Matchless Offerings
in Hair-Upholstered
Furniture

The suits listed below
are our lowest priced up
holstered living-room suits.
In common, however, with
the finest, most luxuriously
made and highest priced
upholstered furniture In
the Sale, they are filed
entirely with CURLED
HAIR, and their seats
m a d o with SPRING
EDGES, and with WEB
BOTTOMS.
The combination Of these
features and these prices
Is one you're not likely to
find outside Wanamakers.
Tho davenports average
seven feet In length, and
all davenport backs arc
covered with the same ma
terial as is used In the
part that shows, instead of
the usual glazed muslin.
All davenports and chairs
have spring cushions.
If you come soon enough
to the Sale, you can buy
A tapestry upholstered
davenport for S76. Wing
chair to match, S44; arm
chair or rocker, S44.
A tapestry upholstered,
spring-arm suit at S94 for
the davenport, $50 for the
armchair or rocker, and
$54 for the wing chair.
A figured blue velour
suit, spring arms, davsn-
port, armchair and wing
chair, 200 Tor the three
pieces.
And $125 for y daven-
port, $50 for an armchair
and sos for a wing chair,
upholstered In tapestry or
figured blue velour. Each
piece has the large, fat, in
viting barrel arms.
Perhaps the most re-
markable value Of all is a
suit upholstered in fine blue
mohair, $500 for the three
pieces: a davenport, a huge
restful armchair and an,
other large easy chair with
wings.

Ranging Among
Bedroom Suits


ono finds values so high
that he feels he must look
twice at tho price-ticket in
order to believe his eyes.
His eyes are right when
they tell him that a certain
four-piece suit Is only S255,
and his Judgment Is right
when 1t tells him that at
that low price It would be
a remarkable acquisition In
his home.
Beauty and usefulness
combined have been studied
In the building Of this suit,
which Is Of Louis XVI de-
sign, and may be had In
choice Of beautiful figured
mahogany or walnut.
There Is q full-sized bed,
a handsome double-door
chifforobe, with one side
devoted TO wardrobe space,
the other containing five
roomy tray-drawers.
Note that these drawers
are made wider than the
average. This was done at
our direction, TO satisfy q
demand we have found to
exist for such a feature.
Then, there is a vanity
dressing table with triple
mirrors, and with four
drawers, and q bureau with
a large, satisfying mirror.
(Look In It and see for
yourself.)
Another suit, especially
interesting from the fact
that 1t belongs TO the large
number of those that we
will sell by the separate
piece, displays charming
decorative effects through
skillful employment of IN
lay.
The tops and fronts Of
tho pieces are Of walnut,
inset with attractive mar
quetry designs In a darker,
almost black. wood, set of
with delicate tracery at
tanned through tiny dots
and lines Of q light wood,
almost An ivory shade.

Whiskey Runner Shot.

Shot through the left arm and breast
during a running fight with police
officers in an attempt to evadc arrest
and get away with IS gallons Of
whiskey, John w. Fry, of Martinsburg,
was laid up in the Winches er Hos
pital last Saturday.
Fry was shot about daybreak by Ben
Armel, motorcycle patrolman, who.
with Sheriff Pannett and Chief Of Pc.
lice Doran, had gone to intercept Fry
and Hugh Reynolds, bound from Elk
ton, Va, to Martinsburg in a high
powered automobile loaded with red
rye liquor in FIVE and ten-gallon kegs.
Fry was betrayed by an attractive
young woman, who told Sheriff PAN
nett that both men had gone to Elk
ton and would return Saturday morn
ing. 1t is said they had been loversl
but Fry had thrown her over. Her
name was not revealed.
When the whiskey car reached Ste.
phens City, on the Shenandoah VAL
ley pike, about dawn, Armel called up
on Fry to stop. Instead, Fry is alleg-
ed to have cursed Armel and sped
away. Mounting his motorcycle the
officer gave chase and running fight
ensued. Bullets from Armel's rcvol-
yer punctured rear tires of Fry's car
which sped along on the rims eight
or ten miles until finally Fry was
wounded. Meanwhile Reynolds was
throwing kegs of LIQUOR from the car.
and they were strung along the road
from Stephens CITY TO Kerns.own.
Winchester bootleggers. who had heard
of the raid, detoured and began pick
ing up the kegs. They were caught in
the act by the officers, who compelled
them at gunpoint to bring the liquor
to the city hall
1t is said that the men Fry and Rev
nolds had been running whisky for
some time past from Elkton, where the
distilleries are fourishing in the near
by mountains.

Dairyman Has Bad Luck.

Charles S. Billmyer, dairyman. who
lives south Of town. has had more than
his share of bad luck the past week
His most valuable COW, Duchess du
Ccuvan, thoroughbred Jersey of thd
finest strain, died from septic poison!
ing. Mr.. Billmyer recently bought this
COW at a cost Of over $500, and it ii
probably the best Jersey ever brought
into this section, and he had expected
to use her in building I'D his herd Ia
the highest standard His calves havo
also been affected with a disease which
the veterinarian pronounced forage
poisoning, and one calf about six
months old has died and another a III,
tie older is in bad condition, the poi
son having caused it to go blind. Tho
trouble seems TO have come from 2
fungus growth on hay. While cows
are not susceptible, calves and horses
have a small chance when they be-
come i'll from it. Mr.. Billmyer also
had fine field of oats which he hari
vested, and put into the barn to cure.
The wet weather was too much for il
and he now has a spoiled crop Of oats
on his hands. 1t is pretty well agreed
that Mr.. Billmyer has had his share
of bad luck and more than enough to
last him the rest Of the year.
