Carrying happiness to those less fortu-

neighbor or friend out of work or not
able TO work, a dollars worth of dolls

1t is not necessary to give the range
of prices throughout the list, that
would necessitate much repetition. OF
course, you will not buy the finest but
good, serviceable things. There are no
trashy goods at Higgs' but prices are
lowest here always, we believe, for
sound merchandise.

plants something that he knows

how much meat il will make for
his family or his neighbor's family,
and consequently if the market

eat his hog. For this very same
reason, corn is the same kind Of a
