TAG DAY TO
RAISE FIDS
FORJJBRARY
One thing Cordova needs greatly is
1 a public library. What our school
i needs most of all is more books in
i the library. , The school board has
i promised to build new book-cases,
■ with glass doors, for us, and now it
■ remains for us to get the books.
• School boys and girls love to read,
i They read all that comes in their
i way. So it is right that we should
i have the best books for their use.
Books cost money and we are asking
s the co-operation of the people of Cor
i dova in this matter.
; We have wanted to give a play to
> raise money for this purpose, but be
l cause of time lost during the "flu”
- quarantine we will be unable to do so
> this year. Therefore we have had to
- find another way to make money. We
l have decided on making Friday, Sat
i urday and Sunday tag days. We are
t going to sell tags in the Bhape of
r pennants at 25 cents apiece. All of
the school children have tags for sale,
i It is best for the purchaser of a tag
l to pin it on his coat to avoid being
. asked many times over.
I The school is divided into two sides,
the boys and the girls, each side anx
ious to sell more tags than the other,
i All the money the boys earn is to be
r spent on books the boys want, and the ■
r money the girls earn on books the |
girls most enjoy.
Are you a friend of the Cordova
, public school? Will you help us?

HUNGARY NOW
IS MENACED BY
BOLEHEVIKISM
VIENNA, Feb. 28 (by the Associ
ated Press).—The menace of Bolshev
ism has created a critical situation in
Hungary,' whose gerteral outlook Is
considered infinitely worse than in
German-Austrla. Under the present
gdvefnmenf the condition of the coun
try is described as chaotic and a seri
ous Bolshevikj outbreak is expected.
With its army disbanded the govern
ment is unable to offer resistance even
if it had the courage and energy to
do so.
Public moneys, it is asserted, are
being “squandered” at an “appalling
rate,” and leading financiers express
fear of bankruptcy of the state. The
whole situation of the country is re
ported to be “inconceivably worse ,
than at any time during the four |
years of war.”
The government is preparing to hold
general elections, but under the
present conditions this appears to be
a physical impossibility. There are
no lists of voters, and the franchise .
has been extended from 1,500,000 to
7,000,000, including women, who have t
been grante<y'siiffrage. With part of .
the country occupied by enemies, elec- ,
tlons in these districts will be im
possible, it is declared.
The fear of Bolshevism is growing ,
daily and everywhere the people are ;
urging that the allies intervene. They ,
express the fear that the conditions |
now existing in Russia will be re- ]
peated in Hungary. Hungarian pris- ,
oners of war have returned from Rus- ,
sia imbued with Bolshevik ideas and i
are spreading the propaganda. It is *
the general opinion of the people that ‘
the Karolyi cabinet made a mistake in
disbanding the army, leaving the coun
try at the mercy of the invaders.
While the greatest dissatisfaction
is expressed in political circles and
among the people generally, and min
isterial crises are ot daily occur
rences, no political party seems will
ing to assume the reins of govern
ment. Count Karolyi appears to be
the only leader available.

Quite a $tir was caused in MEN’S TRADE during January by
some manufacturers announcing a reduction of prices in some
lines.' The result was thatthe 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

Everwear Blue Bib Overall, special .. 2.00
We also have a few EXTRA SPECIALS which are well
