Not only aro the stores of Klnmath
Falls equal In stock equipment to al
moin uny of the city em)orlums, but
tho up-to-dnto manner In wslch
business Is conducted here is surpris
ing for a place of this size. Tho fnct
may or nuiy not bo reallzod by the
general public, but it Is nevertheless
tiuu that there aro few places In the
country of the size auywhore near
that of Klnmath Fulls, where tho en
terprise of mercantile Interests Is so
emphasized In the display windows aa
In this city.
Not only Is tho quality and variety
shown ulong our Main street of a
very cicdlttiulu nature, but the man
tier In which It Is displayed Is In
many cases worthy of special com
ment. The thought and tlmo given
to tho arrangement of these windows
nuiy not bo appreciated by tho care
less observer, but tho gonulno talent
diapluycd In these effoits Is very np
paient whim' tlmo Is given to study
them cloBely.
Whllo tho motive which inspires
this artful flocoration is primarily in
tended to ndd to tho shekels of the
merchant inside, It is nlso truo thnt
this constant chango of scenery Is a
decided attraction to our Mniu street.
With a class of merchants such ns
nro now iu the local Held, whose com
plete stocks and icasonnblo prices
will bear tho closest scrutiny, and
who have showed themselves during
tho past fow months to make unusual
sacrifices for tho progress of tho
country, it seems most unfortunate
that any will spend their money with
mnll order housos or other Institu
tions without first giving the home
man a chance to bid on the order.
ALLIES SAVED BY
UNITED STATES
LONDON. Sent. 12. "The allies
are lolylug on the United States," as
sorted Bonar Law, chancellqr of the
exchequer, spooking at a luncheon
given Mcdlll McCormlck, an Illinois
congressman, here today.
"Tho Gormans have lately been
saying that the entente are relying
on America as a last hope. As chan
cellor of the exchequer I am ready to
hiiy that I should have been sorry to
have had ti say ttaa: six months hgo,
iinmalv that without' America's finan
clal awUtance, the allies would 'have
been In disastrous straits."
Law said that the greatest mis
take the German made was when they
drove the United States into the war.
