF
the goods to the consumer.
Advantages of early ordering are
many. the merchants point out. Ma
terials are available in greater atlanti-
ty. which gives the early buyer the
better selection Clerks are not rush
ed nor tired, as Mt the end of the
days work. Delivcrymen have more
time to make delivery and insure sat
isfaction.
A mutual benefit can be derived
from the early order plan, the mer-
chants believe. At any rate, they
want to get the cooperation of the
buying public so that they can prove
or disaprove their belief.
