"I'Ue Heard of
Bargain Base
n,ents But Never
of a
Barsk55TfesFloor'

THAT'S TRUE-and that is
one of the biggest points in favor
of this 9th Bargain Floor. We
could have housed this Store a
observation-disclosures Just as much
room under the Broadway Floor
as there Is in any floor above-we
could have exCavated and put in
a Bargain Basement Just like or
binary Stores. But IL has always
been u policy of the Rhodes Store
to avoid basements-we have a
basement nOw-for our engine
roOm-that's what Easements are
for. But as place to display
merchandising invite customers
to patronlze-not for the Rhodes
Store-we'lI leave that for ordi-
nary Stores.
That's why when we planned
this Bargain Store we hit upon
the idea of putting it upon the 9th
Floor, where abundant natural
daylight and fresh pure air would
make your shopping pleasurable
as well as profitable. And we
are having inquiries from all over
the United States as to how the
venture is succeeding.
And the best commentary upon
the success that is attending this
new departure is found In the fact
that six months after we opened
it, we had to rearrange it and re-
double its sales space in order to
accommodate its fast increasing
patronage.

The Republican Nominee Says

Toward a Lasting Peace

Utica. y. Y, Oct. PA vote for

publican Nominee Hughes declared to
an audience OF 1000 In laundering
theater this afternoon. He again at
tackled Secretary OF War Baker.
1T is said that criticism OF the ad-
mlnistration In this matter indicates
a desire for war" he said. 1t Is said
that the alternative OF the policy OF
the administration Is the policy OF
war: Il is said that vote for me is
q vote for war, What a preposterous
suggestion!
"A vote for me is vote for lasting
peace. because II Is a vote for main
tanning the honor OF the country. for
maintaining both self-respect and
esteem OF all nations OF the earth.
1T Is fallacy to suppose we can
be kept out OF war unless we have the
respect OF all other nations. Unless
We impress them with the firmness
OF our national character. We shall
not be In position TO secure the
favorable peace we desire"
Hughes was In unusually high
spirits after last nights meeting In
Boston, where his creed as q candi-
date was so rousingly received. His
speech last night was direct answer
to the democratic cry, What would
you do as PRESIDENT"
Hughes promises. summed up,
were:
Protection OF the ablest cabinet
the country can AFFORD"
Firm and courteous insistence on
the rights OF our citizens" as the
basis of his foreign policy.
Enactment OF proper protective
tariff"
Fair governmental action to all, ="
and particularly with regard to capi-
tai and labor,
Strict scrutiny OF business organ
iaations---but "all business to be
treated fairly and justly"
A flag that protects the American

over the Baker statement before 1t

NO NEED FOR us. TO
WORRY OVER JAPS

St. Louis, Oct. 27.-There is not

trouble between Japan and the United
States worth going to war over,
Judge Ebert E. Gary, chairman of
the board OF directors Of the U. s.
Steel corporation. who has Just re-
turned from tour OF the orient.
declared today at the semi-annual
meeting Of the American Iron & Steel
institute.
Whenever either government has
decided to provide an additional
warship. some one in the other coun-
try has been prompt in charging that
this meant preparation for war be-
tween the two countries" he said.
II told the Japanese the American
people did not want, and would stub
bornly oppose war with Japan. except
In self-defense. The controlling men
OF Japan, judging from the state
ments made to me, are anxious for
continued peace with the United
States. The Japanese speak Of the
United States as model government,
whose friendly interest they court.
They realize the geographical loca-
ton OF the two countries should make
them practically allies, though acting
Independently"
Concerning Japan's intentions to-
ward China. Gary said;
"T am confident the Japanese would
like China for q permanent. friendly,
profitable and satisfied customer, and
with no political or selfish objects.
mo one can certainly foretell
whether there will be a continuance
OF large business for year or for
several years. Obviously. the wise
man will husband his resources, keer
within safe limits and avoid over
extension.
"At the end OF the war, foreign
countries now buying our products
because compelled. will, in large
measure, withdraw their patronage
Most of the foreign countries VIII os

warships since the great battle of

BY Banta

Do you make Thanksgiving resolu-
tions the same as you do on New
Years? On this day of Thanksgiving
for the benefits you have received
permit me to suggest that you think
one thought of certain crowd of
kleine, tousel-headed urchins who
amt got nothin' and hardly that.
Don't rush the thought. Let it linger
long enough for you to register the
resolution that not another week
shall pass before you slide into line
with the Goodfellows who are hold
ing out on their own folks in order to
come clean with few jits for poor
folks Christmas. If you're timid
about having your name in print
jest think what trial them already
in line has had to go thru
with. Why there aren't name
in the list but what objects to pub
licity from the littlest kid to the big
gest bank; haven't they said as how
they hate to see their names in the
paper? Now, be brave and sacrifice
your personal disinclination to undue
publicity and come across with the
price Of a rattle or a tin horn or
doll or some other such necessary
rubbish. Don't you know your dime
will buy bundle of joy for some
teensy, hardluck jungling that wont
have no Santa unless you're it?
You won't be lonesome in the list
of Goodfellows. You want to be a.
mong those present and you GER
tainly belong. Don't wait so long to
do something that you have already
made up your mind to do. Its some
time to Christmas, but you might get
sick, or die or leave or some other
calamity overtake you and you with
out have done nothin' for the kids.
The mananna habit is alright when
applied to work, but when you're got
something to give away, do it quick,
then you can forget it sooner.
Also bear in the front of your
