entice laborers (ball players) from
their Jobs.

al rOcL n17latiO5l to
Women and Men
lof Our City e Ad-
Joining Counties

We wish to say to all our GUS
toners and those who will likely
become our customers, that we
positively do not intend to take
advantage of the present war
scare and mark higher prices on
any article we now have in our
store or have bought for this
seasons business:
In few cases is there any
necessity for paying an advance
for goods we are now buying or
have bought. We own today
| about as large stock as ever,
bought at the old prices, and we
propose to sell this stock the
same as always. In no case will
/ we charge any war tax or ask
any advance on the known sta
pie and branded articles that we
have on hand. These will all be
sold by us at the same prices as
heretofore.
THIS POLICY will be car
ried out as long as our present
stock lasts, and we think we
have stock that will carry US
through the year, especially on
the talked about war articles.
We know we will be strongly
criticised for taking this stand,
B but we mean it and know it to be
fact that the majority of adj
vances asked at the present are
unnecessary and are unjustifia-
BILE. The widespread talk regard
ing advance in prices of staple
commodities on account of the
s European war has been grossly
exaggerated to that persons or
concerns personal gain.
Every dollars worth Gully

"K I could take only one paper"
said the late Mr.. Justice Brewer Of

Youths Companion-a little of every

Companion is a family paper in the

1t unites young and old through their
common enjoyment Of delightful fic-

are its contents, that it would easily
supply a family with entertaining fic-

wholesome fun, if no other periodical
entered the house.

farmers throw themselves in ponds.
What Europe needs the more and
more is bread and meat, the truth to
tell, and on this rich and peaceful
ahore, we have those articles to sell.
The longer Armageddon lasts, the
more alluring is our chance, especial
| ly to advance. The only ammunition
known to serve against that common
foe is such as all of US have grown
and learned to cradle and to hoe. In
war nobody raises wheat, or gives a
passing thought to hogs; the wreck
of farming is complete and everything
goes to the dogs. The hired man
goes off to fight and joins his colors
in the ranks, the forager comes down
at night and loots the place with lit
tie thanks, the gunners shoot the wind
mill up, the trim haysacks are set
afire, the infantry takes down the
fence and makes distractions of the
wire, the house and barns are filled
with men, the smokehouse is the
Captains cot, and when the camp is
moved again the farmers opulence is
not.
At any rate, we shall give thanks
For being neutral over here,
Though doing so shall thin the ranks
OF guileless turkeydom, we fear,
Alas! for custom and for strife,
Whenever we address the sky
To show our gratitude for life,
The luckless turkey has to die.
Congress having adjourned the fear
of any further reform for the time
being will induce everybody to come
out of hiding, and times will be lit
tie livelier than they have been. We
shall meanwhile sell Europe every
thing we can. She can have anything
over here except our theory of gov
|ernment. We must hang on to that.

|ers and believe the English should
make an exception of Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's oil boats. Europe is much too
busy fighting in the daytime to pay
any attention to what we are saying
about the war, and without some of
Johns oil, it is not easy to see how
she is going to read it at night. The
British are away off on that, as the
Scorpio people. who are great debat-
|ers. hope to make them admit. The
last eight days of the month will be
under the influence of Sagittarius the
Archer. Sagittarians are the greatest
neutrals we have. They can discuss
the war continually without once be-
traying where their sympathies are.
They are the principal support of the
Wilson idea, and if we keep out of
the war to the end we shall owe it to
the fact and diplomacy Of these re-
markable people. Thanksgiving will
be observed on the twenty sixth.
Then bleak December shall return
To chill the very soul,
And we shall all begin to burn
That pile Of winter coal.
