tire, commencing Tuesday, March %.
The scenes OF the play are laid among

Quietude. He learns Of a grevious sin
committed by his son, whom he

He painted her picture and when he
went back to the city, deserving the
girl, he earned fame because of the
canvas. The girl, deserted and broken
hearted, dies leaving behind her half
Fitted son.
Tt is to the home of this dead and
Nwronged girl that the father of the
artist comes. and here he is employed
to watch the sheep. He grows to
he and the half-witted boy, Pete, be-
come friends Then there is love

adds to its attractiveness. It is the
love of a young giant of the hills for
Sammy Lane, girl of unusual quail
ties.
The cast has been selected for their
peculiar fitness for each style.

Good MerchondiSe---Hs
Relation to This Store

Emerson says the true test Of govern
ment is the kind Of men it produces.
We say the true test Of a store is the
kind of merchandise it affords
There is no royal road to perfect store
keeping; neither luck nor accident can
bring it to pass.
Let it only be proven to the people
that your goods are right and the savings
real, and the rest will take care of itself.
Money talks; so does merit in mer-
chandise
The merchandise we have sold in the
past has been talking for us; the money
that people have saved on special values
we have afforded them has been talking
for us. We do not hope to talk more con
vincingly.
1t is hardly possible that any other
store could have learned better than we.
how good merchandise, fairly priced, can
make business grow.
We are frank to say we have learned
this to our profit.
For it is the merchandise which we
have sold i'll the past that changed the lit
tie thlee-story building into one Of the
greatest stores in the South 1t must have
been pretty good, to say the least Of it.
And i'll the future we are going to do
all we can to impress you with the mer-
chandise merits and the business ideals
that have made the new store possible.

Store Policy and
Service Simply Told

VOltaire spoke Of those who ''emplOy
speech only to conceal their thoughts"
There are enough plain, brief words in
common use to describe anything, provid-
ed the speaker understands his subject
There was wise and honest teacher
who was asked one day to explain GER
tain problem; he replied: Il haven't time
now. If | knew it thoroughly | could tell
you III few minutes, but as | know it only
imperfectly it would take me an hour"
When one does not know, and wants to
make others think he knows, then is the
time to use words with which your lis
teners are unfamiliar.
For instance, when the physician does
not wish you to know what your trouble
is, he will speak of your exanthematous
malady and says he is giving you de-
tergent.
If he had said he was giving you some
thing to cleanse your system or to stimu-
late your heart, you would have under
stood, which would have been bad for YOU
But there is nothing you should not, or
may not, know about our methods of store
keeping, and we will eliminate all COM
mercial technique and tell you in plain
simple words something about the store
its policy, its service, its equipment;
subject which we believe we know thor

The Foundation of
Business Is Confidence

We do not lock our confidence in the
safe. We deposit it in turn with the
wholesaler, who passes it on to the manu-
facturer And the manufacturer, to make
the circle complete, must give confidence
to the consumer.
Business, once an aggregation of deals,
with us has become the living embodi-
ment Of ideals.
1t is absolutely necessary for us to en-
Joy the confidence of our customers.
We know this, and we are doing every
thing that is humanity possible to gain
your confidence.
We sell no goods that are not absolute
ly dependable.
We stand back of everything we sell.
and our interest in the matter does not
end until the sale is perfectly satisfactory
to you.
This is fixed policy Of our business.
First, because it is right; and secondly,
because it pays-for you and for us.
In other words, the principle of utmost
value-giving against the old method of
getting all one could in the way of profits.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The adminis-
tration currency bill. in its final FORM
was reported to both houses of con-
gress to be written into law. The
members of the conference committee
which labored until dawn this morn
ing threshing out the differences be-
tween the two houses, presented a per-
fected measure which followed close
ly the lines laid down by the presi-
dent.
A general desire among the legisla-
tors to get away from Washington for
the holidays resulted in a programme
calculated by democratic leaders to
place the bill before President Wilson
fer signature, tonight and ,clear ttse
way for an Immediate recess. In the
house the procedure called for the set
ting aside Of the rules SO that the con-
ference. report would not be required
to lay over one day.
In the senate the leaders endeavor-
ed to smooth away obstacles, the chief
Of which was an incipient protest by
the supporters of the provisions for
the insurance Of bank deposits, which
was stricken out of the bill in con-
ference.
The confereees agreed on practi-
cally all the fundamentals Of the meas
ure as 1t passed the senate, including
the provision that not less than eight
nor more than twelve regional banks
should be created
The reserve requirements for banks
entering the system, which had been
slightly let down by the senate. was
strengthened in conference, the amend
ment allowing the use of the present
bank notes In place of the proposed
new federal reserve notes in bank re-
serves being stricken out.
The last long drawn out struggle of
the conference, resulted from the ad-
ministration decentralization that the
comptroller be given a place on the
federal reserve board which will con-
troll the new system. The senate con-
ferees were evenly divided on this
proposition, three senators joining

