Buy Clothes Now and
Save Money

These are prosperous times.
There's employment for every
body, money is plentiful, bus
mess is good. But it is just as
important now to save money
as at any other time, and you
will save money by doing your
clothes buying here and now.
The enormous additional con-
sumption of woolens in the
manufacture of army uni
forms means a tremendous
scarcity of fabrics for civilian
clothes and higher prices are
inevitable. Anticipating this
condition and using every ia
cility at the command of our
buying power we contracted
months ago for enormous
stocks of goods at extremely
low prices.

WAR SUMMARY.

Bad weather has interfered with opera
lions on the western front. No extensive
or important movements have been made.
The Italians have continued their often
sives and have materially advanced south
ward towards Trieste and northward in
the direction of Tolmino. 1t is stated
that the Austrians have lost 1901 men
in their defensive against the Italians.
The Germans have continued their rapid
advance into Russia, have taken Riga, an
important naval base, and are pursuing
the fleeing Russians who are destroying
villages and farm houses as they retreat.
German air raiders have attacked Chat
ham, a strong English naval base, and
dropped several tons of bombs, killing 108
seamen and wounding 90 Others French
airmen have made bombing raids on Ger
man positions, and Italian planes have
attacked the great Austrian naval base at
Pola. 1t is rumored that the Japanese
are coming to the aid of Russia and are
concentrating troops east of Manchuria.

INEFFCIENCY SOMEWHERE.

A Washington dispatch under date of
Sept. list, says that there are nearly 100
Dutch cargoes of grain held in American
ports by reason of the embargo. The
dispatch further states that the grain is
mostly corn, which has spoiled and is now
fit only for cattle. We have in this coun-
try a multitude of boards, committees,
bureaus, councils, leagues and associa-
tons. The Food Administration Board
had arranged to have these cargoes 60
onward The Export Board, it is said,
decided to let no food 60 to Europe till the
American Government has found how
much we require for ourselves. Good
sou nd corn is worth S. ID bushel. At
last accounts discussion was going on
which in effect was to decide whether to
unload the ships and sell the corn to
farmers for feeding purposes or to let it
swell and ferment until it was entirely
worthless. President Wilson has repeat
eddy urged the people to plant gardens
and to conserve food in every possible
way, and people have responded to his
wise and timely suggestions. Mr.. Hoover
has said SO much to us in the papers that
few people now take time to read what
he says. He has told the housewives that
not an ounce of bread should be wasted
and that every crust should be ground
fine and later used in making "army

HIT THEM HARD.

The President is now vigorously en-
forcing an embargo on cotton, steel, cop
per, food stuffs and other important war
supplies. 1t is to be regretted that this
was not done the day war was declared.
Too long has watchful waiting hung like
an incubus on the spirit and patriotism of
the United States. The alert vigilance
and foresight of the Germans is strik
ing contrast to our hesitant policies. Ever
since the beginning of the year 1915,
Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden and
Norway have been purchasing enormous
quantities of war supplies in this country
and shipping them to Germany. There
they have been stored and if this had not
been done the Hindenburg line would
have been given up months ago. We
have been fighting Germany with volleys
of pillows long enough We must now
strike to hit the solar plexus, and strike
hard

THE NEWS OF THE ORANGES.

A very enjoyable meeting of Morning
Light Grange, Monroe, was held on Sat-
urday evening, Sept. list, when a consid-
cradle number of the members of Comet
Grange, Swanville, and other invited
guests were present, altogether number
ing 1870. The regular business, and re-
marks by visiting members occupied the
time until recess, when supper was served
in the lower hall. Grange later recon-
vened and the lecturer presented the fol-
lowing program: Song, by the choir, My
State of Maine; address of welcome, Har-
old Clements; response by Worthy Master
Webb of Comet Grange; reading, The
Red Cross, Myrtle Hartley; song, Where
the River Shannon Flows, Fred Cunning
ham; original poem by C. M. Moore;
essay; The Grange as a Social Unit, by

decorated with flowers and the national
colors, and the guests were heartily well
coined by the host Grange. Pleasing re-
marks were made by Worthy Master

CLOSE TIME.

On Sept. 3Oth the law closes all lakes
against fishing for bass and white perch.
A writer in the Maine Farmer, beseeches
the Commissioners of Inland Fish and
Game to extend the closing time till the
lakes are frozen, thus giving the people
an opportunity to secure valuable and
much needed food. That sounds we'll.
We having had some experience in fishing
in the lakes of the settled portion of
Maine, beg leave to suggest to our friend
that he and can get our living easier by
giving advice to other people than by
fishing for bass and perch in October and
November If close time is established
on advice, some farmer will give us
enough money for days work on the
farm to buy more fish than we could
catch in a week.

