THE CALL.

My country, do you hear the call?
It's solemn message thrills the air.
1t sounds above the desperate fight.
And sternly bids you do your share,
With freedoms very life at stake.
With law and order overthrown,
My listless land. awake! awake,
The peril has become your own.
From the ripe wisdom of the past
Today seems ringing from the sky
" 'Tis mans perdition to be safe
When for the truth he ought to
diel"
MY country. do you hear the call?
The hour has struck; the sands are
run;
Your chance to take the patriots
stand
May vanish by tomorrows sun
II you refuse to guard the rights
I'oI which our fathers fought and
died,
To watch and trim the beacon lights
You shall be stricken in your
pride!
Haul down the flag, no more to be
Shelter and emblem of the free.
Foe bark; again that warning cry
"'Tis mans perdition to be safe
When for the truth he ought 10
die!'

son, in Boston Herald.

LOCAL CLOTHING TRADE
SHOWS EFFECT OF WAR
Retailers Wary About Buying
Prices Considerably
Increased.

Have you noticed the clothing store
advertisements recently?
II so you have discovered that most
Of them are directed at the attention
of youths and men along toward mid
die age.
Net that the patronage OF those
within the select circle government
terin) Is not desired. but the supposi-
tion is that Uncle sun Will supply suits
for many OF them.
Not as a result OF this advertising
policy, but as the result of the same
expectation on the part OF the men be-
tween y ard 81 years OF age, sales
nave fallen OF, as compared with last
year However. Lee Leverlns, cloth
Ter in the Tulsa hotel building, is au-
thority for the statement that business
is fully as GOOD as las year. (.
Discourage Large Orders.
Tho trade now shows several unusual
features. according to Mr.. Levering.
II is rare indeed that manufacturers
discourage large orders. But this was
done recently by representative OF
a large mems furnishing house. Retail
clothiers are advised to buy for spring
sales just what they are sure they can
sell.
ANY merchant who overbuys is a
speculator," is the word sent out by
this house. 1--WE want no spectators
on our books"
1t is the feeling in the trade that a
declaration OF peace, or even truce,
would send prices dC-n.
Tie man who goes now to buy his
fall and winter outfit finds himself
against an increase OF 10 to 20 per
cent. Textiles, Mr.. LeverinS says, have
not advanced in the same proportion
as shoes, but there is a tremendous in
crease in such woolen goods as under
wear, sweater coats, caps and in hos
iery.
A suit which last year cost s35 this
year sells at $3.50 TO SAC. The same
increase is found in overcoats. Hats
also have advanced.
War Orders First.
The hand of the government is seer
in the available supply of sweaters.
No assurance is given the retailer by
the manufacturer that his orders will
be filled at any stated time. The war
orders are being filled first.
81 notice a remarkable change on
the part of the buying public in re-
gard to orders for clothing" said Mr.
LeNering. Customers display sur
prising tolerance at delays In getting
orders filled. Railroad men inform me
| that the same Is true of the travelling
public. 1t is apparent that all have
determined to stand any inconven-
renee when that Inconvenience means
increased efficiency in organizing and
supplying the army"

PARDONABLE NONSENSE

Some people think II extremely sill
ly to offer rewards, as has been pro-
posed. for the man or men who VIII

little childish and savors much OF pet
ty prejudice and small caliber patriot
ism. 1t Is almost 'reductio ad ad-
surdam." The American people are

principle and to berpetuate the rule
Of the people and put an end to the
tyranny OF the few With such hgh
objects In view. II does not look well
tc put an emphasis upon the "straf-
ing" OF an Individual, even IL that
Individual be the present head and
representative of all that we consider
economically and politically iniqui-
tous. IL may be urged that such n
sentiment Is perfectly natural, that
many will be nerved to greater en-
doavors in behalf Of making tho
world safe for democracy" II they
have n more tangible object of attacK
upon which to vent their zeal than the
abstract idea OF Prussianism. The
world hates the kaiser. and the idea of
getting the kaiser impersonates to
