HAVING the furniture that people want

what has made the Wanamaker Furniture
Sale thing unrivaled in the world Of retail

1t stands to reason that one could never
possibly build up furniture sale to the great
est in the world with any furniture but the
furniture that people want -.
For it is as true as anything can be that
the growth the magnitude of a sale depend
directly upon what the people think about it.
And what people think about sale
depends upon their own actual experience of
what it can do for them.
The Wanamaker Furniture Sale has
grown to be the greatest sale in the world
because the people have found it to be by far
the best sale from which to furnish or to

It is the best and most satisfactory sale
because no better furniture can go into any

It is the best and most satisfactory sale
because it provides choice Of the worlds
finest cabinet work such as no other two OF
perhaps three stores combined can equal.
It is the best and most satisfactory sale
because no other sale presents the same
advantages to home furnishers the same
unrestricted choice of uniformly likable and

And certainly no sale affords savings that

WHAT THE PRESS is SAYING
SOME CURRENT COMMENT ON TIMELY TOPICS

be borne have the satisfaction of
knowing that expert engineers have
inquired into all items of the con-
tracts-designs, materials and labor
and have approved them. They
know, moreover, that the work will
be done under the able supervision
of the State Highway Board. Thus
the taxpayers are assured of solid
return upon their investment, and the
travelling public of highway service
that will outlast a winters rain.
This is what organized, co-opera-
tive methods of rOadbuilding have
done for Georgia. In the days when
it was rule of every county for it
self and the mud-devil take the hind
most, one rarely could tell in adj
vance what the result of an expendi7'
ture for highways would be. Some
excellent roads, it is true, were built
at that time, but only in the richer
and more progressive districts; and
they as well as the poorer and slug
gish were sorely handicapped by
lack of comprehensive inter-county
highway systems. Not until the plans
and operations of the many score
communities were correlated into
something like harmonious whole;
not until purely local effort was sup
plemented by State aid and supervis-
ion, was it possible for the individ-
ual county, much less the Common
wealth, to get adequate results. The
present highway laws, enacted after
long effort and over mistaken opposl-
ton, have meant great deal to
Georgia's prosperity and advance
ment. But they are short of what
they should be- The principle of
State aid should be given more sub
stance, and the principle of State
supervision more thoroughness. We
are moving in the right direction, but
we need to move faster. Where hun
dreds of thousands are now spent for
roads, millions must be spent. Where
possibly good highways have salts
| fed us, only the best that money and
skin can produce will do for the
years ahead. This is the route of
economy, and this the route of pro-
gram.

THINGS WOMEN
WANT TO KNOW
q What are taxes?

Taxes are compulsory contribu-
tions from private incomes or wealth
to meet the general expenses of the
government. They are levied by
states and national government, as
direct and indirect taxes. Direct tax
es are those levied upon persons or
personal property; indirect, those
levied upon commodities or industrial
processes. Poll tax, general property
tax and income tax are direct taxes;
and custom duties and taxes upon
production or sale of commodities
are indirect.
Explain the difference between
federal and state taxes,
Federal taxes are chiefly customs
and internal revenue duties, income
and excess profit taxes; state taxes
are general property taxes, licenses,
bank taxes, inheritance taxes and in
some states income taxes.
How many kinds of primary cleo
tions are there, and when are they
held?
There are three kinds of primary
elections: official, which is held I'M
der the state law; unofficial, held I'M
der party auspices, to elect delegates
to nominating conventions; and a
presidential preference primary,
which is held to allow voters of a
state to indicate their preference of
possible presidential candidates.
Primaries are held throughout the
state, in cities, towns, and in the
country.
How does a presidential cleo
ton year affect the primary sched-
ule?
In states where the regular Off
cial primary is held later than the
dates set for the national primary,
an extra spring primary must be held
in presidential years. This spring
primary is held partly to allow the
voters to choose, by vote, delegates
to the national conventions.
