| lieve that children will appreciate

The dry goods retail men are looking |
higher prices i'll the face as well as shoe |
| dealers. The shoe man just naturally |
expects to receive about every other day |
q notice of an advance in prices. And |
now that cotton is quoted close to the
20 cents a pound price, the dry goods
men find in their mornings mail, no
| tees of advance in all cotton goods with |
the additional information that ship I
ments may be delayed a month or so.
And the same story applies to woolen
goods.

of the year and the first meeting in
| their new lodge rooms in the Derby /
| building, the Maccabees will hold a spe /
cial meeting this evening. The children
