Goods Out of Style.

We know it is fact that many
articles are priced in these catalogues
cheaper than you can find them in
your home stores. Have you ever
thought of the reason why that is?
1t is not because he cannot get these
goods and sell them to you at just as
low prices, but it is because he is
afraid to sell you articles that have
no merit, because you can reach him
daily and expect him to make il
good, because you expect to get goods
of satisfactory quality or he may lose
your trade. He is your personal
friend and is afraid to sell you
goods he cannot commend. If he had
never seen you nor expected to, and
be several hundred miles away and
could get tile money first and hold
onto it, he would be in different
position,
Remember we don't want to say
that you can't get good goods from
these concerns, for we know you
can, but these batter grades cost you
as much and more than they do at
home, with the exception of a few
bats and leaders

They DON 7 Soil At Home.

1t would set city people wild if these
supply houses actually had values
with style and quality. They would
not need to leave their own large
cities to sell at the prices they quote
as the city people would go wild
over the bargains. But with style
and value lacking they dare not show
their goods in the city, where the
prospective customer would have the
opportunity for comparison, but by
cleverly worded and exaggerated de-
scription they make the country people
believe they are offeriug more desirable
wares than the country merchant
keeps at a lsss price, and having nc
opportunity for comparison before
buying, many people are actually
duped.

GIFT To KING
BY CARNEGIE
Special Dispatch to The Cali.


LONDON, April 19.-Americans who
have given the English town of Ply
mouth place in their European itin-
ested in story told by Dr. William J.
Holland, director of the Carnegie In
stitution at Pittsburg. Dr. Holland is
here to superintend the setting up of a
replica of the great diplodocus which
Andrew Carnegie has presented to King
Edward and which, at his Majesty S
suggestion, is being placed in the nat
ural history branch of the British Mu-
scum. In company with Arthur .Cogge-
SHALL one of the Carnegie Institution s
department. heads, DR.. Holland landed
at Plymouth from an incoming Ameri-
can liner and decided to spend Sunday
in the town.
Part of Sunday they gave to walk
about the old seaport, following as far
as possible the footsteps of the pilgrims
of 1920. One place after another said to
have been associated with the historic
emigrants they visited, until finally
they met q native who offered to show
them the actual house in which the
band met for the last time before set
ting out on their famous voyage.
Interested of course, DIR. Holland and
his colleague were taken to a building
of suitably ancient appearance, while
the native retailed the legends of the
last days before the Mayfiower's sail
ing. DR.. Holland, however, went so far
as to look up the owner of the building.
And so there's where our ancestors
met nearly 300 years back, is it?" he
asked.
Not that I know Of" replied the
owner. Il built that house about forty
years ago."
The diplodocus which DR.. Holland
ana his colleague brought with them
will be the largest representation of a
quadruped in the British Museum. I'm
der the direction of DR.. Holland the
replica has been made with such care
that II minutely resembles the real
skeleton, which the doctor himself
helped take out of the ground in Wyo-
ming few years ago. Thanks to care
full packing, it has come across the
ocean without accident, and as the ma
hogany bases upon which it will stand
have already been made in London
there will be no delay in getting the
huge creature into place. In shape 1t
somewhat resembles mastodon and Is
nearly thirty feet from the tip of its
nose to the end of its tail.
Early in May Carnegie will come to
London to present his gift in person.
Although this presentation will be q
ceremonious affair, its details have not
yet been arranged. 1t is very likely,
however, that either the King or some
member of the royal family will receive
the diplodocus.
While not actually at work on the
diplodocus, DR.. Holland will give his
time to studying his favorite branches
Of natural history. Sir, George Hamp-
son, director of the insect department
Of the museum, has given DIR. Holland
a place in one of the large front rooms
of the building, and this Will be the
doctors headquarters while in London.
DR.. Holland. whose present visit to
London Is his fourteenth. is we'll known
to the scientific societies here, and al
ready has renewed his acquaintance
with several Of their most distinguished
members.
