CHICAGO. H., Aug. 7.-The Amerl- can home without it's congomeration of furniture is a difficult picture to imagine. but the furniture situation ln- dicates that we may yet see a reVer- sion to the Japanese style which con- siders a few mats and tea table ade- quate equipment for Housekeeping
 Just now the retailers say that they cannot supply fast enough the demand for twin beds and floor lamps at prices several times the old rates. But, as we cut deeper into our timber reserves the prices will rise still further, until we reach a point where even the most rash1y eXtravagant buyer will balk- Then there will doubtless come fad for simple housekeeping, which we can only hope will take more rational form than the overall episode in the clothes reform.
 Furniture dealers are getting stock ordered a year or more ago, and the manufacturers have begun to recover from their war difficulties with labor and embargoeS. The consumer der1ves no financial gain from this lessening of the tension. He profits only to the extent that he can now spend his money if he likes. During the war, su far as furniture was concerned. thaJ privilege was limited by the shortage of stock. but now he is led around to look at period" furniture, pieces which he is told represent the Chinese fnflu- ence, and other exhibits pleasing to the eye and tagged with startling prices. Furniture is skyrocketing with a speed that would surprise even persons calloused to price shocks.

BIG DOUBLE CIRCUS
COMING THIS WAY

This locality has entertained many
circuses, but never anything to com
pare with the gigantic double shows
billed as Ringing Brothers and Bar
mum & Bailey Combined which will
exhibit afternoon and night at Win
ston+Saler1, Saturday, October %.
The merging OF these mammoth in:
stftutions in one circus of colossal
size, constitutes the amusement sur
prise Of the century. Nothing to ap-
proach this gigantic, new circus. has
ever before toured America. 1t has
been formed by merging the pick and
the cream of all that was biggest and
best in the two famous shows, It
would be folly to attempt to enumef-
ate it's many wonders. Some idea or
the enormous scale upon which fea-
lures are presented may be had when
| it is stated that a quarter of a million
| pounds of elephants take part in
single act. In other words times
as many of the big-eared giants as
have ever before been seen in one
main-tent exhibition All else to be
seen is in proportion. The arenlc
stars embrace all the worlds foremost
circus performers. There are tnree
hours of novelties and big sensational
acts. The menagerie is far and away
the most colossal ever Travelled. For
instance heard of eight giraffes are
exhibited in place of the two or three
shown in the past. The great tourna-
ment which opens the main-tent pro-
gram, is the most magnificent thing
il. pageantry yet produced in Amer
lea. Hundreds upon hundreds OF gor-
geously costumed characters and
beautiful horses take part in it. The
morning street parade is the longest
and most brilliant ever given any
) where and offers something entirely
new and novel in professional display
It is a stupendous, double-circus thai
battles description.

Wedding Bells Ring
Merrily On Here
MOFFITT-COX.

A wedding which will keenly inter
est, and come as surprise to High
Point society, was that of Miss Jau-
nita Mofftt to j. Clyde Cox on Tues
day evening, October 5. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. E. L.
Balm at the Methodist parsonage in
Greensboro and was witnessed by
Miss Helen Reynolds and, Sam L.
Davis, Jr., both of High Point, who
accompanied the young couple to the
scene of the marriage.
While it has, been understood in
social circles of the city that the Mof-
fitt-Cox wedding would be solemnized
this fall, no formal announcement
had been made. The romance cul-
minated in the quietly impressive
marriage in Greensboro this week.
Mrs. Cox is the daughter of Mr..
and is prominent among the younger
and Mrs. H. A. Mofftt. of High Point.
social set of this city. She is loved
by many friends here and throughout
the state. She is a daughter" of
old Salem, which college she attend
ed two years. Mr.. Cox is former
resident of Asheboro, the son of o.
r. Cox, of that place. He is busi-
ness man of ability, being secretary
and treasurer of the High Point
Broom Works, and, like his bride, is
prominent socially.
Following the wedding in Green's
boro, Mr.. and Mrs. Cox left for a
bridal trip to Richmond, Va, Wash
| ington and New York. On their re-
turn in two weeks, they will be at
home in High Point.

printing it in the condensed form Oh
a few lines on the backs OF the en-
welcomes of the local concerns. Inls
appears to be a worthy plant to many
of the business men, since it affords
them excellent advertising.
The data up to date, though by no
means complete, shows that since tne

| in the confines of High Point, 90 new
dwellings,, 18 new factories ana Il
additions to factories; five new manu-

ston-SaIem Saturday, October %.
It would seem as though everybody
in this locality were planning to at"

been sufficient to arouse far more IN
terest than has ever before been
shown in the coming of any amuse-
ment enterprise And word from the
Ringling Brothers, who are the dF
rectors of this gigantic circus, is 20
the effect that those who attend the
performances will witness the great
est program ever presented in Amer
ica. This is likewise true or tne
mammoth street parade, which will
positively take place showday morn
ing. the mammoth menagerie and all
else connected. with this biggest or all

shovmen have made a complete SIR
vey of both the great ctrcuses ana
merged the finest and best OF each
Yinto one. Hundreds upon hundreds

gantfc main-tent. There will be scores

New York, Oct. 8.-George White,

on the Knox resolution in favor of a
separate peace with Germany.

them.
