rowed state funds from ex-state Treas
urer Joe BARLEY TO reimburse the state.
When asked about It this morning he
closed up as tight as an oyster and
changed the subject TO a discussion OF
other things.
He would not say that the article pub
lished In The Bee a few days ago re-
garding the matter was not true. II may
easily be seen that certain Individuals
over the state are getting rather nervous
over the publication OF the arncie.
II has been demonstrated that Attorney
General Reed, since his advent into the

deal Of delight in stirring up the animals.

NEWLY ARRIVED FALL GOODS ADD SPICE
TO JULIUS ORKIN'S ENLARGING SALE
Next Few Days Must Accomplish Two Things: Radiance
Of Present Summer Stocks and Quick Disposal of
Fall Attire That Arrived Too Early.

The modern merchant must use
his wits. and even then he must oc-
casionally submit to an actual sac
rifioe Of stock and profits. The tail
end OF an unusually unreasonable
season "a distracting enough, but,
when a merchant has an overload
thrust upon anoverload IL takes SUI
preme effort to get out from under.
The case Of julius Orkln. the pop
ular women's apparel specialist at
1910 Douglas 81. Is typical one.
Mr.. Orkin not only has the cares OF
a complete remodeling and enlarg-
ing on his hands, but is now con-
fronted with case after case OF ad-
vance Fall garments. The garments
were ordered In good faith before
Mr.. Orkin had decided to remodel.
and such being the case must be
accepted from the makers.
Omaha daily bee., 1915-08-12

There is only one course to pur-
sue and that is to hurl the contents
of each newly arrived case of Fall
goods bodily into the "Enlarging
Sale" now featured at the 0rkin es-
adjustment. IL matters not what
these new Fall wearables would
have brought few weeks later;
they must go now. They must go
because Julius Orkin has firmly de-
termined to open his newly re-
modelled establishment with an en-
tire new stock; there must not be
a thread Of the old stock remaining,
and, il he Keeps the newly arrived
Fall goods even a few weeks Mr..
Orkin would regard them old, for
he is stlckler for style.
That is the reason you may we'll
buy your Fall goods a little ahead
Julius Orkin offers you plenty OF
inducement.
