Spring Clothes for Boys More Attractive Than Ever There isn't a Boys' or Children' i store thai can offer you better clothes than we can. That is be cause we sell Xtragood clothes for Boys. The. New Spring Suits for Boys are Here Mothers should look for the points in a boy's suit that will cause it to told its shape and good ap pearance under the rough treat ment that boys usually give. ! XTRAGOOD is re inforced at e very "strain point". Trousers are full lined with extra strong t will lining. Special canvas coat fronts and seams piped to prevent breaking give the garment do uble life as compared with ordi-nary clothing. The fabrics and colorings are new and attractive The tailoring is as good as that in the clothing made for men and the prices are moderate.

Hut in a republic the patriotic citizen doe not take a spasmodic interest in it arfffairs. Iead the correspondence of Washington, Jefferson and Hamil ton. Hardly a letter thiit does not manifest deep and sin cere devotion to country. Never was patriotism more needed than today, when we are beset with so many vexing and difficult problems.

Calmly and serenely President Wilson is steering the fsliip of state. With a Congress composed of men repre senting many diverse and conflicting elements, he has mapped out a course which should be followed by con gress and by all citizens, remembering that Wilson, like Lincoln, li.'is no desire for war, that he is a man of peace slow to anger, but a man who will fight to protect his country's rights when the limit of his patience and endur ance has been reached. And if he does fight it will be in a righteous cause and the people of ttw United States will Approve his policy in giving battle.
