OUR' OWN UNITED STATUS first showed her interest ami desire to aid the Allies by subscribin;,' an immense loan. 15y tlii.s trust, by this grant iiu; of credit a feeling of confidence and friendliness has been established a mutual understanding that years cannot eradicate. Between business concerns, credit is very old in fact, it is almost as old as the business itself. Credit is merely business faith , between men faith in the assumption that both parties will play fair. This store has used the credit system for years in the past, ' each year strengthening its policy of fair dealing and courtesy to every one each year adding to its list of customers and friends until now it can count hundreds of charge accounts, both in and out of La (irande. Credit between a business house and an individual has grown in these thirty years until personal credit is now applied not only to the purchase of everything for the home, bat even the home itself. It lias made comfort and luxurv possible in all the millions of homes throughout America, which otherwise would have been the barest of homes with the most meager of pleasures. From .the furnishing of the home has come the next step up that of buying clothing for the entire family on personal credit. Today the individual walks into our store and uses his credit i:i exactly the same was as any business concern walks into it. bank or into the .manufacturing market and uses its business credit. Everyone who deals with us has that confidence of fair dealing that confidence of surety and trust that years of honest endeavor have established. We are proud proud of the fact that we have taken the lead among credit and even specialty stores of the city proud of tlv. fact that the quality o&our merchandise is the highest to be found any when proud that our styles in man instances surpass huv shown in the city proud that we are able to offer this friendly personal credit this pact between our customers and ourselves . that merits their friendship and good will. Do you know that we do an immense cash business and that no reduction is allowed simply because we charge nothing extra tor Credit? Our credit is an added service that has brought us trade' and holds trade for us. No red tape no old form leas..':-' or contracts to sign simply a friendly, trustful understanding and agreement. Hundreds of people have thirty-day charge accounts wit!: us others pay by the month others semi-monthly and s'ili others by the week each person decides for, himself which wa would be the. more convenient. The credit between nations that is established for mutual benefit is that same credit that we offer you, in a lesser way a clean, straightforward business proposition open to those who wish to take advantage of' it sane, sensible and convenient.

Aside from the trifling difference that the llolslicviki enjoyed, at least temporarily, the power to do as they chose whereas Mr. Uerger is merely abusing the liberality of the most liberal country on earth, the two proposals are identical. IJceause the Holshcviki were aide to do what Socialist Merger wants to do, Russia lies prostrate and helpless in the grip of the kaiser. Vast areas of her territory are to be torn bodily away from her, and their inhabitants are to be given over to the peculiarly horrible fate that awaits those who live in regions 'colonized" by (ierniany. Russia's ports are to be taken away and she is to be con pelled to pay commercial tribute perpetually as a vassal of (Ierniany. So it is perfectly easy to see what Mr. Merger desires for the country that has given him a home and enabled him to reach a station in life where he can aspire to the high office of United States senator. hand" and due on' outstanding contracts 7,5(i4,000 field shoes and 7,.S7:J,00t) inarching shoes, ft will be necessary to secure more than a million additional shoes during the vear. -o- passed a perfect examination.
