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.

U. S. TO TAKE OVER
COAST STEAMSHIPS
TO MOVE TROOPS
Washington, D. C, April 11.
Leading Atlantic and Gulf steam
ship lines will be unified Saturday
under control of the railroad admin
istration. President Wilson by proclamation
directed the taking over by the
government at noon next Saturday
of the Clye, Mallory, Merchants and
Miner's and Southern 'Steamship
companies for the duration cf the
war, and directed their control and
operation by Director General of
Railroatls McAdoo)
The lines will be devoted to trans
portation of troops and war materials
to the exclusion, so far as may seem
necessa'ry, of all other trade, the
proclamation says. Such facilities
of the companies not needed for war
services will continue to be used for
routine business purposes.
The government will nssume con
trol not only of the vessels, but also
of all wharves, docks, ware hcuscs.
tugs, lighters and barges jind all oth
er physical property of the .steam
ship companies.
The proclamation directs that af
ter taking control, . Director General
McAdoo shall enter negotiation? with
the companies with a view to fixing
just compensation for the posse sion,'
use and control of the properties. -
This action adds sixty-three coast
wise vessels averaging 3,f00 tons
each to the forty-eight other coast
wise ships already under government
management, making a total of 111
