The Last Christmas News from Huntleys
TODAY Comes a belated shipment of Holiday Stationery
from New York. It was shipped via Panama, held up by
the Canal slide, and then sent on around by the Straits of
Magellan. It's Eaton, Crane & Pike goods the best made.
To insure its moving in the limited time left, we have made
the prices especially low.
To close out the odds and ends that are always in stock
as varied as ours, we have started a bargain table and a
bargain window. We promise you that every article on
this bargain table or in the bargain window will be not over
1-2 the original Price. Often it will be 1-4 to 1-3 the
marked price. Some 75c articles are now priced as low as 10c.
We have too many high priced silk umbrellas. To sell them all before Christ
mas we have cut the prices from 1-3 to 1-2.
.We also wish to close out our line of enamelled cooking ware, generally known
as Casseroles. Prices reduced about 1-3.
Don't let lack of ready money stand in the way of that Victrola for Christmas.
Pay $1, $2 or $5 down, depending on the price of the instrument selected, and
then pay the balance in easy monthly payments commencing in January. But
don't put it offour stock is limited.

NOW HE HAS REAL MONEY
Cubans Appear To Like "Made In
America" New Coinage
The transfer of the monetary sys
tem of Cuba from the former con
dition where there was no national
coinage to the use of the new money
of the Republic has been effected
without causing a ripple on the sur
face of business, and good results are
already being noted.
Formerly Spanish, French, United
States, and small quantities of other
moneys circulated indiscriminately.
On nearly every prominent corner in
Cuban cities, and especially in Haban,
in news, cigar, and lottery-ticket
stands were money changers who did
a thriving business out of the wide
confusion of values. Many abuses
and inconveniences arose from the
condition of affairs. Banks and busi
ness houses had to keep their ac
counts in three moneys Spanish,

French and American and the valu
es of the various coins were constant
causes of misunderstandings and a
detriment to commerce generally.
Cuba arranged for money of it3
own, the banks cooperating, and the j
minting has been done in the United
States. A presidential decree of Sep
tember 11 forbade the use of other
than Cuban and American money after
December 1. It had the effect of im
mediately waking the people up to
the imminence of the change, and
there was a rush to unload accumu
lations of French and Spanish gold
and silver.
The Cuban money consists of gold,
silver and nickel coins. It is esti
mated that by January lthere will be
more than $12,000,000 of this money
in circulation. It is on an absolute
parity with the money of the United
States, and as yet there is possibly
more American money in trade chan
nels than Cuban. It is forbidden to
take or ship the national money out
of the country. No bills have been
issued. Some factions of the busi
ness and political world favor the is
suance of bills direct by the Nation
al Treasury; others are equally strong
for a national bank of issue. This is
a matter yet to be determined and
upon' which there exists a sharp -diversity
of opinion. Meanwhile Amer
ican notes are the only ones to be
had. The supply is apparently ade
quate. The Cuban gold coins are $20, ?10.
and $5, bearing on one side, in relief,
the head of Jose Marti and on the
other the coat of arms of Cuba half
encircled by laurel wreaths. On one
side the coin bears the inscription
"Patria y Libertad'' and the date,
and on the other, "Republica do Cuba''
and the denomination. Each coin
is marked with its fineness. The coins
are exceedingly artistic and hand-
ome. The $5 piece has sprung into

The money is upon the same sys
tem as that of the United States, and
the dollar sign is used to designate
it. The peso, or silver dollar, equals
100 centavos. Instead of a 50-cent-
avo piece, there is the "cuarenta," or
40-centavo coin, the "veinte, or ZU
centavo; and the silver 10-centavo

TROUBLE WITH CORN
Poor Seed Responsible for Much Wast
ed Labor and Money
"Corn ten feet high and not a
single mature ear a year's labor
lost.'' These, writes an Oregon farm
er to R. D. Iletzel, Extension director,
are the results secured by purchasing
shelled yellow dent seed corn in the
public markets. "I have been raising
corn the past threeyears and the only
drawback I find is' getting the right
kind of seed," continues the letter.
"In passing a seed store I noticed
some extra fine specimens of yellow
dent ears and asked to buy one or
more of them. I was told that the
ears could not be spared but that the
same identical corn was carried shelled
in stock. So I purchased some, plant
ed it in good soil and gave it extra
care. Now what I want to know is
will you sell me five or six good ears
of College Minnesota No. 23 I
would like to get the genuine for a
start. I also find the collgee bulletin,
"Corn in Oregon,'' very interesting
and instructive."

MORE ABOUT EGGS
Canada Begins to Worry, and Provides
Rules for Hen Product, Too
The Canadian Department of Agri
culture at Ottawa has provided stan
dards in three general classes for eggs
"fresh gathered," "storage," and
"cracked and dirties."
Four grades are provided in the
first class, three in second, and two in
the third. In the "fresh-gathered"
class are "specials,'' "extras," No, l's,
and No. 2's. The grade "specials" is
omitted from the "storage'' class and
both specials and extras from the
class for "cracked and dirties." Spec
ials," according to all standards, are
eggs of uniform size weighing over
24 ounces to the dozen or over 45
pounds net to the 30-dozen case; ab
solutely clean, strong, and round in
shell; air cell small (not over three
sixteenths of an inch in depth), white
of egg firm and clear, yolk dimly vis
ible; free from blood clots.
"Extras" are eggs of good size,
weighing at least 24 ounces to the
dozen or 45 pounds net to the 30-doz-en
case; clean, sound in shell; air cell
less than three-eighth3 of an inch in
depth, with white of egg firm and
yolk slightly visible.
"No. l's'' are eggs weighing at
least 23 ounces to the dozen or 43
pounds net to the 30-dozcn case;
clean, sound in shell; air cells less
than one-half inch in depth; white of
egg reasonably firm, yolk visible but
mobile, not stuck to the shell or ser
iously out of place.
"No. 2's" are eggs clean, sound in
shell; may contain weak and watery
eggs and eggs with heavy yolks, and
all other eeres sound in shell and
for food.
