The Reason

! Quite little csmment was caused
by The Closing Down Of the Anderson
Clio. Store some four weeks ago by the
Ferguson Adjustment Co.
IN explanation to the public, we wish
to say season of poor crops, in and
about this locality, together with the
depression of local industrial conditions
left us long on the better grade of
clothing-and short on the necessary
evil-"Cash."
Merchants noted for handling high
grade clothing all over the states
were left in similar condition. Sat
urday Evening Post of JAM IL, issue
Will confirm this statement. More
failures were noted in the month Of
Dec. 1911, than the year 1907-known
as the panic year. People out of work
naturally bought cheaper goods, thus
leaving-the better class Of merchan-
disc unsold, this was the direct course
of our close down, While the exact
financial condition of this concern
Is of little If any interest to the public
we are now in better position than
at any time that we have been in Ot-
tunlwa, and for spring are able to offer
you clean stock New in every de-
ta1l-and of much better value than
would of been possible had we not
adopted RADICAL means to close out all
High Priced goods at great sacri-
fee. This we canGUARANTEE POSI-
lively values in mems clothing for
spring are so much better dollar for
dollar, that the firms which did not
clean up on the past seasons goods
are not in position to offer anywhere
near the values in spring merchandise
that is possible for the merchant to
offer that cleaned up, as this firm did.
Thanking the public for the liberal
patronage-during the past year and
during the sale. We are yours with
better values, for spring than ever be-
fore, and that's going some.

That T. D. Edi-
torial.

The Timcs-Dcmocrat is much in
need of an editorial writer. \ man
not suffering from cercbro-negro-
phobia. Il hat terrible disease
which seems to bc peculiar to the
editorial sanctum of our famous
contemporary, the I. ID.
The editorial on the fine sens
bilitics of certain district Judge
which appeared in the Times Dem
ocrat one day this week would
have been admissible had the
writers ignorance not cropped out
through his last few words touch
ing the Negroes of Oklahoma.
The writer boastcd of the fact
that this judge would not allow
Negroes To sit on jurios and said he
didn't know of II white man in all
of Oklahoma who did not approve
this action. How many do you
know who think it right for a Judge
who is paid by the tax payers of
the state to thus discriminate a
gainst American citizens solely be-
cause Of color? 1t should be re-
mcmbcred that Negroes in Okla
homa are heavy tax payers and as
such contribute largely to the pub
lie funds which makes it possible
for District judges rs well as other
public officers, and if the colored
people are to be made to bear their
part of the public expense and yet
denied the privilege of realizing
any of the benefit thereof. Then
it seems to us that the white daily
papers should be last to boast OF
such deplorable conditions.

THE CROPS.

News from the southwest brings
the story that the grain yield is to be
big one this year. This will mean
whole lot for the car shops and
steel mills of the Calumet region and
it will certainly add impetus to the
locomotive business.
Estimates place the number of cars
required to haul the grain at $780,
900. Kansas alone will use $4,000
cars. To meet the forthcoming &C
tivity all southwestern roads have
started to work their car shops day
an dnights and one road is having so
locomotives built on hurry up orders
Every bushel of grain yielded by
the southwestern fields has a direct
bearing in the smoke-laden Calumet
valley. In Lake county proper the
hay and oats crop will probably be
record-breakers but the corn is not Sc
promising.

come enthusiastic but even were It
otherwise. 1t is well to remember
that there are some things In the
world that money cannot buy-some
happiness which come only to the
man who can find pleasure In his
daily tasks. There are not many
successful men who do not enjoy
their work. for nothing but keen
pleasure can persuade man to work
day and night. Love of money can
scarcely be said to be the inspiring
idea in the brain of millionaire
who works. What really keeps him
at work day and night is the fascina
tion of the game in which he takes a
daily part.
Be careful to make your start in
the right business. Sometimes one
can teach himself to enjoy almost
any business-but that is an un-
necessary hardship. 1t is much bet
ter to select the right one first.
