| The Truth About Good Clothes
If you are going to believe everything you read, or hear
about clothes, you’ll not get very good ones; but you won’t have
to pay much for them; there may be some comfort in that.
If you depend on your own judgment of quality, you won’t
be much better off; you may fool yourself into thinking you can
■ tell by looking and feeling whether a fabric is all-wool or two
thirds cotton, but you’re just fooling yourself, that’s all.
It’s fair to assume that every man who buys clothes wants good clothes;
no matter what price you pay for a suit, $9.98 or $50, or the high-priced custom
tailors $75 or $100, you want to get good value for your money. That’s really
the-only business-like way to look at it. When you have your clothes made
to measure you pay part of the price for a sense of gratification at having them
H made to measure; a sort of comfortable feeling of being exclusive; even if it
isn’t very exclusive, you may have the feeling; and it costs you something.
The remainder of the price is in the clothes, and the dealer’s or tailor’s
profit. Maybe you can figure out how much real clothes value you get in
very low priced made-to-measure clothes, or in high-priced ones, for that mat
ter. You can judge for yourself how much value you’ll get in a ready-made
p suit at $9.98 or $12 or $15. • jj
| We sell Hart Schaffner & Marx |
| clothes at $20, $25, 30 and up |
We handle these goods because we know they ^present greater value for the price we ask
than any other clothes made. We know where to get the $9.98, $12, $15 stuff; we know who
makes it, and how it’s made and what it’s made of; they tell us; there’s no deception about it.
Some of it is worth the price; but the price isn’t high enough for good clothes.
The price of Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes is enough to insure quality; and not too much
to give big value. That’s why we sell them; and if you’re wise, that’s why you’ll buy them.

Kill the rat! He destroys food
stuffs in the United States each year
worth $200,000,000.00. Every rat on
your place means dollars lost. Even

more people than do bullets. There is
nothing to be said in his favor. Build
rat-proof houses, stores, granaries and
elevators and poison and trap every
rat possible.

he has been elected colonel, would be
mustered into the service of the United
States in the early spring and that
then he would resign as governor.
Save the wheat. Order a "stack of
:orn cakes” instead of the “stack of
wheats.” By substituting corn cakes
for the millions of wheat cakes eaten
svery morning thousands of sacks of
Jour can be saved. Get the habit.
Forego the present desire and learn to
jat corn cakes which are every bit as
palatable as wheat cakes. Carry this
thought with you: that when the op
portunity presents itself you will eat
i substitute for wheat instead of that
:ommodity itself. This is no craze or
’ad. It’s but a part of our war plans
uid comparable with the buying of
Liberty Bonds and increased food pro
tection.
The local exemption board have re
vived notice that the first two quotas
>f men sent from this county to the
mtional army, seven in the first quota
ind fifty-seven in the second, had all
passed the medical examination. Of
ficial returns have not been received
yet on the last fifty-seven men sent,
rhis is a splendid showing and shows
that the examinations made by Drs.
Gilligan and Douglas were very thor
ough. The men in charge of the
national draft had figured that at least
ten per cent of those examined and
passed by the local physicians would
be found disqualified when examined
by the army physicians, but so far
the Holt county boys are grading 100
per cent.
Are you observing that wheatless
day and that meatless day each week?
Poppy-cock—one man says. No one
else is doing it, why should I? As a
matter of fact many others are already
doing it and more soon will. Further,
the fact that others are not acting in
accordance with America’s best inter
ests does not absolve my remissions.
Lhe situation is this: We are short
of both wheat and meat. It is es
sential to the winning of the war that
we increase the supply of both. Only
by individual responsibility can this be
done. The government has laid the
matter before us as a moral responsi
bility—as merely the act of abstain
ing from a thing that we are legally
entitled to do. How different and how
much more in accordance with our
principles than was the Prussion edict
upon the declaration of war that every
indivdual in the empire should be
limited to a certain weight of meat
each week. Such a course may be
necessary if individual inclinations
continue to rule in the full bloom of
their short-sightedness. At the bottom
of the problem lies not so much dis
loyalty as lack of appreciation of
certain fundamental considerations—
short-sightedness in an understanding
of that thing known as the common
weal.
