The Committee in charge of the
Style Week arrangements felt that in
as much as most of them would be
contestants for the prizes, awarded to
the best decorated windows, 1t would
be unwise for them to select the
judges for the occasion, and they
elected Secretary Dodds to this task.
Mr.. Dodds appointed the following
ladies as judges: Mrs. Reese Kirk,
Chairman; Miss Lucy Baldwin, Mrs,
A. o. Taylor, Mrs. w. B. Baldwin and
Miss Minerva Stockton.
There will be blue ribbon award
ed for the first prize and red one for
the second. The judging will be
graded accordingly; attractiveness so

The committee has made the follow

WATCH FOR THE
Big SEARCH LIGHT
ON STREET TONIGHT
MaysvilIe's Second Annual Style
Week Is Opened in Full Blast In
Business Section Tonight.

During the past few weeks the at
tention of our people has been attract
ed to the Buy at Home movement, a
movement for which the Chamber OF
Commerce has always been an ardent
advocate. The attention given the sub
ject by citizens generally since the
first of the year has served to en-
phasize the fact that the man or wo-
man who goes out of the home town
to make purchases is not only in
juring his or her city but also is los
ing money.
Right here in Maysville we have as
good stores as can be found in any
carry as complete stocks as could be
wished. Better still, their prices are
we'll under the prices eXacted in
stores in larger cities, that by clever
advertising have created an impress
sion that they sell goods at bargain
prices.
Maysvillians who have been hood
winked by the promise of bargains in
other cities have come out with the
statements telling how they paid
much higher prices in stores in other
cities for articles that are on sale
here. These instances have been so
numerous that they prove the fact
that here at home one can buy, article
for article at cheaper price than in
the stores to which some of our peo-
pie have gone because they believe
styles were newer or prices lower.
We demand that our merchants car
ry complete stocks and complete
stocks mean bigger stores and more
progressive city. The more business
us for the greater the business vol
umn the lower the price. More bust
ness means more work for our peo-
pie more money for our banks and
more taxes for the city, more civic
pride. 1t will be seen then, that the
man or woman who goes elsewhere to
shop is lacking in city patriotism and
is actually hurting the city on which
he or she depends for a livelihood.
1t will be seen, too, that the person
who through lack of city patriotism
goes elsewhere to shop, is not only
harming his or her home city but is

SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Feb. 13.-Moderate re-
ceipts of cattle at the local market in
a measure offset the bearish wires
from outside points and the outlet
for killing grades was reported as
close to steady, while a ready sale
was obtainable for everything in the
stocker and feeder line at firm fig
ures. The III was estimated at
1900, which makes the two days
supply 4,70S, against $40 the same
period last week and 1851 the cor
responding time a year ago.
While there was not a great deal
of life to the demand prices, when
the market was established, did not
differ materially from that of Mon
day. Eastern news showed heavy
supplies and a sharply lower price
trend, but as the local supply of
both steers and butcher stock vas on
the moderate order and with some
inquiry from outside order buyers
sellers were able to force a steady
market. The warm turn to the
weather made fills liberal and while
some sellers claimed losses the pack
ers said that this was offset by the
big supply of water that the offerings
carried. Bulls, stays and veals were
in moderate numbers and found q
ready release at steady figures.

the Red Cross is accomplishing this

"The impression some have that
more supplies are being produced In

be quickly dissipated," he declared
"ff every one could see as / did, the
record of surgical dressings supplied
