That Great Democrat,
Champ Clark, Who
So Well Stood For
the honest, old-fashioned Americanism,
is said to have spoken these last words:
"The question is on the adoption of the
conference report."
True to the responsibility to Which
he had been called, he endeavored to
fulfill to the last the obligation resting
upon his heart.
Happy is that man who chooses his
life work carefully and stands by it
faithfully to the end. There are many
men living who tower far above their
parties, professions and business.

50 Dinner Sets at $50 a Set
Saving 40 to 50 Per Cent
In the March China Sale we have a group of fifty dinner sets which we have
marked at $50 a set. This is 40 to 50 per cent less than the regular prices.
They include French sets, English sets and American sets.
All the French and English sets are at half. All the American sets are at a
saving of 40 per cent.
No need to talk about how long it is since there has been such an opportu
nity, or how long it will be before there is another as good.
All are sets of 106 pieces. The French sets are in two patterns, border deco
rations with coin-gold handles. These sets are not absolutely perfect, to our
thinking, but the imperfections are practically negligible. - The salespeople will
show you.
The American sets are in border decorations with coin-gold edges and coin
gold handles.
m The English sets are in one of our best-selling, open-stock patterns, a
quaint design consisting of an elaborate floral and bird decoration.
$50 for any set in the lot. If you want one, don't delay.
