Home ic You can make money by spending it now. This was never so true as now. When we tell you that we are selling today suits of clothes for $15, $17, $22, $25, $27 and $30 that in another season will be at least $10 higher, we are telling you absolute facts. Is $10 worth saving? Not only that, but the quality of the goods we can sell ycu now is better than the kind you will have to pay more 'for 'aler. We are keeping the prices down we feel that is our patriotic duty but we are powerless to hold them beyond our present stock. That's why we urge you to take early advantage, of our preparedness. Save money by spending itl Men's overalls $1.50 to $2.50; Men's work shirts, 65c to $ 1 .00 ; Men's sox, 1 5c to $ 1 .00 ; Men's hats, $1.50 to $10.00. Indies' coats, $10 to $35; Ladies' silk hose, $1 to $2. The Home Is No Cozier Than lis Floors Bare floors make a home as uninviting- as bare walls or windows. Pleasant warmth and cheer enter a room as soon as you install Floor Covering Made in agreeable color designs specially suitable for bed-rooms, kitchen, sewing-room, nursery, o porch, halls, closets and bath rooms. Many special patterns for every room. Sanitary, easily washed, water proof and enduring. A tough, thick, resilient fabric that takes the jar and noise out of walking. Lies flat without tacking, and Red Cross in the effort to make this the big event of the season, and to assist all possible in the raising of funds to further the work of the Red Cross. There v.-ill be booths, during the entire time, and the ses sions of the sales will be from two o'clock in the afternoon until ten o'clock in the evening, for the sales, which will be given daily. At these booths will be offered for sale articles of any and" all kinds, what even any one might wish to contribute, and all who have some thing which you are certain some one would want to purchase make a gift of it to the committee. Gift? will he accepted from the merchants of goods from the farmers of grain and produce, automobiles, automobile ac cessories and horses, cows, " pigs, chickens, and in fact anything which any one has and some one else may want. This will conclude with one Saturday with an auction and after the auction the floors will be cleared and a dance will be given. During the entire time there will be music of abundance and of the best at the place, and the music will be retain ed for the dance which will be one feat tire of the affair. On next Wed nesday at the lodge room of the Klks will be held a meeting of the Ladies of the Red Cross, and the members of the Elks, for the perfecting of the arrangements. Thi? is a commendable enterprise, and one which all should get behind and push with all the push there is in you. There will be more to be said about this affair and watch for what an nouncements the committees will have to make, and at the same tine as a citizen of Plattsmouth and of America do vour utmost to make this the greatest success of the season.
