$200,000 Worth of Desirable Furniture for All Rooms at One-Fourti
&
to One-Half Less Than
Starting in the Starlight on
One x of the Early
Hot Days
of the Autumn, climbing over the mountains
and jolting along the dusty pike, all "chewed
up, as the, chauffeur said, by ''them heavy
Army trucks" loaded with camp stores, at mid
day the sight of a little unpainted farmhouse,
with a well close to the side door and its old
fashioned wooden pump, made us aware of
being very thirsty.
There was no one around, and we wentright
through the gate and took turns in pumping,
but it seemed to be a dry well. Presently a
good-sized chunk of a boy appeared in the barn
yard, whom we hailed and asked to help to get
us a drink.
He came over and seized the pump handle
and rattled it until his face got red, stopped and
sauntered off to a little shed at the back of the
house and fetched out a tin bucket, half filled
with" water,' and poured it down the wooden
pipe, took hold again of the pump handle, and
after a few vigorous up-and-down strokes, a
plentiful flow of pure, cold, delicious water
filled the water trough, to our great delight.
It was a good lesson we learned that morn
ing, i. e., that many things that are to be done
require a contribution of something from our
selves; that a quarter bucket of water poured
into a dry pump, to dampen and swell the
leather suction valves, makes possible the bring
ing up to us of a barrel full of pure water from
the deep, clear well.

The Kind of Fall and
Winter Clothes Your Boy
Wears Depends on You
When you go to choose them you should always re.,
member that suits and overcoats of the better kinds are not
costlier than the kind that are not so good. Sometimes they
might seem to be, but it is a known fact that they are not.
There is no doubt but that Wanamaker boys' suits and
MM

1 f t!T I
overcoats are of the better kind; and there is no doubt ;bu 'uffi
that they are priced as low as it is practically possible regu- vff !
larly to price good suits and overcoats. ?Y?!J
The certainty of these two thincs fine aualitv arid fkir'ih'
prices should mean a whole lot to people who have boyM.fil;3
