Grand Opening at o. w. Adams Store

Autumn greetings from the D. w.
Adams Co. store! It's a gay greeting,
too. that awaits every visitor to this
mart of good styles. The entire floor
space and the big show windows are
decked in autumnal garb. Every
available space shows the handiwork
of designer and trimmer.
Suits claim major attention. styles
are diverse with the dominating basque
and redingote effects. The desired
length of line with the figure clinging
fullness and flares, models of the great
designers, are faithfully reproduced in
almost infinite variety. There is
elaboration enough in every model
to refute any idea of plainness. Cab
ardines, serges, poplins, broadcloth
and velVets rule in fabrics.
In the coat room is a host of smart
models Most of them are cut in
seven eighths lengths with flare at
the bottom Favored materials are
ziebelines, wool, velours, chinchillas
and warmth suggesting Scotch and
English mixtures.
Cosetry is not to be neglected in
the seasons displays. The correct
foundation for the modish gowns are
here shown in a variety of models
designed to meet individual needs.
Every requisite of modern dress, 1t
would seem, has been accurately
determined in this department.
The seasons silks are excellent in
weave, sure in color and patterns at
tractive. And silks will be worn this
season more than ever before. Women
will thrill with satisfaction when they
see these beautiful fabrics.
An impressive collection of millinery
awaits the visitor on the second floor.
That hats of all sizes and shapes will
be worn Is apparent from this authent-
lie gathering Black velvet and dark,
rich colors are prominent in the dis
plays.
What is correct in Fall dresses may
best be judged by an examination of
the many handsome models. Briefly,
though, shoulders are narrow, sleeves
close fitting, bodice tight buttoned,
the waistline heightened and skirt
wide and faring.
Dress goods offer many innovations
in fabric and color schemes. All the
| small articles of dress to some extent
have undergone change and each
season brings out fresh stocks and
! IDEAS Take a peek at everything.
Come prepared to enjoy yourself with
in the doors Of the house of Adams.
Full stocks, attentive clerks and fair
prices await every conner.

Those who may have been under
the impression that canary birds i'm.
ported into this country come from
the Canary islands will suffer a severe
disillusionment at this time, especial
ly if the family believes that canary
bird is needed, and someone proceeds
to buy" a canary. The fact is, that
In times of peace canary birds come
from the Hartz mountains in Germany
where they are bred by the peasants
in garrets and spare rooms OF their
cottages. One New York firm alone
imports 100000 canaries annually.
At present no canaries can be
bought in the bird stores because OF
the blockade of German ports. Ordi
narily these birds sell for fifteen tc
thirty dollars dozen. The individual
bird is sold on his merits, as indicste ted
by his looks and his voice. The fe
male canary is a poor singer and sells
for half the price of the male. The
birds sing best between the ages OF
a half-year and six years. Frequently
they live to be twelve years old.
The bird dealers also suffer from
lack Of cages for other birds The
canary is shipped in individual wood
en- cages made in Germany and is
sent in lots Of one to FIVE hundred
These birds have to be fed daily on
canary seed and hard boiled eggs as
well as given fresh water A skilled

Artillery Company Chooses officers.
The Honorable Artillery company,
whose ranks are now full, is the only
military body over which parliament
has no control. It is governed under
numerous royal warrants and the
crown appoints its chief. At one time
the company claimed absolutely the
right Of electing their own captain
general; the corporation endeavored
to reduce this right to the privilege of
presenting three candidates to the
lord mayor and aldermen, and from
these the final choice should be made.
The privy council was called in to de-
eide the question, and compromise
resulted To the company was given
the right of choosing their officers, to
the corporation the choice of presi-
dent, while to the crown was reserved
the right OF nominating the captain
general. London Chronicle.
