"Cease Firing" was the subject of the former, who said, "We have war, not because the heart of Europe is bad, but because the head is foolish.

Mrs. Pennybacker said "The surest j way to bring about peace sentiment is to see that first we educate ourselves correctly on the question and then j bring about proper instruction for our 'children. To secure peace instruc tion means we must have the right | teachers; and teachers cannot be whol j ly efficient unless they have some de ■ gree of permanency. I "Statistics sliow that the majority of | country teachers change their loca- I tions each year. This lack of all per manency impares efficiency. This change of location is caused largely by lack of comfortable homes open to the teacher. It has now come about that the majority of the best homes i in the country will no longer take the teacher to board and she must endure real privations ofttimes in order to keep her position." Mrs. Pennybacker ■ showed her personal investigation of i the home conditions that face many i teachers. i -— — — PENNSYLVANIA WOMEN, ATTENTION! A "Helping Hand" Extended to the Middle Aged Woman.

QUESTION NO. 2—HOW CAN AN UPTOWN STORE SUCH AS OURS SELL I CHEAPER THAN A DOWN TOWN ST3BE? OUR ANSWER TO QUESTION NO. 1 A furniture store as large as ours must depend upon drawing its trade from all sections H of a city or district. It can not live upon w business gotten from any single locality. We I know just as well as any one that our store is situated at a considerable distance from the I main shopping center and also that the grea; tendency of people is to shop where nearly I all the large stores are located. Hence, we realize that in order to get a goodly number of H people to our store, we must necessarily show a stock of goods at all times equal in every | way to the down-town stores and also at prices considerably below. OUR ANSWER TO QUESTION NO. 2. In the first place, lower rents and true economy in all other store expenses. No un- I necessary number of clerks sitting around half the time doing nothing. The proprietors H satisfied with a moderate annual income. In thia store the proprietors do all the buying and I also nearly all the selling. We think this cooac f&r something in the interest of our cus- H tomers. There are many other reasons that could be given, but visit our store and judge H for yourself.
