I am fearful that a great many people do not realize what they are going to miss when this store quits. Take, for instance, shoes. They continue to advance In price and dealers see no hope. "Is there any limit to the price to which shoes may advance?" Is the perpetual query of many peo ple. The sky Is the only answer that can be given at this time. Tet we can give you relief, but you must act quickly. There must be no delay. One of Ashland's best women, who can afford to go to Portland or San Francisco for her shoes, has bought four pairs for herself during the past week. She Is wise very wise. Sat urday we are going to sell shoes that you will be paying $5.00 for at $1.98; shoes that you will be paying $6.00 for at $2 .48; shoes that you will be paying $7.00 for at $2.98. Better than that, to fifty women we are go ing to sell fifty pairs of shoes at $1.75, $2.00 and $2.50. You will never see it done again. Just watch the prices go np after this store closes. Take another item, that of hosiery. Manufacturers cannot guar antee dellveiy even at the higher prices. Neither can they guarantee the dye. Only last week Meier & FTank, Portland's big store, adver tised the famous Black Cat hosiery lit the special price of 25 cents per pair, the very Identical hose we are poing to sell Saturday at two pairs for 35 cents. I could go on and fill this entire paper with reasons why you should avail yourselves of the many bargains that will be thrown out Saturday for the last time. Wimer Makes Signed Affidavit State of Oregon, City of Ashland, County of Jackson ss. I, John B. Wimer, being duly sworn, depose and say that the report that has came to me that I have con sidered withdrawing from the race for Recorder on a proposition to take the Chief of Police job is false and untrue. I further certify that such propo sition was put up to me on De cember 9, 10 and 11 and was flatly turned down by me each time for the reason that I am not bound or tied to anyone and cannot be Influenced to sacrifico myself even for a sure thing, much less a promise between lines that if I would withdraw I would be appointod Chief of Police. I further certify that I have not considered sacrificing myself in the estimation of my friends for political purposes, that this affidavit is for no other purpose than to correct, such report, and to let the people know that I am still the loading candidate for Recorder. To all of which I hereby certify. (Signed) JOHN B. WIMER. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 13th day of December, 1916. C. H. GILLETTE. It City Recorder. Ashland . A. F.

Gates, Mediord Strickland Warns Against Fire Risk The crowded condition of the stores and the increased quantity of inflammable material exposed dur ing the Christmas season renders it important to the display man that the electrical wiring in the vicinity of his display shall be practically de void of hazard and that the nature of his decorations and their arrange ment shall be such as to reduce to a minimum the danger of fire from electrical or other causeb. In the furtherance of these objects, the display men in many of the larg er cities are actively co-operating with the electrical inspectors in their effort to exclude hazardous electrical features in connection with such dis plays, and are eliminating the use of cotton batting and other material of a readily inflammable nature for dec orative purposes. It Is now generally recognized that the careless commingling of glaring lights and inflammable merchandise constitutes an objectionable rather than an attractive feature, and the general substitution of safer and more pleasing modes of illumination in show windows and display rooms is proof of the fact that there is no real conflict between the demands of safety and the aim of the dlsplayman to exhibit his goods to the best pos sible advantage. Owing to the more prevalent use of lamps of high cnndlepower, the danger which always attends the ex posure of paper shades or other com bustible material to the heat of in candescent lamps has been greatly increased. This danger is always greater in show-window enclosures or other confined spaces where the ventilation is poor. To avoid such risk it is, therefore, necessary that all Inflammable merchandise or dec orations be kept at a safe distance from lamps and sockets. It is undesirable to use tinsel or other metallic decorations in the im mediate vicinity of lamps as they are liable to work their way into the sockets and cause fire from sliort clrcuitlng. Wires used as supports for mer chandise are liable to become alive If attached to lighting fixtures from which current may leak. It is, there fore, important that all wires and supports used for this purpose shall be suspended from structures that are mechanically secure and not lia ble to electrical derangement.' ,! It is especially desirable that all temporary wiring in the vicinity of the display shall be mechanically and electrically secure and kept out of reach of the careless or inquisitive shopper. As many fires in show windows and display rooms are caused by small defects in the wiring not read ily observed by inexperienced per sons, or from the use of electrically operated specialties and signs of un approved design, it Is very important that the Inspection authorities should be consulted in respect to the safety of such wiring and devices before e.ny attempt Is made to operate them electrically. In brief, it Is only through united action on the part of those .who have an immediate con cern in safeguarding the interests of the merchants and the public that the danger of fire from defective electrical display lighting features in the stores can be avoided, and to that end the co-operation of the display men is earnestly and cordially so licited.
