Household Purchasing

The seasonal sales may be made
an efficient part OF the housewives
system OF economy by a little fore
thought and planning said the head
Of the advertising department OF
large store. 1T is a matter of fol-
lowing the sales year after year, and
the sooner one begins TO study into
this important item in household
economy. the sooner will the house
wife's budget approach a logical re-
lation 70 her income.
These sales are not a means Of
getting rid Of shOpworn material.
but a process OF business efficiency
whereby We liquidate the stock and
at the same time provide a means of
meeting the needs OF intelligent
housewives. For instance, let us take
this month and next. We, with
other merchants. Will feature bed
ding. ready-to-wear clothing, shoes.
children's suits and dresses. rugs,
furniture and reupholstering fabrics.
linens and laces, and many more Of
the staples of household equipment.
Many Of these are perfectly new
goods. some Of the winter stock. and
material that viii be just as good
next year as this. for styles in these
things do not change so rapidly as
10 make them noticeable. Our side
Of the bargain is TO get rid of the
necessity OF carrying over "A heavy
stock 20 the next season. Each de-
partment head studies TO calculate
in his buying the amount his depart
ment can carry. for all must be
cleared out at the end of a certain
period. Stock must keep moving.
Some housewives buy only at sales.
They may have linen enough for a
few months. but. finding an excep-
tional sale of linen. they wisely in
vest and, by the reduction in price,
actually get a per cent on the invest
ment equal TO what the money
would have earned in the savings
bank. 1t takes. however, planning
ahead 10 have the money on hand TO
buy at such times. A woman once
said. These sales are not for the
woman Of moderate means, only for
the woman who has large bank ac-
count. l said TO her, Yes, and you
could have one if you would begin
on just one item year. This would
save you so much that you would
always follow it,

GERMAN AGENTS IN
 RUSSIA SPREADING
 ISLANDER ABOUT J. s.

WASHINGTON, Nov 6-German agents have been spreading malicious reports concerning the United States war aims through Russia according to Dr. Frank Billings who has been serving as head of the Red Cross mission recently in that country Dr.. Billings has just returned from his tour and has visited the President for he purpose of revealing the proofs of pepicous German
 propaganda which he discovered while in the new repub- lie
 The chief calumny being circulated is that the United States is in the war simply for gain she is also declared o be merely yassaI of England and to be subseWenty doing the bidding of the British leaders.
 The Russians however, sas Billings are not as sim pie as the Germans appear o nove, and they persist m regarding the United States as their mes friend among the world powers General conditions in Russia also gradually improving according to the Red Cross repesen- tative The army is being re-organzed and effective fighting units with vim and inspiration are expected to be creating new Russian situation in a short time.

DESCENT UPON THE
 FINLANDERS ID BE
 NEXT MOVE IN WAR

PETROGRAD, Nov 6. - A report from Stockholm says that in view of the easy advance Russian territory recently made by the Germans that the latter are prepa ing for descent on Finland.
 The belief is general here that the Pssians will meet with little resistance account of the fact that peace propaganda has been spread about in Finland more asd uousy than anywhere else in the nation and the people are less hostile to the Germans there than in any other district
 That the Germans intend to use only small body of troops their invasion is the credited rmOr in military circles here The Russian troops stationed Finland few in number and little hope is entertained that they will make any great struggle.
 The main object of the Finnish campaign is under stood to be to capture the railroad running from Russia up into Sweden thus isoatng the republic farther than ever.

UNCLE SAM IS
 IN EARNEST IN
 THE WAR GAME

WASHINGTON, Nov 8. - If any one in Germany really believes that Uncle Sam is not going at this war in grim earnest here are some fig ures that ought to undcceiye him:
 By September 3Oth next there will have been prepared for the army alone something like fifty million shells, costing close to Sl l,OOO,OOO,OOO.
 This will require close to 2,OOO,OOO tons of bars and steel forgings. On the basis of four cents a pound, this steel alone will cost SIGG,OOO,OOO.
 Thirty-three million 75-milIimeter shells for field and anti-aircraft guns will require about 605,OOO tons of steel.
 Approximately 1TOOO,OOO larger sized shells, varying from 6 to lZ ln- ches in diameter, will require 1,OOO,- 900 tons of steel.
 And all this vast amount of metal is to be hurled against the German lines on the Western front, in addition to what the English and French have in store for the kaiserS men

PURITAN THANKSGIVING
 PROPOSED TO HOOVER

WASHINGTON, Nov 6.-Restore puritanical Thanksgiving. Make Thanksgiving day this year a fast and not a feast. Make it fast not only to accord with the sacrifcial character of war times, but as an aid to food conservation. This is a suggestion that has been made here and that has secured the tacit approval of Food Administrator Hoover. It is possible that the President will recommend the idea in his Thanksgiving prOclama- tiop.

FAMOUS GREEK
 Of THE YUkON
 IS WORKtU OUT

DAWSON, Nov. 3.-With the freez- ing up of the Klondike and the clos ing down Of the dredgcs for the win ter, the cream of the placer ground of that famous stream is practically cleaned out. The big dredges of the Yukon Gold Company finished the seasons work by dredging the entire creek from end to end, and also com pleted dredging Eldorado to 27 above Discovery last week.
 These operations take about all of the best ground. The once rich dirt is exhausted, or practically so. There is still some pay dirt to be handled, but the biggest part of the job is com pleted, and part of the dredges will be taken to other sections.
 Crews are now engaged in knocking down two of the largest dredges, and they will be hauled in during the win ter so they can be loaded and shipped to the outside on one of the first boats next spring. While it is not known where they will be sent, it is thought likely they may be taken to Murray Idaho, where one of the company's dredges from here was shipped last June, and which has just been in- stalled and is now working.

 The shipment in question is from the mine of the Alaskan Engineering Commission, located in Unit l2 on the Chckaoon River less than mile north of the Ma tanuska River number of coal beds outcrop along the Chickaoon River in this unit and constitute some of the best coal showugs so far discovered in the MatanuSka fed The United States Navy obtained in 1914 about 500 tons of coal from this unit for testing purposes with satisfactory results the efficiency of the coal very closely approximating that of Pocahontas (W.
