A Little Sale of
Silk Umbrellas
at $3.50

Little, but mighty interesting,
is this sale of women's all silk
umbrellas coming at this time.
The colors are pleasing
Green Black
Two Shades of Blue
Changeable Blues and Greens
The plain or carved short han
dies are finished with convenient
silk loops to match the silk of the
umbrellas.
These have slight imperfections
that will in no way affect their
wearing qualities; if the umbrel-
las were perfect, they would cost
you more than double this price Of
$3.50.

RUMORS ARE
NOT CREDITED.

Washington, Oct. 17.-Rumors
sent out from Amsterdam Wednes-
day evening that the kaiser had alb
dicated and that germany is about
to capitulate are not credited by the
administration which has sent out
a warning to the American people
not to believe wild reports from Eu-
rope. Evidently there is much ex-
citement in Berlin but our govern
ment does not credit the rumors of
speedy surrender. No reply has yet
been received from Germany to VIII
sons last note. There is in Wash
ington no official word that the
kaiser has abdicated, or that he has
been overthrown, or that Germany
is ready to accept all of President
Wilson'S terms

OUR SOLDIER BOY

Ihave before me as | write a
photo. From the print young
mans face looks forth. 1t is
pleasant face to see. The head
erect. the curling hair. the lofty
forehead, the steadfast eye. the
regular nose, the lips firm shut
but smiling.
As ! look think | see the
dawning man within. | see a.
wakened comprehension that the
dreamy boyhood days are past
and that the serious business of
life is at hand. see resolution
there to do his best and to do it
every day and all the time, no
matter how new or strange the
situation nor how mean or hard
the task may be.
/ see a quick intelligence to
Grasp the salient points Of any
situation and make the quick and
right decision which brings suc-
cess.
/ see courage in those eyes.
Not the boastful courage Of the
lime light, but quiet resolution
which gives faith that in the
hour Of trial, yes, even in some
crux Of hell when the fate Of bat
tie may hang in the balance. that
courage will not falter nor will
the trust Of men upon him be be-
ltrayed.
l see the resolute face but with
eyes and lips half smiling and !
know he has in his heart the
memories Of home, his fathers
teachings, his mothers prayers,
the kindly instincts of brother
hood learned il boyhood days Of
peace which he will not forget,
and though he strike to kill it
will not be in brutal lust for
blood but as the ereat aveneinE
arm Of justice strikes and then
foreives.
! see he wears the uniform Of
Uncle Sam, and by that sign |
know the boy has answered his
country's call and has become
one Of the millions which Amer
ica gladly offers to the cause Of
right and to whom the old war
torn world is looking for her de:
liverance. But more than that
to me, know he is OUR soldier
boy. Elk.
