FRIDAY, A SpecidlSale of Woolen Fabrics WEIGHTS SUITABLE FOR SUMMER COATS, ; SUITS, AND DRESSES War prices have caused almost everybody to feel that wool fabrics were considerably out of reach of ‘the average purse. They were, tco. But we have made that right in the list which follows. We have taken a number of very desirable staple wocl weaves, and have reduced the prices to the point where they are actual bargains. Before the season is too far advanced you should have the Suit or Coat, or Frock, or Skirt made—and if you would" do it at the smallest cost, you will buy the materials in our Dress Goods Department. 0 FRENCH SERGE 54-Inches wide, suit weight ch.

I read somewhere, the other day, of a New Jersey tr garden in which 11,000,000 onion sets had just been put out. They covered sixty acres'and it was computed that somebody had to | crawl 500 miles on his knees to set them out. I set out’four quarts the other day.

He picked a whole country of the best land he could find in seven states, so rich with its accumulated and hither- to uncropped fertility that it needed no manuring, and farmed on such a scale that it took 140 mule teams to cultivate his corn; that he could buy his clover seed by the car-load and factor may determine the success or failure of a business.”—W.
