We frankly admit that the season- has been against this de- partment, -while we have had our share of the business, we do not want to carry over our present stock, and to overcome this question we are putting on sale Ftiday and Saturday every Coat in stock at reduced prices. Remember we do not'quote halt price as these prices are not in cossistency with our method of profit at the beginning of the season, viz,, making the early buyers pay for the clean outs. Come -to this store Friday and Saturday for good values in Ladies or Children's Coats. Our Profit Furs Friday & Saturday The same reason as above applys to our Fur Stock.

These pante are altogether independent • the ordinary Government grants I or the . grants, to teaeherts on the t ing part in Model School work. .Now in view of the above con- di,tions-how would matters staucl were there no Model School here, The above speaker stated. that a Principal could be secured for eleven hundred dollars, Granted this for the sake of comparison; Principal'$1100 Seven assisitaixt-s at�'550 ..,38 Fuel . $, 50. e.
