TT AVE t1i15 { t6;. , ever
for white Shirts?
The Haberdashery Sec
ton is a big department
of itself, and there's no
more important item in
all it's. selling than dress
shirts for men.
We begin at 46c for a
fairly good one, strong
enough and well made,
not very fine as to the
linen of the bosom or the
muslin of the body, but
you don't notice that,
when it is Numbered, the
starch and iron put it on
a level with the high cost
ones as far as looks goes.
We wouldn't sell it at all
if we didn't believe in its
goodness. and we coMlam't
sell hundreds of dozens a
year if the real merit was
not there.
For 75c you can get a
better one, or you can go
to 81 or SI.25. Finer cot
ton, finer linen, better pearl
buttons, evener stitching,
a little more pains taken
with the gussets and but
ton holes, everything a bit
more ample all around---
that's what makes a shirt
cost.
We make shirts to or
der, from measure, of as
good materials as we can
get, and we warrant a sat
isfactory fit. If you will
pay $3.50 you can have
shirts made specially for
you.

cosToF GROWING WOOL.


The American Sheep Raiser Cannot Com
pete with the Australian.
Ignoring the difference in freight
against the American woolgrowr. the
Australian woolgrower has the advan
tage of pasture all the year round, the
pasture in Australia being better in
winter than in summer. The WOOL
grower in Australia rents his land from
the government for a smaller charge
than the Ohio woolgrower in many cases
pays in taxes alone, and the latter, ow-
ing to our rigorous winter climate for
five months in the year, feeds his sheep
hay and grain, nearly the whole Of
which is labor. 1t costs nothing to grow
hay or grain. Nature does that
The main cost to the farmer of har
and grain is in the preparing Of the
land, in cultivating, in harvesting and
the feeding. which are all labor, anc
which represent 90 per cent Of the whole
cost Of production, the remaining 10 PEE
cent representing interest and taxes
Under these Conditions the cost Of rails
ing wool in the United States is ct least
IL cents per pound in actual outlay
greater than the cost Of raising the same
class of wool in Australia or the Argen-
tine Republic. and the Mckinley tariff
law placed the duty Of IL cents per
pound on imported unwashed wool to
put the American woolgrower ON even
terms with his foreign competitor. The
latter has advantages Of cheap land. Of
climatic condition and cheaper freight
