The week after next is Christmas. Not just eighteen days away, but the week after next If that doesn't make you hustle round a bit, there must be something wrong with your feet Do your shopping early, and most important of all, do your mailing early.

PUZZLE ' Winter's outdoor sport in Klamath is navigating muddy streets and perambulating rocky roads. We are growing 80 fast we tiaven't learned yet how best to do things. Con sequently and regularly we wait till fall to begin street paving . and then cuss till spring because everything is so damnably upset Why and wherefore all the delay when the weather is fine, and all desolation of torn-up streets just when we need them most? A Fiji islander could figure things better than that, but since it is the usual occurrence, we ought to be accustomed to it by this time. ooo SOME THRILL Talk about the enterprising West! We are just plain pik ers ' compared with a potato stunt they are pulling off back East And since this is potato week here, this particular an nouncement should be of in terest: '- The Dimock Potato Corpora tion have grown on the Coolidge Homestead about 100 bushels ot select, carefully graded, uni formly sized potatoes of best strain for fancy oakers. A one peck box about 40 to 50 pota toescarefully packed, will be forwarded by parcel post, pre paid, to any address (while they last) on receipt ot (3.00. This comes all the way from Vermont, and is advertised as "a thrill for dinner guests." Here is a chance for Governor Patterson to capitalize the products of his farm and put them up in Christmas pack ages. It is surprising what one can do these days with clever advertising. Klamath has the potatoes. Now for someone to introduce a little novelty into the selling. -ooo- A LIMIT Telephone 877 No. 1 The suggestion of a woolen mill for this section may have seemed premature and vague, but apparently not to every one. It appears that a sub urb of Eugene is walking away with the proposition, "hook, bait and sinker," and giving us to understand that we are not tho only ones with industrial vision. The problem locally is how to keep pace with all the var- ious idca8 and. puow. eous.
