Strauss' January Clearance Sale begins Thürs. , Jan. 18

The main importance of this great sale lies in the fact that our inventory, coming: fully two weeks earlier than in previous years, permits the holding of this sale now, at the time when winter merchandise is most needed. Of course, after inventory, sale prices will be very pronounced.

All lines of dry goods have advanced and will advance for some time at an alarming rrie in many 1 111 11 J J Alt

three-fourths of our winter goods was purchased when markets were at the lowest point. Anticipating the future enormous advances, we bought heavily, and, although we have had an unusually successful season, there remains on our shelves many thousand dollars' worth of fine, dependable winter merchandise. Now, at the close of the season, we turn our thoughts to the incoming spring goods. . Hence, the greatest of sales The January Clearance Sale.

own work waa being fulfilled and vindicated by the more important development under Jesus. Gospel of Repentance Necessary. The '"School of Jesus," if one may umi such a phrase in connection with the group of men so informally gathered together around the person of the !reat Teacher, was an offshoot from that of John the ttaptist. I'oth schools were primarily formed to promote the kingdom ot (Jod. They were based upon the idea that the time for the establishment of a kingdom had arrived. John, it is true, did not cease his work as soon as Jesus made his appearance. His gospel of repentance was necessary after Jesus began his ministry, as it had -been before. Those who remained with John were like himself willing to continue in preaching the message of repentance. Those who joined Jesus undoubtedly realized the advance upon John. "Having found in John a clear radiance as of the morning star, they now saw in Jesus all the glory of the rising sun." The first step of the new disciples was to indicate their allegiance to Jesus by entering into his place of residence with him. It is a symlolical expression of willingness to share with him the circumstances of his outward life. This nie tit, of course, also that as he and

they were to live in common, their means j compared with Hli.SOl.öHl barrels in of stipport were to be shared by him.

The figures for tocka are aimed at w hen they came to him. And j not considered accurate, as they could they learned of him in two ways: First not well be checked over by manufac-

i. e., "one sent," "missionary." The first di.-ciples of Jesus were later called apostles, and there may have attached to their persons and office much that can never be duplicated by later adherents of Jesus. P.ut the pith and point of their apostleship was that they viewed themselves as commissioned to tell others the glad tidings which had come to them. Jesus spoke two cardinal words to his disciples: the words "come," and "go." The perfect disciple is he who hears and

heeds both. It is necessary to come to

Jesus in order to learn of him the way

of life. It is necessary to abide with Jesus in order to become familiar with his character and imbibe his spirit. Hut it is also necessary to go from Jesus in

order to witness to him and invite others

to the privileges of discipleship. It may

be that the Korean church has gone too far in making it a condition for admission into it membership that the converts shall be able to bring another to

the church; but it has not failed in so

doing to grasp the full idea of disciple

1913 apparently is still the record year,

with an output of 92,097,131 barrels, al

though there is a possibility that the final returns may give 1916 the lead. Higher prices for cement prevailed

BRIEF ITEMS.

The Department has at Arlington Farm, Va., apparatus for testing different methods proposed for fixing atmospheric nitrogen. Specialists of the Department arc at work at LaFayette, Ind., to determine the cause of the infection known in that locality as oat blast. The soils of 571,463,680 acres, or 892,912 square miles, had been surveyed and mapped by the Bureau of Soils at the

close of the fiscal year 1916. On land that has been in an early maturing cultivated crop, such as potatoes, peas, sweet corn, or soy beans, no other preparation for alfalfa will be needed than necessary harrowings. In its round trip nearly from pole to pole the Arctic tern covers 22,000 miles. Its daily journey is at least 150 miles, and this is probably multiplied several times by the zigzag twisting and turnings in pursuit of food. In moist climates, such as the eastern United States, it is not easy to suc

ceed with alfalfa except where the soil conditions are favorable. Marked success, however, has been obtained on cer

tain soils in the South where the annual rainfall exceeds fifty inches. Flint and flour varieties of corn frequently produce heavier yields than dent varieties under droughty conditions. They are unpopular, however, on account of the many small ears and the difficulty of husking. When harvested by animals this difficulty is overcome.
