To refute cynical dogma that

with a per capita of money in
circulaliou of 13 85 the imports
of merchandise amounts i to a
per capita of $11.25 and the

pare these figures ' with ; those
that measure our domestio ex
ports in 1903 and ree if you co
not have a pleisant picture of
home life in our country. In

thai i four time greater than in

three times as much as in i860
but in 1860 the farms furnish
ed 81.13 per cent of our do
mestic exports and in 19)3 but
62.73 per cent. In the 43
years from uuu iucluulug I GOG
the products of our factories ex
portrd increased from, ' $40,345,

than ten fold.
The results of today's road
building meeting will be fir
reaching and of long stand'og.
Of course it is understood that
we will profit by the information
we have received. ?' '

The citizens of this couuty
certainly know more about good
road building today than : they
did yesterday.

The greatest clearing sale of the year. Because of the unusual amount of
merchandise to clear, this sale will largely exceed all our previous July
Clearing Saie.4 in volume, variety of merchandise, and in price reductions.
All broken lines, odd lots, and those assortments of regular merchanaisc
which arc larger than we wish, have been given low price marks that 11
force quick selling. The sale sheets will show enormous losses, but , we
count losses as inevitable during these clearing sales -part of the business.
