We have never known a time
when merchants were confronted
with such difficult problems as the
ones which they are forced to solve
at this time. The fixing of proper
prices is one of the hardest of the
problems. Unless the merchant
keeps his eyes open he will be re-
failing articles for less than he can
replace the same thing at whole
sale. He either must increase his
prices in accordance with the ad-
vance in wholesale cost or ultimate
ly "go on the rocks" 1t is simply
up to the customers to be fair in
the matter and pay the prices that
the war has brought about.
We know that there is no better
place to buy goods than in Kend-
rick. Prices are as reasonable as
they are any place. The continued
prosperity of the town is a good in
dication of this fact. There may
be other places where at times a
cheaper price can be secured on a
piece of farm machinery or bill
of general merchandise, but this is
only an isolated case where the
dealer may have overstocked or
hasn't kept his goods marked up
with the increased wholesale cost.
This is particularly true of a piece
of farm machinery. We know of a
case in a nearby town where a bus
mess man found himself badly over
stocked on binders. He found that
he had more than he could possibly
sell this season, so began to cut
prices, figuring that it would be
better to sell them at a slight loss
than carry them over another year,
Your home merchant was doing
business in a more conservative
manner and was simply asking the
legitimate profit. Of course his
price was higher. If you went to
the other town and bought one of
these binders at the lower price you
saved a few dollars for the time be-
ing, but was it an actual saving in
the long run when you consider the
added value to your property of
having prosperous town as the
center of your community?

1t is just as we'll for US to face
the facts in the coming Liberty
Loan It's the largest yet attempted.
That the American people have the
spirit to put it across is a foregone
conclusion When the drive starts in
October it will be a time when ex-
cuses won't count. Every pre-
cinct will have a larger quota to raise
than ever before-but it is going to
be raised and plans for buying
should be laid accordingly.
Last night the executive board of
the Methodist church met to discuss
plans relative to rebuilding the
church. No definite plans had been
decided upon as to the exact loca-
tion, but the new building will be
more centrally located than the
old one and nearer the business dis
trict.

The allied victories in France
should not cause US to lose sight of
the fact that the war may continue
for long time yet, even though
present indications do not bear out
the statement. AS the American
army increases in size the expense
of maintaining the army will in
crease in proportion. The money
must be forthcoming and there will
be no delays. For this reason con-
tinued efforts and even redoubled
efforts must be put forth to assist
the government in raising these ire
mendous sums of money. Those
who content themselves with the
thought that they have given their
share might do well to take an in
ventory of their means and see if
with a little more economy they
could not purchase few more war
savings stamps or invest in Liberty
Bonds. when the new loan starts.
The government will need every
cent we can spare to carry on the
immense preparations that are be-
ing made. More rigid economy
and a more generous spirit will be
necessary in the future.

BUTTONS FROM NECK TO HEEL
Closing Gown Down Back an Idea Gre
ated by Designer Aided by
Smart Woman.

Primitive draping is in high fashion.
And right against it, sitting in the
same room with it and exploiting it.

says fashion correspondent, will be
gown that is fastened with bone
buttons from the nape of the neck to
the turn of the heel.
It is pure perverseness to employ
line of buttons down the back of
frock. The entire world of fashion
was stimulating itself to the utmost
to provide new ways with ancient
ideas. 1t was on the cards that we
would drape ourselves in different
ways. Then some designer, aided by
smart woman, made tight bodice to
frock, buttoned all the way down
the back, and added Japanese bow
at the waistline.
What was the result? Huge bows
and tight bodices, smoothly pulled
across the bust and sinking in over
the diaphragm, became an exalted
fashion.
Perhaps it was panic, and not per-
verseness that created this gown, It
takes skillful hand to wrap material
around the body in graceful manner,
and we have not the art of the primi-
tives. A modest woman has a right to
demand that this drapery be we'll put
together before she appears in it in
public, to dance, to dine or to walk.
The japanese woman can wind her
sarong about her hips, and other an
Gent races can tie invisible knots in
material to keep it modestly in place,
but we are used to hooks and eyes,
buckles and buttons, and we are bit
afraid to go abroad in something that
depends upon our skill in tying knots
to keep us from being naked and
ashamed.

 ITALIAN FRONT On the front in Italy the change in the high command evidently has not re- suited as yet in any betterment of the strategic positions of the Austro- Ger man armies. From the Asiago plateau eastward to the Piave river and thence southward to the Adriatic sea, the Ital- ians again have been victorious in num- Der of minor operations. raiding enemy positions and bringing back prisoners, machine guns and materials, or holding in their tracks Austro-German elements which were endeavoring to launch at- tacks.
 AUSTRIAN STRIKE ENDS The greater portion of the striking
 workmen in Austria are said to have returned to work. but the situation both in Austria and Hungary is declared to still be acute, owing to the desire of
 the people for peace. In Germany some |trepidation Is being evinced by news papers of pan-German leanings over the situation in Austria.
 The socialist newspaper Vorwaerts of Berlin has again been suppressed, this time for announcing the solidarity of the German proletariat with Austrian
 labor in the peace struggle British labor in conference again has

This Is unless he scared Hopkins and his co-laborers to death.
 Thurston now stands without an equal in the field of magic, for during the past 19 years he has made a deep study of weird things. mystic inventions and de- captive illusions and has become so ex- pert that at times an affinity with un- seen powers seems almost plausible.
 He even deals deftly in theosophic theories by thepr ojection of the astral body, the reincarnation of the spirit and the naturalization of the spirit from out of air.
