tain man that he was made to STRIKE
TWELVE but he never struck more
than TEN in his life. /.
Birth, education, opportunity = all
conspired to make him a top-notcher.
He died, however, without having reach
ed the goal quite within his grasp
There are stores just like that man.
They are too good not to be better. In
day when the public demands superlative
service and superior merchandise, it is
folly for any Store not to try to make it's
business STRIKE TWELVE.
The Paais Royal in the great MAY
SALE that is now meriting and securing
the enthusiastic attention Of the public is
eXemplfying some of the outstanding
marks of a Department Store that
STRIKES TWELVE.
1t is demonstrating the wisdom of a
truly progressive management. This is
not the place to indulge in personalities;
nevertheless, the most casual observer of
the Palais Royal during these busy days
of the MAY SALE cannot fail to see OBJ
vious evidences of management that
thoroughly believes in anticipating the
publc's wants. and then supplying them
with the best merchandise that the pub
lie will buy. In organization, buying, dis
playing goods, selling, making small
profits and quick turnovers, the Palais
Royal is thoroughly modern and pro-
gressive.
Another mark of the store that
STRIKES TWELVE is its knowledge of
the needs OF the people who comprise its
clientele. .'hrDWledge is power" in busi-
ness as we'll as in the professions, the
sciences, and elsewhere The BUYERS of
the hfty-nine departments of The Pa1ais
Royal are experts in knowing the wants
of Washington. Comparisons are some
times odious, especially when culture,
refinement. good taste, and education are
questions of consideration. The Palais
Royal knows that because Washington
at its best is 4 cross s-section of the culture
and refinement of the world, only the
best values for money expended will
make a successful appeal to the Wash
ngton public Without this knowledge,
scientific and proper buying is impossible.
Good taste in merchandise is necessary
to satisfy the average Washington
patron. The Pa1ais Royal seeks always
to major in good taste. The present sale
is an excellent illustration.
In America genuine democracy is nee
essary in the policy of a Department
Store that STRIKES TWELVE. This
spirit and policy of democracy must run
clear through the organization of the
store from the manager to the last sales
person employed, if the best cooperation
is to be secured. In this respect, The
Palais Royal is a model. Recognition and
reward of merit go hand in hand with the
spirit of cooperation and good will
among the seven hundred and eighty peo-
pie who comprise the personnel of the
store. Naturally this democracy is re-
fected in the courteous attitude of The
Palais Royal toward it's patrons Because
of this fact, the crowds that are daily
seen in The Palais Royal during the Nav
Sale represent a cross-section of hui
manity

SEDALIA, Mo, August 25-Herman
=. Faris of Clinton, Mo, nominee for
President on the National Prohibition
party ticket, yesterday addressed a
gathering at the Missouri State fair
grounds here, under the auspices of the
Pettis County Women's Progressive
Farmers Association.
He departed from the usual trend of
get political speeches, and quoted
freely from the Scriptures, making a
particular appeal to the women and
church people for the support of the
Prohibition party. He called the atten
~tfon of his listeners to the manner in
which the Lord had used Deborah and
Barak to free the children of Israel and
Gideons little band to destroy the
Midianites.
Sees Chance to Clean Up.
THE Lord is always ready to do
good to His people," Mr.. Faris said
And who shall say that this may
not be the time when He Will use
Brehn and Faris as He did Deborah
and Barak, to utterly destroy the
bootleggers? Or why He .may not
take the numerically small Prohibi-
ton party He did the numerically
insignificant band of Gideon and clean
up our governmental VultureS as the
Midianites were cleaned up"
Mr.. Faris spent little time discuss
ing the two major political parties
dismiSsing them with the statement
that under Democratic and Republi-
can officials the country has had -four
years of notification of the eight
eenth amendment"
Calls Old Parties Alike.
Let ME assure you with positive
ness" he said, that when the Chris
tian man votes the same party poll
tics as does the liquor dealer, the
1Stter is the one who gets the bene-
fit thereof. and not the Christian. 1t
is conceded by clean men, thinking
men. in both parties, that there is no
real difference between the two great
parties. and l challenge you to read
the platforms and speeches of accept
ance by the candidates and see for
yourself Neither party openly
stands for corruption which has been
brought to light in recent congress
sonal Investigations. Although one
party tries to make YOU believe SO,
You know better"
Mr.. FariS declares that during the
fifty-year history of the Prohibition
party it has promulgated originated
and fought for every reform meas
ure that has been enacted into law,
through our national Congress-"

CATER Whitebeak plants cedar,
plants young and thrifty tree; 1t
seems idle, gentle reader, for his age
is eighty-three; ere that cedar tree
can shade him CATER will have
passed away, and the sexton will
have laid him on mattress made
of clay. 1T is true / may be rest
ing i'll the place of bones" quoth he,
when the dicky-birds are nesting in
this handsome cedar tree; but my
spirit may inhabit some such crea-
ture OF the air, or it may .infest a
rabbit that is nibbling here and
there; as around this spot it hovers
i'll a robin or a bee, it may we'll be-
hold the lovers seated by this cedar
tree. And perchance the young will
bless me as around the tree they
tread. and their voices will caress me
though I've been a long time dead.
If we cut out all our planting lest
we die before we reap, this old
world. that's so enchanting, would
be just place to weep. So | plant
my little treelet which may grow to
great renown. if the rabbits do not
peel it, ii the cows don't tramp it
down." This is better far than say

what's the profit, then, in spraying
