Novelist Holds Audience of 200 With Homely Philosophy E. J. Ward Talks on Social Center Movement.

Opio Krari. novelist und philosopher rIf-lUrhtfully rnUrtainf-d an audience of 200 ladies and grntkrrien acinblcd Tuesday night at the Oliver hotel for the monthly dinner of the Knife and I'ork club. In addition to Head there .vas music by the Thalian quartet and an address on "The .Social Center Movement in the I'nited States," by Kdward J. Ward, of Madifcon.'WiM. V. (I. Crabill acted as toastmaster. The affair was entirely informal, so much so indeed that tho-- present Joined heartily with the o: . tra on the chorus of "Tipperary' a ad with tho Thalian quartet on the cttorus of "Hack to Michigan." Applause during the evening, was hearty, particularly for the quartet, which rendered several classic and popular numbers including the quartet from "lliolleto." Although the time was late when Head was Introduced he held his audience well for more than an hour with his homely bits of philosophy given with the pleasing address of a typical southern orator. He won the hearts of his audience from the first by statirtf that he did not make it a habit to compliment hii audiences and that he would not at that time give any compliments to the ladies present for, aid he, "J don't throw bouquets into a Kcirdcn of roses." He gave expression to his philosophy through the recital of an imaginary visit of one of his characters, a southern farmer, to the city where he beheld all of the evils of the day. Amontf other things this character, "Old Man Jucklin," learned that the negroes in the cotton fields of the south are happier and are better treated than are the white workers in the sweat shops of the city. He also learned that many men could make a living satisfactory to themselves by working for drink and by trading tears for clothes at the missions where the "women do tho work." Kdward J. Ward, a professor at the University of Wisconsin and known as the father of the social center movement, gave a, lengthy and detailed description of the manner in which he had discovered and had developed the social center Idea. The idea had first come to him he said when he learned. In a visit to an insane asylum, that one characteristic of crazy people is that they cannot work together.

LOCAL WHEAT FOLLOWS CHICAGO ADVANCES I 'rice iiov 1-Yom SI. 10 to $1.15 Pit Jluslicl Creamery 1 1 utter Decline One Out.

IVdlowing the lead of the Chicago grain market, wheat prices advanced irom $1.10 to $1.45 in the local exrhanges Tuesday. As prices in Chi-;r-:o continued to rise Tuesday, another advanc e is expected here today. Xo change was reported in oats, corn or rye, these grains remaining at tho high figures at which they were quoted when v.-heat was at its maximum price. 're:;;v.ry butter suffered the ex1 .-1 d decline, prices going fro 111 i ili to in accordance with quotations received from tho Klgin market. This price is "c lower than that of a year ago. due to the fact that industrial conditions are resulting in decreased I'uying of the higher priced butter. Hotter dealers in Chicago and the eastern cities have large quantities of butter on hand which it is impossible to sell at the higher price, and reductions are occurring all over the country. 1'uttor is due for even a greater decline than the le drop of Tuesday. Prices in hides have returned to normal after the rise doe to the shortage at the time of the hoof and mouth disease, anil the indications are that there will be little change in this commodity for some weeks.

We bought for spot cash from several dress and skirt makers, their entire new spring sample lines, at 50c on the dollar, including the entire line of the Progress Skirt & Dress Co., 118 St. Claire Ave., Cleveland, Ohio, considered one of the largest and best skirt and dress houses in the country. The other lines were bought with the understanding that the manufacturers' name will not be mentioned, as this would jeopardize their business in this town. By selling the dresses and skirts at 50c on the dollar, we know it will do more to advertise our store than hundreds of pages of advertising can do.

You'll find it without a doubt the most remarkable money-saving dress and skirt buying opportunity ever presented to you. Look at the prices, then come and see the garments themselves.
