Burlington, Nov. 1.-The Knights of
Columbus turned out last night EN- masse
to hear a farewell speech from Lieut..
Frank NJ. 0'Reilly, chaplain of the 18th
cavalry, who is to leave the city shortly
with his regiment
Although Father 0'Reilly has been in
this vicinity but month he has en-
desred himself to all by his speeches on
the internal conditions in Germany as
we'll as in solicitation for subscriptions
for the second Liberty loan, and last
nights speech was, if anything, more
forcefully delivered and more heartily re-
ceived than any that has preceded.
Following his introduction to those as
sembled by the grand knight, Thomas
B. Wright, the speaker said the German
nation was nothing less than the pagan
country of old revived, and that while
royalty was 'the thing" there, the officers
were the fringe of this royalty, second
only to which were the professors in the
colleges. The common people of the Ger

"LUXURY" INDUSTRIES
GET NO COAL RELIEF
Garfield to Give Fuel Priority to Plants
Essential to War Vic

Washington, Nov. l.--So-called 'lux-
ury industries" are being cut off from
their coal supply by Fuel Administrator
Garfield A silk manufacturer is the first
to feel the rule that industries not es-
sential to victory in the war shall receive
no relief from coal shortage, even though
the factories be forced to close.
The fact was officially announced yes
terday, and it was further stated that all
luxury" plants which cannot obtain
coal on the open market will receive no
government help. 1t also shows, officials
declared, the futility of electric sign
owners seeking to modify the forthcom-
ing order curtailing electric sign lighting
Garfeld's plan is to give coal priority
to railroads, army and navy, public utl-
tiles, munition plants and plants essen
tial to victory in the war. A sufficient sup
ply of fuel will be distributed to private
homes

The Height-of-
Season Display

This display offers you
the latest and best of the
seasons styles, just when
you want them. The ma
terials are of a good
weight wool, as t h ey
should be for comfortable
winter wear, and most of
the garments are inter-
lined.
When you consider the
style, which carries such con-
sentative lines, and the full
ness of sweep, you will realize
that you are paying hardly
any advance from former sea-
sons. And then you will real
ize that a garment cut on the
lines of this seasons style will
carry over into next season
and be of nearly as good style
as this.
In showing you Coats and
Suits, we standardize the
Wooltex and Printz-Beider-
man lines, and all other lines
must come up to that stand
ard.
We have many new designs
and values coming into the de-
partment every day now, and
will be for the next few
weeks.
