Cotton is now moving to all the nations of Europe and to Asia, and
the situation bids fair to solve itself before the plans of the cotton fund
committees are fully matured. The demand is not yet sufficiently
strong, however, to cause cotton to command anything like a fair price,
and it will not until there is further assurance of a market and the
holding back of a considerable portion of the crop from sale at this
time.

The purchase of useful articles as Christmas gifts is not merely a
fad nor the policy of the niggardly. Surely the presentation of some-
thing of real value and usefulness to a friend is a greater token of love
and eBteem than the gift of some bauble, to be enjoyed for a moment
and then put aside. With some careful consideration given to the selec-
tion of gifts, the Christmas season will lose some of the elements which
make it a veritable nightmare to many people.
O
The blessings of peace as enjoyed in the United States are the more
pronounced since the European war. Peace and plenty go hand in hand,
and this nation approaches the close of the year 1916 with every reason
for self-congratulation. Business conditions are rapidly growing better
and more nearly approaching their former excellent status, good crops
have been harvested, industry faces a period of the greatest expansion
in recent years, and altogether the future looks exceedingly bright. And
Oklahoma will have her share of the general prosperity that will envelop
the country.
O
Two years Is the maximum estimate of the duration of the war set
by military circles in Washington, it is said, and many estimates made
are for a much shorter time. An element that is causing much specula-
tion is the probable part that the Turks will play in the conflict. If the
Turks are able to sufficiently harass Russia as to compel her to draw
upon her lines now facing the Germans, these lines may be so weakened
as to allow the Germans to witndrawsome of their forces to turn against
the French and the English, where additional troops aro sadly needed
As yet, however, the Turks are an unknown quantity as far as their
possible effectiveness in this war is concerned, and they may be able
only to embroil others of the Balkan states against the German empire.
O
A CVNMXi FACTORY SECURED.
The Chamber of Commerce has announced that one of the big and
substantial canning concerns of the country has practically agreed to
open a canning factory in Shawnee, guaranteeing a minimum price of
25c per buBhel for tomatoes grown under contract for their consumption.
The company that proposes to come here is a long-established and sub-
stantial concern with a reputation for Integrity and a high standing in
the industrial world. Their coming to Shawnee will be most welcome,
and their plant will be a valued addition to Shawnee's industrial insti-
tutions. •

Here Is a typical story of the good that the anti-tuberculosis cam-
paign is doing:
^Deserted by her husband, Buffering from tuberculosis in a doubly
form, and supporting herself and JroUttg boy by her needle, ttid Anti-
Tuberculosis Association in a Wcfctfcm city found the unfortunate con
aumptive, living in one room, with two little beds—one for herself and
one for her boy. Everything was clean, but, oh, so poor!
"That was a year ago.
\s- ••This morning aho took a train for New Mexico, where she goes to
live with her sister, hfippy at the thought of joining her friends and AO
Improved 111 health that there is no apparent reason why she may not
Q&j&y years of life. For the past year she haa been under Ihe tare of
the association. She was sent to a sanatorium until she Wfts Btrong
enough to undergo a major operation, when she was lent to a local
hospital and given expert surgical services.
"This morning, with a luncheon basket of delicacies packed by
friends In tho association and with transportation provided by the co-
operation of tho Associated Charities and the railroad, she started on her
journey comparatively a well woman. She said she was free from pain
for the first time in ten years.
t "That's what Red Cross Seals did. Buy yours today.'1

AID THK BELGIANS.
Shawnee people today will have an opportunity to give something
for the relief of the starving Belgians. In fcach church in the city, in
accordance with the request of the Oklahoma Belgian relief committee
and Governor Cruce, collections will be taken for the benefit of the Bel-
gian relief fund.
In the m&tter of giving Shawnee should not be a laggard. Shawnee
people should give as much proportionately as Tfie people of any other
city in the state. It is up to Shawnee today to make good, and to con-
tribute liberally to the worthy cause which has been brought to their
attention.
Governor-elect R. L. Williams chairman of the Oklahoma Belgian
Relief Committee, though naturally much occupied with the duties in-
cident to the near approach of his inauguration, is giving active atten-
tion to putting Oklahoma in the forefront of those states of the union
who are participating in this great and noble work of succoring a much
diptressed people. Judge Williams has expressed his pleasure that most
of the ministers of Shawnee have agreed to receive a collection for the
^Belgian fund today, and at the further fact that some of philanthropic
ladles of Shawnee will this weok become active in the raising of a fund
to be added to this, to the end that Shawnee may do her share, and
compare favorably with other cities of like size.
Wlille Shawnee citizens are interesting themselves in the Belgians,
however, they will not forget the needs at home and will exhibit their
usual Christmas spirit toward those of their fellow-citizens who are In
need, of whom there are probably a great many less than in other cities
of like size Lnd industrial importance.

The Holiday Seasons brings with
its pleasures a desire to see the
relatives and near friends.
A visit to several of them this
Christmas time may not be conven-
ient; but the growing cust6m of
sending a photograph affords a
means of giving them an unexpect-
ed pleasure, which, though not like
a visit, will be treasured far more
than a bit of merchandise.
Although equipped for unusually
prompt service we should have time
for careful consideration of your
wishes and for skillful attention to
likeness, expression and quality.
My specialty is: Satisfactory Pho-
tographs.
