CHEAPER CLOTHES.

Out of the gloom of high prices voice of hope,
Delegates to the convention of the National Association
Of Retail Cothers in session at Chicago spread
ing the news broadcast that reduction in the price of
clothing will be realized in the future They de-
clare that before long will not be asked to part
with SIS $50 for business suit and that eventually
prices will be down to something the old levels.
Furthermore the dealers declare they will be glad of it,
for there will be increased volume of trade with CORE
spondngy increased profits at the lower prices.
Taors contend that the advance in prices is due solely
to the increased cost of materials and labor and that
they buy their goods cheaper they re-
duce prices to their customers which they are eager to
do, because will buy suits.
These may be strawS, but they bring indications of
favoring winds and stimulate the hope that there is
real movement toward lower prices in the necessares of
life. Food is the most important item in the cost of
living, and reductions there will be watched with the
keenest interest But if the cost of clothing and rents
be brought down to normal levels the result
will be beneficial to all and the wage workers dollar will
take additional purchasing power.
Every movement tending toward lower price levels will
be greeted with enthusiasm by the American public No
render better service to his fellows than
by aiding the movement

THINK BEFORE BACKING A FRIENDS NOTE.

Of course you want to grant any favor friend may
ask but don't be generous that you become involved
financially and work hardship on your own family.
The strongest ties of friendship do warrant any
thing of this sort
Don't sign your to paper which oblgates you in
such way that you might be financially ruined should
the plan of friend miscarry.
You have few dollars saved-your friend is aware
of that fact, and he to you with proposition
which he feels is perfectly safe money maker. Will
ling he is to give you the biggest end of the profits
if you will finance it, and granted your desire to favor
him. think twice before you cripple yourself to do it.
Confidence expressed by this friend is one of the
dangers in your ease for you ready let him think
for you and not weigh the matter carefully enough for
yourself.
You have moral right to jeOpardize your future hap
pness and your famys comfort for the best friend and
he should not expect it.

MOTORIZED FARMING
 ALWAYS DEPENDABLE

Modern, motorized equipment" says Bert Q. Brown, local dealere in Chev- rolet passenger cars and trucks. brings to the farmer the means to cultivate as many acres of his land as he desires With certainty as to results and at a lower cost.
 The capacity of a motor propelled machine is of a known quality. The amount or work it will accomplish in a certain period of time can be definitely determined. There is no guess work mere IS no physical clement to reckon with. So long as it is kept in good run nlng order, uniform results can be de- pended upon.
 As an example of motorized farm equipment, take the motor truck. It has proved of indispensable assistance on the farm. Thousands of them are now in use on farms in every section of the country.
 One motor truck on the farm re- places from two to four men. It also carries twice the load of a horse drawn wagon in half the time It furnishes dependable transportation to city mar kets which can be reached in half the time that the sam trip consumed with a horse. And for emergency errands, for conveying seeds, fertilizers, ma ] thlISIN pdl lS dliu OIIeT SuCn IdShS, the motor truck in these capacities alone has earned its first cost many l times over.
 "The passenger automobile is another l instance of motorized farm equipment l that has heightened the farmers day, | increased his capacity for work and opened the way to an era of better l living and bigger profits.
 Indeed. motor vehicles have assumed 1 such an allimportant place in farm life have proven of such invaluable as sistance in the conservation of time labor and money for every member of the family-that it is little wander their popularity and use is increasing in the rural districts. With the acquisition of such equipment the farmer has made rapid progress in placing his business on the same practical basis as that of the manufacturer or merchant"

A car of bananas is expected to ar rive on the local market Monday. Ba- nanas will continue to be received in car lots on this market until about June 1, after which the weather is too hot to permit of their being sent here in good condition. The extreme heat ripens the fruit on the inside before the greenness disappears from the skin. In fact the bananas never do ripen to a yellow color during hot weather, but usually turn black instead
 A car of netted gem potatoes, a car of oranges and a car of lemons are ex- pected to be received Monday morning.
 Apricots will appear on this market on or about May IS. The great bulk of apricots sold on the local market are of local culture, very little being i'm ported from other states.
