some GOOD REASONS
FOR TRADING AT HOME
PROMINENT CITIZEN IN HEARTY
ACCORD WITH CAMPAIGN
BEGUN BY THE NEWS.

The "Trade-at- Home campaign
inaugurated by The News in connec-
ton with merchants and other bust
ness interests of Dawson is being
universally approved and commend
ed.
Mr. ]. A. Shields has, endorsing
the movement, himself gave some
splendid resons why Dawson people
should patronize Dawson firms. eve
should trade at home," said Mr..
Shields, because a careful compare
son of the prices and values will
show that on nearly everything we
can save money by doing so.
1.-THE merchandise sold by our
home merchants is of standard quail
ity and workmanship, and its wear
ing qualities are backed not only by
them but also by the factories that
make them.
IF we are dissatisfied with an ar
ticle it is easy and convenient to
either exchange it for something suit
able or get our money back without
going to the bother of writing let
ter and packing it for shipment.
When we buy from our home mer-
chant he gives US the benefit of his
valuable experience and knowledge
if we are in doubt as to Just what
we need. If we spend money with
our home merchant when we have
the cash he gets to know US and if
we get hard up he will give US credit,
which we can't get from distant con-
Germs.
"a big per cent. of every dollar
that is spent here stays here, and it's
distributed back to the rest of us in
the way of wages, rent, interest,
doctor bills, lawyer fees, taxes, and
the purchase of the necessities of life
for the merchant and his clerks. The
more business that's done here the
faster and bigger our town will grow.
"Our home merchants want our
trade tomorrow as we'll as today, and
they know they will have to give a
square deal to get it and keep it."

BOY BADLY CUT and
HIS NOSE ALMOST SEVERED
Frank Harper Seriously, Injured as
He Crashed Into Window While
Riding a Bicycle.

Frank, the young son of Mr.. and
Mrs. M. H. Harper, was painfully in
Jured late Wednesday afternoon.
When speeding along the street near
the Pleas-U theatre he crashed into
plate glass window. The broken
glass cut deeply into his face, half
the little fellows nose being laid bare
on his cheek
sSome little time elapsed before a
doctor could be found to stop the
flow of blood. 1t was necessary to
take several stitches. On coming
from under the influence of the
anaesthetic Franks first words were
eff you've finished sewing me up let
me find Moses (his brother) and
give him the note grandpa sent by
me-" The little fellow showed re-
markabie nerve throughout the or
deal.

OVER THERE, OVER
HERE OVER NIGHT
BILLY CLIFFORD AND HIS LADY
BAND ARE COMING TO TOWN
WITH A GREAT SHOW.

Billy Single Clifford is coming to
town with an all new show this sea-
son, new ladies' band, bigger and
better than ever, all new faces in
the cast with the exception of dainty
little Miss Mae Collins, whom every
one remembers as Ginger" because
of her fire red hair and her Scotch
accent.
The play this year is from the pen
of one of our most versatile writer's.
and it has a laugh in every line and
the song numbers that are added
serve to round out a perfect eve
ning's enjoyment. The ladies' band
is still big feature and the ladies'
orchestra this year is the best that
Mr.. Clifford has ever carried. The
leader is Miss Nell Young, gifted
violin player, who has served sew
eral seasons in chautauqua work and
whose playing is big feature every
where. One of the important changes
in the Clifford show this season is that
the orchestra stays in the pit the
entire evening and between acts they
render a class of selections which
is likened to indoor chautauqua.
Several men are carried with the
company and are headed by the iu-
venile blackface comedian, Master
frankie Harris, whose songs and
dances are hit everywhere.
Ney Bob Fleck is a newcomer to
the American stage and halls from
Over There country, a a France.
Unlike the average French comedian,
his work stands out for it's very
cleanness, and Eddie Hogan, "a dancer
of international fame, plays principal
part and is proving himself a rare
comedian as we'll as dancer. And
then there is an added attraction this
season, Sing Akamatsu.
The women of the cast all have
good parts and Miss Helen Clark, the
prima dona contralto, is an excellent
singer and carries off the honors with
the heavier and more classical num-
bers of the program, although she is
introducing wop number that
proves she can do comedy as we'll as
anyone. Of course, little Mae Col
Inns is the leading lady as usual, and
she is offering several songs that are
big hits everywhere. Billy, who is
still Single, is in excellent voice and
offers several songs, while with cover
There" Cohan's song and the title
of the play as well, is getting six and
seven encores nightly with it.
