Why This Is
RnMmore's
Best Store...
gssBaltimore's Best
Store" Is not a title
which we arbitrarily
adopted. 1t was con-
ferred upon us years
ago by the shopping
public.
q From the beginning
of this store, nearly
twenty years ago, we
have striven to do
these things:
TO serve as well as
to sell;
To give the store a
homelike and hospi-
table atmosphere;
To m AXE courtesy,
Iihora1ifv and friend
Illness everyday viz
tues among our peo-
pie;
To sell dependable
merchandise at fair
prices, permitting no
Misrepresentation of
quality orvalue, either
In the public prints
or behind our count
erS;
Tomake good, cheer
fully and willingly,
any shortcomings in
any article we sell.
q 1t is these principles
that have been woven
into the success of
RaltimOre'S Best
Store. And we are
not even content with
the store as it is, but
are ever trying to
make it still better.
q Whenever you visit
Baltimore, make this
store your shopping
HI adquarters RS.
Whether you pur-
chase or not, you will
find the same cordial
WelcOm e.

It may pay well to play safe and
keep an eye on strangers these days,
but don't be suspicious of all human
nature. Many smart people who
are easy-going and sane under
normal conditions sometimes let
their gossip germ and imagination
get away with them when there is
so much war talk. The following
dispatch from the K. C. Star gives
an example: Washington-The ice
ran low at the big army bakery the
other day, the yeast spoiled and in
turn spoiled six thousand loaves of
bread. The bread tasted queer.
That's all there is to story that
German spy put deadly poison in
the army's food, which startled
many newspaper readers.

One of the harmful results arising
from the increased price of grain is
the tendency on the part of the
farmers to put every acre available
into grain or beans. The Potlatch
land has yielded enormously for
many years past but with contin-
uous cropping there will be limit
to the life of productiveness.
This year the fact has been very
noticeable that the top of the soil
runs together and bakes. The
heavy rains in the spring have been
blamed for this condition but a
little consideration of the matter
should fix the blame on the poor
farming conditions that have been
followed here for many years.
Even the wonderfully rich soil of
the Potlatch cannot continue to
yield big crops many more years
unless the soil is given chance to
recuperate.
On account of the high price of
feed, stock raisers are selling very
close and in many cases disposing
of their entire herd. For this
reason it is altogether likely that
future prices for stock will be above
normal and with this condition fac
ing this section, it would seem a
splendid opportunity to rest part
of your farm and still make it re-
turn good revenue, by seeding a
field to clover. In two or three
years it can be broken up and in
stead of yielding an average crop,
1t will return almost double the
yielG that would be possible in its
present condition. You can't make
a COW continue to give milk unless
she has feed and the same rule will
apply to your land-unless humus
is returned to the soil the product
iveness of the land will surely de-
crease.

The way the federal government
is handling the l. w. w. situation
seems to meet the approval Of the
public in general. There is nothing
like a U. S. uniform to bring law
breakers to their senses. When the
]. w. w. organization saw that
Uncle Sam was going to call their
bluff in regard to the big strike,
whick they had announced would
occur August 20, they had to
change their plans and call off the
strike.

The assertion that this is Eng

Russia's war is not heard abroad in
the land as frequently as it was a
few months ago, but it has not en-
tirely disappeared. People are now
getting wise to the fact that this is
our war and that the United
States holds the balance of power
to win and the only way to win is
to fight.

TWO MORE BIG
LIBERTY BOND
ISSUESPLANNED
Government to Ask People for
Additional Five Billion
Before July !

WASHINGTON, Nov. SH.--COngresS
will have to authorize early in the SEES
sion converting next Monday means OF
collecting from the American people
between now and July | about five
billion dollars. in addition TO the 49,
666 900, 900 from Liberty Bonds al
ready authorized but vet TO be issued
the billion dollars or less expected
from the war savings campaign and
about three billion dollars from war
taxes.
Most congressional leaders believe
the five billion dollars balance must
De provided principally by issue OF
bonds, and Secretary McAdoO mas
told members OF congress that ha
heartily fayors this method. II this
plan is finally adopted the country
probably will be called on to absorb
TWO more big Liberty Bond issues be-
tween Feb. and July l, aggregatinG
more than $500 100000
Another big finance question which
will receive the early attention OF
congress is the continuance OF loans
to the allies If the present rate OF
extending credits to the allies is con-
tinued, the seven billion dollars au-
thorized credits will be exhausted by
July / and congress will have to de-
eide whether to continue the loans
after that time. Six billion dollars
will be required for the fiscal year be-
ginning next July /, il the rate OF a
half-billion dollars a month Is kept up.
Wide difference of opinion exists in
congress over the question Of whether
the bulk of the five million dollars
should be raised by taxation or bond
issues, but those advocating the issue
of securities expect strong support
from the administration. They are
prepared to argue that the internal
revenue bureau already is overbur-
dened with the immense task of Great
ing machinery for collection Of the
So, 400, 100000 war revenue expected
before July /, and that great con-
fusion would result from the impo-
sition of new taxes before opportunity
has been given for the existing levies
to adjust themselves to the economic
situation.

GREAT TREE IN
CAPITOL GROUNDS
Will DELIGHTED
Community Christmas to Be
Notable for Impressive
Effect

Increasing interest in the plans TO-
the Community Christmas tree hich
is TO be the center OF attraction in No
nolulu on Christmas Eve, argues vel
for the success OF the venture, and
the Outdoor Circle may be congratu,
lated upon having anticipated tn
wishes OF the National Red Cross to
such an extent as to make the Christ
mas Eve celebration in this city me
Of the most notable Of any which will
take \ ace in the United States. 4
grand rehearsal is called for Frid ~
evening when as many OF the fifteen
hundred singers as can will come to,
gether to go over the carols and
practise with the band. Again on Sun
day afternoon at $50 o'clock final
rehearsal is to take place in the CAPT
tol grounds with both principals and
chorus SO that there may be no break )
or awkward pauses to mar the beauty
OF the festival Of song next Monday
night.
Again the plans for the tree OF
honor have been changed and the orig
inal hope Of the women who are man
aging the affair to have a growing
tree lighted, is to be realized. One Of
three tall symmetrical cypress trees
on the waikiki side OF the grounds
has been finally chosen and plan of
lighting not too expensive, has been
decided upon. Men were busy today
wiring the tree and the front of the
capitol building for the special
Christmas lights, and the grounds sur.
rounding the old lolani palace will be
blaze of glorious light on Christmas
Eve.
The announcement program will be
thrown upon a great screen so that
those attending the festival may
know which song is to be sung, whila
the words of each of the carols to be
sung by the crowd will also be thrown
upon this screen so that there will be
no excuse for silent spectators on the
great night.
The war has added its touch by re-
moving one OF the Wise Men, Donald
Blanding. the artist, who this week
enlisted in the army and makes it
necessary for his place in the tableaux
to be filled.
Added assistance. however, is to be
rendered by L. Young Correthers,
who arrived this week from England
after an absence of several months,
and his help will be much appreciated
by those in charge of the tableaux.
Motor cars will not be allowed in
the capitol grounds but they may be
parked outside. 1t is suggested that
Richards street eva of the judiciary
building will be a very good. parking
place for many. as a block down
this street one commands an excellent
view Of the Capitol facades beneath
which the taoieaux OF the nativity
are to be staged.
The Community Christmas tree i,
free to all and people of every ma.
tionality represented in Hawaii will
gather together in a great cosmopoli-
tan group to enjoy. this gift OF light
and song which is the Outdoor Cir
cle's Yuletide offering to the city OF
Honolulu.
