Everybody knew that aooner or later the drop In clothing prices would come but the great event was not looked for until the spring of 1921. Manufacturers furnished data and, wrote letters which convinced us all that there was not a chance for a radical change In the clothing market. I believed and was convinced that such was the status and bought heavily for the coming season. This year I bought heavier than usual, thinking that my orders would not all be filled. When I saw the pend ing fU In prices I canceled a num ber of ray orders but in a great number of cases this was Impos sible. At the beginning of - the fall season my stock was the largest In the history of Hyder Bros.' store and you will remember that I Im mediately started cutting prices. Right at the beginning of the sea son I sold fall and winter clothing at a 20 discount. ; AtNthe announcement of my first !0 discount the publio responded liberally. "Many people had been Tiuttinff off iho purchase of new clothing untiTu noticeable reductl was made. My reduction was Just what they had been waiting for and my customers and friends were well pleased with the values offered. I Doing business during this period of readjustment. There never was a proposition. There never was a man living who really liked to lose money but there are thousands of business men today who are 'learn ing to like it." 1 am one step ahead of these thousands I "learned" to like it several months ago and now am real happy. The condition was coming, that we all knew. Now that it Is here we have to face it. ' Hyder Brothers store is usually just a little bit ahead of the rest of the field. When I announce to you that my entire line of clothing is now to be sacrificed at a dls conut of 40 I feel that Hyder Brothers is miles ahead of the clothing field. The people of the T'nited States have forced clothing down. VVhro the average man formerly bought four and five suits per year he cut it down to ono or two, had his old clothes repaired and "made them do." This was not an organized movement but just the result of a lot of common sense cm the par of everybody. Nothing will make merchants sll article cheap quick er than to have a largo supply on hand with m.body buving. 1 am glad to pee thl. condition because it will brine- t!ii manufacturers down to earth. In fact they are there rif-rht now, een though they won't admit it. In the meantime we merchants must take our mcdiciivj and sell clothing at a loss. Cloud clothing can now b purchased at my Etore at astounding!- low prices. All I ask is that you come in nd see for yourself. I know mv merchandise and 1 believe i;i it. When I tell you that I run oiT-ring re;i! honest -to-goodno.ss value.- I mean it. My merchandise is tn.irl.ed in plain the schools are In much the same con dition as last year. One new district has been created, however. The feast of the immaculate concep tion was celebrated today by members of the Church of Assumption to give thanks for the improvements made on the church this year, ffhe building. retintlng and furnishing of the church were Just completed this fall after a campaign of several years and exten sive services to celebrate the success of the undertaking have been carried on all this week. The missionary Fath ers P. Vincente and A. Lucas are visit ing the parish at this time and have assisted In the ceremonies. . Break Even in Games with Ray The basketball teams from the high school went to Kay last Saturday night and split the honors 60 50 with the copper town folks. The girls' team won over their smaller opponents In a walk-away game by a score of 14 2. The miner lads, however, upset the dope by running up a 20 16 score against the Florence team. Th? game was fast and well conducted by Pro fessor Carpenter of Phoenix nigh. Af ter the games the visitors were treated to a feed and a dance. Red Cress to Aid in Local Work Miss Luella Erion, field supervlstor for the Red Cross bureau of publio health nursing, was In town last week to stimulate Interest in the community work of the Red Cross and to inspect the work being done here. Through her aid provision was made for the nuing up ana equipping or a nurses room and first aid headquarters at the grammar BChool. Red Cross old toward the maintenance of the public health nurse was also obtained. Indiana Family Locates Her C. R.

It was taken as she was entering St- John's WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 The "black and tans" who are mentioned so often in reports oi aoings in ireiana were the subject of questions by members of the special committee investigating charges of British troclties in Ireland. Francis Hackett, witness, explained that the so-called "black and tans" get their name from the fact that they wear the black trimmings of the Royal Irish constabulary with the tan or khaki uniform of the ex-army man. These men are nominally auxiliary police. They have been sent over from England to supplement the constaDu larv. The latter, havfng been in Ire land for many years, were believed to havA rone over to the cause or tnc Irish reDublic. Tn order, therefore, to- stirren tne British influence in the force, the Brit iah government enlisted these special men. mostly ex-army men and some men with a criminal record, and sent them to Ireland, each with the rank ot sergeant. This makes them superior In authority to the old Irish constabu lary, which fact incidentally has pro duced much hard feeling. The black and tans draw a pound day to which 15 shillings is added if they are serving In "disturbed areas. So the 'black and tan ' is accused or keeping his area "disturbed." Hackett Informed the investigating commission that many of these men in his Judgment would do anything from murder and arson down or up, Similar testimony given before the commission seemed to justify this charge. It was all a harrowing .gruesome tale, but there are dramatic episodes that stand out with the vividness of pictures taken by flashes of lightning. ' There is one in the testimony or Mrs. King, a school teacher of Irontown, O.. who was traveling in Ireland to visit the birthplace of her mother. She got the story from the mother of the boy killed the day after it happened. In one of the raids conducted by the black and tans the later appeared at the door of a workingman's little cot tage. It was evening and in response to the hangings on the door, an old woman appeared with a candle in her hand. She was pushed aside by the black and tans who leaped up the little stairway carrying electric flashlights and drawn revolvers. The only other occupant of the house was a hunch- The black and tans rushed upstairs and discovered the hunch-backed boy m one or the Dearooms. lie was on the bed In an attitude of prayer. One ot the police fired a bullet which went through the boy s hands and face kill ing him instantly. It is not denied that there have been killings of the police by representatives of the Sinn Fein government. In a guarded way, the witnesses ex plained that the killings of police, of which the British government com plains so bitterly, were decided upon by the Sinn Fein government after careful deliberation, and as a last des perate remedy against the brutalities that is, he had been tried iy a secret "Sinn Fein court ana testimony naa been taken showing that he was guilty of some crime, some uncalled for bru tality and that he ought to be executed. The commission was told by most or the witnesses that conditions ye be coming daily worse in Ireland; that the railroads are being gradually checked in their operations by the gov ernment; and that famine is the r.ext threat for the country. This, it is oe lieved, will set the stage for a general massacre. o IN LI3HTER VEIN Going Some A Georgia lawyer to a wealthy client he desired to impress: "I played Hamlet once." "Indeed!

In 1917 there were but 16,000 the bulk of the Increase of 4000 being attrib uted to war fortunes. But not all of the 20,000 may actually have a mil lion. The conclusion was reached by the number of persons acknowledging an income of at least $50,000, the low est probable return on a million. There are salaried executives receiv ing 150,000 or more who may not have accumulated anything like a million. Nearly 16,000 of the 20.000 confessed incomes ranging from $50,000 to $750, 000; 90 from that to a million a year, and 162 had over a million income, where there were only 141 in 117. Approximately 4,000,000 heads of families filed income tax reports, but at least half of these represented imnuies wnoso annuaj income was $2000 or less. The figures are presented hv the in ternal revenue office for information's sake. What they may be twisted to mean will depend upon the individual Dcni or tne commentator. One point of view that may be overlooked is that with the 50 per cent purchasing power of the dollar the bulk of these millionaires may be only half million' aires at that On the same way of fig uring there would appear to be 2,000,- 000 heads of families struggling with incomes worth $1000 or less.
