a [ the opening of the Fall season we
Il desire to say a few words to our
friends Of appreciation Of the businesswhich
they have SO generously favored me with in
the past, and to assure them that we have
been awake to their best interests during
the troubleous times which have disturbed
us. Regardless of the high prices which
are prevailing and which have prevailed in
all lines of dry goods, clothing, boots, shoes
and hats, we have been able to place our
orders for Fall and Winter goods at the low
est prices obtainable.
Having bought early we are prepared
to meet the demands of our trade with the
most complete stock we have ever carried
and our prices as they always are, will be
satisfactory and as low as the market
offers.
| want you to continue to be my Gus
toner and assure you that I will always
see that you get the best the market offers
at the lowest prices consistent with good
quality.
Yours to serve,

Sea for Moving Troops.

Pointing out that the Canal Zone.
Alaska and islands must be defended,
Col. Roosevelt called attention to the
transportation of Russian troops from
eastern Siberia to France. and of the
Australasian troops at the Dardanelles
as illustrations of the speed and safety
with which great masses of soldiers can
be moved great distances. The colonel
again urged the second navy of the
world and a regular army of 100000
men with a proper reserve.
But the navy and the regular army
are not enough" he continued. Il
speak for universal service based on
universal training. Universal service
only service and training a democracy
should accept. 1t is the plain people.
1t is the farmers. the workngmen. the

We have heard good deal of talk
about the officer class that we are get

not nave universal military service
these camps offer the only chance for
young men to prepare so as to serve
the country. The man who goes to
