TNURN on the day.
4 light, Mr.. Sum-
we're ready
Ready with the best
furniture, the largest
collection of furniture,
the most reasonably
priced furniture, for the
biggest Sale in America.
Ready for the mighty
foregathering of the
clans-the clans of the
Home-Makers-the pith
and marrow of the
American nation.
TODAY is our first
Il Inspection Day. The
grand preliminary re-
view by the public of a
dress parade of $4,000
samples, covering six
acres of space, of the
wonderful furniture at
wonderfully low prices
with which we've been
busily and quietly stock
ing our warehouses for
months in preparation
for this Sale.
Some call these ad-
vance days of inspection
Courtesy Days, because,
to save time and trouble
for those who can only
make one visit to the
Sale, and who wish both
to see the display in its
complete and untouched
beauty and to make pur-
chases, we will take
orders on January 10Th,
Both and 31st.
Deliveries will date
from February first.
The clans will be here.
Some of them made
their plans a full month
ago. Some of them
started for the Sale days
ago-had to- they lived
so far.
But they had homes
to furnish, and they
could take no chances.

ALLIES DO NOT INTEND
TO ABOLISH BLOCKADE
Ii Is Their Chief Weapon For In
suring Signature of
just Peace.

London, Dec. 2.-The Times SAYS
are reported to have spread semi
officially that the entente probably
will consider the abolition of the
blockade is absolutely unfounded
The allies have not the slightest in
tention, the Times continues. of
throwing aside their chief weapon
for inSuring the signature OF a just
peace and the performance Of its
conditions. particularly in the pres
Cnt chaotic state of Germany
After quoting evidence in an en-
dCavOr to refute DR.. SOlf's declara-
tiOn that Germany is starving the
ments on this subject require care
full examination. When the truth
has been ascertained. the allies and
the United States will allow the Ger
peace negotiations such food sup
plies that humanity dictates, but the
blockade must remain in force until
a definite peace has been ratified.
Concerning the German attempts
to draw a distinction between the al
lies and the United states, the Times
speaks of the futility OF these efforts.
With regard to President Wilson's
coming visit to Europe. the Times
says the allies look upon this un-'
precedented event as a great land
mark in the worlds history. They
rejoice that the President is to make
the visit. first. because they desire
to show the United States by the re-
ccption they give the chief executives
their sense of the immense debt they
owe for America s assistance, and |
second. because they are anxious tol
have the personal aid Of President
Wilson in the task before them.

 FATAL CYCLE ACCIDENT.
Takes Testimony of Two Men Who
 Were on the Motor Trucks.

Coroner Franklin H, Brown began on Monday morning at his office in this city an investigation of the mo- torcycle accident at Taftville on Sun day in which William N. Hicks of that village lost his life He had not con- cluded it on Monday, as one of the witnesses whom he will call, Louis Gregory, driver of the motorcycle, is still in the hospital.
 The coroner examined Harris L. Haymon of Groten, who was driving the motor truck against whose forward wheel the Gregory motorcycle hit and overturned resulting in the death of Mir. Hicks, who was riding in the cycle, which had a sideear attach .ment. Driver Haynon's testimony was to the effect that there was. no other vehicle coming from the oppo- site direction as the Gregory motor cycle was passing the truck from the rear and that he was well to the right hand side of the road, so that the motorcycle did not need to turn. in sharp ahead of his truck, as appar- ently it did. The testimony was that the cycle was making as much as 40
 miles an hour at the time
 Carl Bariss, who was riding on the motor truck that the one driven by
 Haymon was towing, corroborated the testimony of Haymon It was the side car attachment that hit the wheel o1 the motor truck.
 As soon as Gregory, the driver oi the cycle, is able to leave the hospital | the coroner will take his testimony | and issue a finding.
