Several weeks ago we held our first sale Of
these famous Queen Make" Wool Jersey
Dresses. Judging by the success of that sale,
and the inquiries we have since had as to when
we would hold a similar one, this announcement
will be joyfuly received. We have new ASSERT

new arrivals we consider even more charming than
those in the former sale.

Some are in plain, others in two-tone combi-

John w. Davis's speech is out and
it is all about honesty. You read
it all, of course. Unlike LaFollette,
Mr.. Davis avoids mentioning the Ku
Klux Khan by name. Whether this
will help or hurt remains to be seen.
Klansmen know that he was point
