FIVE We have many less Suits now than we usually have at this time of the year, as these were , mostly bought during the last of April, they are all ex tremely late and snappy, as manufacturers tell us suits will be much high er in the Fall, and many of our suits will be suit able for Fail. We have hesitated in making any sacrifice, but as we only have a limited stock we have decided to sacrifice all suits for Price OF Girls' Gass to Show Exercises and Do Plain and Fancy Cooking The physical training department of 1lie high Hchool and the manual train ing will give a public exhibition next Friday evening.

The old fac tional fight between the east and west sides of the county, originating nearly half a century ago in a contest for the county seat between Dallas and Independence, but which has lain dor mant for the past decade, burst out with all its bitterness two weeks ago, following tho filing of an injunction 'suit to stop the extensive road and bridge work now being done in Inde pendence by the county. It played an important part in the primary election Friday. The fight waged tho hottest around the nomination for county commis sioner. Wells Got Support. The Independence faction supportefl George A. Wells, Republican incum bent, whose home is at Buena Vista. Dallas, which claims not to have had representation on tho county court for many years, backed Mosc Manstom. Manstom received only 34 votes in In dependence, and Well's got only 54 in Dallas. Manstom, however, was nomi nates! by a plurality of liiil. The third candidate for commissioner, Colonel Shepherd, was almost lost sight of in ine neat n tne controversy, receivintr but 243 votes in the county. The sectional fight was felt by other candidates, particularly those for repre sentative. Independence backed W. J. Clark, editor of the Independence En terprise, while Dallas generally sup ported Captain Conrad Ktafrin , but gave some votes to Mrs. Ella .1. Metz ger. Again Dallas was victorious, Staf rin winning with a clear majority of 208. The results on district attorney on the Republican ticket, and assessor on the Democratic, ticket, were without doubt determined by this fight between the two towns. Walter I Tooze, Jr., of Dallas, defeated B. F. Rwoope of Inde pendence for attorney by about .10, while Carl B. Fenton had a narrow mar gin over F. E. Meyer for assessor. The two tickets are: These Were Successful Rpublican Joint representative, W. V. Fuller; representative, Conrad Staf- I rill ; district attorney, W. L. Toow, Jr.; I sheriff, John W.

Tho impression that peace is near is gaining in strength daily. Germany undoubtedly desires a settlement if sat isfactory terms can be arranged. Un fortunately, while positive efforts may be made in this direction, the outlook for immediate success is doubtful. Each of the allies have heavy demands to make upon Germany, demands to which she is not likely to consent. Great Bri tain,, Russia and France are on the as cendant of power in a greater degree than at any time since the war began. They have not yet had a full oppor tunity to assume tho offensive and Btrike their jslrongest blow, without which it seems certain they will not consent to peace. Therefore, while the desire for peace exists, and while some preliminary efforts in its direction are entirely within tho range of probabil ity, the outlook for an actual suspen sion of hostilities appears remote. The Mexican trouble neems to have passed out of serious consideration as a market factor, although still a source of con- siderable anxiety to the administration! at Washington. Politics also BDnear to be a factor of minor importance from ' the business standpoint, and this cam- paign is attracting less interest than : any presidential contest in many years, ' mainly or course because it is over shadowed in the public mind by war in Europe and our own difficulties with Mexico. The labor outlook is causing consider able perplexity iu industrial circles, i Wages have advanced in many instan-1 ces, especially in munition plants, as a result of war profits. It is recognized, I however, that war profits are purely j ephemeral, and that when peace comes, as it might within a year, these will quickly melt away, including the extra profits enjoyed by many of the indus trials outside of the war group.. There aro really two points of view regarding the labor outlook. One is that when the war is over, if not before, there will be a slump in everything pertaining to the munitions industry; that a sharp international struggle will immediately begin for the markets of the world; that Europe will be on a much lower cost basis than tho United States; that in consequence our exports o'f manufac tures, which nearly trebled iu the last nine months, wouid shrink back to their formor basis; and that consequently there will be over-production and a sharp industrial setback followed by lower prices and vanishing profits. It is quite certain that sooner or later some readjustment will be necessary, if we aro to meet foreign Aiinpctition and gain the firm footing in the world's foreign markets which is becoming a. nntional ambition. Profits will have to return to normal, and costs will un doubtedly be reduced. But the question that chiefly perplexes managers is, will labor be willing to accept its share of the inevitable readjustment! Probab ly not, anrj this is a difficulty that may have to be solved before many months have passed. There is still an other point of view, which is this: Keen foreign competition may admittedly be unavoidable when the war is over; but it is argued that we will be better pre pared to meet that competition than is generally supposed. Foreign compe tition, it is argued, will not be so severe as many imagine, because wages in Europe will remain relatively high owing to tho reduced supply of labor and tho excessive taxes which labor will have to aid in paying.. Further more, neither Germany nor Great Bri tain will waste much time before en deavoring to regain lost ground; their recovery and readjustment will neces sarily be gradual; consequently while labor here may resist a readjustment, it will probably gradually- compromise as leaders come to realize irresistible conditions. Such are the widely diver gent views of the labor outlook. It is a question it either, view is entirely correct, and a solution in all probabil ity will be found between the two. An important factor in the labor outlook will be the