You re Thinking of Umbrellas
Here's Interesting Reading
Go to an Umbrella Store to buy it—not to a jeweler's.
The regular Umbrella Store buys Umbrellas and sells them
all the year round, and the buyer for thiji stock knows his busi
ness—he's in the Umbrella trade every hour of the year—he buys
to better advantage—he buys hundreds to t .ie other fellow's one—
he'll show you hundreds of handle styles to choose frorh, and
don't think his line is confined to the lower priced grades—they,re
net. . ...
Our Umbrella Store can self you an
Umbrella priced from 49c to $9.98
and even in the higher priced collection we'll show you half a
Hundred styles and the "price-saving" will be a revelation to you.
Umbrella «tore just iunide the door, to tbe right.
Our Splendid Reserve Stocks Keep Our |
Assortments Complete, this is, therefore,
the Logical Place to Shop.

the water power site policy of hie ad
ministration and the Cunningham coal
cases in Alaska^ Secretary» of the Inte
rior RMiard A. Bn Dinger has deter
mined to remain quiet no longer.

vestigation by congtess into his offi
cial conduct. President Tait supports

The resolution for an inquiry will be

for an inquiry uiso into the workings

department, of which Olfford Plnchot
is chief.
President Taft is lu thorough sympa
thy with Secretary Baillnger's desire
for a probing into the coal land cases
and the water power site controversy.
He believes that the attacks made on
Mr. Balllnger are the mofrt outrageous
ever directed against a public man and
has expressed Indignation on account
them.
It is reported on good authority that
the administration has come to, the
conclusion that it would be well for

ment service. The attacks on Ballln
ger are attributed to employees in l'in

Washington, Dec. 21.—The forâgn
relations committee of the senate lia β
voted to report favorably the nomina
tion of Robert Bacon of New 'Vork to

Kerens' nomination was authorized.

something on the order of the chest
nut, but aa no white man baa ever
tried eating water bugs or. If he baa,
doest't dare confess it the exact taste
of téese Mexican morsels can't be de
scribed very accurately. The peons
dote, too, on the nice fat pulque worm.
This Insect Is about two Inches long
and balf an Inch thick. They fry the
dainty in grease and pack it tn 'brown

which bring 2 cents a {«per. An In
