 We have just finished stock talk ing, and find that we are heavily overstocked so are making enorm- ous reductions in Hardware-as much as 50@o in certain lines. Not withstanding immense advances out side, especially in Hardware and Metal Goods, we are still selling on the basis of goods purchased the past two or three years.
 We will sell for cash only at these prices, and for a limited time, until we bring our stock down to the re. quirements of the Camp.
 If you have an order to be filled, let us figure on it; we can save you money. We have proved 1t co others, we can prove it to you.

, The Carnival subscription com
 mittee has divided the city into
 zones and has appointed sub con-
 mittees to look after each particular
 zone. In this method of raising
 funds, it is expected to eliminate all expenses, and to get just as much
 money as might otherwise be raised,
 so that it would be all clear.
 Fortunately for all concerned the cable is again working in good shape, although whether it was the Burnside or the elements which re- paired it, it is impossible to say. As big excess of work starts up about this time. the fact that the cable is in working order becomes a great convenience to all con- cerned.

 Today is the shortest day of the year, for at 4:59 D. m. the sun reaches it's farthest point south of the equator, 23 degrees 27 minutes south, and from that time the days will commence to gain in length.
 Very little difference can be mo- ticed for some time, and in 10 days or by Jan. 1, the gain is only IT minutes. Today the sun rises at 9:59:34 and sets at 2:OO:23, mak- ing the interval from sunrise to sun set hours 49 seconds. At noon the sun is only deg. 20 min. above the horizon and it's direction at time of rising nearly s. s. E. and at time of setting s. s. w.
 The apparent movement of the sun from north to south and vice versa during the year is due to the fact that the axis of the earth is not perpendicular to the plane of the orbit, but is inclined at an angle of C6 1-2 degrees. Since the earths rotation is always parallel to itself, the poles of, the earth lean alternate ly towards and away from the sun. and at the Winter Solstice the north pole is leaning away to the great est extent. This inclination is the cause of the changing seasons, since the amount and intensity of the sum- light is determined as much by the changing height of the sun as by the duration of daylight.
 From the remotest ages it was customary for the northern peoples of Europe to celebrate the advent of the Winter Solstice. Our primitive forefathers deifed the sun and be- lieved that it was born at midwinter, attained it's full growth and strength at the summer solstice, and declined into old age during the fall to be reborn at the winter solstice, and this was the occasion of the great est festival of the year. In the Fifth century the church adopted the old festival as the birthday of Christ, thus changing the old heather festi- vals such as the Roman Saturnalia, the Scandinavian Yule, etc, into a church celebration.

BACK IN HISTORY
COUNCIL BLUFFS WOMAN FINDS
SHE Is RELATED TO
MRS. WILSON,.

Council Bluffs, Sept S.-Mrs. Ida B
Short, 231 Benton street, has recently
come into possession of papers and
documents by means of which she is
able to trace her ancestry back through

Indian chieftain, to Ann Boleyn, wife of
King Henry VIII Of England. On
emigrating to America the name OF
Boleyn was changed to Bowling. One

the descent is traced directly down to
Isaac Bowling, father of Mrs. Short,
who lives at Lincoln, Neb. In tracing
her ancestry Mrs. Short finds that her
grandfather, Jarrett Wesley Bowling,
was brother to the grandfather of
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson She and Mrs.
Wilson are therefore second cousins.
Mrs. Short has two sons, Walter and
Stuart. She Is a widow and has made
her home here for about twenty years.
Recently she has been engaged in the
real estate business, meeting with
much success. Her father is civil
war veteran and had six brothers, two
Of whom fought by his side in the
union army and four on the confed-
crate side. During an engagement it
happened that two Of the brothers in
the opposing armies came face to face
with each other, threw down their
arms and clasped hands with true
brotherly affection The brothers in
the confederate army later changed
their allegiance and entered the war
on the side Of the union.

| In addition to the total there were
authorizations for expenditures in flu.
ture years including naval, good roads,
tariff commission and other expendi-
lures to bring the total to approx
mately two billion dollars but these
amounts do not properly apply to the
appropriations for the fiscal year.
In addition congress enacted an I'M
usually large amount of miscellaneous
, legislation, including reorganization of
the patent office: provision for trial of
space system in place Of weight sys-
tenn for payment for railroad mail SER
vice and leaving to the Interstate COM
merce commission determination of

partment Of the interior: establishing
warehouse regulations for cotton and
grains and providing a new grain
grading law: extension for a year of
the government war risk insurance

Proposed legislation which failed of
enactment and has gone over until
next winter includes the immigration

eign relations committee with an
amendment reducing from $25,000,000
to $15.000,000 the proposed amount to
be paid for the partition of Panama.
The treaty, however, was never taken
up in the senate because of unrelent-

many senators and it remains on the
calendar. A treaty with Denmark for
the purchase Of the Danish West In
dies for 25,000,000 was ratified by the
senate. A treaty with Great Britain

IOWA EGGS ENJOY
GOOD REPUTATION

Des Monies, Sept. 7. More than
100000 Iowa eggs have been conf1scat.
ed and destroyed by the state dairy
and food commission during the past
year, according to an announcement to.
day by w. B. Barney, state dairy and
food commissioner. Because of pre-.
cautions taken, Mr.. Barney said, Chi
cago dealers will pay from $1.25 to 50
more per case for Iowa eggs than any
other brand. Recent efforts of dealers
in other states to ship eggs to Iowa
and then rebill them to Chicago have
been stopped by interstate commerce
authorities, the commissioner said.
