He promised to send a salesman

Answer-Without casting any re-
Election upon the stock you ask

call 1t standard investment and
therefore not comparable, In our
opinion, with the best railroad stocks

Before giving further considera-
ton to it we suggest in all Kindness
that you write to any OF the New

ask them for lists of current invest
ment offerings.
You will then see for yourself the
advantage OF investing in a standard
security that offers always quick
marketability, stock or bond that
has demonstrated down through the
years its good quality.

More stesdiness than usual lately
was shown in cotton goods last
week. The primary markets for
gray or unfinished goods gained
considerable activity in the middle
OF the week, with slight price ad-
vances which were maintained
despite a recession in buying ac-
tiyity later. In finished goods con-
verters reported more activity,
especially IN wash goods for inn
mediate delivery. Novelties that
have struck the popular fancy were
exceedingly active among some
sellers.
Percale prices were renewed for
delivery for several months to
come on the levels heretofore OBJ
tanning by several of the leading
producers. Some houses have
booked up to September, and on
shifting materials up until Au-

THIRD BROTHER,
LAST Of FAMILY,
VICTIM Of WAR
Tuberculosis, Contracted in Ar
gonne Forest, Fatal to In
trepid Denver Lieutenant.

DENVER, June S.-A story OF one
familys sacrifice in the world war
pregnant with pathos, was revealed
here in the death OF Lieut. Edward
G.. Skeggs, who succumbed to the
ravaees OF tuberculosis after a long
struggle in a vain effort to regain
his health.
Three brothers, Alfred. John and
Edward Skeggs, motivated by a high
sense of patriotism. dedicated their
lives to the cause OF humanity in
the world war, the frst-named join
ing the famous Princess Pat regi-
ment OF the Canadian army, and the
latter enlisting in the armed forces
OF Uncle Sam on the day that a state
of war was declared to exist be-
tween the United states and Ger
many.
Alfred, the older brother. was kill
ed in action in Flanders and his
body rests beneath the POPPY fields
there. John, a sergeant in the dis
tinguished Canadian regiment that
was badly riddled on the western
front, was seriously wounded and
gassed. After being invaded back
to Canada, his health grad ually ebbed
and he died in Quebec.
THIRD BROTHER DIES,
George, the third brother, who died
at MS nome mere recently, became n
member OF the Ism infantry, a Colo
RADIO unit, and sacrificed his health on
the far-Nung battlehelds OF the Ar
sonne Forest and along the Meuse
river. As the result of the exposure
to gas and the rigors OF the fighting
in those major engagements, he con-
tracted tuberculosis. He was brought
home and. after a long period OF
treatment at Fitzsimmons Hospital,
the army hospital in this city, he was
discharged in August, 1920, II being
believed that his health was greatly
improved. Since then he had been
living with his wife, Mrs. Daisy De-
Forest Skeggs.
Skeggs' death came suddenly at a
time when It was thought that he
had successfully combatted the dread
| disease.
Lieutenant Skeggs, who won his
commission In France, after eulistins
as a private, was thirty-one wears
| Old and is survived by his widow,
SkeEss had previously served an
enlistment In the army, having se.n
service In China and the Philippine
islands

Retailers reported a hardly per-
ceptible increase in sales last week
over the preceding week.
Many experienced little change
over April.
This, however, cannot be said of
silverware sales. During May an
apprecisble gain was noted over
April. and a similar increase was
reported for sales last week over
the previous week.
June Is expected to be another
good month for the trade. A nor
NAL fall business is expected by re-
tailers, although no preparation
need be made because of the large
stocks on hand.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
Trade DEVELOPMENTS of the Week

Business in the textile, shoe, apparel and kindred in
dustes week had decidedly snap to it than during
the previous week.
The warmer weather stimulated retail sales and to a
certain extent this reflected in the wholesale markets
through the retailers purchases of additional supplies for
immediate use.

retailers still adhere although not closely few months

changes in the temper of the public than formerly

Misses Una and Lena Sharkey OF
Strokestown, County Roscommon,
are prisoners in the military bar
racks here after series of alleged
prosecutions by the crown forces
which have made their case one OF
the most celebrated in western Ire
land.
An interesting feature of the case
was the determination OF the two
young women, both Of whom have
visited the United States, to keep
the American flag flying over their
shop, THE American Novelty
stores,' at Strokestown.
Tho White Cross associations re-
port on the affair says the girls re-
peatedly raised the flag but each
time it, was hauled down and seized.
Finally the flagpole was removed
and threat made, with a revolver
at the girls heads. that il the flag
was again shown the house would
be burned
The young women's troubles be-
gan, it is said, when retired po-
lice official conceived the idea that
they were turning their shop into
an ammunition factory because they
had "a knitting maching in their
