SOIpes the Butter
Problem

Iroco is not merely a butter
substitute; it is the successor to
butter. 1t tastes exactly like the
finest creamery butter and is as
digestible as butter, with the
same high nutritive value.
Troco solves the butter prob
lem for those who hitherto have
used nothing but the best cream
cry butter. These critical users
say that rarely is butter so
sweet and delicate in flavor.
But don't just ask for nut
butter or nut margarine" and
expect to enjoy this de luxe
flavor.
Ask for Troco and get the real
butter flavor.

This week $4,000 local employment
agencies are being set in motion by The
joint action of the Department Of Labor
and The Pos 'm8ster-Generai to deal with
the farm labor problem This immense
force Of employment agents has been
created by the simple device Of notify
ing all rural mail carriers and third and
fourth class p0stmasters that they are
hencef0rth farm labor agents as well as
postal employees. They are to act di-
reclly as local labor exchanges and in

ing on the new arrangement declares

mand for farm labor in the coming
weeks. and there is a large supply Of
labor on which 20 draw" The means Of
bringing demand and supply together
"are lacking until The former IS ascer-
tsined through the poslonlces"
As he goes his rounds every rural
carrier Is required to accept applica-
tions from farmers wanting men and
from men wanting work Thus, on his
route the carrier will act as a direct
labor exchange. He also brings his
applications to tho postonlce TO which
he Is tched. and The postmaster is re-
1ulrpd TO post a summary OF applca-
tions FOR jobs and Of jobs offered

sentative of the employment service

and buying, and so also
are the people who
bought in the February
Sale but who are find
ing new opportunities
here that did not exist
thenl
A S we have already
"A said, the Sale came
about spontaneously. 1t
was not gotten up"
Fully 100000 worth
of high-grade furniture,
bought specially for the
February Sale, came in
here after the Sale was
over.
We had originally Sc
cured it to sell at large
reductions from the
standard prices, so in
stead of putting it into
our regular stock, we
offered it in this special
Sale at the prices it
would have borne in
February - 1919 per
cent to so per cent
under value.
Along with this we
are offering a most un-
usual new purchase of
what is regarded as the
finest type Of furniture
made in America. This
furniture was originally
sent to a local decorat-
ing and furnishing
firm, but because of a
change in management
in this concern the
makers cancelled the
transaction and sold us
the furniture - worth
$4,000 at a special
price that makes it pos
sible for us to sell it at
40 to so per cent less
than the market values.
We believe it to be the
first time that such fur
niture has been offered
at such reductions. 1t
is the most exclusively
fine collection we have
ever presented in a spe-
cial sale. All who are
interested in the most
artistic and refined, and
at the same time the
most substantial con-
struction in cabinet
work, will be fascinated
by these goods.

FOR a handsome liv-
Il ing room t h a t
needs just one more
luxurious piece Of fine
furniture to give it a
feeling Of rich compile
tion, there is a beauti-
full Louis XIV settee, a
true representative of
courtly grandeur. 1t is
oval in shape, of ivory
enamel with continuous
rounded back and arms,
with medallions of dou-
BILE cane. The top of the
frame is decorated with
the acanthus leaf, while
on the lower edge are
elaborate carvings of
foliage entwined with
ribbon.
The elegance and clas-
sic art of the frame
work are we'll matched
by the luxuriousness of
the upholstered spring
seat and bed-of-down
boxed cushion, on whose
lap repose three pill
lows, filled with the fin
est fleecy down, cover
ed in satin of a mellow
rose-cOlor.
The size, shape, deco
ration and finish of this
settee make it useful as
a wall piece of furni-
ture, when it is not de-
siratl, to place it dag
Onally, or in the centre
OF the room to reveal
its beauty in its entire
ty. Price $3.50.

THOMAS Sheraton
L has been called the
master of cabinet-mak-
ing and inlay. He fol-
lowed straight classic
lines and used very
little carving, depend
ing largely upon inlay
for ornamentation.
One of the most
charming examples of
his exquisite taste and
alluring simplicity of
style, where the only
decoration is an inlay
On the base of each piece
of dark and light blocks
Of maple and walnut is
seen in a ten piece din
ing-room suit, of solid
quartered oak, finished
in nut brown shot with
French gray, giving a
delightful silver tone.
The table is oblong in shape,
AZ inches wide and sc inches
long, with a 10-fOOt, OF banquet
size, extension. Upon looking
at it closely one finds oneself
fascinated by the unusual fin
ish, in the form of the gray
tone emerging from the pores.
The buffet has cupbOards at
either end, one of which con-
tains a sliding silver-tray. In
the center there are three deep
sliding trays for linen.
This suit further deyiates
from the usual type in that the
serving-table is of the cabinet
style with double doors and
sliding drawers. And the china
closet is Of a double-cabinet ef.
feet, the upper portion with ad-
Unstable shelves for china and
crystal
The chairs have cane backs,
and slip seats covered with

this suit its finishing touch Of
artistic Individuality. Specially
priced, $500.
