Is Commended
Newspaper advertlating is a
most effective way of carrying a
message t,o the modern shopper,
F. H. Boyle, manager of the
day in commenting on the Ward
Montgomery Ward store, said to-
Week sale that starts Wednes-
day, October 18.
"Merchants today must rely to
a very great extent on newspap-
er advertising to tell their cus-
tomers of sales events in their
stores," Mr. Boyle declared.
"Newspapers reach a tremen-
dous number of readers. Only
by appealing to this vast buying
public can we employ the mass
distribution of merchandise that
Icings such savings to present-
day shoppers."
Montgomery Ward store man-
agers all over the country coop-
erate in producing the Ward
Week sale. By buying together,
these store managers are able
to secure very low prices from
manufacturers.
Because of the number of
stores participating, it is possi-
ble to ship much of the merchan-
dise in carload lots. These econo-
mies result in lower prices for
the consumer.
Mr. Boyle stated, "G25 Mont-
gomery Ward stores will an-
nounce the Ward Week sale
through newspaper advertising.
"This year, we will spend al-
most a quarter of a million dol-
lars to keep our customers in-
formed of the special values
available in our stores during
Ward Week. We know that all
shoppers are eager to hear of real
bargains, and that newspaper ads
will carry cur message to
them."

NAZI WAR—
(Continued from page 1)
Europe's nations went to war 41
days ago.
The people of Edinburg had
a small taste of the nature of
the war that may be brought to
civilian populations soon when
a squadron of 12 or 14 swastika-
marked bombers swept in off
the North Sea and bombed Brit-
ish warships in the Firth of
Forth.
The nazi bombers took the
lives of fifteen officers and
men aboard the British war-
ships and 12 of 35 wounded sail-
ors were in serious condition.
The British cruiser Southamp-
ton was slightly damaged, 35
sailors were wounded aboard
three warships, and an ad-
miral's barge and a light
tender were sunk before Brit-
ish planes and anti-aircraft guns
drove off the raiders in a two-
hour battle. It was I he first
time since the start of the war
that German bombs had fallen
on British soil.

be danger sign
Of Tired Kidneys
If backache and leg pains are making you
wiaerable, don't just complain and do nothing
about them. Nature may be warning you that
your kidneys need attention.
The kidneys are Nature's chief way of taking
excess acids and poisonous waste out of the
blood. They help most people pass about 3 pints
a day.
If the 15 miles of kidney tubes and Biters
don't work well, poisonous waste matter stays
in the blood. These poisons may start nagging
backaches, rheumatic pains, leg pains, loss of
pep and energy, getting up nights, swelling,
puffineas under the eyes, headaches and diszi-
neas. Frequent or scanty passages with smart-
ing and burning sometimes Shows there is some-
thing wrong with your kidneys or bladder.
Don't wait! Ask your druggist for Doan's
Pills, used successfully by millions for over 4(1
years. They give happy relief and will help the
15 miles of kidney tubes flush out poisonous
waste from the blood. Get Doan's Pills.

Mexicans who killed two women

the remainder of an eight-year
term.
"I'll take my life before I'll
go back to New Jersey. I'm
glad to get back in Texas and
I'd rather give my life to Texas
in the electric chair than return
there," she told a reporter.
Lloyd Fisher, prosecuting at-
torney from Flemington, N. J.,

mann in the Lindbergh case,
was here Sunday and asked
for the woman for New Jersey

Fisher, en route to the West

Dr. E. A. Dann, president and
chief of the staff of the Dann

a charge that the only way a
working arrangement could be
reached with the latin American
republic would be some system
of exchange which probably
would fail because Argentine ex-
portable commodities are not
needed in this country which
already has large agricultural
surpluses.
Sen. Edwin C. Johnson, D.,
Colo., told the committee that
the trade pact program, keystone
of the administration's interna-
tional economic policy, would
strip this nation of its agricul-
tural resources if carried to a
logical conclusion.
"If the program is carried out
and expanded, the United States
will becomc an industrial na-
tion like England, dependent on
foreign countries for food and
thus vulnerable in event of war,"
he said. "The interests of na-
tional defense are being sacri-
ficed here for the benefit of gi-
gantic corporations."

ley, showered.
Her twin sister, Miss John-

blue taffeta frock,'scattered rose
petals, from a ivory colored bas-
ket, in the path of the bride.
