Declarng that the "Clean up"' campaign being waged In Oklahoma by a squad sent out from the federal veterans' bureau to interview Bick and disabled former soldiers is large ly failing in its announced purpose tho Amerlcau Legion has filed a complaint with Director Forbes. Facts reported tin (High various posts ot tho Legion in Oklahoma have been sent to Harry It.

One of the chief complaints ot the Legion is that men have gone be foro the squad expecting to obtain full Information regarding their cases and the additional evidence needed to complete their claims and that the men were not given this information.

The time is almost here when we are all going to buy more or less dry goods, clothing and shoes for our winter wear.

We don't claim to $ell for half the price other stores charge but we do claim to save you money. Price goods at other places then compare with what we ask and you will be sat isfied. Remember that 95 per cent of the goods in this store is new mer chandise and bought at the lowest possible price. If you want to save Come To DIXIE STORE Where up town prices look extravagant P. S.
