Hayes has q wide repertoire of oper

He told the King that the songs he
sings sprang from religious fcrvor

meetings and were never associated
with comic or minstrel entertainments
lie said his parents were slaves in
Georgia and therefore he realized
the spiritual significance OF the songs
because durin~ slavery times the

religious, for their only comfort lay
in the promise Of God.

Show Windows Again.

There is nothing which adds so
much to, the appearance Of store
as an attractive show window. In
fact, this is the only spot in the store
where merchandise may reveal all of
its beauty. Some few merchants take
advantage of this fact by clever lay
outs and novel Arrangements. Taste,
according to the trade magazines, de-
crees that window shall not be
crowded with a variety Of articles.
Rather it should contain few pieces,
or one piece, emphasizing single
feature of quality or style. 1llustrat-
ing these points is, for example, the
window of Rosenberg's store on the
square. The design shows the fall
winter styles in women's footwear.
The color scheme, carried out in
crepe paper is pleasing as is the ar
rangement Of the shoes themselves.

GARMENT WORKERS OUT
Sixty Thousand Went On Strike
Monday Morning.

New York, Nov. 15.-Sixty thou
sand garment workers were called
out on strike this morning in pro
test against the piece work system
and an increase from Al to 4s
hours a week which was to be put in
to effect today by their employers
Indications were that the struggle
might be prolonged.
The International Ladies Gar
ment Workers Union and 5000
shops were involved.
All efforts at settlement have
failed. Louis Lustig, president of the
Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufacture
ers' Protective association charged
that the union workers failed to aio
the employers in their efforts to in,
crease production and thus lower
prices of women's clothing. The
strikers charged the employers with
violating trade agreement which
left the question of working. condi,
tions to bipartisan commission
which was to have reported Novem'
ber /. The piece work system means
a return of the "sweat shop" they
declare.

Selling Wheat.

1t is perhaps good omen for
next year that the farmers of Able

large quantities Of seed wheat. Mer-

seem to be able to get it in fast

farmers are evidently making pro-
vision to live at home and to have
"white bread on the table, along
with the "hoecake." Of course they
will also have a cane patch, plenty
