"HlS Is a question tnat II is
important to settle before,
rather than after, you pur-
chase the furniture.
Before it can be settled, it must \
be asked. Don't omit to ask it.
Just now, there are furniture
sales on every hand, and there is
furniture advertising on nearly
every page of the newspapers.
You read of low prices in great
comparison, and of extraordinary
services offered.
You read of brilliant finishes,
of deep and soft upholstering-
But h0lu much do you read of
the stuff that the furniture is
actually MADE Of, outside or
inside?
Do you know what those soft
and luxurious cuttings are filled
with?-whethe it's tow or old
raps-whether moss or hair?
You read of "solid mahogany"
and "built-up" mahogany land
just plain mahogany and of
the same with regard to other
woods.
How are you to know what
these things mean?
You can ask.
Go into any of the vivaciously
advertised February" furniture
sales now going on, and when you
see upholstered furniture
Insist upon knowing lChat it
is upholstered with.
When you see solid mahog-
any
Insist upon knowing h0W
much of it is mahogany.
When shown mahogany
Insist upon knOUing Whether
it is actually mahogany or a
finish.
We cannot tell you just what
answers you will get when you
pay these visits and ask these
questions, and in other establish
ments than this one.

HARDING's VETO.
(Richmond News-Leader.l

L.I
in its logic, its array of facts and
its English, the veto message on the
bonus is quite the most impressive
paper that has come from the White
House since Wilson'S day.
The arguments it advances against
the bonus bill are the soundest and
strongest, and they are presented
from precisely the right point of
v:ew. They are supported by statis-
ties that will surprise even those
VINO usually CLEAN wheat from chaff
in the news. How many knew until
the President told them that during
'he current fiscal year the govern
ineat will expcnd 100000 on
disqualification and care of the sick
anc wounded, on compensation and
vocational training for the disabled
and Tor Insurance? Next year the
total will be S470,O00,00 or more.
In the end, states Mr.. Harding, "the

Richmond, Sept. 26.-spectal.-A
ringing call to the colors was issued
last night by Senator Harry Flood
Byrd, chairman of the State Demo
cratic committee, when that organiza-
ton convened at Murphy's Hotel to
review the present political situation
in the State. with especial considera-
ton Of those districts where there is
Republican opposition. An air of con-
fidence and determination permiated
the atmosphere. Speakers who ad-
dressed the meeting included Sena-

red TO repeat speech that must
AVE been delivered, not in the DAYS
II old Black Joe, but in the days of

His appeal to the women voters Of
this district was a direct insult to
Southern womanhood and a disgrace
TO the party whose cause he so feebly
champions. But, with his ASSUMED
title of @Hon" he rushes to the aid of
Hassinger and has the effrontery to
ask the good people of the district to

who wants nothing but TO replenish

THE TARIFF on SUGAR.

tFrom the U. S. Sugar Association.)
Under the pending tariff bill, the
House increased the duty on sugar
go per cent. from 1c to leo per h.,
which. on the 100000 tons we now
consume would cost the American
people $lS0,000,000 annually.
The Senate has further increased
the minimum rat Of duty on the raw
sugar TO Isle per pound, equivalent
on refined sugar TO about &c per ID.
If the Senate rate on sugar would
be adopted it would be the highest
N thiity-t"o years and 81 per cent.
higher than imposed by the indefen-
sible Paynee Aldrich Bill,
The cost Of sugar through the tot
al tariff imposed would be increased
about &c per pound, equal to
$500 per bag,
$500 per barrel,
$1,000 per annum TO family of 5,
$4,000 per carload of $4,000 lbs,
S22O,000,000 per annum to Ameri-
can consumers.
This rate would nearly double the
tariff tax on sugar, thereby increas-
ing instead Of reducing the cost Of
living.

All Of which leads me to ask, not on

The time is here when we ought to
face the teachings of Jesus with the
determination to find out Just where
