Heiny yesterday. The Fresno dis

proportionately in the San Joaquin

that the early grapes at Fresno will

For instance, should ones family or friends include d number of kiddies why not go to BUSY CORNER STORE or to LAIRD & DIMES, where one will find a most fascinating display of all that is dear to the childish heart. For Master Robbie there is among other things a train of cars that really goes. and a popgun that actually pops. And for dainty little sister there is a wide collection of blue eyed, golden haired dollies, or perhaps one of a darker type would be preferred. And dolly's home can be perfectly furnished from the stock of toys carried by these stores. And then for big brother one can find at RYDER BROTHERS STORE the most marvellous ties and scarfs and silk shirts Indeed peculiar is the young man who would not be entirely satisfied with a gift from this store.

And over at the AHLQUIRT GA RAGE one can purchase the extra tire that makes a safe ride for the holi- day guests. For without it someone may have to walk. and who would like to do that these sharp evenings? The garage, which is also a machine shop carries everything in the way of tires They also handle Case tractors and do expert repair work.

At OVEIDo BROTHERS GROCERY AND MEAT MARKET the housewife can find everything that goes to make up the Christmas feast. Plain and fancy groceries and meats; in fact, everything from soup to nuts is here for the Christmas dinner.

And if one wants to have the suit cleaned and pressed for the holiday visits or perhaps wishes to order new suit or overcoat. why not go to the FRENCH CLEANERS G OVERS, who will do the trick in a way that cannot help but satisfy.

mas, it really means that there may be a slight rush and hurry at the last mo- ment, doesn't it? Ones Christmas list has a habit of lengthening most aston ishingly during the last few days before Christmas, for there are always some changes to be made ere the list is entirely complete.
 And in this day and ageI it is really a fact that the merchants in the smaller communities carry just as good stock for the Christ mas shopper as do those of larger places. With a wide selection from which toI choose and with prices that enable everyone to have a. Christmas list, the dweller in the suburban community need not feel that his holi- day shopping is going to be anything but a really enjoy able task that will bring pleasure to himself as well as to his friends.
 Of those of the commun- ity dwellers who are fortu- nate enough to have the Tempe stores at their con- mand, the problem of fin ishing the Christmas shop ping lists should present nothing more trying than a few afternoons spent most pleasantly in the different shops.

If one has planned to entirely re- furnish daughters dainty room as a surprise for her on the return from school fo the holidays, then the CAT TERLlN FURNITURE STORE is the place to go. Or, maybe it is q single piece of furniture that is wanted. This store can supply that, too.

Perhaps the Christmas list includes a phonograph. The TEMPE HARD WARE COMPANY is well stocked to fill this need. Or, perhaps a stove to warm these brisk. cold days would be the thing. Then again, this com pany is the place to go.

MIDWAY NEWS.

Sunday was happy day at old
Midway. A large crowd gathered to
hear Bro. Robinson give US good
sermon at 1890 and Mrs. Galloway
arrived at 1880 bringing the people
a message of encouragement and
helpfulness and good cheer that
went, straight to the hearts of her
hearers. We feel sure she felt re-
paid for her efforts when almost
every man woman and child press
ed forward to shake her hand and
thank her for her sweet message on
witnessing for Christ and Sunday
School Work. We also organized
our Sunday School and hope Mrs.
Galloway will come again and help
us out. She has many warm friends
here who are always glad of her
presence.
Bro. Robinson is doing excellent
preaching and his people esteem him
highly.
Mrs. Galloway and son, Moody,
were guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Boswell
Freeman for dinner.
Owing to continued cold weather
farm work is very much delayed in
this section.

BIZ Z AkING FRIENDSHIPS.

Some twenty or more years ago

ginning careers as pioneers in new
industry; they both we're poor and
they were firm friends Both pros
pered greatly and both Became rich
and influential, but in the struggle
for prosperity the friendship was
broken and the men did not speak to
one another for fifteen years. Recent.
.ly one Of the men died and the other
surprised the whole business and so
clal world by appearing at the funeral
and following the body to the grave.
When comment was made, the living
partner to the old friendship said
''Iie and | were friends twenty years
ago; we were both penniless. Then
we became estranged and in the DAYS
of wealth we have not spoken to one
another. Now he il penniless again
