How much does 2 and 2 make?
Figuring the advantages Of buying
from Bozeman merchants is as sim
pie as that. It is a question Of ele-
mentary arithmetic. When an Out-of-
town merchant begins talking "quan-
tity buying and quantity selling"
he is trying to confuse you with high
sounding terms so as to make you
lose sight Of the fundamental issue.
All you have to do in that case IS
to get out pencil and paper to bring
him down to brass tacks.
Figures are bound to tell the truth
What do they show US?
Big Town is 100 miles from Boze-

Bargain Counter Lure.
Furthermore, this kind Of buyer is
also the victim Of the bargain coun-
ter" The very words are a lie.
Such goods are cheap for the very
good reason that the Big Town mer-
chant wants to get rid of them at any
cost. They may be shelf worn, or out

they would be high at any price.
After you get back home, if you
are dissatisfied with some of your
purchases, you can't exchange them,
because the cost of another trip
makes that %prohibitive.
IF you have come from such a trip
recently, price the things you bought
in Big Town at the Bozeman stores
and strike a balance on the profits
and losses Of the trip. That will con-
vince you beyond argument as to why
you should buy Of the home mer-

SOUTH GEORGIA
HOTELSPAXED
Valdosta and Waycross Hotels
Being Filled to Overlooking
Every Night

MACON, Ga, Nov. 7.-Hotels in
Valdosta and Waycross are being
filled to Overlooking every night, ac-
cording to reports brought here yes
terday by travelling men.
G R. Barnwell, who has been
stopping at hotels in those cities for
years, said last night that he tried
to get accommodations in both cities
and failed. He said that he thought
the hotel men were not treating the
commercial men right, who had been
keeping the hotels going during lean
years, not to make provision for their
Accommodations when business was
booming.
However, I'm glad both cities are
booming" said Mr.. Barnwell. "The
rush is going to extend to Macon
before We realize it. We're bound
to get a good share of it."
Mr.. Barnwell said that he found in
Valdosta property was changing
hands in some cases two and three
times in a day.
On the strength of the situation
in Southern Georgia, one Valdosta
man who owns property in Macon
and who had held it for $1,000, yes
terday raised the price to $500
and said that he might ask more. In
fact, he wasn't very anxious about
selling it with the bright out look
ahead.

ANSLEY STARS

Star in Locals ~ too
Victory

Featured by spectacular plays by
Ansley tho Americas High yesterday
handed ythe Ashburn High defeat to
the tunesot q to 0.
Other stars in the great victory for
the local boys were Swain, Bell and
Easterlin. For Ashburn there were
no stars.
Fans expected to see close score
in this game and were disappointed
in the poor show made by the Ash
burn boys.
Ansley was easily the hero of the
day scoring two touchdowns for
Americas. 1t seemed that it was i'm
possible for any Of the opponents to
stop him. He is without the great
est football player seen in High
School games this year. He will be
a big star for some College team.
There was only one unpleasant
thing about the game and that was
the poor craftsmanship of the visit
ing team. Had they been penalized
every time they deserved it, the score
would have been about 81 to O.
Their men were continually holding
and using rough unnecessary tactics.
There is one certainty, Americas
High School team step and the i'm
provement that they have made since
they played DdEson High here is just
about 100 per cent.
In the matter of first downs Amer
icus made 16 and Ashburn 4. Coach
Mckee was loud in his praise for the
wonderful work displayed by his
boys yesterday.
