Clothing Stocks Sacrificed


A RETAILING MASTERSTROKE- the most
~ sturendous distribution and most remark
able value giving event since the opening Of
our now famous I'd floor clothing deptm't Assert
ments here never have or never will hold anything
but the best of those makers in whom we have the
utmost confidence and every garment, no matter
under what condition it is purchased must come
up to exact requirement in the most minute detail
of quality, it fashion and finish The enormous
lots at present involved secured at almost I'M
beievabe concessions and it is doubtful if parallel
ed conditions will exist again. at least for another
year to come. There is no name more favorably
known in the trade than that of IsidOr Hammer
slough, 81 Lafayette Place, New York City, cele-
brated the country for turning out the highest
or ne clothes for man, youth and boy. To the fact
tn 1t he is retiring from business and closing out
hi entire stock at cost and loss may be attributed
m my of the greatest bargains that this sale affords
homo others contributing are E. Phillips. of
us Broadway. and A. l.. Werner, s Co., 7oS
Broadway, who sold us their entire seasons ac-
Gu naton of house and road samples, amounting
in all to fifteen hundred pairs of the werner
Made" Trousers. Remember that the poorly fashion
3D. carelessly finished or sweatshop product is
nevAr under any circumstances, found here and
that every garment carries with it a guarantee of
satisfaction for the wearer

The present secretary of agriculture
is pronounced optimist, and for that
he commands our sincere respect, for
optimists do something, see something
and stir up the better side of human
ity. He sees government irrigation,
once dream, now reality, and the
growing of our own sugar to be sold to
the consumer at the low price of 2
cents pound practical possibility in
the near future.

Everything in the cellar will keep
better If the temperature can be kept
just above the freezing point. Most
cellars are kept too warm and are too
poorly ventilated. When potatoes be-
gin to sprout, you may know that your
cellar is too warm.

The best timothy hay is quoted at $14
per ton in the larger cities this winter,
which price and the very large yield of
timothy in 1902 make the growing Of
this crop profitable business.

A friend in Miss J.ri writes us that

nuts for the winter in az q one place,
but bury them in the earth here and
there, where they are dug out as need

cute ways of securing a distribution of

en- just the right treatment to insure
their termination in the spring, the
squirrel not using them all for food.

A northern man who moved to Ar
kansas five years ago with very linn
tied means writes us eXtolling the ad-
vantages of that country as home for
the poor man. He says that land of
good fair quality can be obtained as
low as So per acre, that no colored peo-
pie are to be found in the county, that
fruit of all kinds does exceedingly well,
that the health of the people is unusu-
ally good and that the great need of
the south is the incoming Of energetic,
live northern farmers to develop its
splendid possibilities.

One inducement for the old farmer to
difference in the rate of taxation which
prevails between the country districts
and our modern municipalities. The
cost of municipal government constant
ly increases. The tax on an average
$4,000 farm is, say, $65, while the city
tax on the same amount of moneys and
credits would not be far from $500.

We find that it does not pay to try to

A country which waged an expensive
war to liberate and regenerate weak
and helpless people from purely hui
manitarian standpoint ought to have
sense enough to so legislate as to rid its
own people of the evils of food adulter-
alton. Let the next war be waged on
the rascals who wax fat on frauds per-
petrated upon and quietly submitted to
by the American people-the dopers,
fixers, mixers, adulterators and swim

Does it pay to put lightning rod
on the barn?" we are asked. Frankly,
we do not know. Figures for 1902 show
that in western state fifty odd barns
were struck by lightning and that none
of these were rodded. Then there were
thousands of barns not rodded which
were not struck either. Theoretically if
the rod is of the right sort and is prop
erly put up it should form protec-
ton, but when the points glisten on the
roof and the earth connection is de-
fective or destroyed it is standing In
vitation to Jove to drop a bolt and
smite the property of a fool. We have
more faith in good insurance policy
than In lightning rod.

Rye is not estimated at its true value
as fall and early spring forage crop
up in the north country where the
snow falls. Sown on the cut cornfield
in September, then pastured till snow
comes and again as soon as it disap-
pears in the spring, it pays well even if
the remnant is plowed under in May
for other crops. Grass seed sown on
such field in March is almost invari-
ably sure catch. This fall and spring
rye pasture is just the thing for the
dairy cows.

We want to say a word about the
morality and patriotism connected
with the payment of small obligations.
We have found in our experience that
it is easier to collect $50 from some
people than it is the paltry sum of half
a dollar. A mans credit in the COM
munity in which he lives is largely de-
termined by the fidelity and prompt
ness with which he meets his small OBJ
legations. This applies with special
force in the case of men with limited
means to whom a creditable financial
rating to the extent of their ability is
often of the very greatest value.
