The time for your selection
of Furs is now at hand. If
you need Furs, you want them
the first of the season. Then
you get the first and best
wear from them and protect
yourself at the time of the
season when Furs are of the
most value to you. Then,
Furs are not like cloths, as
hardly two Furs are the same,
and we try and give each Gus
toner the best Fur in the as
sortment. So, the last of the
season, the Furs that are left
are the poorest in the line.
We have an exceptionally
large line to select from in
qualities and values that you
surely will appreciate. The
real value is in them, and ev-
cry Fur we guarantee as in
former seasons.

Ladies' Tailored Suits

The Tailored Suits are now
in good demand. The weight
of the materials and the length
of the Coats appeal to the lady
of fashion as the proper gar
ment for the season. For a
dressy garment, there is
nothing that can take the
place of the Tailored Suit, and
this season they are more
suitable for warmth and serv-
ice than for some time.
You will find some unusual
ly snappy Suit models in the
Printz-Beidermann and Wool
tex lines. Then, these Suits
are made from materials that
are the best. Every garment
has special attention, and you
will find they will keep their
shape and look well after a

CONSERVE PUNCHERS
 FOR BEEF SUPPLY

Spurred to action by the fact that large number of their cowpunchers have been drafted for military ser vice, and motivated entirely by g. de- sire to protect the military's beef supply, a committee of cowmen from the Arizona Stock Growers associa- ton appeared before the district board in Phoenix Monday afternoon to offer their services in determining which cowpuncher should go to war and which should stay on the ranges.
 The committee represented practi- cally every range district in the state, being composed of the following mem- bers: L. L. Harmon, Phoenix; M. A. Perkins, Puntenney; M. D. Hazeltine, Prescott; Judge Walter Shute, Globe; J. w. Stewart, Simmons. All are men actively engaged in the cattle business in Arizona. No one who saw the men or who heard them standing before the board earnestly stating their case could doubt for a minute the. unselfishness of the mission on which they had come.
 "We represent no individual cow puncher, nor do we make our plea in the interest of any particular fi- nancial interest in the cattle busi- ness," said Mir. Hazeltine, the tall, bearded spokesman from Prescott. eve are greatly concerned over the number of our cowpunchers who have been drafted into the service, and we come to ask this board to help us de- termine a method of saving some of these compunchers whose services on the cattle ranges are so vital to the life of the cattle industry. Gentle men, it is fact that if all of the , cowpunchers who have been summon ed for examination are taken into the service, it will be severe blow to the cattle business on the ranges.
