Now for Spring
For monthhs we have been planning tbe ooming spring oampaign.
New goods are already arriving at frequent" intervals while many more
are on tbe way.
In order that no new or otherwise desirable items might be over
looked, our buyers are now'sconring the eeastern markets, and seeing tu it
that we own our merchandise at tbe lowest possible landed costs. In spite
of advancing markets we will be atle to nfter our customers most items
for as little and in some oases less than heretofore.
More stress than ever before will be laid on quality, ever keeping in
mind tbe faot that "The sweetness of low prices neverequala the bitter
ness of poor quality." The best is being culled from all lines for all
tastes and all purses.
All over this great store, even in our exchange department on the third
floor, our customers are protected against possible costly errors by our
"Satisfaction or your money back" guarantee. With us th is means re
fund promptly' and cheerfully without quibbling or protest. Unlets our
friends are pleased we are not. ,
Wherever possible our service is to be Jimproved to the end that we may
merit in still greater volume tbe favors of our old iriends and secure the
confidence and ptaronagejof the ever increasing number of new citizens
in our midst. I

One of the best prcgrame of the year
was Arbor day program, given in tbe
High School room. All tbe grades
participated and did nioely.
: Tbe attendanoe of some of tbe grad
es has been fery irregular. Students
can not sustain interest in their work
and be indifferent in attendance. No
one of intelligence ever asserted that
good sohool work could be done with
out some daily preparation.-' Parents
should know this and see that tbeir
obildren bring books home, especially
is this true in the advanced grades.
Sohool is a faroe and a mookery where
pupils expeot to get through without
au effort upon their part. Some pat
rons may not be aware of the absence
of tbeir children Closer cooperation
will solve this matter. The teaohers
have written personal letters to many
patrons oonoerning absenoe, hence tbe
sohool should not be held responsible
for any failure due to irregular attendanoe.
Tbe traok team of tbe Athena sohool
is making great improvement under
tbe efficient ooaohing of Maurice Hill.
