PEOPLES CASH STORE
 DOLpH BAATz & co.
No Argument Will Contradict
 the Assertion

The fact is indelibly impressed mon the minds of the trading public.
 The pudding has been eaten, and from the partaking thereof comes the proof.
 Dolph Baatz & O., proprietors of the Peoples Cash Store, are inc conceded leaders in low prices and high qualities.
 We told you last Sunday of the experience of a certain Globe lady with an eastern mail order house. Scores who had been sim lsrly deceived related their ex- periences to US during the past week.
 It was the same old, old story.
 Money could have been saved if the purchase had been made at the house of Baatz. Qualities voald have been better, more sqtisfaction in the wanted color, and a perfect fit assured with no annoyance or expense to the pat ron.
 There was a number Of mail order catalogues brought to our store during the past few days. The goods and the prices were compared and the people remained to buy from us. Bring your cat alogue down and you'll stop spend ing your money abroad; you'll avoid tiresome delays in ship ments: you'll trade here; that's the idea; and you'll get perfect satisfaction; and above all goods that are right and prices that are night.

CROOKED BANKING
 ON LARGE SCALE
Temporary Receivers of New York Trust Companies
 Make Reports

NEW YORK, November 3O.-Attor- ney General Jackson made public today the report of the temporary receivers of the Williamsburg Trust company of Brooklyn and the International Trust company of New York, both of which recently suspended. The matter will be taken before the grand jury. The presi- dent of the Williamsburg Trust com pany was Frank Jenkins, who, with his | brothers, John G. Jenkins .Jr. and Fred J. Jenkins, held controlling interest in the Jenkins Trust company, now sus- pended. The International Trust com pany was closely allied with the Bor- ough Bank of Brooklyn, the late How ard Maxwell, who committed suicide, having been president of both institu- tions. William Cow, director in the | Borough bank and International Trust company, is charged by the temporary receivers with dominating the Inter national company and so controlling it's financial operations as to make large sums.
 Frank l.. Bahst, temporary receiver of the Williamsburg Trust company, says the company made loans to the amount of approximately $222,O0O to five clerks in the employ of Frank and F. J. Jenkins Jr., a stock brokerage firm. These clerks figured in loans from the Borough bank. The receiver also states that the Williamsburg company made a demand loan to c. H. Reuter- for $l71 300 which was not guaranteed and for which they held collateral for $73,14S. A loan of $25,000 to James Hart, son-in-law of J. G. Jenkins Sr., for which collateral held is estimated at 2,40O. Concerning other loans, az gregating $476,000, the receiver states that the collateral estimated at $275,000 | is held upon these loans, there being an estimated loss of $200,000 placed by the bank examiner
 Bahst shows that within four days preceding the closing of the Williams burg company several directors with drew practically all their deposits.
 Goodwin Brown, temporary receiver of the International Trust company, says that the book value of it's demands loans is $43,450, and of this sum $32,- 25O is doubtful. The receiver charges that William Cow, director, paid $307 ,000 for lease which he sold to the company for $457,545. The receiver also states that Cow withdrew from the company $345,S52 in cash on October 2lg gH Sfe@taays before the institution ,Fsuspended. ts<E

ARMY SURPRISED WHEN NAVY L|CKS
 II AT FOOTBALL
Mldshipnen Defeat Cadets in Annual Game at PhiIadeI- /.
 phia-Score 6 to 0

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, November 30. The navy today defeated the army in the annual contest on Franklin field by score of 6 to O. Before brilliant representative assembly of nearly 30,- 900 persons the game was played. AL though the score looks close, the West Point team never seriously threatened the Annapolis goal, the midshipmen playing all around their opponents at nearly every stage of the contest. The result was surprise to the army, for, with heavier men, more experienced and a better season s record than the navy, the cadets could see nothing but vic tory. The navy soon put the army on the run, but like good soldiers, the army came back and fought very hard. It was no use, however, for it was the navy's day
 The game was marred by fumbling and other misplays. The new style plays, particularly the forward pass, failed nearly every time they were tried. Both teams resorted to much bunting and end runs.
 The only score in the game was made in the first half The midshipmen twice had the ball within striking distance, but failed each time. They failed to follow up their advantage, but finally after bunting and due largely to army fumbes, the midshipmen fell with the pigskin on the army's 26-yard line
 Left Half Back Douglas went through the West Point line for ten yards. A forward pass helped some and another line play put the ball two yards from the cadets goal, The army braced up, but the navy was not to be defeated. Douglas-was called on again and with a nightly plung went over for touch. down. Lang kicked goal, There was little doing the remainder of the half. The second half was mostly listless, play frequently being stopped to enable trainers to fix injured men. Each team constantly punted in hope of recovering the ball on fumbles in the opponents territory. This frequently happened. The star of the game was Captain Doug las. His bunting was uniformly good and his tackling swift, but it was in running with the ball where he showed best. For the army Beavers was called upon to do most,of the work and played 3 brilliant game until forced to leave the field through injuries.
 Society was out in force to witness the game. Though the president was not present, he was represented by Miss Ethel Roosevelt, who was the guest of acting Secretary of War Oliver and the Misses Oliver The Oliver party in eluded Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Beekman. Secretary Metealf officially represented the navy depart ment and he was accompanied by Mrs. Metcalf and Senator and Mrs. Flint of California.

