IL is the first ques-

to ask and we 70 answer.
Thirty per cent less and

prevailing in the market
today.
The advantage to be
gained in dollars and cents
cannot be emphasized too
strongly for any home now
needing furniture. The OPP
portunity is without paral-
lei in the near past, and
also in the near future, as
far as near futures can be
seen into.
Thirty per cent is saw
ings of nearly a third, 40
per cent savings of nearly
a half; and please note
that the prices on which The
estimate is based are the
lowered prices of furniture
today, not the OLD, soaring
wartime prices which wor-
ried so many good people
and kept SO many good
homes out of their own in
the form of good furniture.
TS'OLKS are often glad to
= buy at an auction, or
sale of household
goods, old, possibly time
worn furniture, for higher
prices or lower savings than
they can today obtain new,
high-grade goods for in
this rather remarkable sale
at Wanamaker's.
We r e C ly secured
S40O, 900, worth of the finest
furniture in America to sell
to our customers, some of
it at 80 and some at 40 per
cent below the market rate.
1t is all new, exceptionally
high-grade furniture, equal
ly notable for tastefulness
of design and wonderfully
fine interior work.
AS fast as the successive
shipments come in and as
we can make room for the
goods on our floors, we are
placing them on display and
sale, grouping all the SAM

ton, on the Sixth Floor

The bulk of it is dining

able, which can be bought
by the single piece or
matched up into suits of
five pieces, at an advantage
of 80 per cent.

STUDY OF VILLAGE
AND SMALL TOWN
Great Menace Is Their Ten
dencv to Become Gifted

Cities are not the only places criti-
cized; the country town and the way
side village are also improbable. At
least, as a rule, they are; though
many of them are spoken of in terms
of the highest praise by returning
summer tourists. Why people should
pay heavy taxes in our big cities and
be obliged to put up with ditry and
disease-breeding streets is we'll under
stood. They pay enough to get the
best and get the worst. But city
crowds are made up of unmanageable
nondescript millions. The men who
ought to be managers have party
on the brain. They prefer to be loyal
to party rather than to civism and
common sense. So that bosses skim
them along with the scum.
Why, however, should the American
town or village be hopeless? True,
taxes in towns are getting to be big,
but the men Of town are too sharp
to let the town money go into the
pockets Of graters and sinecurists and
ought to get the worth of their tax
money in increased property valua-
ton, due to the installation of con-
veniences. Oud towns are easier to
manage than our cities and ought to
go forward faster than they do. But
they have one special temptation
they are tempted to initiate the faults
of city as we'll as its creditable
features.-E. N. Vallandigham in

served with me overseas!"
"That was Johnny H." the
chairman replied. "He's great dis
appointment to the town."
"Why?" the Colonel asked.
"Well," said the chairman, Johnny
was something of a hero over there
a real hero, l guess. When he came
back, the whole town met him at the
station. We named park in his
honor, elected him to life membership
in the Board of Trade, and gave him
a place in one of our largest banks.
That was a year ago. Today he is
back at his old job, in lumber yard,
and has dropped completely out Of
sight"
The young T. R. leaned forward.
His face was drawn and his lower jaw
shot out at familiar angle.
"And the man is absolutely
right!' he roared, shaking his fist in
the faces of the astonished local COM
mittee.
81 have seen that happen too many
times," he continued, sharply. "The
home town of a returned hero usually
dresses him up in fine clothes, sticks
him in place which has no earthly
relation to anything else he has ever
done in his life, and then expects him
to be a success. Nine times out Of
ten the man fails, the town loses in
terest in him, and he slips back into
his old rut, and very naturally be-
comes a malcontent. You are the
ones at fault. Instead of placing this
man in bank, why didn't you put
him in his proper environment-set
him up in the right way in the right
place? Johnny H is perfectly
right in his attitude"
