By adopting cleaner threshing meth
ods and by literally combing harvest
field3 to gather grain formerly wast
ed, threshermen and farmers of the
United States this year saved fully
10,000,000 bushels of wheat, estimated
as equivalent to about seven one-pound
loaves of bread for every person in
the country. This result, accompanied
by corresponding savings of barley,
oats, rye and other grains, is shown by
reports from 33 grain states to the U.

This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished In scarcely six month"
time, was In direct response to re
quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers and threshermen
to reduce harvest losses from about
31 per cent. the estimated average
in normal times to the lowest possi
ble minimum. Country grain thresh
ing committees carried Into every
grain growing community the official
recommendations for accomplishing
the results desired.
In numerous instances drivers of
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to repair their equip
ment and frequently bad order thresh
ing machines were stopped until the
cause of waste was removed. But In
proportion to the number of persons
engaged In gathering the nation's grain
crop, cases of compulsion were com
paratively rare. The Food Adminis
tration freely attributes the success of
the grain threshing campaign to pa
triotic service by farmers, thresher
men and their crews. Incidentally
grain growers of the United States are
many millions of dollars "In pocket"
as a result of the gram saved.

Dominant values in beautiful Crepe-de-chine
and Georgette Blouses
being the first allotment of Silk Blouses for the Holidays, under a genuine thrift
arrangement that will further emphasize the style and value supremacy of our
Blouse Department.
Can you use a pretty new Blouse, and do you want to save money? If you can
answer both of these questions affirmatively, then you ought to be on hand here to
morrow to take advantage of the splendid savings opportunity offered by the sale
of these new, worthy, winsome models.
For this Holiday Season we have arranged for a service on Silk
Waists, with the World's greatest Blouse makers, which will
bring to us constantly the New Styles just as soon as they are
evolved, and values that will be truly matchless. To resolve
now to buy all your silk Bluses here is to resolve to exercise real,
genuine, worth-while savings.
The superior silks out cf which these Blouses are made were contracted for some
months ago, at prices radically under their cost today; not a single cent of selling
expense is included in their cost to us; large savings were effected in their manufac
ture, due to the fact that the self-same models were produced for one leading store
in nearly every city of consequence throughout the entire Country. And all of these
savings are savings for you.
The Blouses are all made up to an exceptionally high quality
standard that knoivs no compromise. In addition to the excel
lence of the fabrics and trimmings, the workmanship is of the
highest order, and they are cut on full generous lines so as to
be true to size and insure perfect fitting
JUST A LIMITED QUANTITY, AND NO MORE OF THE SAME
STYLES WILL BE OBTAINABLE.
