PEASANTS OF RUSSIA.
They Can't Read and Have to Be Aided
by Signs and Symbols.


All Russian shops have signs indicat.
ing the business carried on within
them, Most of them have paintings
describing the articles sold For ex.
ample. outside the fshmongers is a
large picture of fish; outside the butch
ers, Of meat; outside the poulterer's,
of chicken and game; outside the tea
shop, of teapots, glasses and saucers.
Houses are painted red green. yell
low, blue, so that the peasants may
easily differentiate them or explain
the way. Trains are sent off by bells
at the station because the peasants
cannot read the time tables. The first
bell, one chime, is a quarter of an hour
before the train starts; the second, two
chimes, is FIVE minutes before, and the
third. three chimes, means the train is
starting.
At postofices men are employed to
write letters for peasants or read them
at q fixed tariff: For addressing an en-.
velope. one farthlng; for writing post
card or short letter. penny farthing:
for writing a long letter. twopence
halfpenny. and for reading a letter
aloud, one penny. Every pillar box has
a picture of letter on 1t. so that the
peasant may know 1t is the place in

billboards, because the peasant cannot

terror, What is the value of these?"
He turned them over carelessly and
said: These are of no use to me:

This struck me as an original way Of
selling books, and gravely responded,
Every well-how much for them. them

LADIES' COATS

Our early showing of Coats is the
best we have ever shown so early in
the season The weather is surely
such as to create strong demand for
the medium weight Coat, and even the
heavy Coats seem to be taking ex-
ceptionally well for automobile use.
We are showing large line of the
Misses Junior Coats. These are the
Coats that fit the small women and
come in a style that is as good as
any of the ladies models. The Junior
Coat is a coat that is become to be
of greater demand than the Misses
Coats.
This line of coats we carry in
prices from $3.50 to $3.50. They
come in the plain kersies and mixtures
At $3.50 are some extremely good
models.
Our early showing of Misses Coats
is the largest and best we have ever
