Yesterday Calkins-white had to
move their great Majestic range DEM
onstration to the first floor in tho rear
of their big store. The crowds be-
came SO large that the ladies could
not be accommodated in the basement
salesroom, SO room was made for
them upstairs Prof. Becker gave II
lecture on meat cooking that was n
marvel. and then after the lecture was
over the crowd stood up and flash
light picture was taken of the store
guests. and the prizes for the after
noon were awarded as usual.
This great demonstration of the
peerless Majestic range will be con-
tinued all this week, with many added
attractions in the way of special lee
lures by Prof. Becker and special
menus for all who attend, and 1t is
safe to say that every lady who at

Even moro ominous Is the fact. now
easy to foresee, that when the income

be a staggering task for the party in
power.

The Democratic responsibility Is to
provide the country with an opposition
party, based on idealism and human
rights. The Democrats must accept
the role of idealism and human rights.

A storm OF considerable energy is
central over Utah this morning, its
area embracing practically all the
mountain region. 1t has given prccipi-
tation quite generally along the Pacific
coast and inland to southwestern Col
orado. Another disturbance in the
middle Mississippi valley has caused
moderately heavy precipitation in
western Tennessee and less amounts
at a few other points in the east and
south. It is cooler locally and in the
mountain region generally and in the
middle and upper lake region; higher
temperatures prevail from the Appa-
lachians eastward.
Tho western disturbance is expected
to take an easterly course and will
give unsettled weather in Pueblo and

SWEEPS CHICAGO

Chicago, Jan. There is an opti-
Histic "undercurrent in all offices of
the big stores here. Christmas bust
ness exceeded all records and SO far
this week sales have been almost as

The leader of one Of the greatest
retail stores in the world summed up
the testimony Of the others thus:
"In saying we are taking our
medicine we do not mean we are
acting the philanthropist. We believe
it is good business to clean our
shelves Of high cost goods. replacing
them with goods bought on the new
market. If business is to survive. It
must take profits at profit time and it
must likewise take losses with good
grace.
I" 1--WE have been anticipating these
losses since August, with reductions
but the price reductions. today are 80
to SO per. cent what they. were in
August in some cases" WA"

ITO the Members of the Legislature

I'VE, the undersigned taxpayers OF
the Kensal school district, petition
you to introduce and use your best
efforts to have passed at the next ses-
sion of the legislature a bill to more
evenly distribute the taxation. fol-
maintaining high schools in villages

costs 800 per acre per year. or more
for tax. while in adjoining school dis.
tricts the tax On the land is about AZ
cents per acre per year. The higf

adjoining districts. ~.
1--WE ask thai either the state lev,
a tax and maintain a fund to defral

where such high schools should b
located. or that the state be re
