Ladies' Fur Sets

The time for your selection
of Furs is now at hand. If
you need Furs, you want them
the first of the season. Then
you get the first and best
wear from them and protect
yourself at the time of the
season when Furs are of the
most value to you. Then,
Furs are not like cloths, as
hardly two Furs are the same,
and we try and give each GUS
toner the best Fur in the as
sortment. So, the last of the
season, the Furs that are left
are the poorest in the line.
We have an exceptionally
large line to select from in
qualities and values that you
surely will appreciate. The
real value is in them, and ev-
cry Fur we guarantee as in
former seasons.

Ladies' Tailored Suits

The Tailored Suits are now
in good demand. The weight
of the materials and the length
of the Coats appeal to the lady
of fashion as the proper gar
ment for the season. For a
dressy garment, there is
nothing that can take the
place of the Tailored Suit, and
this season they are more
suitable for warmth and serv-
ice than for some time.
You will find some unusual
ly snappy Suit models in the
Printz-Beidermann and Wool
tex lines. Then, these Suits
are made from materials that
are the best. Every garment
has special attention, and you
will find they will keep their
shape and look well after a
seasons wear. We want you
to see these exceptional Suit
values.

OROUTH CATTLE

We are informed that fourteen car loads
OF Texas drouth cattle have been shipped in
and will be put on the natural ranges south
OF Delta Madison planters have purchased
several thousand head of such cattle and it
now looks like the raising of cattle will be
an important factor in the future of this
section. Cattlemen believe that the unusual
advantages of this section for stock will in
duce some of the owners in the drouth
stricken sections to make investments here
In lands specially adapted to stock raising
The following from the Times-Picayune
shows that the movement is growing in
other sections of the state:
THE drouth which has prevailed to such
wide extent throughout Texas this fall has
also helped along the new industry. AS we
have already noted thousands of cattle have
been brought from Texas to Louisiana and
Mississippi, because of conditions arising
from the drouth, some of them coming here
to be slaughtered and others for grazing and
fattening. 1t is now announced that the
drive IN this direction is steady growing and
that many of the Texas cattle men are NOV
ing into these states, being impressed with
the great advantages they offer for cattle.
What these advantages are have already
been noted, the long open winter when
cattle do not have to be fed, or are fed only
an part, and small losses from the cold. The
present fall has further emphasized the ad-
vantages that cattle growers enjoy in an
abundance of rain and plenty of water from
which Texas and its cattle industry have
suffered lately. Wemay, therefore, reason
ably expect a still greater Improvement
offered us, the best of opportunities to de-
monstrate how we'll Louisiana is suited to
dairying and stock raising and thus adding
70 the industrial activities of these states. /"

PRESIDENT AND SUFFRAGE

LAS one OF the spokesman of the great
party, would be doing nothing less than
obeying the mandates of that party if l gave
my hearty support to the question of woman
suffrage which you represent, bit do not
want to speak merely as one of the spokes-
men of a party. l want to speak for myself
and say that it seems to me that this is the
time for the states of this Union to take
this action. | perhaps may be touched a
little to. much by the traditions of our poll
tics traditions which lay such questions
almost entirely upon the states, but | want
co see communities declare themselves
quickened at this time and show the conse-
quence of the quickening.
Il, therefore, am very glad to add nv
voice to those which are urging the people
of the great state of New York to set a
great example by voting for woman suffrage
1t would be pleasure if I might utter that
advice in their presence. Inasmuch as | am
bound too close to my duties here to make
that possible, l am glad to have the privilege
OF asking you to convey that message TO
them"
In addressing delegation of woman
suffrage advocates at Washington President
Wilson gave voice to the above sentiments.
There is no doubt that the attitude of Mr..
Wilson at this time will have potent effect
on this issue; and that his advocacy of the
suffrage cause will go long way towards
the success of the campaign for the en-
reimbursement of women. We find the same
common sense in this declaration that has
characterised all the presidents expressions
on critical issues.

by those who believe that peace will soon be
reached. A cold summing up of the situa-
ton is bound to force the conclusion that
Germany is still powerful and that. every
effort must be made in the United States to
meet the probability of several more years
of war. &
These conditions should impress upon
every individual the necessity for conserva-
ton and should induce determined effort
on the part of every man to make every
edge cut during the next year. Close and
careful attention should be given to the gov
eminent propaganda in order that the i'm
portant points in conservation be not over
looked. The serious efforts now being made
by the government to arouse the people
should reach willing ears and willing hands.

BANK; MINERS ARE

Duluth, Sept. 25.-Now that pota-

the potato bank is about to be es-
tablished in iron mining sections Of
Minnesota, where 'spud" owners can
deposit them and CHECK" them out.
Reports from the ranges indicate
that the miners potato crops will be
enormous. One mining company fur
nished its employees in one district with
more than 336 plots of land and the
seed potatoes to plant them. Out Of
these 336 plots alone, more than 49,
900 bushels of potatoes are to be har-
vested.
The potato banks now being CON
structed by the companies will care
for the big crop. Each miner will have
a bin where his potatoes will be "de-
posted" An employe of the company
will have charge Of the bank and
will deliver the potatoes on written or
ders or Cheeks" in such quantities
as are desired by. their owners. There
is no charge for the care of the po-
tatoes or for the use Of the banks"
The banks" are huge frostproof
warehouses, especially constructed for
the purpose for which they are to be
used. Turnips, cabbages and other

the miners gardens will also be plac-

for those struggling young men in
Greenwich village who otherwise
might not take a very prominent part
in the war. II their energies and tall
the right direction 1t could be used
to flabbergast the Germans in endless
ways.
At one place back Of the British
lines there is a school that has a spe-
cial course in camouflage, which is
the French term for this branch Of
faunal taking. A correspondent was
taken on a tour Of inspection through
the school Of deception, and while not
taught 1t a be stated that some
miracles are done daily in getting up
new tricks to lok at Germans without
being seen or to cover up deadly In.

Near the base of a tree covered hill
is a series of practice trenches all
built to resemble in every way the ac-
envy lines. There are YER a few
shell craters scattered out in front of
the barbed wire entanglements to give
the fake trenches a more natural ap-
~pearance. The instructor stood with
the correspondent in front of this line
of earthworks and told him in an off
hand way that there were six mel

few feet away from him.

1T is taken for granted that the

The procedure which has resulted
in the sending Of two replies to the
Pope from Germany is explained on
the ground that al the German peo-
