I All Ready for You Christmas Shoppers And as we've said before, "READY" with us is always spelled with a capital ' 4 R. ' ' Ready here means having a thoroughly comprehen - sive display of this, that and the other thing that rightfully belongs in a jewelry store.

You may shop today if you wish with all the advan tages of stock completeness, and with none of the annoyances incident to the rush that's sure to come later. . Buy your Christmas remembrances here, now, and buy in comfort. Always bearing in mind that Jewelry is the gift of gifts. We are showing the largest and finest stock in our new store that has ever been shown in Medford. PARAGUAYfS n. FLOWER- TREES". Thouunda of Square Milea pf Foraats Blaze With Bloeaoma.' A great . many ( of . the , big jtrees of Paraguay the 'giants flower in the spring and summer,, and, vast masses of the most gorgeous blooms are at the disposal of the bees. In fact. It was difficult for one who has never seen It even to Imagine these thousands of square miles of forest ablaze with gold and heliotrope, white, yellow, pink and green blossoms' during the flowering season. Curiously enough, the two trees which attain the greatest size and al most Invariably stand bend and shoul ders above the general mass bear the most beautiful flowers. They are the lapacho and lupacho crespo, the for mer having large heliotrope and pur ple blooms something like Canterbury bells clusters of which grow at the end of each twig. The lapacbo crespo has a bloom exactly similar in shape, but of a rich golden yellow color. Both these trees array themselves in full regalia of bloom before a single leaf appears, and it Is only after the flow ers begin to fall that the foliage com mences to appear. When all the other trees have ceased flowering there remains the bitter orange, of which the forests are full and the blossom of which imparts to the honey a particularly delicate fla vor. Wide World Magazine. FREEDOM IN FRANCE. No Country In tha World Whara In dividual Liberty la Greater. I believe that there is no country tn the world where there Is greater Indi vidual freedom than In France. Every one apparently does just about as be pleases. The gendarmes are Lot watch ing for infractions and never seem to Interfere with anybody. People tum ble their dogs into the public foun tains and enjoy the parks with a free dom that would not for a moment be permitted in New York. Yet no one does anything really harmful. I men tioned these things to the American consul, who 8ii Id: "Yes, the French have great Individ ual license and are too proud of it to abuse it. Whatever they lack In po litical freedom they make up in per sonal liberty. That is the chief article of their faltb. The gendarme seldom lays bands on a citizen. Where some thing really serious happens there are usually serious consequences, but It does not often happen." Then be told me of a runaway youth whom he wished apprehended and held for American advices. The authorities said: "We will watch him for you, we will keep you posted as to his com ings, his goings and bis doings, but we cannot lay bands on him. There Is no warrant for so serious a step." Albert Bigelow Paine in Century. Smoke Consuming Scheme. The most ingenious scheme ever in vented for doing away with the smoke difficulty wltb steam locomotives was tried some years ago on the Metropol itan railway of England. "Between the rails a trough was laid, and the en gine carried a sliding shoe device adapted to slide over this and to open doors as it passed whereby smoke let from the stack to the shoe was enabled to pass into the trough, thence being exhausted to a collecting plant." An other scheme for solving the smoke dif ficulty was to construct a series of smokestacks leading to the back of the train. This would have kept the cin ders out of the passengers' eyes possi bly, but would hardly have been suffi cient to make the smoke settle on the company's right of way. Indianapolis News. Tha Mocking Bird. Because of its lurutupurHble medleys and imltutlve powers the mocking bird Is the most reuowued singer or the western hemisphere, lu place In the affections of the south Is similar to that occupied by the robin in the north. It is well that this is true, fur the bird appears not to deserve protection strict ly from an economic atuudpoint. About half of Its diet consists of fruit ami many cultivated varieties, such as or anges, grape. Hps. stra wherries, black berries and raxpuerries, are attacked. One-fourtb of Its food Is nnlmal mat ter, and grasshoppers are the largest ingle elemeut. Martin J.
