CTILL Forging Ahead It's a great
y satisfaction to look back over pre-
vious years records and from month
to month find such substantial increases
in sales-not alone the increased sales,
but that abiding confidence which brings
the same old customers, their families
and friends, to this store to do their shop
ping year after year, month after month,
and hundreds of them almost daily. Then
the increasing number of new faces we
see gradually become familiar, and SO on
it goes-like the rolling of the snow ball,
constantly increasing.
There are reasons-many of them
but out to the front stands in bold relief
the one best reason-c0nfidence.
Superior merchandise, honestly priced,
the most for your money and an absolute
guarantee of values, are a combination
which has carried the fame of this store
far beyond the vision of most stores in
this neighborhood.

More administration and those thkt
have occurred since Mayor Pratt
went into office. There is strong
probability that the city council
will disregard the heads Of depart
ments and make a horizontal cut In
this levy Of from IN to 4 mills.
The levy for the support OF the
city schools remains unchanged,
but is levied differently. The school
board has levied Az mills direct
and will receive the equivalent 0E
three mills more from a special
school tax which the last legislar
ture compels the county commits
sioners to place on the general
property of the county.
The county levy Of five mills II
made to take care of deficit Of
over $4,000 that occurred last
year under the old board Of coun-

year. To accomplish, the levy has
been raised ITO of a mill, from asa
mills, where 1t stood last year.

ship in this organization. We de-
sire to say, further, that consid.
cradle proportion of the members
seldom attended the meeting of
the society, took no active part in
its affairs and were wholly ignor-
ant Of all it spolitical activities.
From the standpoint Of the public,
no criticism is to be made OF such
members.
Sixth: From what has been said
1t follows that in its actual work
ings the Panta Pantois has been
largely secret political society. As
such 1t contains tendencies inner.
emily dangerous to good govern

political power certainly would
lead, sooner or later, to an i'm

never happy because of his over
bearing nature and disrespect fol
his wife's natural rights. He came
home near midnight with no kind
words and fond kisses for the little
waiting woman like he used to
have. Instead, his words were
rough and stinging with sarcasm
and his whole bearing was insult
ing.
Always before she had borne his
insults, his kicks and all his abuses,
but this time her woman nature re-
vOlted against. 1t with all the fire
and fury peculiar to womankind
when once her ire is reused. She
sarcastically gave him her ulti-

ment, and with face drawn in de-
termination rose TO every possible
inch of her height before him, shak-
ing clenched fist in his face.
This was too much. In his ter
rible rage he sprang at his little
wife's slender throat like a savage
beast and hurled her to the floor
and began to kick and to beat her
as he had often done before. Right
