Prices ruthlessly sacrificed to the desire for stock
clearance! That is what may be truthfully said of

not want a single obstacle to menace the success of
our plans; therefore throughout the store you will
find tremendous price—

on seasonable goods for personal wear and on many
lines of household wears. Most of the lots are too
small to advertise—and as a matter of fact these
small lots constitute the best bargains.

made of flowered lawn
mull and crepe. Cool and
neat neatly trimmed.
They are worth having

DROUGHT OF JUNE AND
JULY BREAKS RECORD
Only .02 Inches of Rainfall
Reported for Two Months
Much Below Normal.
The months of June and July this
year break all records in the history
of San Antonio for scarcity of rain-
fall. In the course of these two
months but 02 inches of rain fell
according to the official records of
the United States weather bureau
there having been .01 inches in June
and .01 inches in July.
An official record of the rainfall
temperatures and other weather con-
ditions has been kept in San Antonio
since the establishment of the weath-
er bureau office here in 1885 and at
no time since that date has the
scarcity / f rain for June and July
even nearly approached the record
made in these two months in 1914.
Unofficial records of temperature
conditions for years previous to 1885
also fail to show even a near ap-
proach to the rain condition experi-
enced this year.
As the normal precipitation for
San Antonio for the month of July is

below normal.
The average temperature for the
month is three degrees above nor-
mal. The highest temperature of the
month was reached on July 8 when
102 degrees was reached. The lowest
temperature was on July 20 with a
registration of 71 degrees.
Thursday the temperature reached
98 yet there are few places in Texas
can claim to have passed a cooler
day. Nearly all stations in the cotton
i regton report temperatures of 100
land higher and at Greenville the
Ithermometer reached up to 110.
. The distribution of air pressure
e ver the country is exceedingly irre-
Igular. and in consequence there is a
| generally unsettled state of the
’weather with great differences of
temperature for various parts of the
country. Showers may be expected in
the vicinity of San Antonio.

Army Officers at Fort Sam
Houston Watch European
Situation.
EXPECT GIANT CONFLICT
Believe However That Ger-
many and Austria-Hungary
Will Be Beaten.
Officers of the United States army
stationed at Fort Sam Houston are
watching developments in the Euro-
pean situation with keen interest.
They realize that if the forces of
the Triple Alliance and the Triple
Entente are drawn into the conflict
between Austria-Hungary and Servia
the war will be the most gigantic in
the history of the world. As military
men they are even more interested
In speculating on the probable out-
come of such a struggle than are
civilians.
If a general war is declared it will
be played on maps at Fort Sam
Houston at the same time the sol-
diers are fighting in deadly earnest
across the Atlantic. One officer is
preparing a large map of Europe on
which the campaigns will be shown
as they progress. As news Is received
of battles and movements he will
shift his armies divisions and corps
correspondingly on the map and in
that way expects to follow the con-
flict closely. It promises to be an in-
teresting game.
Have Picked Favorites.
It is the general belief among offi-
cers that in the event of a war in-
volving the great powers of Europe
as they are now lined up the ad
vantage is on the side of Russia.
France and England. They think
that Germany Austria-Hungary and
Italy will have a hard time in re-
sisting the combined attack of th*
other three nations.
This view is taken because of th*
geographical location of the coun-
tries and because of the dominant
command Great Britain will have
on the sea by reason of its superior
naval force. Officers pointed out
that Germany and Austria.Hungarx
are practically hemmed in between
their foes Russia on the east and
France on the west. Because of this
condition it will be necessary for
them to protect their borders with
Immense armies and these forces
will be by the French and
the Russians
British Fleet Most Powerful
“If such a situation arises Eng-
land will bo able to play a stellar
role’’ remarked an officer who is
an authority on military strategy.
’The British fleet can annihilate that
of Germany having more than twice
the strength. That will leave a wav
clear for troops to be brought by
transports and landed at Kiel Ham-
burg or some other German port.
Say only 100.000 soldiers occupied
one of those places their presence
would bp a menace to the safety of
Berlin and wquM necessitate two or
three times that number of troops
being drawn In from border points
to give safety to the capital. That
would allow the French to tighten
their lines.’’
One officer expressed the opinion
that with such English strategists as
Lord Roberts and General Kitchener
to plan campaigns for the immense
body of Russian troops jp conjunc-
tion with the French troops under
expert military leadership the al-
lies would be invincible on land as
well as on water.
Expect Memorable Struggle.
r However the officers of ’ tho
United States army do not discount
the enormous military strength of
Germany. They say that the kaiser
has been grooming his forces for a
titanic struggle for the last ten or
fifteen year s and has a fighting ma-
chine which »s excelled by no other
Jn the world. For that reason the
military men at the post expect to
•ep a memorable struggle for su-
premacy in Europe but think the
odds are too great for Germany and
her allies to win out.
"One-half of the women In this world
retal’ goazip.” remarked Mr Smith a« be
lit hia after-aupper cigar. ‘Quite contlit-
erate of you not to say all cf them re-
tail goaip." an a pped Mra. Stubb as ah'*

whom carried under his arm a can-

Several fights took place of minor
importance. During this time more
soldiers kept entering until there
were more than 100 in the enclos-
ure. Finally a Filipino bearing under
his arm a beautiful fowl stepped In-
to the place and made an announce-
ment that caused much excitement.
“That’ s the champion bird around
here” the sergeant told the Boverio's
people. “He’s beaten everything that
ha s been put up against him but
now he's going to get what is com-
ing to him. Here goes” and he
clambered down into the plaza.
The owner of the same cock had
just finished challenging all comers
when the sergeant his bag under

of straws left because in taking a census of the heads
to be straw-hatted our buyer saw double when he
reached the larger sizes and we are “stuck” good

took their place in the $2.00 and $2.50 classes—but
as we said before we are “stuck” good and plenty

that any one in the assemblage had
ever laid eyes on. A howl of derision
greeted the appearance of the
strange object as it staggered to its
feet and gazed about.
The Filipino readily agreed to

shapeless mass of feathers that hud-
dled in the pit. The bets were made
spurs were put on both birds and
they were left alone in the ring.
