A society, a club, a church, each of them, is just what the people who belong to it want it to be. It is purely an individual matter. Abraham Lincoln liked to tell how he was elected captain of a company of his neighbors who volun v teered for the Black Hawk war. He said they were standing together outdoors, talking as to who should be cftptain, when one by one some of theitn walked aside and stood alongside of a man they preferred and the others stepped over to where Lincoln stood and surrounded him, and then they counted up to see who - had the most and it turned out that Lincoln was elected captain.' By this simple, open and above board way of voting everybody was satisfied that the game was played fairly. ' This city will go along just as it , is so long as the people sit still and allow it. Tax assessments and increasing jates, and laxity of service, and protection to crime, and favoritism in "appointments will go on. A city organized for personal profit, ruled as if it belonged, like this Store, to two individuals, loses its dignity and power. $ Signed Sept. 1,1910.

It is a great sale of the most dependable kitchen, bathroom and laundry utensils in the world. Labor - saving and labor - brightening ideas of every sort. Good, sound durable things, too. You surely prefer a saucepan that can be de pended on to last for some years rather than one sure to go into the junk heap in a few weeks. That is just the difference between the housewares in a Wanamaker Sale and the poor, flimsy things that are found in so many low-grade shops. The sale is one that reaches every department of housekeeping, with great supplies at the low special prices of Enamelware Aluminumware Woodenware Bathroom Fittings Refrigerators Galvanized Ironware Tinware (Fourth Floor, to Limoges on an at Special Prices in the white ready to be decorated as in pre-war times. jf Coal cost 125 francs a ton compared with 33 francs before the war.

There are-encrusted gold borders, there are border patterns covering the full range of dec orative styles used on French china and also plenty of the dainty flower-spray patterns.

This is mainly due to the superior quality of the Wanamaker goodsy Much glas3 offered for sale as "cut glass" has no merit and no beauty. About all that can be said for it is that it is glass and is cut, which makes it, of course, strictly speaking, cut glass. When we refer in our advertisement to cut glass we mean a blank worth putting good work on, and we mean cutting worthy to be put on a good blank. The cut glass in this sale is of this worth while owning kind, and, dollar for dollar, there is probably no home adornment both useful and ornamental where so much beauty and utility can bo had at the same timo as in a few pieces of the cut glass offered in this sale. There are thousands of beautiful pieces at savings of 25 to 50 per cent. JDeatitiful Af-Shiraz Rugs .- Just Unbaled Af-Shiraz rugs are made in the Tuikoman district, ' but show the Persian Shiraz influence so markedly tat' they are given the compound name. The designs aie chiefly geometrical, with a few me dallions, and the colorings are rich, with red predominat ing. The sizes average 4.68 ft., with probably a few laektt ' difference either way. At $100 to $150 these rugs are very moderately priesd. (Berenth Floor, Cheatnut) CfsUd) ' a. i. i i ' mmiii y '""i-itr .
