Isn't It Worth
While to Save
The Trustee’s Sale was held for the pur-
pose of raising cash to pay off the cred-
itors with a view of keeping this famous
store as a going concern, which without
doubt would have more than pleased the
entire populace of South Texas. But new
since the creditors demand that the stock
be sold out immediately and wind up the
affairs of the business, it means selling
out completely the entire stock, which
consists of over $50,000 worth of sum-
mer wearables that was not included in
the Trustee Sale as most of it just lately
arrived, and mind you Right Now at the
beginning of the summer season when
this merchandise commands its highest
prices. This massive stock is being sac-
rificed without regard or consideration
of its actual worth.

power and employ all its resources to
bring the government of the German
empire to terms and end the war.’’
The council of national defense,
composed of Secretaries Baker. Lane.
Daniels, Wilson. Houston and Red-
field. following a conference with its
advisory commission, decided to name
soon a commercial economy board to
organize the commercial interests of
the nation for effective distribution
of all necessary commodities among
the people generally. Its aim will be
to deal head of time with problems
of war time distribution.
The council, all of whose members
Inter attended the cabinet meeting,
decided to confer every day this week
with the possible exception of Wed-
nesday. Its activities, which have to
be approved by the president and in
some cases by congress, have begun
to reach into every problem aimed
to make the United States most effi-
cient in its conduct of war.

The governor Wednesday approved
three bills providing for four new

The first liill introduced would have

so that the site will be selected by a
committee provided in the bill. of
which the governor is ii member. An
appropriation of $150,000 is made for
each of there normals, with an addi-

others. For the South Texas nor-
mal the strongest competition ho far
is between Goliad and Corpus Christi,

These are the governor's reasons
for approving the normal school bills:
