CATCH THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
Do your Christmas shopping now!

10 your 1nrlSlnldS shopping HOWi
With the passing of the Thanksgiving season. the
stereotype admonition to DO your Christmas shopping
early, is Just a bit tardy. With shop windows resplendent
with holly wreaths. multi-oolored lights and suggestive
Christmas gifts enhanced by the season. first fall OF snow
and crisp. sub-zcro weather, ones soul indeed would be dead
if it did not catch the meaning of it all and the realization
that the dav of all days is just around the corner.
Never before has Plentywoods stores displayed as
large or so varied a line of Christmas goods as this year. So
complete are the stocks of gift possibilities that out OF town
shopping is entirely unnecessary and a needless expense.
From TOYS and gaudy trinkets for the little ones to gifts OF
practical utility for the elders. Plentywood stores are amply
supulied TO meet the needs of the most exacing.
No only in the matter of gifts-for that should be OF
secondary importance in the proper observance OF Christ
mas-but Christmas hospitality and Christmas cheer should
also have its place and in this matter the local grocery stores
and meat markets play their part. Christmas candies and
nuts, fancy groceries, dressed poultry, special holiday green
goods and other things suggestive of holiday feasting have
as vital a part in the picture that the spirit of Christmas con-
lures up as anything. -.
Let us suggest then, that you and the Riddles make
a tour of inspection of Plentywoods Christmas stores, that
YOU make out your lists at once and your purchases as soon
thereafter as possible and then, with your Christmas shop
ping worries off your mind, prepare to do full Justice to the
grandest and best of all holidays of the year.

Il,l45 ACRES OF INDIAN
LAND SOLD AT POPLAR

Poplar.-Fifty-eight tract of land
totaling 11,145 acres, were disposed
of to highest bidders at the sale OF
Indian lands held at the Fort PecA
agency last Thursday. The total
amount of the bids was S116,561, OF
an average of nearly S10.46 per acre,
The highest bids received were on
two S20-acre tracts, one bringing
$4,000 or 2200 per acre, and the
other bringing $1,000.
The sale was considered very sue
cessful by the Indian office, it being
the biggest ever held here. More
tracts were bid in than at any pre-.
vious sale of similar nature. In q
majority of the sales cash was paid
by the purchasers. On the balance
a 3-year payment plan was used,
one-fourth of the amount being paid
down with the balance due in three
equal yearly payments.
The agency that it has
been decided to continue accepting
bids until January l.. Bids will be
opened each Thursday and it is ex-
pected that a good many more of the
remaining pieces of land will be
purchased during the weeks before
January Poplar Standard.

We all know the meaning of the proletariat, or if
we do not know we can learn from the dictionary that the
word is applied to the common people" or lowest class of
citizens" But the pedestrianat' is a new one, not yet in
the dictionary, although it has made its way into both speech
and print. SO definitions are in order.
Noting that a novel word to designate a new social
class. or an old social class with a new consciousness, a word
formed on the analogy of proletariat, is emerging into print
as pedestrianat, : the New York Times goes on to say:
Every one must catch the meaning. 1t does not APP
ply to the few valiant walkers who now survive, but to the
great mass of undistinguished people who do not own or
drive motor cars, and SO are always incommoding and exas-
perating those who do.
If it were not for this miserable pedestrianat, there
would hardly be a traffic problem. Motorists would kill
each other if there were no people on the streets or on the
roads, but the slaughter would not be nearly so great and
would be, according to the belief of many of the pedestrian
at, justified.
Certainly there is no question of the dictatorship of
the pedestrianat. The lowly pedestrians exist only to be die
tated to. After Mr.. Ford has supplied each with a car there
may be an evolution upward, but at present the new word
fixes a status of society which is distinctly that of an Cypress
ed and despised class.

Mr.. HOOVER'S SOUTH AMERICAN TOUR

Regardless of politics, practically every newspaper
whose editorial comments we have noted, has hailed with
satisfaction President-elect Hoover's trip to the countries OF
Thus far, from every point visited, the receptions
accorded Mr.. Hoover and party have been most cordial, en-
thusiastic and whole-hearted. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the trip is effectively carrying out the purpose for
which it was intended-to promote better relations be-
tween North and South America.
Better relations will promote a sounder basis for
peace in the Wester Hemisphere and in addition will increase
the amount of trade between the people of this country and
of South America.
Just how far reaching will be the results of this So
;ourn is largely a matter of conjecture. but certain it is that
the bridging of the gulf of misunderstanding, suspicion and
racial jealousy will have a beneficial effect upon the trade re-
iations between America and these countries which should
ultimately be apparent eve in these regions considered far
remote from any direct influence that might be affected by
this country's relations with another.

New Farm Aid Bill Is
Drafted By McNary

A new farm relief bill, designed to
meet administration desires, has been
drafted by Chairman McNary of the
senate agricultural committee and
will be pressed for a vote at the APP
preaching short session.
The measure, like the twice vetoed
McNary-Haugen bill, calls for estab-
lishment of a federal farm board,
with a membership of IL, to take ov-
err control of the marketing of sur
plus crops. The board also would be
given authority to establish agencies
throughout the country, with a view
of providing more orderly market
ing.
Senator McNary says that ne has
attempted to incorporate the admin.
istration's antidote for farm ills in
his new measure. His old bill would
have created an equalization fee to
be assessed against surplus crops to
pay for their marketing, but the new
proposal put the cost of marketing
SURPRISES on the government and
does away with the equalization fee.
