Christmas Spirit in the Air.
Indications point to the approach
ing, gladsome Christmas season and
the business houses have not been
slow in catching the spirit of the com
ing festivities.
This week, Christmas shopping be
gan in earnest, due in a great measure
to the large amount of special adver
tising which the business houses do at
this time of the year The local
stores are offering bargains which
come as valuable suggestions in solv
ing the rather perplexing problem of
gift-giving.«. In later years there has
been a strong sentiment among people
generally to give useful things instead
of mere ornaments as was so popular
in the past. To meet this demand,
the local stores are carrying more ex
tensive lines of Christmas goods than
in former years, and in order to obtain
a better selection, many ara doing
their holiday shopping earlier

Stores have put on holiday attire and
decorations emblematic of the Yule-
tide and its patron saint, Santa Claus,
