BERLIN, Sept. 23.—The official
statement on Saturday announces
that on the cast front in the Riga
sector German troops captured the
city of Jacobstadt from the Rus
sians after severe fighting, the
Slavs finally withdrawing before
the heavy onslaught of the Teuton
forces.
The Germans are continuing their
advance. The Russians are col
lecting a powerful force on the
North bank of the Dvina to prevent
the passage of the the Germans
across the river.
COPENHAGEN, Sept. la.—It is
believed tha the German capture of
Jaeobstadt will be the opening
wedge for the Germans to cross
the Dwina when that river freezes
in the winter time and when they
will bo able to sweep down the
north bank and flank the Russian
positions at Dunaborg or Dvinsk.
The accumulation of German
forces at this point enables them to
take hold of the important rail
road to Rieshitza which will make
Dvinsk untenable.
PETROGltAD, Sept. 2:5.—The
Russian field headquarters on the
Dvina reports the German artillery
as now shelling the Russian posi
tions on the north bank of the river
but that the Slavs are prepared to
defend the crossing at all hazards.
The capture of Jacobstadt does
] not, as the German papers claim, ;
j endanger the Russian holding ot , §
Dvinsh. S
It is believed that the Germans ;.s
intend to await the freezing of the [
Dvina before they will attempt the J
crossing. (£

WE TELL OUR CUSTOMERS !
THE TRUTH.
As far as we know the truth.
If candor and straight-forwardness is going to deprive us
of an individual sale we may safely conclude that the sale better
be sacrificed than that the charcter of our store be placed in
jeopardy.
There is but one basis upon which the relations between I
i,
the merchant and customer may bo' safely placed and that is
upon the foundation of confidence.
[
One lie may not destroy that foundation but it develops a »
fracture that require many more lies to conceal that the struc- j
ture is bound to disintegrate.
We must pay a certain market price for our goods and
we must sell same at a little more than what we pay for them
to be able to maintain our structure effiiciently and to pre
serve same in order to aid in the present and future develop
ment of our community.
