Getting Most for Your Money

NAOlhCy
 It is we'll to make it very clear that getting most for your money does not mean that you secure the most merchandise for the sum you want to spend, but rather in securing the BEST merchandise for a stipulated amount. If you have set aside, say a price of $500 for a certain item and can afford to pay no more than that, then it is your duty to learn where you can secure the very best merchandise at that price. And. this.- means that the article must be of good materials and if it is something that has been made up, the workman ship be such as to assure complete satisfaction and full service.
 So while the price of an article is very important you must also consider very carefully and very seriously what you get for that price. As we men, toned before, we court the fullest investigation of our prices and qualities.

The Argus: This afternoon, in this
city, was held the funeral Of one of
the most lovable and remarkable pion
GERS of Rock Island county, Mrs. Sarah
Buffum.
She was woman who, for the last
so years of the last century, was loved.
revered and welcomed in every home
where she was known, and was well
known in every home south and west
of Rock river in this county.
She brought cheer, comfort and joy
wherever she went; she was prompt
and foremost at all occasions, in the
lower end of the county, where love,
sympathy and coincidence were needed;
she was the head and front of all char
table and benevolent movements. She
took a prominent part in all social af-
fairs and was an upbuilder and

ENOUGH COAL TO
LAST DAY TO DAY
Rock Island Is Just on the Edge in
Fuel Crisis, H. A. Clevenstine
Announces,
DEALERS OBTAIN NO SURPLUS
Without Mild Weather City Would Be
Compelled to Face Certain
Limitations on Sales,

Rock Island has just enough coal
from day to day to meet its require
mentS.
This statement was made today by
H. A. Clevenstine, chairman of tao
Rock Island county fuel board, in re-
spouse to question asked concerning
whether or not the local dealers nave
thus far been able to obtain a surplus
Of fuel.
Although the backbone of the win
ter is broken, and summer birds have
already presented their appearance,
there is nothing to indicate that there
will be no more cold weather. Deal
ers have been endeavoring to secure
a supply of coal which will guard
against a scarcity should another Pc
Rod of low temperatures come. How
ever, the coal is being purchased as
rapidly as it arrives and there is little
on hand in the yards of the various
dealers.
Weather Big Factor.
THE mild weather we are having is
the biggest factor in carrying us over
the fuel crisis" Mr.. Clevenstine said
today. Even though the temperature
has been comparatively mild for Feb
ruary, the city is just getting by. We
are on the edge, so to speak. Coal IS
being distributed in the city as rap
idly as 1t arrives in the railroad cars.
If serious coal spell would come we
would have to place certain limita-
tons on sales as We did before. None
of the dealers has been able, as yet
to obtain surplus which all are
striving for in order to protect con-
sumers should lengthy period of Sc
we're weather come"

Especial to The Argus

Camp Dodge. Iowa, Feb. 1S.-A trim
little woman. with smooth-combed
gray hair and with glstening specta-
rles covering her kind brown eyes,
cat in the corner of the hostess house
at Camp Dodge.
In her hands she held bit of knit
tjng--a sock. partly completed. Often
she would glance up from her work
10 look out OF the window over the
great panorama which stretches for
miles at the cantonment. And at the
sight of those drilling soldiers, and
as her eyes took in the details of
those rough implanted buildings, her
eyes would brighten. For those SOL
diers are training to help the friends
and relatives of this little sweet-faceG
woman.
Saw Boys March Away.
She's real Englishwoman. is Mrs.
Ellen Maude, in charge Of the house
keeping at the hostess house In her
mind is a very vivid conception of
this world war, for she has watched
Brtannias youth march away, that
Britannia should not be subjugated by
a nation whose watchword is Fright
fitness" She saw bright-eyed young
farmer boys, living about the little
town of Bolton. Lancashire. leave
their plows to fight for Johnny Bull.
and she saw her two handsome
nephews, stalwart young fellows,
leave for the front. One Of them is
back home again. his health broken,
while The other still remains with the
English troops, ready to lay down his
life for the allies principles.
Sees Boys Return.
OF course Mrs Maude has seen nc
real fighting, but she has been at the
railroad stations when trainloads OF
wounded were brought from the front
She can't forget the sight of those
manned, pitiful objects-the remnants
OF clear-skinned, energetic men. That
was all two years ago.
Her own boy will be over there
helping his cousin before long. He's
stationed at Fl. Riley, Kan, now
waiting orders to get into the fight
with the boches. And while he waits
his mother knits soX for him and
writes cheering letters to him. For
she's not the sort of a woman who la
ments the fact that her only boy has
left her for Uncle Sans service.
Her Message.
She has a message for American
women Send your boys away with

ing you in sorrow. Smile when they

war she was foremost in all that ap-
pertained to the good and welfare of
our soldiers.
AS young lady she was not only
beautiful and pure, but the life of all
gatherings; as a wife, wise and affec-

and loyal to her home and her house.
She will be remembered with love
and esteem by all the pioneers and

survive her.

When many Camp Dodge soldiers go
to town, conveyances are so crowded
that the national army men often have
to wait for an hour or two before
they can begin their trip. Civilians
and others with big touring cars who
give the men "a lift" are gratefully
remembered for days.

talking about insurance.
