Scott of the Scott Clothing company, 240 South Center street. will turn his store over to the public for one week beginning February 2 and ending February 9. Everyone during this: time is invited to come in and look the store over from top to bottom without the necessity of buying anything at all. * However Mr. Scott has decided to mark al’ his merchandise down 20 per cent so that ther inducement for the take antage of sor a e offered. Each article is to carry its original price tag with the retail price on it. A 20 per cent re- duction is then given. Two years ago the Scott Clothing company held a elmilar event and the store was crowded to capacity. This time the management is con- vinced that buyers will not be able to keep away from the store because will be a real of the exceptional opportunities Deing offered. Shoes. ats, hose, dress shirts, suits, vercoats, and numerous other articles of clothing will be sold at cost or below cost. The sale is the most sensational staged by this company in many months. JEWEL AUCTION SET SATURDAY An auction sale staged by a Jeweler is usually an event, and from all indications the one which will be opened tomorrow by the Ayres Jewelry company in the Smith-Turner drug store. is going to be one of the record-breaking events of the season. C, M. Ayres, pro- prietor of the ertablishment, {s au- thogfty for the statement that this auction sale which is promptly purpose of staying in busl- re is much valuable mer- ned by the store, but will not pay bills and ason the management d to turn a large amount ot jewelry, diamonds, watches, and silverware, into ready cash. Everything which is owned by the Ayres Jewelfy store is high grade. Everything also is going to be put on the auction block. Nothing is reserved. Casperites desiring to obtain handsome things at auction prices need only yisit the Ayres store to- morrow afternoon. The auction will be continued for several days but it is obvious that those who come earliest will have the best opportunity of obtaining the things they particularly desire. _Mrs. Katherine Montgomery of the Montgomery Real Estate com- ny has returned from the Pacific ebast where she has been visiting since before the Christmas holi- days. is Se Former Governor and Mrs. B.

H. Reimerth, commander of the George W. Vroman post of the American Legion and . accountant who read a paper on the subject of such securities, “It can be seen that those of our wealthier class who are riding a’ong holding tax exempt securities are not paying their full share toward the national expense, and somebody else has got to carry the tax bur- den,” he said. Earned income is obliged to share the increasing bur- den rather than unearned income. Mr. Mellon's theory is that a cut in sur-taxes to a maximum of 25 per cent will take money out of tax- exempt securities and put it into industry, but even with a cut in sur taxes and money going into indus- try, as Mr, Mel'on says, we will still have our tax exempt securities which will continue to be the one big weak sister in our national tax system.” J. R. Lloyd of the Lioyd Building company and Charles Anda of the Natrona County Abstract company and formerly county commissioner, were the two principal persons who discussed the court house bond question. These gentlemen took dlametrica’ty opposite views on the matter. Mr. Anda presented sketches of a possible solution to the problem which provided for the construction on each end of the present building of wings which would cost about $65,000. Another method, according to Mr. Anda would be to build a separate jail and use the present jail quarters as vault space. Mr. Lioyd stated his aversion to building any addition to the present court house and brought out the advisability of opening center street. Natrona county owns enough ground in the vicinity of the court house to pay for ha'f the cost of the pro- posed $5,000,000 bond issue accord. ing to the opinion of this speaker. The Rev, Charles A. Wilson will speak to the Realtors at their meet- ing next week. FORMER PRESIDENT WILSON NEAR DEATH AT HOME IN WASHINGTON (Continued from Page One) Dr. Grayson on his réturn to Washington yesterday ‘confirmed that diagnosis and said he did not at that time regard the attack as serious unless it stould fail to yield to treatment. The change during the night, how- ever, manifestly aroused grave fears of Dr. Grayson and Mrs. Wilson, who has been the faithful attendant of her husband since the first symp- toms of his collapse became mani- fest during the western trip four and a half years ago. Today she notified all the members of Mr. Wil- son's family of his condition, at the suggestion of Dr. Grayson. None of his three daughters is in Washing: ton.

Fowler, a Washington kidney specialist who had treated Mr. Wil- son previously, to remain on watch. Dr. Grayson said tne step was taken “as a precationary measure.” News of the ch-nge for the. worse spread rapidly throughout Washing- ton as alarming rumors. were dis- seminated over the whole country during the night by radio broadcast- ing stations. Early this morning before Dr. Grayson had issued his bulletin, messages of sympathy and encouragement began arriving by the thousands, President Coolidge was one of the first to convey his expressions of regret.
