AND YUMA WEEKLY EXAMINER
ARIZONA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER
AND THE POPULAR SLOGAN OF
"DO YOUR CHRISTMAS. SHOP
PING EARLY"
IS SUGGESTED, TO
ALL YUMAITES
BETTER SELECTIONS CAN BE
MADE NOW VHOLE STOCKS
ARE FRESH AT PRESENT
IT ALSO MAKES IT EASIER ON THE
HARD-WORKED CLERKS, AND
THEY ARE DESERVING
OF SOME CONSID
ERATION No matter how many times it has
been repeated, the injunction to "do
your shopping early" has adirect bear
ing upon every individual in Yuma
who expects to use the stores in prep
aration for Christmas. This is not
nerely a matter of merchants' inter
ests, but it is to the advantage of the
buyers. Do your Christmas shopping
early because you can get better ser
vice now than later. Do it because
you can have a better choice of goods.
Do it because it is a contribution to
the welfare of the clerks in the stores
to equalize the pressure as much as
possible. Do it because you can more
accurately determine your scale of
Christmas investments now than dur
ing the last rushing days before the
holidays.
Early shopping ought to be a habit
with the majority of people. The
stores furnish inspiration to the Christ
mas gift seeker weeks before Decem
ber 25, spreading their attractive ar
rays of goods forth for selection. There
's small chance that by buying now one
will miss specialties that may be put
on the market later. The merchants
make their own preparations for the
Christmas trade many months in ad
vance, and are as well prepared for the
business in October as in December.
It is only fair to them to reciprocate.
They have invested immense sums of
money in their stocks, and, naturally,
they prefer to have them moved as
soon as possible.
This is a business matter. It is the
business of the buyer as well as the
seller. Yuma needs no special admoni
tion on this score, for it has heretofore
responded promptly to the suggestion
of early shopping, and it is even now
attending daily to the Christmas buy
ing in wise anticipation of the day of
gift making.
The national woman's suffrage as
sociation demands an equal standard
of morals for man and woman. It is
a matter that lies almost wholly in
the hands of the women of the nation.

ULL MOOSERS FIRED
y PRESIDENT TAR
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. President
Taft sent more than 200 recess ap
pointments to the senate today. Im
mediately there were indications of a
movement among the Democratic sen
ators to prevent their confirmation.
Senator Gore, it is said, will have the
active support of several colleagues in
this movement, and it is probable that
President Taft's appointments, said to
be 300Q in all, will not be confirmed,
and present officials will hold office
until after March 4 when Democrats
will be appointed.
IT IS CHEAPER
During the investigation of the Sugar
Trust, now on, it is shown that the
Beet Sugar Refiners' Association had
:?ood intentions even formally reso
luted intentions of withdrawing from
their agreement with the American Re
finers, but the good intentions were
never acted upon. Some of us with' re
tentive memories for such particular
ly interesting details, recall a report
that Hades is paved with good inten
tions instead of the regular asphalt
stuff, and we have concluded that the
sufficient reason therefor is that the
intentions are cheaper than asphalt.

in special session next January,, and
will Senator Cuniff be the president

The answer to this question, being
propounded in lobby talks, is an- af-.

there. Reports state that the.two.pre

"Mr. Bradner will call the'li6use,ibi

for organization, so that they will' be
already in the position to which they'
aspire," said a knowing politician. "If

ROAD COSTING (30,000
PHOENIX, Dec, 4 By a vote of 12
to 3 the electors of special road dis
trict No. 1 decided last Saturday to
issue $30,000 worth of 20-year 6 per
cent bonds for the purpose of complet
ing the Central avenue boulevard.
The election proved to be a very
ame affair. Only about 25 persona
appeared at the polling place, the Oa
born school, and only 15 of these were
qualified voters. Some of the others
had failed to register for the last gen
eral election and the property of some
wa3 held in the names of their wives.
As the suffrage amendment to the con
stitution is not yet in effect, the wive3
could not vote. Still others had failed
to have their deeds recorded, or, If
recorded, the property was still as
sessed to the former owners.
