Of the strike, so sothe say. their
extravagance has no doubt some
thing to do with it, but we use to
ask if people applied themselves ac-
cording to their income, wouldn't
times be better? Don't buy what
you can't pay for, and when you
must bny make yot1r cash go as far
as possible. We are clearing our
stock of all goods we possibly can,
so when we 60 to market we can
supply everything new at new pric-
es. Everything in the store at less

longing to an international society have
been taken into custody. The police are