RABBITS FALL EASY PREY.

Esmond, N. D., Dec. %. - Tne
complete absence Of snow so Tar
this winter has been fatal to large
numbers Of jackrabbits and
weasels. Nature has apparently
played an unkind trick on these
animals by turning them white as
snow, and then not sending any
snow to hide them. A Jackrabb1t
can be seen for miles on the plow-
ed fields, glistening white on the
bare black earth, and 1t iG no trou-
BILE at all to find them. Many arc
shot by the farmer boys. and some
are hunted with greyhounds-
The roads are perfect for auto
mobiling, and one automobilist
killed eighteen jackrabbits on the
road between here and Maddox.
The inquisitive little weasel pokes
his white head out Of gopher
hole, on the plowing, and the
farmers boy drills a little hole
through 1t with a rifle. The pelt
takes trip by parcel post to the
fur dealer and the boy pockets
$3.50 with which to buy more
cartridges.
The 22-caliber rife, which Is SO
extensively used in North Dakota
for shooting gophers. Is teaching
the North Dakota boy to become
an expert shot, and these boys will
be heard from If they are never
called on to do duty as soldiers.

Government Proposes
the Establishment OF

Washington, Dec. 22.-The. report OF

Stewart, made public last night, dis"
closes the fact that the postofflce de-
1artment expects to reduce the In
creased expenditures for railway car
service by establishing railway
/ terminal postoffice aud requiring a
separation by routes of first and sec
0nd class mails of publishers.
During last year, says the report, a
large amount Of additional car space
was required because of the estab-
fishinent of the parcel post system
THAT the extension of the service
necessitated a considerable increase IN
the annual expenditure for car rental
ID shown in the statement that from
Tan. III to Nov 30, 1913, there was 9
net increase of $451,072.69. Mr.. Stew
art expects however, to reduce these
expenditures by instituting the re-
ported changes.
The report shows that the cost o1
operating rail, ocean, river, lake
street car, screen wagon, pneumatic
4 tube and mail messenger service dur
ing the year ended June 80 last, was
q s86102. .237,54. This sum will be in.

given to discussion Of the trans
portation of periodical mail by fast
freight. Mr.. Stewart says that this
method of transportation has been
generally satisfactory to publishers,
"as in most cases 1t has been practt-
cable to overcome the slower move
ment In freight trains by advancing
the date of delivery to the postoffice
at the point of origin Some publish

publications. In such instances 1t has
been the policy of the department, af-
ter adequate showing has been made.
to transport the mail in regular mall
trains.
Consideration is being given to the
question Of additional compensation
for the transportation of the mails and
a report will be made to congress by
the commission appointed to conduct
the inquiry by or before March 4,
1914.
Such experiments as heretofore
have been made in the carrying Of
mail by aeroplanes have been coli
Quoted without expense to the govern
ment, although the mails thus trans

Fargo promises to be an even greater
success than last year.
About 400 poor children have been
