considered it the duty or tie con
FiKnet1 or punhaaer to -take care of
this Itfiu.
In order that the r:itif-e may b
uniform. It was unanlmnnaty agreed,
at a meeting of the Northern Potato
Traffic Association, last Friday, to
adopt the system of nuikinn all quo
tation at delivered prices, exclusive
of war taxes, hcuinning October IB,
1918.
Dariai recent years, the dealers of
Minnesota and Wisconsin have been
confronted with many Incidental
charges in the potato business Some
of the more prominent Items have
l" n the rental charges for use of re
frigerator or insulated cars, costs of
car linings, heater car service, re
consignlng. etc. Thene charge hare
been -taken care of by shippers and
hrve not been Included In the deliv
ered prices. The war taxes on freight
charges were intended, it would ap
pear, as a tax on the commoditr
transported, to be distributed among
the consumers of the food and was
not created as a tax additional to
those now being paid by the shipper.
Dealer Is Forced to Take Hpuds
Chicago W. Stewart Brown, who
Mandled the, case for the shipper
Fives the .'oliowing account of U
disposition of a car of potatoes re
cently: "acob Chevlin of Chicago, 111., and
Youngatown, ()., purchased a caT of
potatoes from J. F. Carpenter, of
Hugo, Mln., and requested draft to
be drawn on Shapiro, Berkovltr,, Rt
covltx & Stamalates of Chicago, III.,
for $616.60.
"The draft in due course reached
th. First National Bank of Chicago
and Ja( oh Chevlin sued oir: a writ of
attachment in the Municipal Court,
making the First National Bank gar
i. ipl.ee and attached the bill of lad
ing. J. F. Carpenter, of Rag, Minn.,
the shipper, upon learning that the
Order Notify consignee had refused)
to accept the shipment, wired the
bank to release the draft and divert
the car, but tht bnk advised the
shipper that this could not be done
by virtue of the attachment. The
bank hereupon took t ie matter up
with the local Food Administration,
and Jacob Chevlin waa called in be
fore the Food Administration. In the
meantime the Food Administration
suggested, after hearing from Jacob
Chevlin that the shipper reduce his
dft which h declined to do.
"J. F. Carpenter came to Chicr.go
in person and testified before Judge
Jareekl, saying that Jacob Chevlin
had given lim a check for $200. in
lieu of one he had iven Chevlin
for $100 with the understanding that
if the $200 check waa paid that the
$100 check was then to be cashed,
but the check for $200 was returned
"Not Sufficient Funds." and the orig
inal contract to purchase a car of
White potatoes was off.
"Thereafter Jacob Cievltn bought
a car of red potatoes and made good
his deposit of $100. When the car
arrived Jacob Chevlin rejected the
same, claiming that he had ordered a
rar of white potatoes, and that the
shipper had forwarded htm a car of
red potatoes. The shipper contra
dicted this statement and claimed it
waa true he sold him a car of wilte
potatoes originally, and upon learn
ing that the check that the buyer
had given as part payment was no
good, the buyer then came to Hugo,
Minn., and bought another car after
Inspection, and that he had no right
to hold up this bill of lading.
Judge Jarecki decided the case in
favor of J. F. Carpenter, the slipper,
and the car was immediately released
and the purchaser was forced to take
the car op the original agreement."

We Are Shooting Down Every
H Owing to the repeated losses occasioned by faulty plumbing it has be
come necessary for us to vacate our present quarters and as there is no
available place in the city we are forced to sacrifice our Big Stock of the
world's best merchandise.
We have bought in advance for future needs, knowing that the prices
were going up and present wholesale prices, in many cases double that we
paid, prove the wisdom of our foresight. It is impossible to replace many
of the things we are now offering on special sale. It would be impossi
ble to make such slashing reductions if we were to continue in business
because we would be compelled to pay present prices to replace the goods.
Because we are quiting we have no concern over replacing them and
therefore we make these special prices.
Six months from now you will be unable to get goods of similar qual
ity at ANY PRICE. The government has taken over the entire wool crop
of the country you can readily appreciate what that means. When pres
ent stocks are sold you will take goods made by government regulation.
Shoes will be made in three styles with very few styles to select from.
Supply your needs now and be prepared for the future.
In buying from this mammoth stock of goods ath
one-fourth reduction price we want you to thoougnl
understand that the reduction is based on the origins
purchase price NOT PRESENT WHOLESAU
PRICES. This means a distinct saving to you of f ror
THIRTY to FIFTY PER CENT before you take off th
additional 25 per cent of the sale price. Just stop for I
moment and consider this saving and you will neea n
further inducement to buy NOW AND AT THIS SALE
We have had our money invested in these goods fo
some months, although most of them have just arrivec
You get the advantage of our early investmeuli iiihUHi
chance in the market without additional cost to you.
This Sale is for Cash Only.
