1t is a common thing to find

doubtful if such sale as the Un-

be equaled again in months.
The Special Purchase of Rog-

made months ago before the re-

on sale at prices so low that
every housewife and prospective
bride with silverware need will
find it profitable to attend the
sale.
In addition to beautiful sets
consisting of twenty-six pieces,
there are many dozens of
knives, forks. tablespoons and
teaspoons, which can be purr
chased separately or by the
dozen.
The purchase is further evil
dence of the ever-increasing buy

lower prices on home needs, be-
cause it is located out Of the
High Rent District. As always,
you make your own terms.

Schissler Wants to
Revive Base Ball at
Nebraska University

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 9.-Special-
Nebraska University atheletic au-
thorities announced Monday that
steps were being taken to revive
base ball as an intercollegiate sport
at Husker school. Assistant Coach
Paul Schissler has taken the initial
step and submitted his proposal to
Provost James T. Lees, who will
have final jurisdiction over the mat
ter.
Base ball been practically dead
at the state university for the past
10 or II years. 1t was not actually
abandoned as an intercollegiate
sport until 1916. Since that time
intramural base ball tournaments
have been held each year.
The chief difficulty and objection
to base bali as an intercollegiate
sport was that it did not pay for
itself. Coach Schissler says, how
ever, that he considers base ball will
be profitable now just as it was
several years ago before Lincoln
got a Western league team.
