Clearance Sale of
Womens' Suits
Price cut Averages
One Third
Such price reducing is nothing short of wonderful is it? Beyond
that ita unprecedented and unmatchable. considering the season. It
encourages immediate buying as no suit offerings ever did.
"Encourages" we say, more than that, it demands or compels
buying. Savings of one half on a stylish, seasonable, and needed suit
is far too unusual to resist.
No thrifty, prudent woman whose wardrobe has room for one of
these suits will attempt to resist such opportunities. And we expect
many women will take two or three or even a half a dozen.

MARKDOWN?

plained the object of the services. "Nine
teen hundred years ago" he said' "ther
lived and walked a man whom the world
called perfect. Since this divine ma'nV
day, the world has been striving to equal
the precedent established by Christ, but ',
nons have succeeded.
The fundamental principles of Christ
were charity and justice. On these prin
ciples are built the principles of the order
of Benevolent and Protective Elks." Mr.
Cochran followed his opening remarks by
a bsautiful tribute to thoss of the order
who have passed away.

undiscoved country Altho this tablet may
appear to be a small meane of recolection

their good example.
For number of years we suffered M
dimunition of our membership by death,

Those of you who knew them intimately
can recall the good they did and the
kindness rendered needy persons. You
know their virtues their ideals, their hopes
and fears, and to use the idea ?of a great
orator, if a bud were placed upon their
coffins for every good deed each had dona
they would be buried 'neath a wilderness
of flowere.
These men were good citizens, good
brothers, good husbands, fathereani sons.
