Never before in the history of this Institution have we at
tempted a selling event Of greater Importance to the
home makers of the Valley. In order to buy in large
quantities to save you money we have purchased many
cars of new furniture. Our buyer, Mr.. E. E. johnson, has
spent many days at the leading furniture markets of the
country selecting and buying new furniture. With these
shipments arriving daily and our store and warehouse
crowded to capacity we must have more room to take
care of this furniture. In order to make more room our
entire stock of fine furniture will be drastically reduced
in prices for this sale. New history will be made in
value giving during this great sale. We firmly believe
that this sale of fine furniture has never been surpassed,
either in value giving, variety Of selections, or sincerity
of purpose.

Simple Dishes Best
for Small Children

Parents should give particular at
tention to the early formation in their
children of preferences for simple,
wholesome food. Small children will
derive lifelong benefits when taught
to eat simple foods. Only suitable,
wholesome foods should be prepared
and they should be served without
comment.
Discipline is needed to build up
serviceable habits as well as in mod
flying undesirable ones. The mother
must regulate the child's food habits
Just as she would correct any short
coming. Most of all the preschool
child desires to have attention. Scold-
ing for not eating his vegetables in
many cases gives him almost as much
pleasure as would praise. Success
should be praised, but failure ignored,
except, perhaps, by Withholding some
item which he likes as dessert.
If a child persistently refuses to eat
wholesome food, try serving it in dis
guise in small portions. Be sure that
it is Hastily prepared and presented so
as to appeal to his esthetic sensibili-
ties.-Ethel Somers in Liberty.

courage, but she did look up, straight
into his steel-colored eyes. She had
always thought he had the most Won
derful gaze. do you care, Patsy?
| he whispered.
I'm glad for you. Money helps
such a lot" she answered.
There was silence.
"Of course" Curt said. at is nice
to have money"
The music stopped. She olsen
gagged herself from his arms and they
stood chatting in the face of the
whole room She was afraid, how
ever, that her wildly flying heart
made every fiber of her blue dress
stir.
1t was over at last. Jessie sent her
home in the sedan along with others;
the car as full as it could be packed
of laughing, tired, excited girls.
"Birdella won't say word" Emily
Harris remarked. "And Jess won't
either. l don't know who she's going
to marry.
ooh, it's Curt, of course" yawned
Elsie Moe. well all know tomorrow
at Helen Hawkins luncheon. 1t
will be announced then. What do
you think, Patsy?"
Patsy smiled. Haven't an idea"
She didn't sleep until dawn and
then her mother left her undisturbed
until just time to battle and dress for
the luncheon.
Emily Harris came after her again.
to take dad to the station. Curt was
there-going away. But he's coming
back next week. He wanted me to
give you this" She passed note
to Patsy.
Patsy read it, with cheeks coldly
white. She crushed the paper in her
hand, and flung it away. Dear
Patsy" he had scrubbed. "Sorry not
to see YOU again. Fine time last
night. l liked you in that blue dress.
Take good care of it and of yourself.
c. A."
Patsy sat down at the lovely
luncheon table as in dream Bir-
della was wearing orchids and on her
left hand blazed great emerald. The
centerpiece was of bride roses. There
were little crystal baskets full of bon
bons and ribbons and tiny envelopes
at each place. Patsy knew what the
envelope contained. Her fingers trem-
bled as she opened hers and drew out
two visiting cards. One was Biz
della's. The other was-Mr. John
stOn's.
Out of the whirl of laughter and
good wishes Birdella spoke distinctly:
81 suppose Patsy will be the next
one. At least that is what l should
infer from what I've seen," she said.
AS for Patsy she could only sit
there dering-wondering if she
could sew up the rent in her fluffy
blue frock and press it again so it
would be presentable when Curt
came!

Real Ingenuity

Another interesting incident con-
nected with banking, concerns the dis
pute between Lord Darlington and
Jonathan Backhouse. BY collecting
notes of Messrs. Jonathan Backhouse
& Company, with the intention of pre-
senting them for payment at one time,
Lord Darlington hoped to cause the
bank to suspend payments. Jonathan
Backhouse was warned of the posi-
bility and drove post haste to London
to obtain supplies of gold. On the re-
turn journey one of the wheels of the
carriage broke down. To avoid delay
he balanced the coach on three wheels
by placing all the gold on one side of
the vehicle. In this manner he sue
ceeded in reaching Darlington in time
to "save the bank. Mail.

Autumn Rain

At present, the drops come trickling
down the stubble while we lie drenched
on a bed of withered wild oats by the
side of a bushy hill, and the gathering
in of the clouds, and then the regular
dripping of twigs and leaves the
country over, enhance the sense Of in
ward comfort and sociableness. The
birds draw closer and are more
familiar under the thick foliage, SEEM
ingly composing upon their roosts
against the sunshine. What were the
amusements of the drawing room and
the library in comparison, if we had
them here? We should still sing as
of old.-Henry d. Thoreau.
