If people, at least a good many OF
them, would just look back a year,
they would recall what roubl they
lad, at the last minute, in securing
Christmas gifts for the members of
the family and for friends. In many
cases the necessity of acting quickly
made them buy something that they
did not really want, or made them
buy a higher priced article thar they
intended. Thus, in addition to the
anguish of soul experienced because
of 1ast-minute buying, it was expen-
sive. The opportunity is still here
to avoid such difficulties this year by
getting busy at once. The holiday
stocks in Moscow are complete, and
on display ready for your selection.

selections now. J.

Dry Authorities Urge
 Twelve-mile Limit Off
 Coast of United States

New I York.-Substitutio of p mile limit for the Smile limit now drawn by international law has been recommend ed to Washington as means of con- batting the rum fleet of the New Jersey coast.
 This recommendation, it was said to- day, was an outgrowth of the confer ence Saturday between Acting Col lector of the Port Stuart and prohibi- tiousenforcement authorities.
 The theory that extension of the GUS toms limit would check smuggling was based, prohibition agents said, on be- lief that the small boats running liquor from the rum feet to shore would find it dangerous to ply far from shore.
 Officials admitted they did not ex- pect an immediate ruling on this point because the Supreme Court now was considering similar question in con- nection with the search of foreign yes sells bringing liquor into American waters.
 The rum feet off the coast is taking on the proportions of an armada and is well armed according to officers of two vessels which arrived today. The cap- eain .of the Roquelle, which arrived from Sierra Leone, Africa, estimates the fleet at from 25 to 50 vessels.
 Captain Ernest Clark, of the Orbita saw continuous line of rum runners 'evtended from Fire island to Ambrose channel lightship, while Second Officer Martion declared he had seen nothing but rum boats. The Orbita was de fayed five hours picking her way through the feet
 "The rum boats were drifting around like lot of ducks" Martion said a'There was a heavy fog when we passed Fire island at 9 o'clock this morning, and from then until o'clock. when we passed Bmbrose lightship, my heart was in my mouth.

 Seattle, Feb. 2,-Senalor Fred Aver. Of Nome, speaking at the dinner of the Alaska Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, said that mining operations now authorized or contemplated for the immediate future mean the most substantial development of mining in the Seward Peninsula to date. Mr.: Aver said the Hammond company has gone into mining on big scale near Nome and that the results have been so satisfactory that those who have previously been pessimistic about the gold mining possibilities in the Seward peninsula country are now optimistic that new building processes will bring back the Nome country.
 The committee endorsed the action of the Seattle Fur Exchange, which has plan to gradually bring about the sale of the Pribilof island seal skins here rather than at St. Louis.

CONFESSION GIVEN

Napa, Calf, Dec. 6.-(By the As
sociated Press)-Financial difficult
ties caused Edward J. Sailstad to ex-
hume the body Of his friend, Allen
McFee, from a cemetery near Lake
Nebagamon, Wisconsin, and burn it
in a cottage that this wife might col.
lect his insurance policies, according
Sailstafs confession to District At
torney Thomas Anglim and Sheriff
]. r. Harris. He told the authorities
he had no other motive than to pro-
vide for his wife and children. The
confession made public today said
in part.
I'm 1919 was president of the
Multitone Phonogrsph Company in
Eau Claire. Business began to grow
bad and l turned to my friends and
relatives for financial assistance. In
spite Of their assistance l began to
realize that my company was due for
a crash. l then began to think Of
dropping from sight, leaving no
word with my wife or any friend.
With this thought in mind I began
to look about and wait until someone
died in the neighbofhood Of my sta
ture, one who was without friends
or relatives. l began to think that
it would be easy to substitute body
for my own, burn it and make a
clean getaway"
