We don't care what you do—or who
you are—if you are a man you are in-
terested in this sale—not because we

have to pay SOc for an underwear gar-
ment which you can buy for 3He here,

for 79c here, nor 25c for hose which you
can buy for 19c here—What's the user

Almost Unbelievable Prices on Boys' Clothing
This is a sale of boys' clothing wherein PRICE is intended to be a great incentive to buying. But price is a W. & M. consideration, only, when QUALITY and all other attributes are right. There is no
requirement of well-dressed boys that is out of the range of this clothing section. Its appe is as broad as that of the most exclusive and individual clothing store. In quality, fit, style, cut, workman-
ship, we traverse the same road—tout at price we part. We sell Boys' Clothing on a Dr^-Goods Basis—that policy regulates the price of every suit. That being the guiding policy, we ask at all times
an average of 1-4 less than any other store. And when those prices are reduced, as they are now, we feel like the most extravagant claims are warranted—but we make no claims, just ask you to in-
vestigate and compare. A request'that parents who have boys to clothe cannot in justice to their pocketbooks afford to ignore. Here are the clothing items—and some furnishings, too:

NEEDS OF MORE SIDEWALKS.
Matter Will Be Discussed at Meeting
of School Board.
The question of sidewalk Improvements
will likely occupy part of tonight s School
Board meeting. Edgar Schramm, chair-
man of the special sidewalk committee,
appointed at the last meeting, will have
a report to make relative to this com-
mittee's conferences with the Sidewalk
Committee of the City Council.
It is probable that a recommendation
for a sidewalk to be built around School
No./ 9, Lopex and Colorado Streets, will
be made by Mr. Schramm, as a result of
vlsfta to this school by Mr. Schramm and
AJaerman Smith, chairman of the Coun-
cil Sidewalk Committee.
Pablo Crus. chairman ot the board's
building committee, will have a report
to make on the acceptance of the new
Beanvllle two-room school, on South
