Thus our customers are assured of new goods each season.

People have attended our sale from all over Cass county, and invariably they marvel at the values we are giving. And goods have moved rapidly consid ering weather conditions, but we were heavily over stocked and still have a wide range of sizes in nearly all the articles enumerated above and at money-saving prices. We don't advise buying things you do not need for future wear, just because they ar,e cheap, but there is scarcely a woman who doesn't need one or more of the garments included in our Clearance Sale.

In Omaha and other western cit es and towns, there are at the pres ent time large numbers of discharg ed soldiers out of employment. Many have returned from staking their all n the altar of their country to find heir places in civil life satisfactor- lj filled by girls and women. Most jf the girls in such positions accept ed them simply to help out during war times, when there was such a marked shortage of labor to be had. But, having demonstrated their abil- ty to do work in many lines equal o that of men employees, the ma- ority of them are loathe to give up their places, although the responsi bility of such action lies largely with the employer, who, through either elfish motives, for the saving effect- id by employment of girls, or be- ause, in a few instances, they have been found to be even more profici ent than men. do not care to let the Tirls out, do not care to take the boys jack, and they are thus left with out employment. Of course there ire some few patriotic girls who re sign their position promptly in favor f its former incumbrant, but the najority, having had a taste at the earning of real money (and many of hem have been receiving handsome salaries) do not wish to relinquish title to the inheritance. The sphere of women in the world is rapidly widening in the world and the time Is not far distant when they must be eckoned with as a laboring class in stead cf mere housewives and home- makers.

To what extent improvements figur ed in the sale is not disclosed. Even with a liberal allowance for improve ment the sale price-goes far over the top of last year's record and sets a notable price " for 1919. The high level of 19 IS in the river counties, was the sheriff's sale a year ago of the Hall tract of 320 acres in Doug las county at $266.50 an acre with out improvements.
