A short?'time in which to make your selections and purchases for the Yuletide reason—the happiest of the year. A time when we all should join in the true spirit of the season and forgive and forget all mishaps, misunderstandings and differences which may have occurred during the year nearing a close. . iota i* gift season—the season when remembrances mean so much to us and bring out happiness and good cheer and cause us to feel that there Is some thing ii» life worth living for. The merchants are prepared to supply every taste nnd dcsjre of the gift exchange citizens.. Shop now do not wait. Another week will be rush week. CHRISTMAS SAVINGS CLUBS - Whet! this plan of encouraging people to save money was first put forward, little consideration was given to it and it required a number of years ,to in duce thb bankers of the country to take hold of the plan and introduce it in their banks. Leo Goodman, a bank 'clerk in a Memphis bank conceived the idea and so well did he think of it he finally persuaded 'tile officers of the bank with which he was con nected .to allow him to try it out in that city. The plan jumped into popularity with the masses and today his plan is in use in practically every bank in the nation. Not only wage earners, clerks and those with small incomes use this system of savings, but many firms carry a Christmas savings account in order to meet special obligations such as taxes and insurance and the like. A small amount de posited each week amounts to a considerable sum at the end of the year and yet it is hot noticeable in , the income of the average wage-earner. One saves without realizing the amount accumulating until the end of the year when there is found in the bank a nice nest-egg to add to or draw out to meet obliga tion? which may have occurred during the year. It is a plan which every one should adopt and acquire, the saving habit. In Athchs on the fifteenth of this month near to , one hundred thousand will be paid out to the Christ- . mas savings depositors. This money will be spent among the merchants in all lines and every one will receive direct and indirect benefit from the savings clubs. • No better new year resolution can be made than to take out a Christmas savings account for next year and each week deposit a small amount and at the end of the year you will have a neat sum to your credit whicji you would not have had otherwise. It is worth considering and when you commence the new year, remember to make your Christmas sav ing dub one of your resolutions and obligations for 1924. j&tlrKS* SON-Or OCONKE “Well »lr," reported the Web- ; CO.

In fact conditions have almost returned to normalcy and with the coming of another year and an equally good, crop, vre may be assured that the period of depression has parsed. Since the closing of hostilities this country has experienced an unusual slump In all ■ lines of business. It has been an unusual condition requir ing the best efforts and every resource of our busi ness men to tide the ship of commerce safely over the obstacles brought on by war and destruction. How ever, the time is rapidly passing and regardless of the devastated conditions and the scarcity of labor si t!:: under-production of agricultural product* our people are rallying, diversifying crops, raising more hogs, cattle, dairy cows and poultry. They are creating a basis which is bound to become substan tial for the rehabilitation of the country and for bringing back better times nnd prosperity which was enjoyed prior to the world war. It' is near at hand and our people have won the fight over de pression ard the return of normal conditions Is in DRESSING UP THE LJLD1ERS . he recent order of the war department for a ro tarn to the blue uniform displacing the khaki will, ho doubt, be received with enthusiasm on the part of the soldier boys. Certainly they will appear more dressed up and cause them to attract more atten tion. During war it matters little as to the uniform Morn by our soldiers. These men are respected and honored regardless of uniform and the best of the land is at their disposal. However, during times of I peace, thco. no i who are giving their lives in the I service of the government should be allowed every AHvilege possible and the best of uniforms and food. To keep them fit, healthy In body and pure fn mind and soul they will make soldiers our nation .will be proud of. • A body of soldiers in bright blue uniforms, brass buttons and other insignias makes a most lasting impression and somehow creates a greater feeling of admiration on the part of the public. It has its effect and the action of the war department was most timely and appropriate. With concentration •hot. He's always figurine, wclghlns Which chsnro is proper, end which Is not.

But no—Bill dwndles nnd shirks and fuddles. He views his job with a listless eye, Ho losfs snd stalls snd fskes and muddles And merely figures on "gutting by;" Yet still he growls at his poor position, His "rotten boss” and hla "mens- ley pay," Though -all be needs Is tho same ambition Applied to work that ho gives K I'lsy I on them, but takes them good no- turcdly and enjoy them for ivhnt buey are worth.
