TOMORROW MARKS CLOSING OF GREAT
 ANNIVERSARY SALE
Rush to Caesar Misch Stores Expected on Last Day of
 Bargains.

Saturday marks the closing of one of the most successful sales that the Caesar Misch stores have ever enjoy ed In spite of the greatly advanced prices in all lines of wearing apparel they have been able by making ar. engagements long ahead with the man ufacturers to furnish as good a quail ity at even lower prices than they have ever offered before. This natur- ally has had the effect of making the Caesar Misch stores the center of buying for the last two weeks. and now that the end of the sale is an nounced it is expected that everyone who possibly can will take advantage of the sale prices. s.s
 Cheerful Credit, which has been so popular, makes the sale a popular one as it does not exclude any class of persons but enables all wage earn CTS to buy the durable, fashionable kind of wearing apparel at very much lower prices.

A Famous War Horse.


 Bucepha!us, the charger that carried Alexander the Great through all his campaigns, received his name from the fact that. although white. he had on his forehead.
 A Thessalonian had offered the horse for sale to Philip of Macedon. but as none of the monarch's attendants could manage him the king ordered his own CT to take him away. Alexander. who was present, expressed his regret at losing so fine an animal and Philip re- paied that he would buy the horse if his son could ride him. The offer was accepted by Alexander. who succeeded in the attempt. Bucephalus would nev- CT suffer any other person to mount him.

Power In Plan. Cells.

Along with the formation of the sug- ar, and caused in part by it's accumu- lation, there develop within the mi mute cells of the blueberry plants enor. nous osmotic pressures. which enable the plant to push Its buds open. F. " COville writes in the National Geo graphic Magazine.
 These pressures are frequently as high as seven atmospheres or more than 100 pounds to the square inch-a pressure that would start a leak in a low pressure steam engine. The pres sure may become as high as thirty at mospheres or 450 pounds to the square inch-a force sufficient to blow the cyl finder head off of thousand horse power Corliss engine. The reason the plant does not explode is because it is broken up into many extremely smal and strongly built cells instead of hay ing one big interior cavity These mi mute chambers are often as thick walled proportionately as an artillery shell.
