Where
The Thunder
Comes From

We said the other day
that economy was the
universal watchword In
these strenuous war
times.
| Sometimes, we regret
to say. It's also a CATCH
word, used glibly for the
exploitation of selfish
aims. 1t is a word we
must all do our share to
protect from misuse by |
over-use. which dulls the |
fine edge of its signi-
ficance.
II cannot hear whatyou
SAY" writes Emerson,
"for the thunder OF what,
you ARE"
With some business !
houses economy" is a |
preachword. With this |
house it is a practiceword. |
One practiceword is
worth a mouthful of |
preachwords. For this
reason it isn't necessary |
to have a cuckoo around,
chirping "Economyi Saw
ingsi Opportunity into
the ear of each purchaser
in our Furniture Sale.
Purchasers can usually
read figures on price-tags.
They rarely make pur-
chases without having a
general impression or
knowledge of what they
could get for the same
money elsewhere.
The thunder that tells |
them of the savings that |
ARE, in Wanamaker Sale /
furniture, is not the roar
of our advertising, but the
potent voices of thou
sands of price-tags, all
talking at once.

THE GREAT$LEAUER
OF OUR ALLIES

Our boys are now following the
great leader Of our Allies "over
there" fighting the battle Of the
United States, fighting without
thought Of being heroes-but fight
ing that men, women and children
may not be tortured, burned and
mutilated. Fighting against the
bestial foe Of America and mankind.
No greater heroes nor braver men
ever fought on the battle-felds Of
France than our Sammies. Men
with dauntless spirits-men Of red
blood, courage, energy, vim and
vigor are needed every day behind
the lines as well as behind the guns.
You need iron in the blood Every
healthy man or woman should have
about as much iron in his or her
body as there is in an ordinary
"tenpenny" nail. To gain this iron,
the best way is to take an iron-tonic,
called Iron-tic," a combination Of
iron in its most soluble form, dis
covered by DR.. Pierce and expert
mented with by his physicians at the
Surgical Institute in Buffalo, N. Y.

FAMILIES wishing
IL to keep elegant
homes up-to-date with
elegant furnishings
frequent these August
Sales regularly, some
of them coming from
far ends of this conti-
nent to do it, because
they know they can
rely on Wanamaker
taste, Wanamaker val
ues and Wanamaker
fair-pricing.
In dining-room suits
they will find much to
interest them - so
many new and convent
ent features added to
familiar servitors in
furniture-and woods
and workmanship more
beautiful than ever.
A new style serving
table of handsome wal
nut in Queen Anne
style contains, instead
of the usual long
draw, two 20-inch-deep
cupboards, adorable to
the heart of woman for
storage purposes. The
delicate decorations of
wreaths and beading
on door-panels, back
board, ETC., give a
charming effect. $57.
Even more novel and
full of possibilities is
the serving table be-
longing to an exquisite
12-piece suit of walnut,
priced only $424. In
shape a semi-oval, it
suggests a handsome
end table or console
rather than a prosaic
serving-table, and this
impression is enhanced
by the graceful, open
effect below given by

AGAIN EXPLAINED
To Enfranchise American Women
and Disfranchise Unnatural
lied Aliens in One Stroke.

II seems that 1t isn't possible to ex-
plain too often why the suffrage
amendment and the amendment taking
the franchise from aliens not natural
lied should have been submitted to
the voters Of South Dakota as separate
propositions and not In one amend
ment. Here Is the logic of the case
once more presented:
Suppose two separate amendments
had 'been submitted. One would define
electors as men and women, with the
necessary qualifications as to age and
residence, who are either citizens or
had declared their intention to be-
come such. The other would define
electors as men who were citizens,
either native born or n~aturalized.
IL one of these amendments carried
and the other failed the intention of
the voters would, OF course, be plain
and the effect of the amendment easy
to determine. But suppose both car
ried. South Dakotans would then
have two definitions OF a voters quail
fications adopted at the same time,
each as conclusive as the other upoa
the question involved and the two so
inconsistent that each would destroy
the effect of the other and both would
fail.

SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Oct. 19.-The market,
despite the light receipts continued
its descent, and was again sharply
lower throughout. Neither the ship
pers nor the packers showed urgent
needs, and were content to let hogs
go by rather than pany anything like
steady prices
Sellers, on the other hand, anxious
to move their hogs as 500 as posi-
bic. were willing to take a discount
rather than risk holding their hogs
for later sales.
Chicago reported a fair run of
hogs and a continuation Of the down.
ward course of bidding. which mate
rally affected bidding here.
In general hog prices were around
zoe lower On all grades. Top hogs
sold at s17.45, and the bulk of sales
was made at $685. @17.20.

Women's Splendid Service SaUed
the Allied Cause.-The Woman
Question a War Question
LLOYD GEORGE

Premier Lloyd George Ito the Allied Womens Congress at Paris
n few weeks ago)
IF it had not been for the splendid manner In which the women
came forward to work In the hospitals and muniuon factories, In adj
ministrative offices of all kinds and In war work behind the lines, often
in daily danger of their lives, Great Britain and, 1 believe, all the
Allies would have been unable to withstand the enemy attacks of the
last few months.
because they would be weak when 1t came to understanding the issues
and bearing the strains of a great war. My experience in South Wales
last week is what has confirmed me In the belief that the women there
understand perfectly what is at stake In this war.
ITO them this war Is a crusade for righteousness and entlenes
and they do not mean to make peace until the Allies have made lit Inn
possible for another carnival of violence to befan mankind.
"This wal began In order that force and brutality might crush omt
freedom among men. Its authors cannot have foreseen that one AZ IFS
main effects would be to give woL1en q commanding position and inau.
ence In the public affairs OF the world"
On O n earlier occasion Premier Lloyd George said:
"Womenis work in the war has been a vial contrbutfon RI or

TWO IN ONE
Why Legislature Linked Two
Good Measures
Together.

Amendment Il goessto the voters In
Its present form, BECAUSE
The Legislature of 1917 had already
submitted a woman suffrage amend
ment, and
The special session OF 1913, called
to enact wal emergency measures,
faced the necessity Of correcting the
states lax election law, which permits
men to vote before they swear al
legiance to the United States.
Both questions pertain to the qualiti-
cations of voters and must therefore
be amendments to Article Z OF the
Constitution, which defines them.
With m amendment to Article Z al
ready submitted. another could come
only as an amendment to that amend.
ment and must be germane TO Ii.
An amendment to eliminate the
word male could not be amended by
one which would pertain only to males.
Therefore, In order to submit the
anti-alien measure, 1t was necessary to
incorporate Ii into the already sub
mitted woman suffrage amendment.
