THE BIG STORE
The store that does the business,
after all.

there's not a price that isn't right. "Well posted buyers will great
ly appreciate our offerings, and the opportunity that thiB store
affords them to supply their wants most economically and

Our business was not built up by selling inferior goods at big
prices. We began business with one aim—to build up a big busi
ness, sell large quantities of
Good, Reliable Merchandise
at small profits. We have worked to this end and are gaining our
object, as our greatly increasing business will show. Comparison
will convince you that THE BIG STOHE can supply your wants
better and at the lowest prices.
DRESS GOODS.
We show one of the best lines of Dress Goods in this part of the
state and from the way our Dress Goods sales have been increasing
and from what our customers tell us there is not another line in
Audubon that will compare with ours, either in assortment or
prices. We are offering remarkable values in Dress Goods. The
reasons are, we bought our goods at very low prices and theih we
contend ourselves with a* moderate profit. It's a good idea to look
here before buying anything elsewhere. We can name here only
one or two prices to give you some idea of the values shown. A
personal look will give you a better.

For sometime the people of Viola
township have been missing grain of
all kinds and could get no trace of
those taking it. The other night how
ever they went to Dr. Jewell's and got
a load of wheat and were tracked to
one of their homes and Monday the
sheriff landed the following persons in
the county jail: John Garrity, John
Slack, W. J. Smith and Ora Heater.
It seems however that John Slack was
simply a hired hand at one of the
places and was never implicated in
tble robbery and to clear himself of
suspicion he xold all he knew concern
ing the deal so the state has a clear
case.
Teachers Association.
One of the best teachers associations
ever held in the county was held last
Saturday in the high school rooms.
It was the first this year and a strong
delegation from all over the county
was present. The papers read by those
on the program showed thought and
careful preparation. Miss Alta Crow's
paper on "How to Cause Pupils to
Take an Interest in Their Studies,"
was well received and brought out
many good points. The discussion
that followed vyas interesting yet
showed that the teachers were not use
to discussions or talking in public and
clearly demonstrated the need of as
sociations at more frequent intervals.
Mr. Shelton closed the remarks by say
ing that this question was the very
basis of the educational question.
The great Herbartian idea of the
school question. That which puts the
teacher on the broader scale of life's
work, and not a lajfere forcer of know
ledge but one who directs energy and
stimulates the mind to seek for
knowledge sake rather than they are
compelled by mere force.
The next paper by Roxie Huyct on
"The School Library," showed every
teacher present in favor of one for
their school and many bending everv
energy to get one for their school
using their own limited means to
do so.
The county superintendent explained
that under the new law each town
ship is compelled to lay a certain
amount out as a school library fund,
the county superintendent and di
rectors to buy the books, the teacher
tq be librarian during the school term
and the director during vaction. This
is a question that is vital to every
patron. What are your children read
lug? Give them something to read
and you will find them at home often,
when they would be other places where
you weuld not want them.
Prof. Conger, of Exira, had a paper
on "The Teacher Reading" that if fol
lowed'would make every teacher in
the county a stronger man or woman.
To get free from school work, to keep
up with the times, to, when possible,
read that which endures and the lang
uage of which makes one's vocabulary
stronger.
After this paper was discussed Prof.
Shelton, President of Simpson college
at IndIanola,was introduced and spoke
for a couple of hours on "The Trials
and Tribulations of a School Ma'am."
His talk teemed with good hard com
mon sense and should have been heard

and Tailors.
by evety director in the county. With
scathing denudation he published
the critic, public and private, who in
their' own narrowness set themselves
as judges of what they know nothing
about. Then of school boards who
know, little and interfere much. After
this he turned to the victories of the
teacher. The struggles, the trials, the
tribulations and the ultimate triumph
of those who persevere to the end.
The dull boy, the mischevious boy, all
give them trouble but she who persists
will succeed. He held the interest of
every one present trom beginning to
end.
