4 Word of Advice

Are you aware of the fact that in the last six months all
kinds of merchandise has steadily advanced in price?
Do you know that today there is an actual scarcity of de-
sirable goods?
It is true.
Fortunately we anticipated this condition. Our buyers
have been steadily making advantageous purchases.
That's why we can offer to you, for the coming season, a
wonderful selection of Floor Covering and Bedding at prices
way below present values.
However, you will be wise to buy early for, as we have to
fill in our stocks it will be necessary to price them according to
the prices we have to pay. And present prices are up!
In conclusion, as our Spring stock keeps coming in we
must make room for it. For this reason we have marked down
numerous odds and ends for early purchasers. Some of the
prices are really ridiculously low. Besides, all our stock on,
hand remains at low old-time prices.
It means a real saving of cash to you to buy NOW.
Why not come in and get acquainted with us-even if you
are not ready to buy.
We are anxious to spread the TRUTH about our low prices
on Floor Covering and Bedding of high and medium grades.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-02-23
People Of Perth Amboy
Take Notice!

Some people think it good policy to buy only high grade
Floor Covering and Bedding.

in a position to give you what you want AND SAVE MONEY
ON IT.

with gloomy eyes the shading Of the

could not hear. The wind was now
heavy. Imponderable. no longer swift,
plastic thing. but solid. like an onrush-

with such reslstless weight that she
could not move. The green Of desert
plants along the road merged in two
shapeless fences, sliding at her from
the distance. Objects ahead began to

like rays Of light. the sky to take on

That was Madeline's last clear sen

But at an end Of infinite time that

COLORADO BEAN CROP THREE
TIMES LARGER THAN LAST YEAR

Denver.-C0lorado's bean crop il
three times rs large us LAST year and
the grain sorghum crop is the largest
In the history Of Ahe state, according
to report of the cooperative crop
reporting service of the United States
Bureau of Agricultural Economics.
The bean crop is 81 per cent Of nor
NAL, according to the report, and l..
100000 bushels are expected to be har-
vested. Last year the total crop was
100000 bushels. when 1t was 78 per
cent Of normal.
The fruit crop Is good and above a
ten.year average, says the report. Ap-
Piles to be harvested total 3,250,OO0
bushels, compared with 4,250,0OO
year ago; peaches 693.000 as against
100000 last year, and pears, 1885, 700
for 1923 compared with $4,000 year
ago.
Sugar beet production this year viii
approximate 1,S90.0OO tons. Last year
the tonnage was 1,488OOO tons. The
hay crop also exceeds that of year
ago. The report places the production
Of this year at 2,78S,OO0 tons com
pared with 2,700.OO0 tons a year ago.
Colorado farmers will harvest less
than 100000 acres Of potatoes this
year, compared with more than 142,.
600 acres planted for harvest In 1922,
according to reports of county asses
sors to the State Immigration Depart

ties but Rio Grande ana estimates
from that county show that the acre.
age reported as planted this year 70
about $4,000, which Is perhaps not
more than five per cent below the
acreage actually planted to the crop.
Even with this heavy decrease In acre
age present indications are that farm
ers will receive more for the 1923 out
put than for that Of last year.

The white. narrow road flashed out
Of the foreground. slipped with lncon.
ceivable rapidity under the car. When
she marked a clump Of cactus far
ahead 1t seemed to shoot at her, to
speed behind her even the instant she
noticed It. Nevertheless, Madeline
knew Link was not putting the car to
Its limit. Swiftly as he was flying, he
held something In reserve. And every
leaf and blade and branch Of cactus
bore wicked thorns. any one Of which
would be fatal to a tire.

horizon, appeared to mock Madeline,

Link leaped in, and the car sprang
ahead. The road began to wind up: It

Madeline saw that the car was sur
rounded by armed Mexicans. They
presented a contrast to the others she
had seen that day; she wondered .
little at their silence. at their respect

Suddenly q sharp spoken order
opened up the ranks next to the house.
Senior Monies appeared in the break,
coming swiftly. His dark face wore

Monies. "The signal was about to be

Stewart had been court-martialed
and sentenced according to Mexican
custom observed In cases Of brave sol.
diers to whom honorable and fitting
executions were due. His hour had
been set for Thursday when the sun
had sunk. Upon signal he was to be
liberated and was free to walk out
into the road. to take any direction he
pleased. He knew his sentence; knew
thai death awaited him, that every
possible avenue OF escape was blocked
by men with rifles ready. But he had
not the slightest Idea at what moment
or from what direction the bullets
were to come.
"Senora. we have sent messengers
