We feel that operation By the govern

II do not believe sufficient capital
can be secured without government
aid. and, while the word subsidy is
repugnant to some. you will find that
there is not a very decided objection
TO subsidy and | believe that before

Mr. Wexlcr commended the treaty
proposed by Secretary Bryan between
the United States and Nicaragua, and
declared its approval would result in
stabilizing conditions in the southern

the delegates that the State Depart

treaty. and that he was anxious that
Central American nations shall under

intend TO antaEonize the interests OF

pact. He said the State Department,

fears Of this sort. had made it plain
that similar treaties conserving their
rights would be negotiated with them.

This is not said in spirit of boast

more forcibly emphasized as a fact
if you talk to the merchants. In this
instance our word does not have to go.
To be frank with you. We are taking
the word of the merchants them
selves and they are the men and
women who know.
From early in the morning, when

who did not go in with Dollar day bar
gains. It was the best sales day the
merchants have experienced since the
Christmas holidays.
One of the leading drug stores show
ed a record of over five hundred indi-
vidual sales for the day. Another one
of the big stores did $500 in cash sales
over the total amount OF business
done on an average Saturday.
One grocery store and meat market

automobiles and carriages from one
end to the other and the streets were
packed with a jolly and happy buying

Everyone seemed satisfied with the
bargains they got. II is compliment
to the merchants to say that nothing
which they advertised was misrepres-
ented. This fact is definitely proved
by the further fact that in no store
was there a disappointed customer
who purchased Dollar Day item.
They found absolutely as advertised
and they got what they expected for
the money. and in many cases more
than they expected.
