"JEST RUNUNATIN'."
(Roberr Russell.)

They say the men have lost their jobs out there in Oregon that they're the saddest lot O chaps you ever looked upon. For women won the offices on last election day. an when a woman gets a job most usually she'll stay. The women are not boastin' O. the things that they will do: they'll look the sit uation up an down an through an. through. We pity those poor human males who'll have to stand the gaze of women now in. power through this woman suffrage craze. O course the town is mighty small that's got q woman boss, an women m each office. but the men must come across. They've found the way to do it; they have offered all their aid. in quite unneces- sary fear that females are afraid. The women are not boastin', but they made the wise remark: We can't do worse than have the men since Noah built his ark" Now my ol pipe gets whimsical; its smoke twists in a grin. It hates to say unpleasant things; it hates this buttin' i'm But ne'ertheless it's forced to chirp that women should recall twas men who gave the women that great right to vote this fall.

WATCHING THE MARKET

would like to know more about the market and changing prices, we are taking the liberty of giving the fol- lowing information and a statement of our policy.
 The changes in the market have not been uniform. Some goods have fallen; some have remained fixed. Silks dropped last spring, and are now steady with an inclination to go up rather than down. Some cotton and wool goods, but not all, dropped only recently. Other lines of goods may fall in price, but the drop has not yet come. And no one can be sure when or if it will.
 With all the price changes that have or may come, customers want to know that when they buy they are getting the advantage of favorable changes. They want to feel sure that they are not paying more than pre- vailing prices.
 We can assure customers who buy of us that they are getting the lowest current prices, because we are re- adjusting our prices to conform to the prices in the wholesale market almost daily.
 In doing this we are simply carry ing out our long standing policy of readjusting our prices to drops in the market. giving our customers the benefit of any decline even on our present stock.
 Thus when our customers buy of us. they may place full confidence in the integrity of our prices. We know the market, our large buying power gives us lowest wholesale prices; we can assure those who buy here that they are getting goods at the greatest possible saving.
 But watch for quality. There are those who advertise low quality mer- chandise at their ordinary low prices, . implying that they are the better grades at such low prices. We handle only first quality goods.

ing and Left March 81, Says
Husband.

Police officials of Washington and
Alexandria are searching for Mrs.
Mary CARL, wife OF Edward CARL. OF
200 Duke street. Alexandria. who dis
appeared from her home March 81.
Mrs. Carll took her clothing when
she left the home, her husband says.
She left a short note asking him to
take good care OF their twelve-year.
old boy.
Mr.. CARL insists their domestic re-
lations had been happy until recently,
when. he says. his wife accused him
of mot caring for her any more" He
believes his wife may be hiding in
Alexandria or Washington.
"Just after she left ! inquired
about her at the RAILROAD station in
Alexandria but no one answering her
description had bought ticket" he
said. II thought perhaps she had
gone to visit relatives in st. Louis,
and / made a hurried trip there, but
to no avail. 1t Is just possible she is
trying to make her way back to Ger
many, where she has relatives"
The husband. aided by the police,
has asked the State Department to
investigate whether a passport was
granted to anyone answering Mrs.
Carlrs description.
Mrs. CARL is thirty-five, has a
dark complexion and long black hair.
She is of medium build, and about
