Of the large amounts for heavy ord
nance which VIII come from the Arpro-
priations Committee in the fortlnca-
ton bin and viii amount TO at least
s3,000ooo,0oo, according TO present es-
Inmates.
Under pressure Of wartime conditions
the military committee also adopted a
legislative rider to the army bill which
practically makes the entire appropria-
tlon lump sum- This provision goes
even further than the request Of the
War Department. which asked for vir-
tual lump sum appropriations for the
quartermaster and ordnance bureaus.
The rider provides that appropria-
tlons for the next fiscal year shall be
interchangeable as between bureaus
and activities OF the War Department,
that is, funds for one bureau or use
may be diverted 10 another In the event
OF military necessity. This gives the
War Department practically free
hand TO spend the record breaking
amount appropriated IN any manner
which inures to the successful conduct
OF the war.

them thus quartered, occupying posi-

however, are living in the trenches

A certain Dawson man was in our
store few days ago, and during a
conversation which we had with him
ne made the remark that he had been
having lots of trouble with his feet.
We asked him what kind of shoes
ana what price shoe had he been buy
ing, and he stated the name of the
shoe, saying that he had been pay
ing nine and ten dollars for them.
We insisted on showing him a few
Oh our famous So and $3.50 line of
shoes and slippers. He liked the
looks at them at the first glance and
exclaimed, '"By Jinks, l think that is
the shoe for me-" We made him the
following proposition: that if the
shoes did not give him absolute sat
lsfactlon that we would refund his
money. He jumped at the PROPOSE
ton.
Meeting him on the streets a. few
days afterward we asked him how
ne liked the shoes, and this is what
ne said: "The shoes have given me
as much comfort as any shoe that I
nave ever worn and I have paid as
high as S11 for shoes, and believe me.
from now on l am not going to pay
two prices for my shoes but am com
ing straight to the Dawson Trading
