These sales are store-wide, and right in line with the policies inaugurated last February.
However, these sales are wider in scope, even more remarkable than the previous two
month-end sales, because they bring quantities of the most desirable new wanted spring
merchandise at especially good savings.
Much of this merchandise has been in the house but a few weeks and the prices are
reduced only because under our new policy we prefer to "turn merchandise ove" quickly,
that is, where assortments are incomplete and lines and sizes broken, we take a reduction
price right away and use the proceeds for buying a new, fresh stock.
Read this page carefully. While many items have been given but small space, they are quite as important as though the space and type were many times
their size. If you attended the previous sales, you will appreciate the importance of shopping early. While some lots are large enough to last throughout
two days, many will not be here for more than a few hours, and in some instances there are but one or two items of a kind.

MORE SERIOUS NOW
Tin Kirr Before Brniiw mt War
Rrdareti Reaerve St react b.
The war has been far-reaching In
Its effects. It has caused worry and
anxiety in every home, and has af
fected the health of every family. It
has aggravated chronic, troubles. In
creased their tenacity and mad all
epring ailments more serious.
As a result, a blood-purifying, stomach-toning
spring medicine is more nec
essary this year than ever.
People still take Hood's garsaparilla
because it is an old family friend, has
proved its merit to three generations
as a spring and all-the-year-round
medicine in purifying the blood, ex
pelling humors, restoring appetite, re
lieving rheumatism, banishing that
tired feeling.
Jt combines, roots, barks, herba and
berries often prescribed by physicians
for sprin; ailments of the blood, stom
ach, liver and kidneys. Hood a Fills are
a good cathartic. Adv.
whom some malevolent agencies have
snarled up in a tangle of artificiali
ties? Would it not nelp progress?
Before they are anything else they
are simple folks who have to make a
living and want a chance to sit in
safety about their humble firesides and
to dress up in their gayest garb on
feast days and dance together in the
village squares. They are folks before
they are Serbs or Bulgars or Greeks or
Albanians or Turks. The elemental
human needs dominate them. Hunger
and cold and suffering they endure
bravely and splendidly when it seems
necessary. They are not pacifists, and
they love honor more than life, and
they are a bit quick on the trigger.
Nevertheless they are only simple,
docile, loyal peasant folk who have not
got on very far in the scale of educa
tion. Therefore they have been blindly
obedient to slogans and symbols and
leaders.
Mtaatloa Made .Complicated.
That is fact No. 1 about the Balkans.
The elemental simplicity of the case
has been obscured by a welter of dif
ficult names. The "experts" on the
Balkan question talk in terms which
only confuse the average person.
Boundaries are discussed as if they
were as sacred as the decalogue. An
entirely unwarranted importance . is
given to minor consideration. Racial
statistics are treated with a venera
tion which if applied to America would
send the nation flying into fragments
within a year. "Nationality is made
a fetich by all who deal with the
Balkans, and the premise is calmly as
sumed that no Cireek can live under
Albanian rule, no Serbian under Greek
rule, no Bulgar under Roumanian rule,
no Roumanian or Turk under Bulgar
rule, and so on ad infinitum. Imagine
trying to parcel out the government of
any American city on this basis.
In simple reality these Balkan peo
ples are mostly shepherds and farmers
and a bit nomadic. They are moved
about so much, often perforce, that
on people has Interpenetrated another.
Just as there are Jewish and Italian
and negro settlements in most Ameri
can cities, none of which ever dreams of
claiming self-government as a right, so
there are groups of villages of each
of these Balkan peoples in the terri
tory ruled by others. Within a square
ten miles one may find Bulgar, Turk,
Serbian, Greek and Roumanian settle
ments. The peninsula is a sort of
ethnological archipelago. Racial Islands
dot it.
Racial Tangle Inextricable.
No power, not even the peace confer
ence, can disentangle these. Neither
the principle of nationality nor of his
torical boundaries may be fully applied.
As everybody who knows this part of
the world fully understands, the princi
pie of nationality may easily be re
duced to an absurdity. There Is no
power on earth, or yet to be cr- .ted in
Paris, that can put each of these
Balkan peoples under a government of
its own nationality.
The racial tangle is simply inextrica
ble. And the artificial stress that has
been laid upon race and religion has
kept alive antagonisms that would long
since have subsided, had they ever ex
isted. For these people are just plain
folks, simple and kindly and hospitable,
and ready to be neighborly if their
"leaders" would cease to Incite them
to hatred. The considerations that
separate these villages one from an
other are mostly artificially created
and stimulated. Supplant these influ
ences by a cult of tolerance and good
will and establish stern, quick and
even-handed justice among them at the
bands of a supreme power, and they
would In a generation be getting along
as amicably as the Pennsylvania Ger
mans with the Pennsylvania Scotch
Irish. Balkan states there must be, for the
present at least. The passionate and
unextinguishable devotion of these peo
ple to their histories insures that. Op
pression has only intensified their
patriotism. But these states may be
created along common-sense lines with
respect to the rights of all and without
any undue effort to put every man
under his own flag. That question may
later be settled by migration, if it is as
sacrosanct as many authorities contend.
