Every Day A Sales Day

We are often asked the ques-
ton why we do not have "sales
days. The answer is this: We
have placed such a smah margin
Of profit on our entire line that
we are not justified in offering any
further reduction in prices.
Truly, every day is "sales day"
with US SO far as reduced prices
are concerned.
The question we ask is: will
you profit by these reduced prices?
We have many little articles
that are every day necessities and
we want you to know that we ap-
preciate your trade.

A tunic clothed crowd of young
bloods, fresh from the baths,
turned into Pompeii's mercantile
street.
At the far end a torch flared
on the side of a wall.
"See, Marcus, a firew shouted
one and broke into a run.
"By the gods, painted a fol-
lower, "the wall of Petronius, the
merchant, is burning"
Twenty men stood, spell-bound,
in front of the wall. There were
togas among them, and rags.
The torch, fastened to the wall,
threw its brilliance over a sent
ence in gaudy blue and yellow
print as follows:
RETRONIUS HAS RECEIVED
AN ASSORTMENT OF
PURPLE CLOTH FOR TUNES
WHICH HE WILL SELL
TOMORROW AT HIGH NOON.
The crowd has gone and the
sign has done it's work.
Petronius has given modern
merchants the biggest and most
effective means of merchandising
that the world has ever known.
His idea has developed into the
Electric Sign. His principle APP
plies equally well to turnips and
tunics.
The merchants on Miner street
owe it to themselves to make the
street a "White Way.
The Colorado Power company
will gladly render all possible
assistance in this direction, with
out obligation on the part of the
merchants interested.

INDIANAPOLIS LEADING.
Makes Big Gain in A. A. Race by
Winning Double.Header.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, July BY
the Indians winning a double header at
Toledo yesterday from Roger Bresna-
hans tottering Mud Hens they increas-
full games in the scramble for the
American Association championship.
st. Louis split a twin bill with Kansas
City, which further helped Jack Hend-
rick's cause along.
Every club staged bargain matinees
yesterday. for that seems to be the only
way in which paying crowds can be
attracted to the ball parks these days.
All the Sunday games draw well. but
the attendance on the other days is
poor. due to the war. and the general
decline in minor league base ball. AL
though the spring was totally unit for
base ball and many days were lost
through inclement weather, the clubs
as a whole. are doing better than was
expected. and II the Ave clubs now
in the race for the pennant can keep
fairly well punched, the season will not
be such a financial failure as was first
thought, although not many will finish
on the right side of the ledger.
Indianapolis has been playing con-
sistent ball for the last month, and, now
that cy Falkenberg is back. the local
fans look for the Indians to hold their
position to the finish, although st. Paul
and Kansas City are too close for COM
fort just now. Louisville and Column
bus have been erratic of late. while
Bresnahan's Toledo club has gone COM
pletely to smash, their double licking
yesterday. with Minneapolis cleanup
of Milwaukee. dropping Toledo to
seventh place. Joe Tinker's team has
drawn good crowds in Columbus. and
il the former Cub can get his men on
fighting basis with the Indianapolis
team he will reap a tidy profit on the
year. for Columbus has been a tall
ender for so long that the fans go
wild now whenever Columbus wins a
game.

Very Bad Practice.

The attention of umpires Is called to
the fact that growing practice on the
part Of batters is one reason why base
ball games sometimes are longer than
they need be. The habit Of batters STEP
ping out of the box for little or no rea-
son is spreading and there is no good
reason why it should be allowed. What
Is meant is that batters In a moment
Of petulance at real or fancied deliber-
ateness on the part Of the pitcher step
out of the box and thus waste more
time. At the least sign Of slowness or
hesitancy by the pitcher. out Of the
box steps the batter. much as a peevish
child might be expected to do It's a
childish thing to do anyway

as a result OF the secret sessions. Al
though there were frequent demands

costly, but that instead OF being

had been made. the premier stated, but
We cannot rob our generals OF the au-
dacity that gives victory"
Reproaches Government.
NJ Accabray caused another disturb
ance by reproachinE the government
for sending to the United States men
their posts and permitting these men
to use the United States as spring
board" The house hooted the speaker.
NJ viviani, minister Of justice and for
mission to the United States Indignantly
denied the accusation. He said he had re-
fused to speak to the chamber in regard
to the American mission until he had been
eminent for the sake of the illustrious
representatives Of the United States as
we'll as France"
II attempted to give expression to the
infinite gratitude Of France for the United
States" he said. adding that he felt it his
duty to say to France, which had bled for
three years, that the United States loves
her with the purest love"
Serious Faults Not Denied.
Paul Painleve. minister of war, dwelt
upon the successes obtained in the April
offensive. but did not deny that serious
faults were committed. He said the re-
sponsible chiefs, among them the COM
mander-in-chief fGen. Nivelle), had been
relieved OF command. Investigations will
be begun In a few days, he said to fix
responsibility and permit tho government
70 take necessary steps.
NJ Painleve was applauded by the whole
house when he quoted President Wilson's
words to the effect that there was no al
formative other than to conquer or submit,
adding: THE peace which lies behind the
smiles of Scheidemann (the German So
cialist leRder) and the pan-Germans
means that tomorrow Germany's intact
fleet viii dominate the seas. German In
dustry will dominate the markets and Ger
man gold will dominate our devastated
regions"
He also gave warning against the dan
