The Crumble and Decay of
Other Nations
through their own greed and perversities, have
given to the world a new vision by which the way
is being marked out for the new life and safe
progress of all its peoples.
The whole world is stepping forward for
rightness and honor. Women are to have a
higher status and politics is to be cleaner, inde
pendent of races and creeds.
In the bigness of the common task all barriers
to success must be overcome, and that none shall
hinder, every human being must do an unselfish
part, whatever the sacrifice requires.
The difficulties must be faced and beaten
down by real men with poise and purpose, who
are consecrated to the (ask of lifting a tumultuous
arid suffering world out of a morass to sure
foundations upon which shall be builded a
citizenship of fraternity that can never be
shattered or overthrown.
God save the day!

The Fickleness of Spring
and the Clothes of a
Worth-While Man
For the proverbial fickleness of Spring, rational
men. will be prepared.
Walking around in a heavy Winter overcoat is a'
discomfort ; going without any overcoat is a risk ; wear
ing the proper Spring overcoat is the part of common
sense.
The man who selects his Spring overcoat from the
stock that wo have to show is sure of obtaining the
fullest measure of satisfaction and service that his
money will secure for him anywhere.
Back of these words are the overcoats, and back
of the overcoats a store that cannot afford to break its
word. We are not boasting of these things we only
want to remind you of them.
The Spring overcoats are priced at $35 to $50.
And you should see the great line-up of new Spring
suits a sight that will delight any man who likes
clothing of distinction and fashion and reliableness.
They are priced at $28 to $65, and comprise a most
striking assortment of the new waist-line models for
young men.