THANKSGIVING Day.

The duty of giving thanks to God
for benefits and blessings enjoyed by
individuals is plainly and forcibly
taught in the Bible, and it's reasonable
ness and propriety will be acknowE
edged by all who admit the existence
and providence of God. With equal
c~learness and authority does God call
upon nations, with which He deals as
really as He does with persons. to
acknowledge Him in all their ways.
to obey His laws, and to render Him
thanks for the protection bestowed
upon item, and for His patience with
them Notwithstanding their forgetful-
ness of Him and their rebellion against
His government. And If nations are
under obligations to give thanks to
God, it is the duty of rulers to remind
them Of this, and to designate the
time for this service, and it Is the
duty of the people to comply heartily
with this appointment"

THANKSGIVING DINNER
REAL LUXURY THIS YEAR
Costs Twenty-Five Per Cent More Than 1t Did Some
Ten Years Ago-EOerything Boosted.

Prudent housewives who keep in
close touch with market prices, affirm
that every rear the Thanksgiving
dinner costs more, and the 1907 meal
will attain the high water mark.
The mother who spends her day in
the kitchen preparing the splendid
feast Of turkey, pumpkin pies, celery
and fruit that ranks the big event of
the great national holiday, must have
a well filled purse to meet the increas-
ed demands Of those from whom she
purchases her supplies.
In fact ten years ago, one short dec
ade, it was possible to set out the
meal for fully 25 per cent less than it
costs this year.
The turkey has mounted SO in price
that many housekeepers with limited
means have been forced to supplant it
with the duck and the goose, and 9th
er essentials have advanced so steadi-
ly that in mar homes fowl disap-
pears from the table altogether.
The boost in the price of turkey is
perhaps the worst of the catastrophes,

day what the firecracker is to the
Fourth of July. or the gift to Christ
mas.
The turkey is soaring steadily. 1t
used to be possible to buy the finest
for IA cents a pound, now the average
is over 20 cents, and in many cases
the fancy price mounts up to 25 cents.
Even at the 20-cent figure this is an
advance of 6 cents a pound, and as it
takes a fifteen-pound turkey to meet
the demands of the ordinary good
sized family, the price of the dinner
on the turkey alone is advanced 81.
Other similar increases help to
make the problem more troublesome.
Butter costs from 6 to 10 cents a
pound more than it did a decade ago.
The egg that plays such a part in the
preparation of the various dressings
is now from s to 10 cents a dozen
higher than in 1906.
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1907-11-21

So with the fruit. The oranges that
are spread at the finish of the meal
cost a dollar a box more, the bananas
SIS cents q bunch more Nuts have in
creased in price IL cents a pound,
and the cheese that gees with them
as the ideal finish to a big dinner, is
worth on an average Of 5 cents more
per pound than it used to be.
The coffee and tea are both mount
fng, especially the latter, which is nov
81 cents higher than formerly.
The pepper that goes into the sea-
soning is now valued 5 cents higher
per pound.
Surprising in dismay at the threat
ened cost Of turkeys, the prudent
housewife turns to ducks, she does not
get a great deal of comfort. They are
cheaper, but only a shade, and all
meats have felt the upward influence,
and cost considerably more per pound
than they used to.
Truly things have changed since the

mains over to his wife for the feast
OF the year. In his own garden patch
ne gathered all the vegetables he
needed, and with all the essentials
for mince meat the wife was able to
make the favorite pie.
Even later than the Puritan days,

wives and mothers prided themselves
on their mincemeat, and would have
shrunk from buying it ready made,
but now the essentials cost so much
that she is driven to the extremes of
buying the pies ready made or taking
a chance on the doubtful materials
that go into mill-made mincemeat.

house In which the meal Is eaten
brings a higher rental.
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1907-11-21

There is no thought of demagogery,
no politics in this. 1t is a plain, IN
vanished statement Of fact, gained
from newspaper quotations, govern
ment reports and the everyday ex-
perience Of all h~ouseholders with
marketbaskets to fill.
There are compensating circum-
stances. Thanksgiving day never
found more of us at work at good
wages than just now.
This is perhaps the best cause of
thanksgiving, and will give an added
relish to the high-priced dinner.
