An event waited for with more than
usual interest by many thrifty house
wives Is the big annual Thanksgiving
sale which commences tomorrow at
the store of Frank Jacoby, 1888 Broad
street, directly opposite the Post Of
flee. Mr.. Jacoby and at this period
the price reductions made on all mer-
chandise is not only real but of such
6. money saving character that all who
have patronized him at this time in
previous years know that some big
and genuine bargains await them.
Throughout Mr.. Jaooby's career as
g. clothing merchant in this town he
has been a giver of extraordinary
values at all times. The Thanksgiv-
ing sale however, is a departure from
his regular custom, and prices are cut
with absolutely no thought OF money
making on his part.
This sale coming as it does at the
height Of the season when many are
planning Thanksgiving trips and for
other holiday festivities. To all such
this sale comes as a. boon. No doubt
a simple announcement of this money
saving event would attract wide
spread interest but Mr.. Jacoby has an
nounced in a page advertisement else
where in this paper the extraordinary
price inducement he is making to at
tract, not only old patrons but new
trade to his store.

COLOMBIA HOLDING OUT.
Republic Said to Believe New Adj

Unless the Republic OF Colombia is
prepared to take a more reasonable and
friendly view" of the Panama question
the United States will make no further
overtures nor offer compensation. ac-
cording to the report OF Secretary of
State Knox, transmitted to Congress yes
terday by President Taft. Offers rang
ing from S2,5O0OOO to $25, ,000. 900 have been
officially and unofficially made, reported
Secretary Knox, for compensation for in
juries resulting from the revolution of
the Republic of Panama, the possession
of the Canal Zone by the United States.
and the control Of two islands near the
Atlantic entrance. which are Colombian
possessions.
The South American republic has per-
sistently refused to state the damages
estimated by itself. and asks for ''ade-
quate compensation or a complete arbi-
tration of the whole matter" says Sec
retary Knox.
Belief by the Colombian government
that Woodrow Wilson and the incoming
Democratic administration will arbitrate
the question Is given as the reason for
the unfriendly rebuff to all overtures by
this government so far.

BIJILDING OF ROADS
Will Be DISCUSSED
Federal Aid Good Roads Congress to
Meet Here Next Thursday
and Friday.
= EXPERTS In WORK WILL SPEAK

The second convention of the Federal
Aid Good Roads Congress will be held
here Thursday and Friday under the
auspices OF the American Automobile AS
scciation.
The gathering will be a most important
one since its aim is to secure Federal aid
in the constructing of a comprehensive
, system of roads stretching clear across
the continent.
The attitude of Congress toward this
project was reflected in the appointment
of a Joint committee from the Senate
. and House to look into the matter. The
committee, of which Senator Jonathan
Bourne is the chairman. was given IS. ooC
to help in carrying on its investiSa'
tons.
On the night of the 9Th there will be
an open meeting held under the joint
auspices OF the National Grange. the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States and the American Automobile
Association. Senator Bourne has been
invited to preside over this meeting.
This will. perhaps. be the most inter
esting session of the convention. One OF
the features will be an illustrated ad-
dress by Thomas J. lyman, warden OF
the Colorado State penitentiary. Mr..
lyman has built more roads with con-
vict labor than any other man in the
United States And one OF the interest
ing facts about Warden lyman is that he
has inaugurated the honor system among
his prison laborers They work on the
public highway in citizens clothes and
without any guards over them.
The National Grange will have a
spokesman in the person Of c. S. Stet-
son, of Maine. Mr.. Stetson is the chair
man of the executive committee Of the
grange. and is one of the most impor-
tant figures in the country identified with
the road-building movement
The National Chamber of Commerce
will more than likely be represented by
its president. Harry A. Wheeler. who is
said to have already prepared a very
able address Oh the relation of the Cham
Der Of Commerce to good roads.
