against the raise in prices at this time
Of the year.
We put in stock this week shipment
OF the famous United States Army shoe
for men. These shoes are made in
Boston and are made by the people who
furnish the shoes for the United States
army. These are the same lasts and
quality as the army buys.
People are still taking advantage of
the extremely low prices which they can
buy ladies winter suits and coats. The
prices we are making on these are away
below what they cost us wholesale, but
we must not carry any Of these over in
to another season.
On the north side OF the Dry Goods
room we have been having the floor base
OF the shelving enlarged. This will
make it more convenient for us to
utilize the shelf space under the counter
base.
A glass jar with a fibre cover is an ad-

We have a good showing of these on the

HOUSTON'S BUREAUS
MAY Be ABOLISHED
Reorganization Plan for Agri-
cultural Department Pro-
vides Four Divisions.

A sweeping reorganization of the De-
'partment of Agriculture, which would
substitute for large divisions for the
thirteen present bureaus. is provided
for in the agricultural appropriation
bin, now being completed in committee.
The plan OF reorganization has been
worked out by Congressman Lever,
chairman Of the committee, who has
been in frequent conference with Secre-
tary Houston.
Just how far the reorganization will
go in shifting the personnel OF the de-
partment is not known. The thirteen
bureau chiefs would be displaced by
four division heads. The readjustment
plan provides for the concentration Of
divisions into four groups, each under a
single officia-one group devoted to
regulatory or quarantine work, another
scientific and research work, a third
or extension work, and
the fourth would look after affairs OF
administration.
Another department considering a re-
plan is the Treasury, which
is working on a movement TO consoli-
date the revenue cutter and life-saving
services. The plan has the approval OF
Assistant Secretary Newton.

DEMOCRATS DIVIDED
ON TRUST PROBLEM
Republicans Also Are of Varied
0pinions-Progressives De-
sire Commission.

Informal discussion of the trust ques-
ton among the House and Senate
Democrats and such consideration as
has been given the subject in the House
Judiciary Committee have developed the
fact that there are the widest sort Of
differences OF opinion in the party as to
what ought to be done.
President Wilson will send his mes
sage to Congress on this subject with
the certainty that he Is sending 1t to
a body in which the ideas as TO what
should be done with respect to the
trusts and corporations are greatly
varied. Scarcely any two Republicans
agree among themselves as to what
should be done with the trusts. but
inasmuch as the Republican party
does not have the responsibility for
legislation now, these differences are not
accentuated.
The Progressive party platform calls
for regulation by a Government COM
In the Democratic elements in
Congress, some want TO 90 slow. others
to go fast, and there is far from being
any unanimitv of thought as to what
sort of laws should be enacted when
enactment does come.
More than this, the Democrats in Con-
gress and the Administration Is being
subjected to the utmost pressure to put
the soft pedal on all dealings with the
trust situation Recently at least one
powerful Democratic newspaper, which
has been supporting the Administration
through thick and thin. has come out
for soft pedal policy.

Mistakes, He Declares.

first he has granted to the public in
years. Mr.. Rockefeller is just about to
enter upon his seventy-fifth year. The
present year will also see his golden
wedding anniversary.
The Industrial future Of this coun-
try is question which only God in His
infinite wisdom can answer said Mr..
Rockefeller. THE nation is progress
ing. Traditional stupidities and faIlacy
of attempting to control progress are
trailing behind. The country is richer
today than ever. The greater part of
the wealth in lands and developments
has never been exp-nited. Men will
come and do things tina. this age will
marvel at. The industrial outlook for
the country cannot be otner than the
brightest.
.'The country is all right. There is
nothing wrong with our Government,
but something is radically wrong from
time to time with the men who admin
lister ii. Political revolutions are pre-
dicted continually; revolutions come and
been rampant since / was a boy.
Evolution and progress will make
this country the ideal republic in time,
braced and supported by a Government
of wise men, who will be strong enough
to turn a deaf ear to the rantings and
rawlings of reformers, well meaning, but
pathetically misguided.
