GHRIGTMAS SHOPPING SHOULD BE DONE EARLY It will be Found to the Advantage of all Not to Leave Shopping to the Last Minute many years 11 been urging all to do shopping early, Of c ar to do the Christn whan not at all, but i would be to the advan cerned to have the ( ping on the early pl The Haileyburian had the matter that is we duction. The Hailev} ‘‘ror many years an n1as been made to educate the public to the necessity to ‘‘Do their Christmas shopping early,‘‘ and the necessity is probably as great today as it ever was. There are not so many days now in which to do our part towards! relieving the rush at the last and there is little excuse for delaying longer. Neither the quality or quanâ€" tity of goods from which to choose will increase ‘between now and the holiday and the prices will not be reâ€" duced to any great extent. "‘There may be those who think that the merchants alone are inâ€" terested in the question of early shopâ€" ping and that they think they will 11 more goods by selling early, but| s is not the case. The merchant hl interested, of course, but not entiroly‘ from a selfish standpoint. His fear is chiefly that the great overstrain of the last few days and nights before the holiday will disrupt his business and interfere with the proper serving of customers, making it unpleflsant‘ for all concerned. ©The call for an earlier shopping season came first chiefly from the post offices, the express companies, the railways and sales and delivery people generally, all of whom experiâ€" enced the diffieculty of handling a great amount of extra business in a short period, with a comsequent inâ€" ability to give the service that they wished at all times to give. Ths lack of service affects all alike. Everyone has had the unpleasant exâ€" periences of a lastâ€"minute rush to complete the Christmas shopping in time for delivery sat the expected date, and in the hands of the public lies the remedy. One of our exâ€" changes puts it this way : ‘©So it behoaves the public, since it wants good service, to remember that the chief elemeni of service is the human element and" that the huâ€" man machine breaks down under strain just like any other piece of machinery. And because there is a human element involved, and because Christmas is a time for special chariâ€" ty to all humans, it is only reasonable that shoppers and shippers be conâ€" siderate of the store clerk, the postal employee and the servants of the exâ€" press companies and railways. They want to enjoy Christmas, too. Why make the Yuletide hateful to them? Have a heart, Do your Christmas shopping early !‘‘ C.N.R.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO SIR FREDERICK WILLIAMSâ€"TAYâ€" LOR (General Manager. of the Bank of Montreal The preliminary hearing of Omer Dube at Espanola last week on the charge of murdering Mrs. P. Therrien last May, resulted in Dube being comâ€" mitted for trial. Contrary to the exâ€" pectations of some, the final witnesses did not give any sensational evidence. Counsel for the accused asked for the dismissal of his client, as it was held that there was no material evidence on which to hold Dube. The magisâ€" trate, however, considered that enough of a case had been made out to warâ€" rant holding the aceused for trial. The big sensation of the case was the prosecution â€"and sentencing of Earl Baker for spreading false stories. As noted in The Advance last weq@k, Barker told a long story regarding seeing Mrs. Therrien in a house, in scanty attire, and sitting on a man‘s knee. The wife of the latter entered the room and smashed Mrs. Therrien on the head with a bottle, Baker‘s story said. In court, Baker admuitâ€" ted that there wasn‘t a word of truth in this yarn. He claimed, however, that he did not know Dube and had not been induced to tell his yarn by anybody, but had simply let hus imagination run when he was drunk. MRS. V.
