Holiday Trade

Old Shakespeare said that there is a
tide in the affairs Of men which taken
at the flood leads on to fortune. Every
man is at some time confronted with
special opportunities which if allowed
to slip will never return.
The present economic conditions pre-.
sent such an opportunity to retail mer-
chants to expand their trade. More
money is in circulation that ever be-
fore. Many people who used to buy
only the bare necessities, are now buy
ing comforts and luXuries. Theses adj
ded purchases constitute bulk of new
business which some one is going to get.
Every live trading community is
reaching out for this new business.
Cities and towns far and near are reach
ing into this community by various
forms of advertising. The mail order
houses are distributing their attractive
and voluminous catalogues. The stores
of nearby communities and the centers
of population are using various forms
of advertising to draw trade away from
DeniSon.
The way to meet this campaign is for
the merchants of Denison to make it
clear by good publicity work not mere
ly that it is good community spirit to
buy their goods at home, but that just
as good values can be had here as any
where, and in addition, the time, ex-
pense and bother of buying away from
home can be saved.
If this town gets into this competi.
tive publicity in good shape, it's stores
will come out of it the winners of a
large bulk of new trade. This means
the making of new friends, the stronger
hold upon the home community and the
outlying country, the permanent en-.
largement of business here and the ad-
vance of the trading center to a new
level of prosperity and public advant.
ages. This holiday season is the most
favorable time to bid for this new bust.

Pearls Transformation.

For two or three years in the seas
of Japan, the Antilles or the Indies,
at depth of not more than ten or
twelve meters, the marvel known as
a pearl has its birth, takes form and
grows in its sheltered infancy. Then
there comes day when suddenly, bru-
tally, something tragic and wonderful
happens. After the great excitement
Of rude unrooting. the pearl awakens
to daylight like the princess of the
fairy tales. Passionate, mad eyes gaze
upon her. Perhaps, already, the divers
are killing each other over her. But
a master comes and assures her pro-
lection, places her among companions,
and with them surrounds her with. a
thousand attentions by dint Of which
she loses that look of extreme youth
and greenness which has fingered from
the sojoVvn in the ocean.

Furnace Fire Should Always Be Check -,

Let Air in Through Damper
SHOULD BURN THE COAL GASES
Failure to Follow the Common Sense
Rules Will Result in the Loss
of Much Fuel

AMES, Dec. 9-Iowa's diminishing
coal piles will last at least per cent
longer if house furnaces are intelli-
gently fired, say the engineering ex-
tension experts at Iowa State college.
They suggest how coal should be burn
ed in the home furnace in an illustrated
leaf1et which may be secured by writ.
department at Ames. &C.,.
Fire the furnace SO that the coal
gases will be burned and not wasted,
that IS one of the most important in
structions for fuel saving. Failure to
follow it results in much fuel loss. In
firing. the bed of live coal should never
be entirely covered with fresh coal. Pile
the fresh charge in the front of the fire
pot so that a small area of red coal Is
left uncovered at the back. At the
same time admit little air through the
fire door damper The gases from the
fresh charge will then pass back over
the red Goals and be burned and not go
up the chimney in waste. The fire door
damper should be closed when the gases
are burned Off, to prevent cooling the
fire pot.
Much fuel is wasted through over.
heating. The fire should always be
checked before the house is quite warm
enough. 1t is checked by closing the
ash pit damper and opening the check
damper in the smoke pipe. 1t should
not be checked by opening the fire door
or it's damper.
In cold weather chick" fire is es.
sential, say the firing experts. A thick"
fire has a deep bed of Goals and thin
bed of ashes. A thick" fire Is the
most economical in cold weather, if a
house is to be kept warm. In mild
weather a thin" fire is better, that is,
a shallow bed Of Goals and a thicker
bed of ashes on top of the CRATES. In
cold> weather shake the CRATES more
frequently and in mild weather. less
The furnace water pans should be
kept well filled, for if the furnace gives
off moist air the house will be more
comfortable at a temperature of 6S de-
grees than at 70 or "a degrees if the air .
is very dry.
A tight furnace helps toward econo-

hampers will admit so much air to the

is really interesting about the word
is the fact that its name was altered
