Open today! Good Warm Store! make for idle Monday with especially good News today

The first week of the January Silk Sale was crowned with success.
 Our success was not measured by the dollars we re- ceived for the silks sold, but by the greater ward of knowing that our customers have found our offerings and our prices satisfactory.
 It would have been good business this year not to hold January Silk Sale. Possibly we would have done less business in January, but we would have had silks to sell at greater profits during the coming spring and summer months. The demand for silks is going to be But as long as silks are procurable, you can look to Loveman, Joseph & Loeb for January Silk Saes-and for silks at prices that other stores cannot or will not duplicate.

SOLDIERS. LETTERS

Extracts from letter from
George Phillips Of Glover, . Red
Cross worker in France, who is work.
ing in hospital which is just finish
ed and writes he will probably not be
home until next September:
Foug, France.
Nov. II, 1918.
We had our first operation today
and were just putting the patient
back into bed when the whistles be-
gan to blow telling us that the armis-
tice was signed. DR.. and / wanted
to drop our load, and jump up and
down and yell, but we could not. Peo-
pie began to hang out flags and near
ly all the women in town were rum
ming up and down the streets, laugh
ing and crying. Flags were hung
out that had been stored away since
dropped their tools and ran with the
owners, cheering them. We hung
out our flags and Mrs. Hayes told the
cook to make whatever she liked for
supper and never mind the expense.
AS the result we had a wonderful
angel cake besides lots of other
good things. put some decorative
paper on the windows of the hospital
and in the evening, when ! went for
the milk, / met all Foug. out with a
band, having great parade.
Nov. 3.
sDr. had to go to Neufchateau for
some surgical supplies and we decid-
ed to 90 with him. We arrived at
Domremy, the birthplace of Joan of
Arc. The village is one Of the small
est, and certainly the dirtiest / have
seen in France. At the lower end Of
the street is the old church which
Joan attended, with relics of the al
tars and holy water fonts then used.
There is also an altar for her at the
left of the door and scenes from her
life along the sides. Beyond the
church was her home, a rather .smaii,
house, with almost no
windows at all. In the upstairs sec
ton there is museum of relics. Go
ing to Neufchateau we ordered our
supplies and had dinner. We left
there about three and went on to
Basiluue, which we missed in the
morning. 1t is beautiful memorial
church dedicated to Joan. She COM
manded Charles Sixth that France
should erect cathedral in her hon
or, but the request was not carried
out until 1886. The building. was
erected on the spot where the visions
were supposed TO nave come 10 Her'
It was certainly the ideal place for
the building. The ground forms a
little level on the side of steep hill.
Behind it an ever green slope per
fectly sets off the white marble OF the
structure while in front it drops
suddenly to a plane about mile
across and about three miles long.
There are two walks on each side,
one a little above the other and a
beautiful spire on a white centraI
base. Inside this are two chapels,
one above the other. The upper one
has a set of six paintings represent
ing scenes from the life of Joan. The
first shows her receiving the visions,
the second, her arrival at the French
court. The third, the people in the
town kissing her garments as she
passes. The fourth her charge
against the English at Orleans. The
fifth, the browning of Charles at
Reims. The sixth, her death at the.
stake. Passing back to her home,
which we visited in the morning, we
found that about 500 people signed
the visitors book that day, mostly
Americans. reached home in time

COTTONSEED FEED

Analysis
Protein 20 per cent
Fat a per cent
Fibre rs per cent
The cottonseed meal he bought
short time before analysed as follows
Protein SO per cent
Fat 5.5 per cent
Fibre IA per cent
In other words the cottonseed feed
cost him from SIS to 81 per ton less
than the meal and was worth about
one-half as much. Cottonseed feed
is made by grinding together hulls,
and meal, half and half. Hence, the
feed is not nearly as digestible as the
meal to say nothing Of being of an
inferior analysis.
Price and quality go together-a
cheap price usually. means cheap
quality. When buying feed, buy by
the analysis on the bag. YOU can't
afford to do otherwise.

Home Run Baker Drives Out
Circuit Clout in Last Game
of His Career
By Charles A. Taylor

IT is FINISHED. And what wild
mob was on hand! 1T refers to the
close of the regular baseball season at
the Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon.
The Red Sox, champions of the Amer
can League, and the New York Yankees
entertained the fifteen thousand fans
who gathered under the shadows of
Coogan's Cliff to say goodby to base
ball as far as New York is personally
concerned until the BIG SERIES cover
there" is decided.
The Red Sox were anxious to catch
the train that will take them to Chicago
for the title clash with the Cubs, and
the Yankees we're anxious to catch
strangle hold on fourth place. Both
succeeded. And as for the fans, they
had their bowl Of jeers and cheers
filled several inches over the brim. for
Babe Ruth, the slugger, famed in the
pinch and Home Run Baker ended his
career on the diamond with one of his
famous circuit clouts.
Tomatoes not baseballs will occupy
the attention of Baker from now on,
but Ruth has a fine chance to redeem
himself before the week end. Lots Of
folks are figuring on this Babe to win
the baseball classic by his batting
prowess.
Band at "FuneraP
There was band at the funeral"
but it did not appear until the end OF
the sixth inning, when Harry Sparrow

dealt the first and most timely blow
against the hungry Huns. One wouldn't
believe that baseball fan, accustomed
to 1.-THE StarSpangled Banner" and
THE Marseillaise," would recognize
such an oddly as the Belgian national
hymn. But Mr.. Fan did, and he proved
that he knew what he was cheering
about.
As for the games, the Red Sox won
the first by score of 3 to 2 and the
Yanks took the second by tally of
4 to3.
Sam Jones, one of the surprises of
the season in the pitching line, did the

Happy memories Of the good old

vide of the court twice. Once he Melted
the ball and the fourth point was Kun
agae on perfect placement ace into
the corner, as he came racing in to take
the ball on the full volley.
The next four games went to Tilden,
VINO was mixing up his pace in way
that completely baff1ed the little man
from the Far East. But the most nota-
BILE feature throughout the match was
the dazzling speed with which the
American was hitting the ball Kuma-
gaze has always been noted for the speed
with which he covers his court, but yes
terday he seemed running on leaden
feet, and many times was not within
several feet of the ball as Tlden
crashed his returns back.
The Japanese won the seventh game,
again as the result Of Tilden's reckless
speed of stroke, but the American won
the second set at Go in impressive
manner shooting over two wonde rful
The ball came at Kumagac with such
terrific speed and lofty bound that he
shook his head in wonderment as he
valny attempted to make the return.
The final set saw Tilden reaching
new heights of dazzling play Making
remarkably few mistakes, considering
the matchless speed with which he was
playing, he swept straight through to
victory, taking the six games without a
moments halt in the mad pace with
which he was crushing his little oppo-
nent.
Several times Tlden raced wide of
his court after Kumagae's well-placed
shots and earned the points by marvel
lous gets" and Kumagae seemed dis
couragad at the hopelessness of his
task. The final point of the match
came when the Japanese, trying to han
die Tilden's vicious service, sent his
return out of court.
Opinion is about evenly divided as
to who will win the national champion
ship this afternoon. If Tilden is 60
ing at. full speed and does not make
the mistake of letting down" in his
game. he ought to take the measure of
the Californian, but any lessening in
his efforts against an opponent of Muir
rays terrific rushing attack must spell
disaster for the Philadelphia. He can
not afford to take liberties with the
famous Meteor" this afternoon.
Whatever the result to- day, the spec
tators will undoubtedly see a struggle
worthy to be called "a classic of the
co"rts" when East meets West.