immigration movement; some authorities expecting a large out flow from this country when peace ar rives, while others anticipate a large influx. The latter is the most prob able, because of the unwillingness and the difficulties whic) soldiers will ex perience in returning to their former COMB SAGE TEA Iff 10 II Grandma Kept Her Lochs Dark, Glossy, and Youth with Sage Tea and Sulphur The old-time mixture of Page Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grandmother's recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair l good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in en age when a youthful appearance is Of the greatest advantage. Nowadays, though, we don 't have the troublesome task of gathering the Slge and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the readv-to-use product improved by the addition of other In gredients, called "Wycth's Sago and .Sulphur Compound" for about 50 cents a bottle. It is very popular because no body can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush witii it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disap pears, but what delights the Indies witn Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that, besides beautifully darkening the hiir after a few aplicatious, it al so produces that soft lustre and appear ance of abundance which is so at tractive. This ready-to-use preparation is a delightful toilet requisite for taos woh desire a mor youthful appearance, (t is not intended for the cure, ui'tigl tion or prevention of disease. European War occupations. Moreover, the better op portunities offered in this country will attract large numbers from countries where depression is keenest. Great Bri tain is already calculating upon many of her men leaving the United King dom, and is planning to divert them to he colonies; Canada already being en gaged in nmkinsr plans and inducements for their coming. A largo influx to this country must nlso be expected trom Russia, Hungary, Italy and possibly from Germany; though tho latter is problematical nod would be offset by fhe large number expecting to return to the Fatherland for family and tin nncial reisons as well as from motives of cariosity and interest. '"he effect of th.) wnr upon our for eign irade can be realized by iV fn.'t That between its commencement in .1014 and the etnd of Inst March, our exports cave retched the stupendous total of nearly $4,000,00l),0u0. Our imports dur ing th? snmo period were almost $1, 000,000,000, so that tho excess exports during the war period have been ap proximately :t,000,,)00,000. In addition we exported 71,000,000 of silver, net, and our net imports of gold were over $120,000,000. How is thi3 huge indebt edness being adjusted f Credit and loans have been gra.itj upon a gigantic p"ale, while the return of securities, of which thero has ben no accurate esti mate, must also have been nocuous in volume; very large sums still being in the hands-of locnl f'cnncinl institutions as coilateiai. It is well ki.'.wn that American railroads, whoso wants have lately been put at l,u00,P00,000 yearly, have made "unusually small security is sues, for the reason that the ordinary investment demand for railroad issues seems to hae been i mply satisfied by foreign offerings, V',H wliiih ti e high rates now commanded by capital discouraged new applications. Thus far our merchandise exports show no symp toms of abating. Til'! shipments Inst week from New York amounted to $57, 000,000 and since the first of January have reached 90(1,100 000, compared with ti(i,000,000 a year ego. The Bri tish blockade is showiig its effects by practically an entire stoppage of ship ments to the Central Powers, and also by a large miminutio'i in the exports to neutral countries aiitigunus to the central powers. In March the exports to Holland were only 1 10,000,000, a de crease of $13,000,000 compared with a year ago, and exports to Denmark weer 5,000,000, a decrease of $li,000,0()0 while tho exports to iS.veuen were $4, 000,000, a decrease of $14,00,000. In this connection it may be mentioned that the United Ktnt js is not the only neutral nation that hus made big prof its out of the war, .Tnp&'i Holland, Den mark and Sweden having also benefited largely. 'lhe rise in securities outside of mu nition shares which a re a law unto themselves has boe.i sensibly check ed by foreign sales in tins market and a realization that the proent tbnormnl activity in business e: inot indefinite ly continue. Alrcad there are signs of a halt in the upward movement of commodities, Pnulstrert r. index num ber for May 1 being 11.7485, against 11.7508 April 1. The May index 'num ber shows a rise of our 10 per cent, compared with a year pge and has been chiefly due to the advonce in metils. chemicals and such materials as were consumed by the requirements of war. There are growing i nry; hunts of the increased costs of doing business, and not a few enterprises h-iv- been deter red owing to the high ecit of construe- irL. i; ; 1 i; ; ! non. ine policy ui increased iiiscnmi-j nation on the part of bankers and lend ? ers is also exerting a restraining influ ence upon new husino.s.?. The outlook for the stock market is somtxvhat confused by numerous cross currents. Munition sha-es were unfav orably influenced by pence talk, and may be adversely affected still further as the iimo grows near tor ending hos tilitiea. The weakness of this class of securities, which nbsiLed so much speculative attention, naturally affect ed the entire market. I he most en couraging feature lut-'ly has been the decided strength of tne railroad shares and a few of the be'ter class industri als. For reasons that aro well kiirtivn railroad shares have been thought to be more attractive and sa'er as invest ments, especially as their financial con dition has been much improved by lib 'rul gains in enrnnig, besides which public hostilitity is on tho wnne, and the possibility of a ntrikc is viewed with less npprehensi ).i than a month ago. There has been no men inflation in railroad securities as developed in some of the industrials and commodi ties, the only reason for this being the con-ifant pressure of foreign liquida tion. Peace prospects naturally after railroad shares favorably inasmuch as ending of thu war wool 1 lesson the ne eossity of foreign liquidation. There is plenty of capital awuiting invest ment, und railroads aro ertitlcd to pref erence on tneir intrinsic merits. HlC.VRY CLEWS.
