Chairman Baur of the Dollar day

league has eason to be proud of his
success. There is no question but
hat this was the biggest bargain
day the local merchants have ever
staged. And in the face of high
prices every cut meant considerable
both to buyer and seller. The chair
man expressed himself pleased with
the response of the shoppers to the
bargains offered by the local mer-
chants.
Buyers came from everywhere. The
Ottumwa branch OF the Rock Island
brought a big crowd; the North road
likewise, and people came from
across the river and from every near
by point. The automobiles from near
here were conspicuous by their num-
bers. The clouds which blew up in
the sky early this morning were
threatening out at Pennington and
Bonaparte. people from that vicinity
said. and this fact curtai1ed some
what the crowds from those places.
A majority of these shoppers, how
ever, took the train to Keokuk, rather
than risk a trip by auto.
The entrance of the grocers into
the bargain field proved a most at
tractive feature for the local buyers,
especially. These stores were popu-
lar early this morning. In fact there
were but few stores in town which
were not popular, and in which dol
lars did not, stretch out like rubber.
