W|DEAWAKE

There are wideawake stores
and wideawake people. This
is wideawake store for wide
awake people.
A wideawake store is one
that provides the best goods,
enough of them, not too many;
sells them literally, and takes
the responsibility for 'em.
Wideawake buyers distin-
guish between the asleep
and wideawake stores, between
the true and the false, between
the close and generous dealing,
between the take your chance
and responsible stores, and be-
tween the goods that are sold
therein.

RELIEF IS AMPLE.
Secretary AlGer Tells of the Work
Being Done in the Mssis-

Washington, d. c., April 12.-Secre-
tary Alger thinks the worst of the Hood
dangers have passed in the Mississippi
valley and that with the force of the war
department which is in the field. cooper
ating as it is with the local relief com
mittees, there is small danger that great
suffering will be permitted to go IN
checked and unrelieyed. The one danger
to be avoided from now on i'll Secretary
Algers opinion, is the possible concentra-
ton of the destitute labOrers in the cities
and towns in order to secure the relief
which the government holds out 1t IS
highly important in the estimation OF the
secretary that this concentration be avert
ed as far as possible in order to make
sure that the farm laborers will not per-
marently desert their old homes and per-
haps become charges on the towns. Also,
it is felt that the labor of this class OF
refugees will be very necessary TO restore
the plantations and farms to workable
condition, and ensure the making OF crops
this year.
