Eseh of the four promoters Is un

both the Horns were out of the city.
Mr. May could not be found. Mr
Snider lives in Aritoaa.
The mandates provide that the four

it comes to getting some unusual value for your money;
it's human nature, and everybody's got some of that in them.
We've made up our minds to clean up this stock of good
things to wear; to clear out all fall and winter goods and start
the spring season with an entirely new lot of stuff.
In order to do it we're quoting prices on these things that
are good enough reason for any; man who likes to get good
things for less than they're really worth to come here on the
run.

Hart Schaffher & Marx clothes at less than the usual prices

idea of what to expect here:

found herself In this position had
business sagacity and ample courage,
to that aha Instantly faced a situa
tion which the average womam would
unhesitatingly have abondoned to
her bank directors. Instead ot weep
ingly conferring her proay npon a
handsomely-paid attorney, she called
a meeting of the directorate and
cheerfully voted the majority stock
for herself as president Bhe elected
herself overwhelmingly. In fact, her
election wu unanimous.
From the bealnninK she had one
tremendous asset, and of this she
took complete advantage. That as-!
set waa the bank's cashier, William
J. Patterson bad been with the In
stitution fifteen years. He ,knew
where every dollar of Its Interests
lay. and he knew the full value of
many possible Investments not yet
made. He found to bis delight that
the hew president was sound In
Judgment, but favorable to policy of
expansion. The new president found
to her delight that the cashier was
a man with Ideas who could make
two dollars grow where one grew
before. Of course they married and
lived happily ever afterward, but
before that bad a really golden court
ship, as their sweetheart days were
occupied with plans for large Invest
ments In every big eriUrprtae In that
stirring part of the state.
Washington Is a growing common
wcatn and Aberdeen is building rap
idly and on a permanent plan, mak
ing a field for beak possemed of
th. expansion Idea. The womaa

pre.ld.ncy is now rather by way of
courtesy, as she doea little more than
sign important papers, while ber hus
band carries the burden of all de
tails. .
Always mentally alert, when her
son waa old enough to attend Berke
ley. Mrs. Patterson saw that It would
never allow ber children to become
smarter than herself, she establish'
ed a pretty home in the university
city across the bsy from Ban Fran
cisco, and while the boy wrestled wits
tha problems of bis freshman year,
his clever mother proceed to enrich
ber mentality with what wisdom
there may be in the study ot sociolo
gy, the drama, and post-graduate lit
erature. . Mrs. Patterson's old home was at
Abilene, Katu, and In the days of
her fortune she haa not forgotten
the friends of ber youth. She le a
traveler now and if there are middle
state Kansans of ber acquaintance
In a city she visits she never falls
to look them np for a chat about old
times. Furthermore, she long ago
sent for her brother and the husband
of ber girlhood's best friend to give
them good positions In ber bank.
After all, this was only good business
policy, for they ars men of high ef
ficiency and have served the best
possible Interests ot the bank.
