Buying Clothes is a matter of
deliberate judgment. But buy Good
Clothes. No Matter what price you pay,
the price alone doesn't prove economy
the longer the Clothes serve the more
economical they are. SNELLENBURG
CLOTHES are the right kind.
And if You Need to be Convinced of the
Fact, Brief Inspection Of Our Styles and
Qualities and Comparison of Our Prices
with Those of Other Stores Will Prove it
Conclusively.
A man can buy the kind of clothing he
wants and likes here--the sort that looks well
and wears well--the sort that's credit to
himself and his clothier. And owing to our
maker -to-wearer policy Of selling which eHmi
mates the customary middleman's profit, he
doesn't have to pay as much for our good
clothing as he must pay for inferior kinds else

nose of perfecting plans for the

According to Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Gait, the women OF the
league are ready for the work en-
tailed upon the organlzatlon'
"Since votes for women is now an
ACCOMPLISHED fact, what are the
women going to do with the
vote ?" she asks. Are they going
to draw back their skirts in dis
dain from all interest in politics
on the ground that it is corrupt?
Are they going to join the
army of kid-gloved men slackers
whom | have heard proudly boast
that they would not touch politics
with a ten-foot pole?
COR, are they going to be OF
those who will help swell Amer
ica's army of voters, who put con
science and thought into the
scales with party politics anc
party candidates?
'In order to help the new
woman voter find her way through
the maze of these besetting ques
tions there has been formed the
: National League of Women Vot
hrs. In each state, state branches
Ire forming out of the old suf
Rage associations. This league i!

bember of it and yet be a member

hoose, exactly as she may be {
hember of it and be a member Of
|ny church she may choose.
"The League of Women Voters
not encouraging women to leave
heir parties, for it is through the
(olitical parties that we must
FORK. They furnish US with the
bachinery through which we are
nabled to reach the public, keer

"a Sister to SalOme,"
New Fox Play, Coming

What is described as the most
amazing photoplay of the year is
coming to the Opera House on
Monday. In "a Sister to Salome"
William Fox offers the public a
powerful story of a fascinating
diva whose great love serves as
the basis for a drama full of sus-
pense and surprise.
Gladys Brockwell will be seen
in the title role-a part peculiarly
suited to ther great talents and
in which she is said to surpass
even her own enviable record.
The story as outlined in ad-
vance reports is different from
anything heretofore seen on the
silver sheet. 1t was written es-
pecially for Miss Brockwell by
Julius G. Furthman, one of the
screens best known writers-who
also wrote the scenario.

to Fond du Lac to look over the Latex
Tire and Rubber Co., plant of which
George c. is one of the stock holders
and one of the officers.
1t is not decided as yet whether i

wish to give up their home and neigh
bors.
Since giving up the lumber business
Mr.. Carpener has been looking for
something.
At one time he had plans and the
builders of the AL Ringing Theatre
engaged to put in a wholesale fruit
and grocery business in connection
with a large cold storage plant whicl
would have covered the ground between
the Excelsior creamery and the Deppe-
Carpenter warehouse.
Plans were to sell to every one
alike on wholesale basis, which was
strenously objected to by some. Rather
than go through fight simular to the
one, when he went into the lumber
business, he gave UP the project.
On their return trip, all went through
the State Prison and agree that the
state of Wisconsin is fortunate in hav-
ing this institution under the manage
ment of Warden Towne and his as
sociates.

effort to save their sons.
When the boys were swept away the
minister swan to assist them and was
himself soon struggling with the under
tow. When coast guards pulled him
out OF the water he fought with them
to be allowed to continue his search and
finally fell exhausted. 1t was some time
before he was revived.
The two drowned boys were widely
known and popular in Cranfrod. Many
messages of sympathy reached their
parents as soon as the news of the
tragedy spread through Crawford yes

will aid; but, all should remember

another presents itself. These con-
