That's why the keenest judges of dry goods values always come here. You'll show good judgment by following their example. Ladies who would keep in close touch with silks, should see our beauties, everyone of which were purchased to satisfy critical tastes. Roman stripes and plaids, messalines and chiffon taffetas, the prettest silks the looms have ever woven. We carry the finest line of silks and fine dress goods to be obtained. This is the time of year when a man's pants need renewing making a new suit &bra an old coat and vest is dead easy. Just add a new pair of pants from our stock. COUGHLIN BROS. & CO.

The greatest relative rise will probably take place with mules which are now so much used for war purposes because of their ability to draw heavy loads and to endure hard Dentist*, such as comes to animals used in wai. Thome who are hreeding horses and have any considerable supply on hand, should, therefore, reap a harvest. Meat values must go higher as the outcome of the war. Thy have been high hut they must go higher still, be- cause of -the great use that is made of meat in the army In the field. Though beef is 1110/It sought after for such use, this fact in itself will influence the val- ues of !neat. Those then who have been giving much attention to the produc- tion oof beef in the recent past, should also reap a harvest.

The sharp ;drone* already made is go- ing to help the farmers greatly with the crop of 1914 Already safely bar- vooted and much of it marketed. The price of coarse grains also, especially oat -a, will rise, as these must 1•1\. greatly toted in the war rune. The price of roarse grains including corn vvill also be stimulated, as the mdcotne of the larger demand for meat products fin- ished on thew. grains. But a note of warning may be inorder here. The sharp advance in wheat val- ues will ,doubtless lead to the sowing of an unusually large area to whatt fon the crop of 101,5. This may be ease, but it may not. That good valueo w'll be realized in all the products and classes of animals named, the present autumn ad coming winter, cannot b. doubted, but to, I: as what another year may bring forth? By the spring time the war may be over. Should this be so thent may be a sharp decline especially in the price of grain. After great wars there is usually a period of dullness. Are there any good reasons for think- ing that it will be any way differ:it!, at the close of this war! Should that happen, those who sowed an unusual ark to wheat may find that they have made a mistake. .........1.•••••11111.m.••••••
