HATS the story in few lines We
wish to say briefly however that
our summer clearing sale is a good
bit different from most sales you see adver
tised Our bargains do not consist of a lot
of shop worn odds and ends dear at any
price The goods we offer are new fresh
and desirable and we sell them at cut
prices now because we can turn the money
several times before next spring We are
If
ftfr
willing to make a big concession on prices jj
in order to obtain your money

following provision of the new school
land law

ation the commissioner is unable to
do so he may offer the same lor lease
at less than the appraised valuation
and lease it to the person or persons
who will pay six per cent on the high
est offered valuation as annual rent

best interests of the state to accept

the same showing the present ap
praisement thereof as well as any
other information upon application
to the County Treasurer or by ad
