A New Misses
Suit, 5000
A Model That Sells Regularly for
5000 and $500
As the result of fortunate
purchase of several OF these
smart garments we are able
to make a very low price.
One of our best makers produced
50 of these original suits for us from
a limited quantity of material he
had on hand which could not be
used in any other way on account
of the insufficient supply. Hence
we were able to secure these suits
at much less than regular cost.

THE SPIRIT OF PEACE ON EARTH

a
Not in four years at least has the spir-
it of peace on earth, good win toward
men" been so general over the whole
world as at the present Christmas sea
son. Wars have ceased, or practically
son: and rumors of wars are more or less
faint rumblings. Men are more nearly
brothers than they have been for gen.
erations, Despite the animosities which
necessarily arise in the clash Of arms
there is closer bond of relationship be-
tween all nations; never has the need of
interrelation been more apparent than at
the present time. We see nations drawn
together in the aspiration for the eleva-
ton of the world; and we see those ma
tions preparing to lend the kindly hand
to lead their recent enemies back to the
paths of right living. The Christmas
season Of 1918 finds the world ready for
higher things-made ready perhaps by
the sacrifice of uneounted millions but
nevertheless grasping after better things
as if purified by that same sacrifice. One
may confidently hope that the sacrifice
has not been made in vain and that the
lesson drawn from the terrific struggle
may be carried in mind for all time so
that nations will dwell together in unity,
or at least with tolerance Of each other.

Feet.

A letter was received from Pvt. Neal

and tell what fronts he had been on,
but was not sure it would pass the cen
sor. He was in the front line north of
Verduh when the fighting ceased and had
seen quite little of the country around
Verdun and the city itself what there
was left Of it) and had seen and been
in places worse than hell. Nevertheless
he had come out with whole skin and
in as good health as he went in. 1t was
great weather when he wrote and there
seemed to be more sunshine since hos
tilities ceased He had great Thanks
irving dinner in the hospital-a big long
table, with table cloth, and room for 80
fellows OF more. Had few speeches, a
few songs and the nurses made some fine
cake and coffee. 1t reminded him of last
Thanksgiving in Haireville, where the
boys had to wear oyereoats and gloves,
to eat, it was so cold. He thinks two
Thanksgiving in France are enough for
him and hopes to be home next year. The
menu for the Thanksgiving dinner was :
Turkey o la Armistce, aerial bomb oys-
ter dessing, mashed potatoes au Marine,
she'll crater turnips, fixed bayonet celery,

1t should not be taken from the tenor
of the dispatches from Paris that Presi-
dent Wilson alone is completing the
groundwork for the international peace
conference which is to settle the issues Of
the war. The dispatches from Paris on
Dec % might seem to read as if Wilson
were the chief organizer of the conference
but they apply only to that part of the
conference which the United States will
fill. The other nations will prefer, OF
course, to lay their own groundwork.

COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
HEARS CASES OF SEVERAL PER
SONS FOR A VARIETY OF
OFFENSES.

Parker, Oct. 15.-Hearings have
been held before the county council
of defense in this city during the past
few days in the cases of different
persons who were charged with vio-
lating the order of the state council
OF defense against the use of the Ger
nan language and in otherwise not
conducting themselves as loyal AM
erican citizens. Several persons had
to explain to the county council of
defense why they had refused to pur-
chase Liberty bonds, and adjusted
the matter by subscribing for their
allotments.
Four residents of Marion, two men
and two women, were before the
council on the charge of having used
the German language in public.
They testified that it was a common
practice on the part of German
speaking people of their town to con
gregate in groups and in the
German language.
A Marion storekeeper also was be.
fore the council on the charge of per
hitting the speaking of German il
his place of business.
Just what action will be taken in
these cases by the county council hai
not yet been announced. Henri.
Mundhenke and his son Ebert wer'
before the council for refusing I,
purchase their allotment Of Libert,
bonds. They became SO angry tina
a riot nearly resulted. and as a result
the father and son have been cite
to appear before Judge Fleeger, O
the state circuit court, to show VIII
they were not in contempt of cour
for refusing to obey the orders of tn
county council Of defense.

CITY Commission
ROUTINE BUSINESS AT LAST
EVENINGS WEEKLY
SESSION.

The city commission met last even
ing in the usual meeting place and
held a very short session as there
was no business of much importance
to be transacted. Commissioner
Henkin was out of the city on bust
ness, but Mayor Robertson, A. G.
Schmidt and VIM. Rae were present.
The minutes of the last regular
and the special meeting held last Sat
urday morning were read and duly
approved.
A bid for the construction of some
concrete sidewalk On lower Egan av-
enue was read and acted upon. j. S.
Thompson, of this city, was the sole
bidder for this work and he offered
to put in the walk according to spec
ifications at IA cents per square foot
for the walk and 80 cents per cubic
yard for the filling. The motion
made to accept this bid received al
immediate second and thus Mr.
Thompson becomes the builder O
said walk.
A. Kallsen, who has just purchased
the Warfield pool hall, was present
petitioning the commission for a Ii
cense to operate his place under lie
gal regulations. This matter will
come up for action at a later date.
AS there was no other business t
consider the meeting adjourned.

A dinner party in honor of DR.. and
Mrs. Eyman, was served at the resi-
dence of DR.. and Mrs. Hovde last
evening. The decorations were sug-
gestive of American patriotism and
were appropriate for the occasion
since DR.. Eyman leaves tomorrow to

FIRE LAST night
BARN AND HAY BURN ON MRS.
ANNA JOHNsON's FARM.

At $50 last night a fire broke out
in a barn ear Lake Madison. Mrs.
Anna Johnson owns the property on
which the barn burned. This prop
srty lies next west from the chautau-
qua grounds. The blaze which could
be seen from the city, attracted many
auto loads of people to the place, but,
lacking water, little assistance could
be rendered, consequently the barn
and two stacks of hay were complete
ly destroyed.
Apparently the fire started in the
hay loft and it was only a short time
before the whole building was en-
veloped in flames. This fire adds
materially to the recent troubles this
family has suffered. Mrs. Johnson's
son, Otto, is in the army, and not sc
very long ago his wife sustained g
broken arm in an auto accident.
