Holp aged man for porter at Clifton Hotel. Cast Range For $34.50 Just What You Been Looking For GALLON' ALL COPPER ERVOIR SATISFIED Reservior and high closet, 18-inch oven, six 8-inch lids B. B. FINCH If you want good Ice, we have it. HINKLE BRO S.

We are not a mail order house, but we have something that will skin the mail order houses a city block. Now get your catalogs, sit down and make comparisons. The mail order houses advertise a cast range for $26.15. Do they? Let's see. The $26.15 range is a wood range, something we do not use in this country at all.

This price then is just a bait. Moreover this range is smaller than you would have. Pass that up then. Run down the line to an 8-18, indicating eight inch lids and an eighteen inch oven with reservior and high closet. (This is the size you want and the only thing you look at when you come in our store.) This costs $31.80.

Now that's more like it. The nearest shipping point FOR KANSAS IS KANSAS CITY. Freight is $3.00 on a range. This makes $34.80. We sell an ALL CAST range of this style for $34.50.

And that's not all. Your so-called "cast" range that your mail order friend offers you is not ALL cast. The base and trimmings on body are cast. The whole framework is steel. (We could sell you a steel range of these dimensions for several dollars less.) You can see this by looking at the cuts.

Notice the black sheet iron places. Sheet iron or so-called steel will rust through when it becomes damp. Nor is this all. The mail order people want cash in advance. If they happen not to have on hand what you order they take your money, go out and buy it for you.

WE CAN USE GOOD NOTES. The mail order house won't trust you fifteen minutes. Seventeen years ago Mr. Sears was a little dinky telegraph operator (like the writer of this add) plugging along for $35.00 per month. Two months ago he sold his interest in the chicago concern for $35,000,000.00 to a New York syndicate.

(How do you reckon he made that money? Must his profit not have been greater than ours.) The statement rendered when he turned the property over showed a total capitalization of $50,000,000.00. Of this amount the buildings, goods on hand and cash in bank were valued at less than $2,500,000.00. The $47,500,000.00 was hot air, watered stock or whatever you feel disposed to call it, denominated in the statement as 'good will." In other words it was the value of the reputation of the house at large throughout the country. In other words it was their scheme of taking your money, going out and buying the (We goods to fill your orders using your mogey while you wait for your goods. do not ask you to pay in advance for the above range.) Now pick up the adds of some of our competitors in neighboring towns and you will see they advertise a cast range for $32.00.

Look again and see their specifications. This $32.00 range has no reservior, and a reservior costs $4.50. Add this 1 to the $31.00 and you have $36.50 as against 234 50. These things (and many others) are what make Severy a good place in which to trade. Come and let us show you.

at W. E. BIDWELL, Severy, Kansas us is There was a great deal of orator at the regular meeting of the counci Tuesday night over the question whet! er our boys and girls should be allowed to use roller skates on the sidewalk or whether the city council should pas an ordinance prohibiting the same A petition was presented to the cit dads asking that they pass such ordinance. T. H.

Shields fatherer the petition and give his reasons fo. wanting the ordinance passed which from his point of view seemed to satis fy himself and those who signed the petition. Mr. Shields was so libera in his desire that the same be passer that he thought that six months war long enough to have school each year and with this saving on three month: school take the money and build a rink for the kids and if there was poi enough that he would head a subscription list with a liberal donation to pa, for the same. Mr.

Shields is one o1 our best citizens and was honest in hi: ideas but we hope that he or no one else will see the day when our city schools are reduced to a six month: term, but if that time would come you would find Severy one of the deadesi towns in the state of Kansas, for DC one with children to educate would care to locate here and there would be none to use the fine rink he suggests. J. C. Shoemaker, who is a father and has always been one of the foremos pushers in our city and a citizen who has lived here a long time and done his best to improve our city and make it one of the best places in the state live in and where his children and his neighbor's children can have all the educational privileges and pleasures possible, opposed the petition and gave his reasons why an ordinance of this kind should not pass. The council seemed to be of the same opinion and the matter was laid on the table.

We have no doubt but what the little people do annoy some people by their skating and we believe lif they were requested not to skate where people sick or where they annoyed someone that they would not skate on these walks. But you should remember when you were a child and if you have no children of your own that your neighbors have children and that if you had a few lively youngsters around your home you would probably be willing to put up with a few annoyances for their benefit and pleasure. The Severyite is for the kids and is going to be on their side every time it can help in giving them a pleasure or a better education. Roller skating in God's pure air is good exercise and while they make some noise as they go over our walk, they are having a good time and we are willing that they keep right on skating all they care on our walks.
