"Printzess'' Jersey Suits

These ha>7o just been made and are direct from the factory. The demand for Jersey Suits is strong because they have been tried and tested and found ''not wanting'' when it came to service and practical endurance. So, although the season is well advanced this was too tempting an opportunity to let pass. Because, owing to the lateness of the season, they were offered to us at less than half what the ordinary purchasing price would be. We thought our GUS toners would appreciate this as they, too, will save considerably on buying from this stock

which was highly appreciated, es-

Mrs A drich
Made Great Hit
In Clark Sburg

Reports from Clarksburg
where Congressman Ellsworth
and Mrs. Evelyn Aldrich spoke
last night are to the effect that
Mrs. Aldrlch made a wonderful
Impression. Her speech on the
league Of nations was the best
thing on that line ever heard
there and National Committee
man Virgil Highland, whose
home is in Clarksburg, immed-
laely set on foot an effort to
have Mrs. Aldrich booked for a
return date in that town before
the election.
Ms. Aldrich is thoroughly IA
miliar with the subject Of the
league. and she discusses II in
manner which makes It espe-
cially clear 10 women voters.
Women who heard her uT
Clarksburg last night were
warm in the praise of what she
said and declared It TO he the
best speech ever made in hat
town by a woman.

BOARD
OBJECTS TO PRICE
Exceptions Are Filed To
Report Filed By Com
missiOners

Exceptions to the award Of the
commissioners In the condemna-
tion proceedings to obtain possess.
ion Of the property OF Mike and
Mary Ross at the corner OF Mor
gantown avenue and Alta Vista
streets were filed with Judge VII
liam C. Raymond Of the circuit
court this morning by Attorney E.
B. Carskadon, for the Board OF
Education OF the Union Independ-
ent district.
The filing Of the petition followed
the action OF a board Of commits
sioners composed of A. ]. McDan.
iel, Chas. E. McCray and T. L.
Burchinal, who were appointed to
view the property yesterday and
fixed the compensation at $3.50. ,
The land which is sought by the
board as part Of the new East Side
high school grounds, adtoins the
land formerly owned by Guy L.
Carter and which was condemned
last spring resulting in q trial to a
jury which fixed Carter's compen.
sation at $15,500. The Carter
property has frontage Of 800 feet,
while the Ross frontage Is only "a
feet. On the other nand, the Ross
property contains house occupied
by the owner Of the property
The action OF the commissioners
came as a surprise to the board IN.
asmuch as no testimony seems to
have ben taken regarding the COM
paratiYo value Of adjacent property.
Some Gme ago the board offered
$4,000 for the property, which was
bought by Ross /. Funt about years
ago for $4,000.
The Carter suit was stouuy con-
tested at the time OF trial, Quie an
array OF legal alent having been en-.
ployed on each side. and It IS quite
likely that this case viii be no less
stubornly contested.
In case the board wish to take
possession of the property for school
purposes before the settlement OF
teh case II is understood that they
may do 30 within 80 days by paying
into court the amount Of the finding
OF the commissioners and In the
event of the jury fixing the com.
peusatlon at a les amount, the DIFF
ference will be refunded.
