I hate given a good many thou­ sand performances, but I feel that I have still to give my best one, and I somehow have the suspicion that when a fellow feels that way about bis Wor, there is hope for him.

' * * ’ ' ' ' t Your Protection Against Advancing Prices If there ever was a time when July Sales had any real meaning, that time is now and here. Why, every dollors worth of merchandise in this store is .an actual bargain in comparison wfth wholesale costs as existing today. And yet. lower prices prevail on hundreds of sale lots. Every reader of the newspapers knows how prices have gone up on wools, cottons, silks—everything in fact. How war taxes have been applied to almost everything and how Americans are patriotically paying them. But what is still more significant, the top has not yet been reached. Probably never in our history has it been such a definate advantage to buy in July to anticipate every need. We wouldn’t want to magnify conditions or values if we could, but the facts are that no exageration that can be imagined is half as strong as the bare truth about the goods in this store or the importance of the year’s July Sales. Buy for N ow and for Fall as Well You’re Sure to Sav e on Suits, Coats, Skirts, Waists, Undcrmuslins, Silksv Dre«i Dood$, WashGoods, Domestics, Hosery, Underwear, Gloves, Linens, Beddings, Curtains, Draperies, Rugs, Linoleums, Window Shades, Outings, Blankets, Comforts, Etc. We began planning for these July offerings many months ago. We visited many mills, bought liberally when prices were much lower than today. Everything in the sale is of Home Store standard and is Home Store guaranteed. It is a sale that no one can afford to miss that’s wanting merchandise.

The result was the President threw up his hands and told them to do it on their own re­ sponsibility. From this .we infer the liquor men have taken no part in pestering the President, they are a considerate bunch. The only reason they oppose war prohibition is because they are sure “ we will lose the war if it should" pass." Yes, they are ail patriotic! >* * There is ah old book which contains a story, which, if it could be placed in the President’s hands might help him solve his present dilemma. It is that of a ease brought by a widow t o ,a judge who did not claim to possess any o f the good qualities of our President.. But the widow who appealed to this judge may well rep­ resent the thousands who have and are still appealing to the President for deliverance from this cruel ad­ versary, the legalized liquor traffic. The judge, like the President, was annoyed with her persistency, but in­ stead of continuing to turn her away he wisely decided the speediest way to get rid of her was to grant her request. If President. Wilson wants to end the pestering, there is one, and only one way to do it, and that is to grant the prayer of the petitioners who want the liquor forever abolished. ■»»55 * We pay your fares both ways on pur-, chases of $15 or over, S P R IN G F IE L D , O H IO .

H ERE is a superb company made up ot people who are brave enough and strong enough to get entirely away from the conventional and singing the dear old songs we all have learned to love. The name ot the com­ pany, "Tlio Old Home Singers," gives a clear insight Into the character of their program. ' Every member of the company is an artist Their songs range from the grand old classics to the most popular ot all jingles, but every song has a story, every tune has a history, every note is the echo of beloved days gone by, gone forever, except as they are expressed to fickle memory by such means as this.
