Good Time Just Nolu
to Replenish That
Depleted Wardrobe


THE first clothes event of the New
Year is not change OF fashion
but the crucial moment for the
purchase of clothes at economies.
Unfortunately for the merchants
many women plan for the replenlsh
ing Of their wardrobes at this season
when prices are diminished.
Especially American women are
thus clothes-wise. Such women are
not only financiers. but are geniuses
therefore they deserve not only the
admiration of others less knowing
but their husbands. writes Marion
Morris In the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Last January a woman know de-
layed for ten days trip that her hus'
band had planned, simply because she
wanted to save money on the clothes
that she needed. At first her husband
was furious and even threatened to
go without her. But she argued that
he could easily change his plans with.
out any loss. and she could economize
considerably. OF course. she won!
She took advantage OF numerous re.
duction sales, and because she was q
clothes-wise woman was able to select
a charming wardrobe for about half
the amount she would have had to pay
the week before. Afterwards her hus.
band was glad for the delay-when
much larger than he had anticipated.
However. a woman must be convers.
ant with values to be able to reap a
harvest OF economies. The woman
who does not. and also the one who
has no foresight about styles-may be
favorably compared with the man who
buys gold brick"
This year the knowing woman can
easily save more money than ever be-
fore. Why?
Prices Must Be Cut.
For several weeks the newspapers
have published many bargain sales Of
women's clothes-this signifies that
the market is crowded and that the
pressure was too great to hold out un-
I'll now. During December. women
gave little thought to any shopping
except for Christmas. so the market
was but little relieved. Now comes
Nuc ouriouhht. anu II Will Oc Ihc
most drastic cut OF prices in years.
To explain the reason l must turn the
calendar back more than six months.
Last May and the beginning OF June
were quite cool and women did not
buy summer clothes until the weather
changed. As result. many stores
held back their orders and that pre-
vented the makers from starting on
their autumn models. Finally when
they did start. labor troubles occurred
throughout the country and every.
thing stopped until the early autumn.
Unfortunately. the warm weather
lasted until later than usual. When
the manufacturers started on their
winter work they hurried to make up
for lost time. thinking that the women
who usually bought early would buy
later. However. their calculations
were overestimated and now the mar.
ket is flooded with some Of the pref
tiest attire fashion has created in
many seasons. So now there are
dozens Of advantageous opportunities
heretofore unknown even to the
clothes-wise woman.

WOLVES CAUGHT
Three Extra Boys Crossing Brush
Pasture round Nest Of Young
Wolves. For Find Received
$17.50.

Frank Masching, Wayne Fowler

Archie Van Aernam's pasture came
across VOLTS nest with seven baby
wolves in it. The boys took possession
OF the youngsters which were taken
to the County Seat where they receiv-
ed the reward for their labors, $I7. so.
Wolves are very plentiful here. The
brush pastures particularly are infest-
ed with them, because aside from cat
tie and horses they are never disturb
ed and the old ones can raise their
young without molestation. A wolf
hunt would be we'll patronized and is
necessary for their extinction. The
sheep killed over this part of the coun-
ty is causing the industry to be de-
moralized and the loss very heavy.

are hundreds of dollars worth of loss

SURE AS GOSPEL
This Interests You Brother and Sister
And May Mean Many Dollars.
Give It Thought.

If all our people followed the ex-
ample OF some of our citizens and
bought everything possible away
from home, we would have precious
few retail stores left. What would
happen in that case? A large sec
tion of our people, including mer-
chants and their clerks and the
trades people who cater to them,
would move away. Not merely that
but the decadence of our pusi-
ness life would manifest itself
in our business center. Stores to
rent, an air of decadence, of strug-
gle to meet obligations, would settle
like pail over our town.
Any person thinking of locating
here for business or residence
would get an Impression that this
is dead town and would not come.
But suppose all of our people
bought goods at home whenever
possible, what would be the result?
Tha first thing that would happen
would be distinct increase in the
business done, with a chance for
more people to gain livelihood
here. More than that, the sprucing
up and expansion of our retail trade
that would then take place would
give an added Impression of
bright business future that would
okf - uouD
The story of snccess in retail
trade has many chapters telling of
great results achieved by men in
seemingly unfayorable locations.
The side street merchant VINO does
not advertise is fighting against
two great currents of trade. He
must contend against the drift of
the public along the main streets
and against the stronger drift to
the store that tells the best story in
the newspaper.
The eide street merchant who
does not advertise impresses the
public as choosing his location to
reduce the cost of his goods to the.
public. If he has enterprise to prove
by newspaper space that he offers
attractive propositions, the public
will look at it that it is an economy
to buy goods of him. Bargain hunt
ers then find certain zest in hunt
ing him up and they enjoy telling
their friends about it.
The merchant who trusts to CEN
trail location minus any effort to
tell the public what he is doing,
gives an impression of decayed re-
spectability. 1t looks to theapublic
as if he had made money in the
past, but as if he were too satisfied
with his gains to make much effort
for new customers or to be very
watchful CT the interests of his old
er adherents.
