WHY NOT? IP that life of yours, which is sure to end someday, is not insured for the benefit of those who are dependent on you for the material things of life, "WHY NOT? Is it because you have never felt sufficiently interested in what may become of them after you have passed away, or because you have never thoroughly appreciated the value of life insurance, or because no agent has ever explained its underlying principles to you? If you are insurable, that is if you are between the ages of 18 and 70 years and sound and healthy, it is your solemn duty to protect those who are dependent on you for support with a policy on your life in a gilt-edge company, such as the MUTUAL BENEFIT LIFE INSURANCE CO.

Onion Sets. We rose to remark a couple of weeks ago that we had 18 bushels of Onion Sets. We haven't got 'em now. Why? Because people who watch for good things came to us for Onion Sets.

I Our Sole Object During ; This Dull Season Is j to Reduce Stock. 1 1 J t 1 < rjlHIS is the season in which the cue- ' tomer comes nearer making prices on < our goods than during any other sea- | son of the year. Except for a few belated customers, the regular winter j trade is over. We have commenced to buy spring and summer stock, and -j within another month will be getting some of it in. Because of continued 1 heavy sales all fall and winter, we 1 have never allowed our regular winter ] stock to run down materially; but in- j stead have kept it up to an unusual 1 standard of completeness. Now we need room, and df all the ways there 1 are of making room, we prefer that of < distributing the goods to our patrons. 1 Clothing. j Hundreds of people have been { through our big stock of CLOTHING i during the past fall and hundreds of j people have been FITTED and MUCH PLEASED. Although' our sales have ] aggregated many thousands of dollars, ] to all appearances there are as many < goods In our CLOTHING department now as there was last fall. This Is be- ? cause we have not allowed our stock to run down. It is not a difficult mat- < ten to get a FIT, and It . is not . difficult to be PLEASED WITH PRICES. We are not looking for profits now; but for sales, and the prices we are making are calculated to astonish. Hats and Caps. We have a long line of HATS for men and boys. The llfie Includes various styles and prices. There are also many different kinds of CAPS. The alAflViAil Q nrtinf yiiuco nave uctn oiaoutu vw H where they look like a travesty on legitimate trade.

A more complete line of SHOES than we now have has never been seen in Yorkvllle?not even among the big stocks that we ourselves have been accustomed to carry. In DOUGLASS SHOES we have ' practically every style, size and quality made by that well known concern.. For the ladies and children we still carry the incomparable DREW-SELBY, and among ; the cheaper every-day Shoes we are showing ALFRED'S BEST, COTTON . KING, etc. Staples. There has been a material advance In Staples, such as 4-4 Sheeting, Prints, etc.; but we laid in a big supply just before the advance took effect and our prices remain just the same. i?f U111U1 UlU^l xuo ( and Laces.

Then we would ask them to come in and make a more particular Inspection. If we have not enough of Embroideries and Laces to supply the trade, we would like .to know the reason why.
