Announcement
MIR. Allison, of the Allison Furni-
ture Co., Discusses Furniture
Situation, and Offers Solution
Of This Problem.

To Our Customers and Prosperity,
Furniture Buyers:
Just a few facts as we see them
as regards prices, etc. Furniture
factory prices are high, and we do
not see any immediate indications
of reductions. In fact, we look
for still higher prices for the fact
that lumber is high, and skilled la
boz ia high
While this is true, our firm has
been buying ahead, anticipating
the advance, and we have goods
coming in on contract orders plac-
ed over a year ago. The result is
we are selling furniture today un-
der today's factory prices and
making the usual percentage of
profit. We have not followed the
market by marking our goods
up. Therefore, furniture is not
high at oIr store, as. a great many
might naturally conclude under
present conditions.
Notwithstanding these facts, on
account of the High Price Idea
prevailing, our stock has been ac-
cumulating in some departments
until we find our store full, with
no room for shipments arriving.
Hence we have decided to re-
duce our prices in certain lines
where we have surplus stock, and
as we realize this is right in the
dull season, we have decided in
order to give every one the benefit
of our special prices to arrange the
terms as follows:
On purchases of less than $100,
one-third cash, trade acceptances
for one, two, three and four
months for the balance. On pur-
chasessof 500 or more, 25 per
cent cash, and trade acceptances
for one, two, three and four
months on the balance.
For special prices, see our ad
vertisement on page of the first
section of this paper

Little Real Relief in
Reign of High Prices

WASHINGTON, May 31-Despite
recent reductions in prices, little re-
lief from the general reign of high
prices is seen by the Federal Reserve
Board, in its analysis of May busi-
ness conditions, jut made public.
The board expressed the view that
there has been no change in the un-
derlying conditions responsible for
the high cost of living.
Asserting that while 'stOre sales
and tendency to lower prices bears
witness to the presence of disturbing
factors which suggest the advent of
wide alteration in price levels, the
board declares it cannot accept the
situation as a whole for its face value.
The explanation is added that there
has been only a slight increase in
production and that there is no great
er disposition on the part of the gen
eral public to economize and invest,
than had ruled heretofore.
"The changes that have taken
place, therefore" the boards state
ment said, cannot be looked upon as
indicating a modification of underly-
ing conditions. They may, however,
afford a basis for changes in business
relationships that may broaden into
more far reaching alteration of the
essential price structure.

story on Governor Cox's address
at Columbus, Ohio, Tuesday and
it will have to be admitted that
he does that very thing. He
shows up Mr.. Harding's record
for non-accomplishment and e
yaSion in the United States Sen
ate; emphasizes the fact that
Harding has taken no definite
stand on any vital issue except
to declare for a protective tariff
to increase the profits of the
down-trodden manufacturers,
and makes it uncomfortable and
embarrassing for him all along
the line. Yes, it's a fact, Cox is
sure picking on Warren G..
Harding and probably will con-
tinue to do so until along in No
vember in spite of the fact that
Pa Penrose is keeping Warren

MONSTER PIKE A PIRATE"
English Villagers Toasted on Fish
Which Had Been Cutting Anglers
Lines for Years.

A pirate was caught and killed re-
Gently in the little old English village
of Beeston st. Lawrence, Norfokshire,
and his remains were cut up and
shared between the old age pensioners,
who voted him very tasty an exchange
reports. The good people of Beeston
st. Lawrence are not cannibals, and
for the benefit of those not acquainted
with the legendary lore of that part
OF England it must be explained that
this pirate was a monster pike which
tcrrorized the waters of the lake in
Beestone for upward of thirty years.
The pike, which had the reputation
Of being the most artful fish in the
world, earned the name of "the pirate"
because of his predatory raids on fish,
ermen's lines whenever they hooked
anything. Anglers came from miles
around to try and catch the freebooter,
but the fish was too clever for the
most expert piscator.
According to stories told over mugs
of ale at the village inn the pirate"
was hooked only once, and in a vicious
rage he broke the line and escaped.
Yet the honor of catching him goes to
q young ex-sOldier who had been pike
hshing only four times in his life.
The night of the capture they held
guessing contest in the village as
70 the actual weight of the pirate"
the prize being the fish itself. He
weighed 20 pounds / ounce. measured
i've feet and had a girth of two feet.

and fifth grade room has twenty
five boys and but ten girls. The
other grades are pretty we'll
| balanced as regards sex.
One noticeable feature, says the
superintendent, is the thoroughly
clean appearance of all school
rooms and equipment, especially
the floors in their new coats of
fresh oil.
The work in all departments is
reported we'll started and being
carried out according to the pre-
scribed course of study. The daily
schedule in the high school was a
hard problem for the instructors,
in order to accommodate a few,
irregular or special students, but
1t was finally arranged for the best
interests of all. A large number of
new additional books had to be
ordered in the grades to care for
the increase in attendance. Man
ual training and home economics
will be offered the boys and girls
OF the 9Th grade and, possibly, the
9TH if satisfactory period can be
found.
The daily schedule in the high
school provides for all the regular
subjects and a number of electives.
Physical training, both for boys
and girls, will be offered the last
period of the day for practical
health exercises, and basket ball
and other games after. school
hours.
This space has been offered by
the publishers for school notes of
general interest to the public and
an editor for this work will be ap
pointed from each department,
who will have charge of this work
each week.
