ROUSING RECEPTION
Monster Celebration and a
Big Dinner in Honor of
Returned Heroes

Thursday, May Is. 1919, is g
day to be forever remembered in
the history of Mansfield.
Returned soldiers, sailors and
marines to the number of about
100 were given IL whole souled
reception by hundreds of people
from Mansfield and vicinity and
from towns ana cities far and
near, who gathered to do honor
to our boys of the supply com
pany of the 10th Infantry, who
returned home the previous day
after gallant service overseas 80
and also to those who had pre-
viously returned.
The Gem City of the Ozarks
was elabOrately decorated with
flags and bunting-atches and
Welcome" signs adorned the
public square and a record
breaking dinner was served in
which everybody was invited to
participate. Mansfield does not
believe in doing things by halves.
A mammoth table was erected
in the park-our boys were given
the place of honor and everybody
was served with all the good
things to eat that they could eat.
1t was the community's treat
and all were welcome. 1t is sell
dom city spreads such u feast
and to such crowd and our
visitors were profuse in their
praise of those in charge and to
all who contributed and provided
the "'eats.'
While our returned heroes
were welcomed the dead were
not forgotten, six gold stars be.
ing suspended from the main
arch in memory of those who
made the supreme sacrifice.
The parade of the boys in uni.
form, the girls representing Red
Cross nurses, and the school
children, led by the Mansfield
and Seymour bands, was much
enjoyed.
The bands discoursed music
at intervals during the day. and
the singing added to the day S
good features.
The occasion also proved IA hap
py reunion time and greetings,
hand shakes and a general good
time was the order of the day.
j Lon Dennis delivered the
welcome address. and speeches
were made by A. M. Haswell and
Rev.J .E Nevis of Ava, represen-
tative in the state legislature
from Douglas county. The talks
were full of good thought and
patriotism and were heartily ap.
plauded.
Mr.. Dennis said:

ors. To every soldier or sailol
boy here today, it matters no
where you are from or to wha
division or branch of service yol
belonged, we extend to you {
hearty welcome and shall try tt
express to you our gratitude
respect and honor.
While we all know that those
who have seen service ovarsea.
suffered greater hardships anG
faced greater dangers, yet those
boys who were called only to the
training camps and were await
ing the word to go, when the ar
mistice was signed. did all that
was asked of them and they, too
are entitled to the gratitude and
honor which we shall try to ex
press today by words and &C
tions to all those who fought our
battles and won our victories in
the greatest war of all the ages.
The American boys have won
glory enough in this war for all,
and let's not do anything that
might cause envy or ill feeling
between the different divisions
or branches of service. All have
exemplitied those traits of cOur.

have ever been characteristic Of
the American soldier.

talk | told them it was impossi.

felt at that time. And it's just
the same today. Words cannot
express what we feel, but l am
glad to say that our emotions to-

bade you goodbye with sad and
aching hearts, today we welcome

sorrow, but today we are shed,

This little button that wear

TEXTILES-Prices for Gray
Goods ShotU Steadier Tendency

Continued liberal offerings by specu-
lators of coarse gray fabrics and light
sales of sheetings featured the activity
yesterday of the cotton goods market.
Bag manufacturers placed some orders
for near future delivery of sheetings
with some of the mills. and jobbers
purchased small stocks of bleached
sheetings.
There is apparent in most quarters
feeling that quotations on gray goods
in second hands have about reached
the low level despite the lack of buy
ing. Owners of these goods yesterday
offered 64-6Os for 151s cents, but in
most cases bids were one-half cent
lower. Sales reported were largely
at 15A cents yard, while 6S-72s
were quoted at 19 cents yard. Brokers
feel that there will be a revival of
buying soon, arguing that present quo
tations are favorable and about as low
as will be named.

prices will be made for the week, but
report that qualities which retail from
20 cents to 81 yard will be offered

Ways Being Sought
To Cheaper Clothing
Siills to Use Lower Grades of
Wool and Manufacturers
Substitute Fabrics

Two methods, designed to provide
clothing at something like the old time
prices for men and women, who find
the present values rapidly rising be-
yond their reach have come up for dis
cussion in the trade.
Several woollen mills are contemplat
ing the use of lower grade wools in
the production of their fabrics. it is
said. Already reports from the raw
wool markets indicate keener interest
on the lower grade fbres than has been
the case for several months past.
Believing that fine woollens and
wonsteds to go into spring and summer
clothing will be too high priced and too
scarce to satisfy the bulk of the con-
suming public, one Of the leading man
ufacturers here is planning to put out
an extensive line of mems suits made
Of Palm Beach cloth, crashes and SINH
lar fabrics which are considerable
lower in price.
Heretofore these fabrces have been
tailored for the ready -to-wear trade,
with less care than more expensive
fabrics. This manufactured believes
that by expending the same tailoring
care on cheaper fabrics that he has on
the high grade materials he can pro-
duce good looking, fashionable and
serviceable summer suit, which can be
ofered to the ultimate consumer at less
than half the cost of the summer suit
made of woollen or worsted materials.
A large manufacturer Of dresses is
experimenting with substitutes for the
high class woolens and worsteds he
formerly used and hopes to find some
thing to replace them at considerably
less cost for the coming spring season.

LEATHER-Prices on
Ladies' Footwear Raised

New price lists sent to jobbers by
shoe manufacturers this week show
that ladies shoes now selling to the
retail trade for $4.S5 pair will cost
S615 to replace. Ladies' pumps that
are now selling to the retailers for
$575 will cost $685. at the new prices.
Jobbers declared yesterday that the
public has not as yet begun to realize
the prices that will prevail for shoes
three or four months hence. They
asserted that every kind of shoe will
advance at least SO to 81 a pair, while
hlgh-grade, stylish footwear will be
boosted even higher. Ladies' shoes.
especially pumps and oxfords, will ad-
vance most, it was asserted, because of
style and more finished Workmanship.
Jobbers declare they are not prof
teering. They say that the. prices thew
ask Tor shoes to-day are far below
their replacement value. The demand
is abnormally large and stocks are
low. One firm which has been in bust
ness forty years has less stock on
hand at present than any time in lis
history. 40
The shoe jobbcrs have been DOING
an exceptionally heavy business this
season because many retailers who
were accustomed to buy direct from
the manufacturer. have found that
shoes can be purchased from jobbers
at better prices than from the makers

Mid-Winter Millinery
Season Decided On
Retailers and Wholesalers Co.
operate in Effort to Slim
ulate Business

Spurred on by the success of the
mld-summer millinery opening held
IN wholesale circles in this and other
cities early in the summer, group of
twenty leaders in the trade voted yes
terday to stage a mid winter opening
along similar lines. The midsummer
opening, it is said, really injected an
other millinery season in the calendar
and stimulated business for the retail
ers as we'll as the wholesalers. Much
of the success of the venture was due
to the cooperation between retailers
and wholesalers, and an effort will be
made to continue this working together
of the two branches of the trade.
At the meeting yesterday, held in
the Hotel Pennsylvania, it was voted
to place the preparation of plans for
the mld-winter opening in the hands
of the same committee that handled
the midsummer opening The com
m'ttee consists of b. J. Garfunkel, of
the Vogue Hat Company, chairman;
Frederick Bode, Of Gage Brothers &
Co, vice-chairman; NJ C. Hewlett. of
Hewlett Robbins, treasurer, and +. V.
NJ. Goldberg. manager of the Retail
Millinery Association of America, sec
