GLOWING is the price list printed:

In the above list numbers 1892, 2192, 1894, 1914,
A, 504s, 3Si4 and 6192 are serges; S16-69, 4077 and
1854 are french back serges; 96131, $3.50, 1918, 3451
are unfinished worsteds and 200 is clay.
A study of this price list shows that tho high
est advance was that on number 200, the new price
being 80 cents a yard higher than last spring. The
next highest advance is on serge number 3S44, the
new price being % cents a yard higher than last
spring. The bulk of the advances in serges are
1712 cents a yard higher than last spring. The in
crease in unfinished worsteds runs from five cents
to ten cents per yard. So much for the increase in
prices of staple overcoatings and %suitings.
1t takes four yards of cloth to make an over
coat. Figured at 271a, the increase on serges, the
increase in the cloth.cost in an ovcrcoat would be
$1.10. The increase in the cloth-cost of overcoat'
ings and suitings made from unfinished worsteds
would not be over 10 cents and in some cases only
90 cents. These figures completely dispose of Sen.
ator WaIsh's charge that suits and overcoats are
going to be IS to SO higher this year than last year
because of the protective tariff.
The American consumer should be on his guard
against being victimized upon the plea that the
new wool tariff necessitates a tremendous increase
in the price of clothes.

France and Dreyfms was a Jew. He
was accused OF betraying his country
and after secret military trial In

of suffering and imprisonment he was

Meanwhile the real traitor-Ester-

For years he eked out miserable

High School Class
Picks Annual Play

At the first regular class meeting
OF the current year, the Junior
Glass Of the Rawlins High School
voted to give 1.-The Hottentot" as
their annual play. Glass Sponsor.
Eugene b. DeLacy. acted upon the
decision of the class Immediately
and plans for producing this valua-
BILE bit of American humor are now
we'll under way. Actual work of
coaching the plav will he under the
supervision of Billy Williams, who
has proven himself a past master
in such affairs in other years.
Those in charge Of the plans feel
sure that Rawlins will be given n
definite treat December 9Th. the
date set for the play. Much of the
real spice of the piece could not be
reproduced by the motion picture
since it centers around h witty
Dialogues so well developed by Will
lie Collier. under whose reign the
MAY ran for two years at the Cohen
Grand Theatre in New York and
through n year at the Kinnema The
atre in Los Angeles. The play first
made its debut in 1920. ran three
years in both coast cities. and was
filmatized the early part of 1928.
Most Rawlins people have seen the
screen version. but this should mere
w serve as a means OF more
thorough appreciation of the play to
be put on by the Junior Glass.
Parts have not yet been cast. but
Mr.. Williams expects soon to have
his entire organization hard at work
and expresses the utmost confidence
in securing ability to put the play
over in a big way.
