used phrase that trips lightly
from the lips Of many who do
not realize the rarity Of a
pearl of perfect hue, lustre
and conformation; and with
what infinite care, what. pa

offerings of the richly-sown
beds of the Indian Ocean, let
alone a necklace, such as these,
composed OF perfect pearls,
perfectly matched.
Not easily are the precious

which is so exquisitely reflect

Just received some very
handsome damasks from
Lille, made since the war.
They are in single-tone,
two-tone and striped eff

range of colors--blue, rose,

forth. Width 80 inches,
prices SIS and s17.50 a

We have also received
some exceedingly fine YER
dure tapestries, recently
woven outside Paris. The
handsome patterns and
soft, yet well-defined colors
follow the best old French
traditions of the tapestry
looms. Width 80 inches,
prices S5.75 to $40 yard.
We imported both these
fabrics specially, and be-
lieve there are no others
like them in the city, maybe
not in the whole country
today. So strong is the
demand for such high
grade upholstery fabrics
as set against the supply,
that we were selling these
French goods from samples
long before they arrived.

REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR COUNTY AUDITOR

Henry G. Wolking was born on a
farm in Missouri in 1884. He was
reared on farms in Missouri and Kan
sas and educated in the public schools
of the latter State. It may be of in
terest to know that he was a classmate
of Attorney General Ford in the High
School.
Mr.. Wolking pursued ar extensive
course in commercial lines at Walton
College in Spokane. After completing
his course in Walton College he be-
came an accountant.
In 1918 he filed upon a homestead
in the southwest part of Valley Coun-
ty.
In 1918 Mr.. Wolking was elected
County Auditor. He has installed in
that office the best system for the
transaction of business of any County
Auditors office in this State.
During the war registration board

Charles E. Peterson
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR CORONER

Charlie Peterson is so we'll known
to the citizens of Valley County that
he scarcely needs an introduction
through these columns. He was born
on a farm in Stearns County, Mime
sofa, in 1876, attended the local schools
of that county and spent two years
working in an undertaking establish
ment in Chicago.
Charlie came to Glasgow something
over twenty years ago and has re-
sided here continuously since that time
and has been engaged in the furniture
and undertaking business for the past
thirteen years.
He has held the office of coroner for
several terms and has rarely had an
opponent for the office, his general
popularity over the county giving him
the office without opposition. He
probably has a larger acquaintance
than any other candidate on the coun-
ty ticket and it is a foregone conclus-
ion that each and every acquaintance
is a booster for his candidacy.

mature judgment.
Mr.. Christopherson has never be-
fore been a candidate for office. At
the earnest solicitation of his many
friends and neighbors he became a
candidate in the primary and was
nominated without opposition.
This office is an important one. The
validity of the court proceedings de-
pend in many cases upon the accur-
acy of the Clerks records. In every
way Mr.. Christopherson is equipped
to discharge the duties of the office
accurately and correctly.
Born in Wisconsin 81 years ago,
he was educated in the public schools
of that state and at Luther College,
DEBORAH, Iowa, Gale College, Galesville,
Wisconsin, and Cation College, Mime
apolis, Minnesota. He pursued a
special course of study in accounting
and commercial law. For ten years
he was engaged in office and clerical
work.
He was married in 1909 and has
three children. In 1918 he settled upon
a farm northwest Of Opheim upon
which, with his family, he still re-
sides.

Der of that year when the Company

the benefit of other climates. During
a part of 1917 and 1918 he worked
upon a farm in Wisconsin but finding

came a candidate for Sheriff.
In every position which he has held
in private life he has been faithful to

matters to which the sheriff's office is
required to give attention. No detail
of that office will be overlooked or
sighted by him. His whole life has
been clean-cut and straightforward.
To meet him once is to know him
thoroughly. He is exactly what he ap-
pears on first acquaintance to be. His
broad experience in railroad work has
brought him in contact with all classes
