Fairbanks, was a s follows: Clerk,

good choice, Mr. Heppenstall being
the representative of the law (deputy

faithfully guard the exchequer of the
school bofird.

RUSH FOR GOOD EATS
CAUSES A BLOCKADE
✓
COKLKXZ, Feb. 1 (by mail). Tin
sales commissary of the Third Ameri
can army in Coblenz was compelled to
move recently because of too much
business. The building occupied by
the commissary was on a corner of
one of the principal streets of Cob
lenz and American soldiers formed
such long queues that at times the
thoroughfare was choked, so the com
missary was transferred to a side
street. When it was first opened, its
great shelves of canned fruit, jam,
butter and other foods attracted so
much attention from the German civ
ilians that military police had to be
detailed to prevent them from block
ing the entrance to the building

Quite a stir was caused in MEN’S TRADE during January by
some manufacturers announcing a reduction of prices in some
lines. The result was that the merchants became puzzled as to what
course they should pursue with stocks on hand which were bought
at high prices.
The reasons for this are now very plain. Some merchants
had been speculating, others were long on certain lines which
they wished to turn into cash. With very few exceptions the mar
ket on woolen and cotton goods continues very firm.
One of the above exceptions is Denim, which is used in the
manufacture of OVERALLS, and we are glad to announce the
following changes in our Overall prices:
| Fink’s Tan Jumper, $3.00; new price . $2.25
Fink’s Best Blue Jumper, $3.00; new price .... 2.50
Fink’s Best Blue Bib Overall, $3.00; new price. 2.50
Fink’s Best Blue Waist Overall, $2.25; new price... 2.00
Ever wear Blue Bib Overall, special ... 2.00
We also have a few EXTRA SPECIALS which are well I
worth your inspection.
