"Do Your Christmas Shopping ll
Early." a
11
The above slogan in the hands
of an astute business man has g
changed the whole practice of
Christmas shopping and stimu- 0
lated holiday business as nothing
else could have done. This man.
with the nerve of a Barnum and j
the judgment of a VVanamaker,
grabbed the thought from the j
public mind and put it into big n
black type where "lie who runs ^
may read," in the newspaper. L|
He backed a popular conviction
with his coirt in expressing his
belief that it would be better for
everyone concerned if the inevitable
Christmas purchases were 0
made at once while stocks were ^
fresh and new ard the choice
was wide and ample.
This slogan has since slipped
into practical use into overy cor- 'j
ner of commercial America. Ex- ^
cepting perhaps its fellow slogan.
"safety first," which has reduced ^
the accident death rate enormous- ^
ly, it has done more good in the ^
world than any business phrase w
ever coined. It has been the N
means of discontinuing the time
honored practice among depart- v
ment ami specialty stores of a
keeping open in llie evenings 01
preceding Christinas eve. It has n<
enabled manufacturers to prepare
their goods and till orders far n
enough in advance to insure clear ^
store rooms long before the Yule- lf
tide candles were lighted. It pre- u
vented the disappointment of l.
of millions of Christmas shoppers
who wire wont in times
past to wait for the more attract- Vl
ive novelties which turned up at tc
the last moment. Ami not the ^
least important, it saved the ^
heartaches of neglected ones who ^
leant upon the broken reed of
mere man's thoughtlessness.
P
hi hting Booze.
For the married man who ean
not get along without drinks,
the following is suggested hy an 111
exchange as a rrn an- of i'r *edom ^
from bondage to the saloons: si
CI 4 ... _ I t-1
oLctrt a saioon m your own w
house. Be the only customer h<
(you'll have no license to pay).
Go to your wife and give her j E
two dollars to buy a gallon of 01
whiskey, and remember there
are sixty-nine drinks in a gillon. E
Buy your drinks from no one
but your wife, and by the time c
the first gal Ion isgone she will a
have eight dollars to put into!*"
the bank and two dollars to 1K
start business again. Should'01
you live ten years and continue,
to buy booze from her. and then n<
die with snakes in your hcots, tk
she will have enough money to c?
bury you decently, educate your
children, buy a house and lot,
marry a decent man, and <piit P1
"thinking abont you entirely. 01

Struggle Has Only Begun.
Ed Parker, a Gastonia young
an, has returned to his home
om England where he has been
nee last July. He sailed in ll
?at month from Norfolk on a i
>rsehoat for England and upon s
rival there enlisted in the ;p
nglish army. Being under age,
llv about 18, his father took "
eps, through Congressman *
. y. WeDb, to secure his re
ase from the army and sue- H
seded after going through quite rl
g( o<l deal of red tape. Parke r H
rived in New York from Liver- y
)ol a few days ago and came H
i to Gaston ia. He was in a
aining camp with 3,000soldiers I
?ar Bristol, England. Most of I
ie 3,000, he said, were Ameri- I
ins like himself. A few others g
ad secured releases. u
Life in the training camp is S
retty hard, according to ParkThe
boys were drilled in
ench-digging and often were
n practice marches until midight
and after. The plan was,
e says, to teach the recruits in
iree months what ordinarily
squired 15 months. They had
lenty to eat. Asked as to what g
le people in England seemed to I
link of the war he replied that I
ley think the struggle has only*fl
