surrounding vicinity, one thousand yards in all, collected from our complete
stock, put, on sale to clean up this department for stock -taking. Lengths run

you of the saving. All at one price Friday and Saturday -
Unheard of Values in Ladies Winter Drawers
°`^ - Twenty-five dozen Ladies Winter Drawers (open only) perfect quality'
good heavy weight, unshrinkable, sateen trimmed, The only reason for the
fallowing slaughter price is that we have too many for, stock -taking. Sixes

and Saturday
The Truth The Whole Trufh and Nothing, but the
, Truth
in Ladies and Children's Winter Coats
Last season we adopted the policy of fair profit on Ladies Coats (consistent
with the running expense of our businesa) with the result that we onlycarried over
a d o er
one coat this season. 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. Remeniberwe 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 off Furs Friday & Saturday
The same reason as above applys to our Fur Stock. Friday and Saturdayoff
goes the profit in older to get this department down to normal. For the past ten ears
we have guaranteed our Furs for one year, the same guarantee applies to every piece
of Fur sold during this gale Muffs, Ruffs, Fur Coats, Gaudtlets, Etc. all reduced

by maintaining 'the; Madel School

with thePunii `

loss; As time was not allowed me
on the evening of nomination to
remake afuli.'+statement of the, facts
I wish to take this opportunity to
show that the•ve b

q •t emenis
erroneous and also to show the ex-
act condition of affairs.
In June, 1913 the Board entered
into a written contract] with the
Department of Education where-
by the Department agrees to
pay to .he Board the
sum of one thousand dollars on
condition that they pay to the Prin
eipal of the Model,Schol the min-
imum salary of one thousand eight
hundred dollars and the Depart-
ment also agrees to pay the sum
of fifty dollars direct to each teach-
er in the Public School.' taking part
in the Model School work. These
grants are altogether independent
of the ordinary Government grants
or the grants to teachens on the
lug par in model School work.
Now in view of the above eon-
di,tions how would matters stand
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 ;

you notice that the Board is$425
better off by maintaining a Model
School here than they would be
without one •taking Dr. Thompson
at his own figures, not taking into
account the standing it gives to our
school, and the financial advant-
ages arising from the money left
in our town by the students of tjhe
Model School.

ing of the social season of the New
Year, The committee in charge

were untiring in their efforts for
the •comfort and enjoyment of their
guests. There was alarge. number
preesent, and it was indeed a
happy o'athering, that the onlook-

occasions allfeet young again—
formed a striking contrast to the

AN ADVANCE NOTE FOR 1914,
"Along about this time," as the
almanacs say, Look for a cheery ad-
vance note from. one E. FI. Ayer. Ex
cursion Mgr, of the Str. Greyhound,
of the White Stat; line; and the
prophecy came ',true last [week,
when the genial E. H,; Ayer wrote,
saying the dates for the 1914 vis-
it of the popular steamer Would like
ly beast follows'; Leave Godeu•ich
on Friday a. m, June 12, giving
that evening and all day Satur-
day and Sunday and 1Vlonday fore
noon in. Detroit, reaching . Berle
Monday ¢right at the usuai hour.
That looks like a pretty fair trip,
and if this date is finally decided
on there will be many a calculation
between now and then for partic-
ipation in the, great and evetepop-
uiar holiday outing:,

The firstday of thenew year is devoted to closing
