the committee that it will not be nee

come later.
The bill will not come up for gem

has been disposed of, according %

man of the finance committee, is eX-

smouldered and even famed up last
May when. in a small riot, three
negroes were shot and wounded, and

the arrival of soldiers quiet was quick

to build an addition to the negro set

project was defeated. The incident

Good Thing To Remember

A good thing for you to bear In
mind is that you can buy goods
cheaper at home than abroad. Last
week the Morich Furniture company
carried an advertiaemen in the
Chieftain advertising C0ngOleum
rugs, size 9x12 for $40, delivered at
your door. The current issue OF
the Womans Home Companion car
ries page advertisement of one OF
the larger eastern concerns adver-
tising the Congoleum rug, size 9xl2
for $1250 Here is the same ar
ticle at a price One-fOurth higher
than you can buy at home-and
yet some will insist upon sending
their money out of town to build
up other countries than our own.
Why not read the advertisements
in the paper and keep posted on
current prices and take advantage
of these special offers?
