Our Annual January Linen Sale IL In
Progress and Furnishes Much
Better Values Than Year Ago.

To say it furnishes better values
than a year ago means better values
than ever before, because we insist upon
an improvement with each recurrence
of the sale.
The above is meant, as you will
understand, in the course of ordinary
events. ---.
Yet these prices, or prices as low as
these, are not likely to be repeated
again in many years, owing to the con-
ditions in Europe which have, SO far as
we are able to learn, practically caused
ia cessation of the linen industry.
We urge that all linen requirements be
anticipated and necessary supplies
secured at the low prices.

Freeport dominates Strong Man
for Mayor

MI Harry Stahl, at the recent primaries, was
nominated for mayor of Freeport the citizens
ticket without opposition his only opponent having
Withdrawn in his favor. He received a larger vote
than the combined of the two candidates on the
other tickets, which would seem to spell victory at
the coming election.
Mr.. Stahl while still young, is among the leading
business men of Freeport, AS president of Of its
prosperous manufacturing concerns, he has given evil
dence Of marked executive ability. Mr.. Stah1 is di-
rector in the local Chamber of Commerce and in the
Y. M. c. A, and in other ways has shown himself to
be deeply interested in the upbuildng of his city.
Elected alderman on the citizens ticket twice
IN succession, he has approved himself faithful pub
lice servant, entirely trustworthy and capable. In
council, Mr.: Stah's voice was always heard in behalf
of honesty and efficiency.
According to reliable information the forces back
ing Mr. Stah belong to no single party and to sim
gle interest They want who is broad enough
to represent all Freeport and not merely some fac
tonal element, and they believe that Mr. Stahl is
the man
In an interview Mr. Stahl states: IF | am elect
ed mayor expect to represent all the people of Free
port and it shall be my aim to give the people clean
and efficient administration of the citys affairs |
shall see that the laws enforced and that the public
money is economically and wisely spent. And it shall
be my especial concern to inaugurate constructive
the city and lead to newer and greater Freeport."

Prediction Promises Kept

Sheriff Wheeler, of Sangamon County, Enforces Law

candidate for sheriff, had but statement to make
III regard to future conduct should he be elected That

sheriff in fact as we'll in name"
The citizens of Sangamon county we're startled
recently when they read in the papers that large
number OF bootleggers had been arrested In all
th1rty-rne bench warrants issued for violatOrs
OF the law. In each instance the evidence had been
obtained by Sheriff Wheeler's own Deputies Of the
thlrty-tour arrested twelve pleaded guilty and were
fined by the county court; eighteen are out on bond
and but four cases dismissed.
Asked at his office today what would be his flu
ture program, the sheriff replied: There will be no
blind tigers operated in Sangamon county while |
am sheriff. | have taken oath to uphold the con-
stitutlon and laws there is alternative for me but
to enforce the law. Regardless of sentiment shall
discharge the duties of my office as am directed to
do by the laws OF Illinois, made direct promises
before election regarding the closing of the blind
tigers; | have made promises regarding other law
violations, except the general statement that I shall
do all IN my power to that the law is enforced
am not prompted by animosity or sentiment I simply
shall endeavor to enforce the law"

be proud ola fearless and upright official

Ancient caves in different parts OF

bones of former inhabitants, whether
prehistoric or of later times. some
times containing fine fashioned flint
implements.
The natives, as a rule, fear to go
into these places. DO not enter. Sc

Saxon lack of superstition you deter
mine to explore them; some evil be-
falls those who NEEDLE with the re-

And if they are prevailed upon to
assist they cross themselves devoutly
before descending or entering. Weird
tales they unfold afterward of men
who have gone into such places and
found their exit barred by some evil
spirit, they themselves having beer
encountered dead and cold upon the
cavern floor when discovered by theil
relatives, who had searched for the
missing one!

COTTON BEING BLOWN AWAY
Use Of Staple In Modern Warfare 10
Something Enormous-Experts
Give Interesting Figures.

Cotton is being blown up now at a
faster rate than at any previous time
In the histor. of the world. The use
of guncotton in up-to-date warfare ID
enormous, being used largely in the
high explosives; for instance, the Eng
lish cordite. is 81 per cent guncot-
ten.
United States ordnance experts es-
innate that every time one of the
big 15-inch guns of Uncle Sans navy
goes of there is one less bale of cot
ton, or 500 pounds. One discharge OF
the 12-inch gun consumes 300 pounds
of cotton.
Those same experts figure that 1t
re quires one pound Of cotton to make
one pound of guncotton, the loss In
weight beins accounted for In the
treating of cotton in a mixture OF
strong nitric and sulphuric acid. One
of the estimates that 100000 men
on the firing line use up 10000 bales
of cotton in a week in fairly active
fighting, although guesses on that
score are necessarily vague.
Powder companies have been very
large buyers of cotton.-Wall Street
