looked mighty bilious" to one who
hoped for fair weather and a good

suit was an attendance of record pro-
portions.
The gate admission was above 5000,
with 5000 adult tickets sold and 900
chlldren's tickets. This did not in
clude season tickets. 5000 was taken
IN at the amphitheater and there were
1000 automobiles parked in or near
the grounds aside from the many
teams.

doors TO rearrange their entire
stock for a money-raising sale that

o'clock.
Owing to the steady increase in
prices OF merchandise for the past
year. the Palace Clothing Company
overplayed their hand and greatly
on erstocked their establishment.
The result being too much merch-
andise and not enough money. In
sorder TO save their name and bust
1ess they decided 10 turn the entire
sralace stock into ready cash.
Everything in this enormous
stock will be placed in numbered
lots and sold wholesale or retail, at
about 40 cents on the dollar.
