On Monday an Extraordinary Sale of Colonial Rag Rugs
The Glory-and-Gunpowder
Part of the War Is Over
Costly? Yes, enormously costly it has been.
Yet, with all the misery and impoverishment it has
cittailed, especially upon the working people, who
found the blood and sinew and supplied the human
food for cannon, it will be worth all it has cost if it
ends forever the military system that for centuries
has duped the common people into subjection and
poverty, breeding hatefulness, and ripening
resistance into the desperation of Bolshevism, which
must now and quickly be downed and destroyed.
Privileged classes, with power to coerce the
smaller nations and to make war, the costs of which
ultimately fall almost entirely on the working
people, must not be allowed to continue, whatever it
costs to put them down.
The hard-working people do the lighting and
pay the bill, not only with their own lives on the field
of battle, but also through their families at home,
who must pay for ships, guns and other military
requirements in taxes that double the cost of their
clothes and food and of the roofs over their heads.
The Needed Time Must Be Freely Given
to secure enforceable agreements leading toward
total' disarmament, abolishing every kind of war
making possibilities, and t6ward perpetuating our
right to stand upon our own feet without entangling
alliances.
Rather than leave any of these issues doubtful,
better far to withdraw from the armistice and fight
out these battles now, if need be, to protect America
from another war into which we would surely be
drawn, as we were when the "Lusitania" became a
huge coffin, burying mothers, fathers and children.
The United States has learned its lesson; and
the precious lives of its sons who lie in th,e trenches,
and the billions of dollars that one hundred million
of its people have got to find to pay the war expenses,
require our President, and the Peace Conference,
and the Senate and the House of Representatives,
to be sure of their ground before they bind us finally
by documents.
The military system and its combinations
already have made far too' many victims in the
world. It is for humanity that the blow must now
be struck. It took four and a half years of war to
get as far as this.
We certainly can lake one year more to settle
the safeguards for our future, rather than to "agree
In haste and repent in leisure."

1500 Fine, Fresh, New Pieces to Sell at Savings
of a Good Third
What could be more timely than a sale of rag
rugs just now, when so many hundreds of people are
looking for just such rugs for Summer use?
Think of choosing from 600 room-size rag rugs
and 900 smaller sizes, with assurance of saving a
third on all you buy!
This unusual sale was made possible by the fact
that the manufacturer of one of the best of the "hit-or-miss"
weaves needed money at once. For spot
cash he was willing to sell his entire stock much below
the market, and we bought it.
The "hit-or-miss" design is one of the best-liked
of all rag rug designs. It might be termed the true,
or original, Colonial pattern, being a charmingly
informal medley of lights and shadows, vivid and
sober colors. It harmonizes perfectly with almost
any color scheme or any style of furnishing and
never grows tiresome,
Please bear in mind that the rugs in, this sale
are all fine pieces, full of service. You, can get in
ferior rugs "for even smaller prices, but we 'do not
believe you can find any of this quality at anywhere

decorations'. ' '