AN OPPORTUNITY.

Reports to the State department of
health for July from the 70 licensed cold
storage warehouses in Massachusetts,
show a storage of food amounting to
nearly 100000 pounds during July,
and also show that on Aug. list there
were stored Is, 500, 900 dozens of eggs and
II, 900, 600 pounds of butter.
These figures were for the State of
Massachusetts, alone. The prediction is
made that butter is to cost 81 LOO a pound
and eggs 80 cents dozen.
We wonder what minimum price the
President will name on these articles.
Here is an opportunity for Mr.. Wilson
and Mr.. Hoover to show whether the
food bill is ''scrap of paper" or law
for the people.

Awaits The Coming Of Troops
From New England States
With Open Hands.
WELCOMES FRIENDS
AND RELATIVES ALSO
Good Old Southern Hospitality
Awaits New Englanders in Char
lotte, Where Every Available Ac-
commodation is Being Planned BY
Citizens,

Charlotte awaits the coming of the
troops from the New England States
with open hands and their friends and
relatives as well. Their homes will
be thrown open to them. The South
ern hospitality which is somewhat
notably known throughout the nation
will be plenteously exercised toward
these soldiers who spend little while
here before going into the arduous
and dangerous labors of the trenches
The people Of Charlotte are planning
now to put within reach of the troop
Public drinking fountains are being
installed, rest and comfort rooms in
the hotels, restaurants, church base
.ments, public buildings and empty
store rooms will be provided and the
soldiers will have an opportunity
from time to time to take mea! in
the homes of the leading citizens of
the community. They will be made
to feel that they have not fallen
among thieves" but among their
friends.
In addition to what is being done
for them by the commission for train
ing camp activities, this commission
having for its business chiefly the
entertainment and comfort Of the
men, the provision of attractive enter
tainments, etc, but the Young Mems
Christian Association will extend its
benefIcient influence toward making
the stay Of the men here pleasant and
profitable And in addition to all of
these organized agencies, the indi-
vidual citizens of Charlotte will hold
back from the visiting guardsmen
nothing that will tend to give them a
taste Of Southern hospitality and feel
the warmth and cordially of the vel
come generally felt for them into this
community, for time to be their
home.
Charlotte Socially and ReIigiously.
Charlotte is recognized as one of
the most religious cities in the world.
This broad statement is substantiated
by the records which show that a
greater proportion of the adult popu-
lation of the community attends di-
vine worship than in any other city in
this country and only one in the
world exceeds it, that being Edin-
borough, Scotland. The Christian
charity of the city is notable. 1t
shows itself in ample support given
to those organizations having for
their purpose the physical and moral
and spiritual uplift of the people. 1t
maintains a number of splendid hos
pitfalls, the most recent acquisition in

lions, four Of them through which
thousands of residents are paying
weekly or monthly for the houses in
which they are living.
The City IndustrlaIiy.
Within latter years Charlotte has
made tremendous strides as a jobbing
center. The reason of its geographi-
cal location, being equi-distant from
the sandhills and the mountain re-
gions of the State and the central
point In the two Carolinas accounts
for the rapid growth of this business.
The element of transportation has not
been the least Of the conductive rea-
sons that Charlotte has maintained
such a uniform growth in this direc-
ton. 1t is at present the extreme
Southern city to which from the
main headquarters in Washington a
double track system prevails on the
Southern Railroad, the leading South
ern transportation system.
Charlotte boasts the finest subur-
ban developments of any city in the
Carolinas. The launching of Myers
Park, formerly an open area of 1000
acres Immediately adjacent to the
city limits, financed by millionaires
and converted into residential Sec
ton of surprising beauty, has added
chiefly in giving this city the name
and distinction Of being distinctive
residential city and one, too of ele-
giant dwellings. On every side of the
city proper, large suburban develop
ments have sprung up within the last
ten years and the drift of population
is away from the CONSTRUCTED centers
which are rapidly yielding to the CEN
trifugal influences of commercial
growth, making 1t necessary for the
residences to push themselves toward
the outskirts Of the city
Industrially, Charlotte ranks above
any of its competitors in the Caro-
linas both for the variety and the
magnitude Of its commercial enter
prises.
