As we do not carry over stock from season to season every one of these suits are up-to-the-minute styles. Not only are the styles new, but the cloths are those materials that fashionable women demand. There are numerous ways of cheapening the price of the suit, but we have resorted to none of these, because in so doing the quality of the garment is likewise cheapened. Our desire is not only to please you with thef appearance of the suit, but to give you such good quality and workmanship, that you will be a perma nent customer. That. this policy is bearing fruit is shown day in and day out. - ' .1 In purchasing your suit now you get the widest assortment to select from; you get extra time in the wear, and then a Spring garment of suffi cient weight is always a delight to both the wearer and her friends.

Greensboro, March 15. -The Job of tng u. S. attorney in the western ptrlct of North Carolina Is not wlfat used to be, according to W. C. Ham- er, of Ashboro, and he ought to sow. In former years the duties of e attorney were much the same as ose of a solicitor ; he was concerned lefly with the prosecution of vlola- rj of federal statutes.

B. rickclsetiner, Glen Rock Ktation. greater pari of his duties, perhaps, are of a civil nature, i This is1 due to the fact that the attorney has to pass upon all titles ,to land purchased by the government under the provisions of. the Weeks law for conservation purposes. ' Mr. Hammer discussed this pano ramic change in the duties of the office in a most interesting manner while talking to a reporter yesterday after noon. He recalled the timea when trrb criminal dockets of the courts in the district were simply crowded to the point of overflowing with cases. At times, he said, there were as many as BOO cases on the Greensboro docket, in which the majority of the defend ants were charged with illicit distilling or retailing. As to the number on the AsheVitle court docket, he was afraid to commit himself in an estimate; but he referred to the fact that defend ants, their attorneys and witnesses' of -ten came from the far western end of the state In special cars when court convened In the old days. In compari son with these figures, Mr. Hammer said that there have not been , 400 cases on all the dockets in the district during the past six months. This falling off in the criminal pro ceedings of the courts he attributes largely to the operation of the rigor ous state laws as to both retailing and distilling.1 .Some of the burden 'has simply been taken from the shoulders of the federal authorities, but they a-? not protesting. Of course, too, he be lleves that a general decrease In crime Is responsible for the shower dockets to a great extent; but this belief Is not Interfering with the vigilance of the revenue officers. Far be it from. Mr. Hammer to in timate, however, that tho office of dis trict attorney Is coming to be a sine-' cure. The increase in duties of a civil nature, he says, has far outstripped the decrease in those 6Y criminal pros ecution. Since he has been In office, approximately B0 titles; have been passed upon, for each of which , a lengthy opinion had to be written. These titles convey to the government thousands of acres of valuable land, and every care has to be exercised in passing upon them, lest there be fu ture developments1 of an embarrassing nature. The abstracts are prepared by title attorneys furnished by tho department of agriculture, and it is these abstracts that have to be passed upon by tho department of justice, through the dis trict attorney's office. , When the titles cannot be cleared otherwise, condem nation proceedings have to be begun; and these proceedings must emanate from the attorney's office. Such a proceeding will be instituted shortly, Mr. -Hammer says to olear title to about 9,000 acres of land, purchased from the Macon Land company. The entire tract, situated in Macon county, is of about 13,000 acres, and the price agreed upon approximates J150.000. One of the biggest tasks in the game of clearing titles is that undertaken on the boundary known as Pisgah Forest, which consists of 86,000 acres, In four counties of western North Carolina, and was purchased from Mrs. George W. Vanderbllt at $5 per acre. This land was orlginaily conveyed by the state In about .100 grants, and the title attorney, Duncan MacRae, of 'Wil mington, and 'his assistants must pass lon every transfer since these grants were registered. The entire boundary is divided Into three sections. Tho first of these will contain all lands to which titles are perfectly cleiy; tht, second will be of lands, title to which may be cleared without condemnation proceedings; and the third will be Crepe de Chine Jiandkerchiefs One of the most popular nov elties that we have shown in recent years is the collection of Crepe1 de Chine handerchiefs. It was by a bit of good fortune that we were enabled ,to get , such a variety as we now dis play. . Crepe, de Chine handker chiefs, in .solid white, colored borders, and floral effects In delicately tinted colorings, priced at 25c to 50c. Linen handkerchiefs are priced at 5c to $2.50, plain and embroidered. Jiigh Qrade Spring Millinery Many people have remarked upon the moderate pricing of our Millinery, and at the same time , wondered' at such excel lent workmanship. A longer selling period, and the fact that wo close out entirely at the end' of the season enables us to price our hats lower. An East ern milliner of proven ability has charge of the designing and her assistants are em ployed because of the reputa tion of doing superior trim ming. " . Bon Marche hats are priced at $3.50 to $50.00. 1 I T. ? 1 i iHlttiftiu if mm qmmvmm mmww mmmmsm t W H t H H H H t r H . ii?

Bath ing the face In this produces a truly marvelous transformation. the tracts to which the government must .secure title througn such pro ceedings. Mr. MacRae has been at work since last June, and he thinks-he will be through with the first section by the coming June. That will give some idea of the tcdiousnes3 of the work, and then Mr. Hammer has to pass upon it. ' Wherefore he says the Job is no cinch, even though the dis trict is a little short on blockadcrs. Recipe for IT. S, Government White Vuli. Many people argue against the use of lime about poultry because often the air slackened lime thrown around contains some not yet slacked which burns the feet of the birds If they uian nn it. THen lime is rather Irri tating to (he skin and 'feet and legs nf the liirrls and in Dure bred birds where it is the desire to keep birds plumage nice, it rubs ore on tneir plumage wherever they get against it. The government whitewash has been used satisfactorily both on the nntalile nnd inside of buildings and on fences. It does hot readily rub off and is durable and gives a thrifty and cleanly appearance to the prem ises. It must be properly mixed and applied 'to get satisfactory results. The following Is the formula: Take half a bushel, of unslacked lime; slack It with boiling water, cov er during the process to keep in steam, strain the liquid through a fine sieve or strainer and add to It a peck of .salt previously dissolved In Warm water, three pounds of rice boiled to a thin paste and stirred in while hot, half a pound of Spanish whiting and one pound of clean glue, previously dissolved by soaking In cold . water "PRAIRIE SCHOONER" TO CROSS CONTINENT. fx ' t kr, if- I A. - ft A The prairie schooner "Staten Island" has started on Its 4,000 mile Jaunt to San Francisco to adver tise this borough of Greater New York.
