ton, New York and Chicago had cancelled orders,
leaving manufacturers with all these fine shirts on
their hands. There seemed to be no end of shirts.
We would have been glad to have taken all of them
if we could, but we did the next best thing and
picked out 700 dozen of the best. Seeing these
shirts you will say: "Beats all how Armstrongs
get hold of all the good things." We advise every
man strongly to get in on this sale for we know it's
the best shirt proposition we have ever presented
Whieh, of course, means best of all.

Huntington, W. Va. Holden, a min-
ing town near here, has a saloon, the
profits of which will be devoted to
charity. Representatives of the United
States Coal and Oil Company, oper
ating at Holden,, have been granted a
license. Replying to protests against
the license, the attorney for the ap
plicants stated it was not the desire
to operate the saloon as a money
making venture, but that it is im
possible to keep miners, because they
will not stay where drink cannot be
procured.' The attorney asserted the.
company had lost heavily on account'
of this condition, and offered to enter
into written agreement to operate the
saloon on a strictly business basis and
to turn the profits over to such charity
as the court might direct. . This propo
sition .was accepted and the license
was granted.

making up the Immense army of the
unemployed in the city run from 120,
000 to 130,000. It is almost Impos
sible, the labor experts say, to arrive
at the exact figures. . They can tell
precisely how many union men are
out of work, but the unions do not rep
resent by many thousands the entire
working forces. , '
