Biggest SaleDay of the Year
is Scheduled For Next
Wednesday, May II
MERCHANTS ENTHUSE
Shoppers Will Find Bigger and Bet
ter Bargains Than Have Ever Be-
fore Been Offered

The greatest bargain feast of the
wear, Dollar Day, is slated to put in its
second appearance of 1920 next We'd
nesday. when the many stores of the
city will make special efforts to en-
tertain the Dollar Shoppers and big
ger and better sale than was ever held
before in Alexandria is promised.
Realizing the value Of these Dollar
Sales, the merchants Of the city, at
the last regular meeting of the Re-
tail Merchants Bureau of the AleNan-
dria Chamber cf Commerce voted in
favor of four such sales every year.
The second Wednesday in May, or
May II was decided upon and next
Wednesday is the day.
Dollar Day SaAes were inaugurated
last August and CELEBRITY with which
the shopping public Of Alexandria en-
tered into the spirit of the occasion
surprised even the most skeptical Of
local merchants. The second sale was
held in February, 1920, and the sue
cess was even greater than eSperienc-
ed the six months previous.
Four Dollar Day sales are slated to
be held this year, February, May, Au-
gust and November and prospects are
that each sale will show greater per-
centaee of business done than prcvi-
Gus sales.
The Dollar Bargain is hard to find
at the present market prices of mer-
chandise. but every merchant of the
city is endeavoring to find at least a
few such bargains for this big day.
Don't forget the date, Wednesday,
May ~ and be on hand bright and
early when the stores open for busi-
ness on that day.

MISKE BATTERED
Dempsey, However, Bears No
Mark of Labor Day Scrap.
Champ Gets $4,000 and De-
feated Man $4,000.

Benton Harbor. Sept. Jack
Dempsey, worlds heavyweight cham
pion received $4,000 for battering
Billy Aiiske. the St Paul challenger.
to defeat in the third round of their
scheduled ten round bout here yester-
day according to a statement of the
receipts given out today by Floyd
Fitzsimmons, promoter of the contest.
The total attendance of the labor
dav battle was 11.34S and the total
receipts were s134.904. including state
and war tax. According to the arti-
cIes of the agreement Dempsey was
guaranteed $4,000 with a privilege of
accepting fifty per cent of the receipts.
Miske fought on straight guarantee
of s25. 600.
After the knockout it was reported
that one of Miske's ribs had been
broken by the terrific punch he had
received in the second round, but the
challenger was examined by two
physicians after he reached his train
ing camp and they agreed there was
no farcture. The spot under AIiske' S
heart still was red and sore today
from the effects of the punch, which.
Afiske admitted. was the blow that
ribs are bruised and his jaw is very
sore but otherwise he is none the
worse from his experience.
Dempsey did not bear a mark of
the battle. After he had dinner with
Promoter Fitzsimmons, and a party of
friends last night, he spent the rest of
the evening dancing at a summer pa
vilion in St. Joseph. He planned to
leave for Chicago late this afternoon
and will imme diately go east in search
of new opponents to conquer Pro-
moter Fitzsimmons declared the con-
test was a success in every way.
The house was virtually sold Out"
he said. Il believe that the few va
cant seats that were in the one sec
ton We're sold in Chicago and that
the tickets were held by some of those
who were unable to arrive in time, due
to an accident on the railroad"
Miske was heart broken over his
defeat. He left the ring in tears as
! ne had hoped to stay the limit with
Dempsey, as he had done in their two
previous engagements. His father and
wife were ringside Spectators.
