GOUGE THE HARDER.


 The allies have their finger in Kaiser Bills eye evidently, and he has begun to holler "Kamarad,' but our opinion is it's only German trick to get the finger out, and no doubt the partn.ers of Uncaa Sam in the big scrap think the same, and will with our Uncle's help, gouge but the harder.

DO YOUR CHRISTMAS
 SHOPPING EARLY

Do your Christmas shopping early and you will not regret it, is the ad- vice of the Independent. Conditions are going to be unusual this fall in mercantile circles or we miss our guess. It is not going to be ques- tion of pick and choose, but instead, one of finding the goods you want, and the stacker in Christmas shop ping will certainly find stocks badly broken, which will necessitate taking what can be had, and not what you want, and are looking for.

carriage charges may be added, but business must be conducted so as not to make net over six per cent on turnover for year.

 "The dealers cost will be deter mined by his invoice price, plus freight and drayage to warehouse door, or his average cost of like com modities that may be in stock and not previously contracted, at time of receiving the last shipment"
