It proves that the great and good people of this big community believe in methods that are up-to-date methods that are far in advance of the times. No business house in the world ever conceived and carried out a project so elaborate, so beautiful, so entertaining, or so instructive as this one, which will draw tens of thousands to The Great Store during the month of Febru ary r During this wonderful Food Carnival, the store will be full of Tremendous BargainGiving in Every Department. No store in America sold goods at such prices as we did during January: We prove this assertion by referring to the thousands who came, saw and bought so freely. We promise even greater things for February. It's a short month, at the most, but its sales must surpass Janu aryand they will. No going backward here. Forward is the cry. Every day greater, grander, better Stocks are at their best. Prices are always so. We absolutely guarantee satisfaction on every article that leaves the store. We absolutely guarantee that our prices are twenty cents on the dollar less than any other store. Your money back every time cheerfully--if statement we make concerning goods and prices, is not, in every instance, true to the letter. Nothing could be more fair--could it?

T. Powers, president If the East ern Base Ball league, and "Ban" John son, president of tho Western league, will net Jointly at the meeting of the National league next month as a com mittee to protest against tho amend ments which were proposed at the No vember meeting by t'te National board and laid over for consideration. At that meeting the minor leagues presented facta to the league which they thought would prove that the drafting system was unfair to them, an It had very nearly wrecked several ot their teams.and to remedy the evil they asked that the number of players draft ed In any ono year from a club In Class A be limited to two, nnd that no player should be subjected to draft until ho had been on the reserve list for two consecutive seasons, Tho national body virtually acknowledged their hursh treatment of the minors by acquiescing to this request, but at the same time added two more amendments, vfhlch provided that any major league club might loan a player to a minor league club, subject to recall within thirty days or that major league clubs might negotiate with a minor league player at any time and draft him, subject to thirty days' trial, before paying for his release. Presidents Powers and Johnson, ac cording to tho former, will ask tho National league to pass some rule so that It will be Impossible for a major league club to draft a man from one of the minor leagues for the purpose of turning him over to another minor league club without first giving tho club from which he was drafted an op portunity to take him back. Minor leagues claim this abuse has been grow ing on tho part ot the National league.
