son, killed in France. The flag-

We do not believe in wasting money—we believe in
saving it and saving it for you. Our membership in the
United Mercantile Stores makes possible a saving for
you every time you buy at our store. *
United Mercantile Stores have merchants co-oper-
ating in their buying from twenty mid-west states. This
gives to our store the advantage of a tremendous buy-.
ing power and puts members of the United Mercantile
Stores on the same buying basis as the largest buying
organizations in America.
This price advantage and our careful personal se-
lection of merchandise, gained from a knowledge of
the likes and dislikes of the people of our community,
makes this a store where values will please and satisfy.
A striking example of this is to be seen in our Men’s
Suit Department.
but he sees only the bloody, bruised ■ ing
form of an innocent man; he has; ears !
not dulled by the ravages of timej/liut;
he hears only the dying groans ofi Bob
James. £ •
This young man has confessed that
he participated in this brutal murder,
and the consciousness of bis guilt
closes to him every avenue of hope.
In memory there are only groans and
stains of blood, yet memory lives on
to mock and curse. Ambition, aspir-
ation, hope—all are dead, and all re-
pose in a bloody sepulcher. The fu-
ture holds before his gaze only the
lonely cell and the gibbet, but no
doubt he would gladly fly to these to
escape the accusing eyes of men, but
even there he must meet the accus-
ing finger and hear the accusing
voice of God. The poor fellow trem-
bled with a new terror every time the
lawyers discussed the case with a new
witness. This must go on for days
and Roy Hewitt must hear his own
confession of guilt read to the court,
and he must hear the testimony of
those who saw the bruised form of
the innocent man. And then—on
that awful day, before the Great Tri-
bunal, he must hear the testimony of
Bob James.
Is there a hell?. Ask Roy Hewitt.

CASH TO ALL
On the first of September we placed our business
on a strictly cash basis. This means that every ar-
ticle is sold for cash only, and this also applies to all
work done. We have made the cash business apply
to us in the same way that it will apply to pur cus-
tomers—we pay cash an we go and receive cash for
what we sell and the work we do. This applies to
all alike. It is cash to every one. We believe this
is the only way to run a cash business.

It is a drama that starts in Pekin during the Boxer uprising and;

Thrill follows thrill in this remarkable love drama of a young
American and a white girl who has been brought up as a
Chinese. You will follow it breathlessly to the last exciting-
scene.

The last Democratic administra- ,
tion gave the farmers $2.50 wheat,
$1.75 corn, 40c cotton. It also gave
the working men the biggest wages
they ever earned, and the business
; men the biggest profits they ever
■ made. The Republicans cut wheat
down to 90c and $1, corn down to
40c, decreased wages from 10 per
■cent to 50 per cent, and some of the
j business men are having the tightest
squeeze of their careers. And taxes

“THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH”
—
A few days ago we looked upon a
5 .j young man who is charged with the
awful crime of murder. He is but a
boy in years, but is blessed with a
•: strong body and a face that would
give him a favorable introduction
' anywhere. We have gazed upon the
bodies of men after the mysterious
thing we call life had passed; we have
seen men whose bodies were warped
and twisted by disease; we have seen
the bleeding bodies of men that were
pierced by bullets or torn by beasts;
. but no sadder sight ever met our gaze
than the living body and face of Roy
Hewitt, even though neither bears
any physical wounds.
Roy Hewitt is charged with the
brutal murder of Bob James, a man
who did him no wrong, but had shown
him feelings of kindness. He was in
the court house when we saw , him,
and the theme of conversation with
