pAWSON MERCHANTS READY
FOR FALL TRADE; ARE EXPECT
ING BIG VOLUME OF BUSINESS
BRILLIANT SHOWING OF GOODS
FOR AUTUMN AND WINTER
IN MANY OF SHOPS HERE.
ALL LATEST CREATIONS ARE
INCLUDED IN THE DISPLAYS.
with the passing away of the
qummer season local merchants are
filling their windows with sl_mwings!
of fall and winter _merchandxse con- |
sisting of @ varied ln}e of dress g‘oods|
| wearing apparel. '
y %n\ Jast season has been a good
one. Practically every merchant in
Dawson reports having done a good
volume of business with collections
reported from fair to good. A large
volume of trade is also expected this
winter, and he many local buyers
who have been to New York and
other eastern markets have bought
accordingly, but due care has been
exercised not_to overload in case the
market should take an unforeseen
turn toward lower prices,
While almost every merchant pre
dicts a heavy trade this winter the
more conservative or even those who
mioht be classed as a little pessimis
tic predict a good business but say
thev do not look for anything phe
nomenal in the way of a Jlarge vol
ume of trade.
Good Business Expected.
The many causes which may have
o tendency to affect business might
be divided into two classes this year.
It is pointed out by some that the
cotton crop will be short, and it is
possible that there probably will be
s decline for the next few months.
This is more than offset however by
others who point to several reasons
why business should be extra good
this yvear,
Increased wages to mechanics and
good crops which have resulted from
diversification are among them, It is
also pointed out that even if cotton
declines below 25 cents the decline
will be but for a short time, when,
it is predicted, the staple will again
reach a good mark,
In the words of the fashion edi
tor, many new creations are now be
ine shown for milady. The men will
wear practically the same styles,
both in suits and hats which they
wore last year.
Latest Creations.
This is not true in women’s dress
¢s. shoes and hats. Several new col
ors are on the market for them this
vear and the latest fads have been
provided. Thé new colors are zanzi
bar, brown, oriole, aztec and pine
needle which is a shade of blue
green, Oriole and aztec is to be used
in trimming for dresses and in shirt
waists,
One of the newest fads this year
is the irridescent and steel beaded
woolen dresses. One of the new
materials which will be worn is tri
cofina, a fine weave and softer than
tricotine. Another new material is
kittensear crepe, which is said to be
practically the same as charmeuse.
Browns and tans will be the leading
colors in suits and top coats but navy
blue probably will predominate, ac-‘
cording to local buyers and women
in the department stores who make
a special study of the styles. |
Long waist lines with short skirts
is the style this fall, they say, and
the dresses will be heavily embroid
ered in woolen and silk threads. Jap
anese colors in overblouses heavily
embroidered in beads and silk wgu
also be worn. No costume will be
complete this year without furs.
Coats will be real short and nobby
and coats with squirrel trimmings
are in style, A large showing of furs
with animal secarfs and some movelty
cuts are being made.
Millinery Styles.
The turban effect will prevail in
millinery this fall, fashion experts
say. The hats are in soft shapes,
easily adjusted to suit the individual
face and rolled from the face. Du
velyn, a very soft fabric represent
ing suede leather and velvet, will be
worn, The general trend slightly
forccasted last year will be promi
nent in the styles this year. The
draped turban will be oriental in ef
fect this fall.
It Helps!
There can be no doubt
as to the merit of Cardui,
the woman’s tonic, in
the f{reatment of many
troubles peculiar 10
women, The thousands
of women who hayz been
helped by Cardui in the
past 40 years, is conclu
sive proof that it is a
good medicine for womnen
who suffer. It should
help you, too.

Both low and high shoes will be
worp extensively this coming season,
merchants say. Sensible heels, brogue
oxfords in dark brown for high
school and college girls and general
wear for women will be worn ex
tensively, Wool hose in heather mix
tures will also be worn, but silk hose,
like the poor, will still be with us.
Still the Fall Boot.
One merchant says there will be
more pumps and oxfords worn this
year, but style is trying to bring the
11 inch boots back. He believes the
pump and oxford will be worn more
for dress with the high shoes or boot
for walking:, There is also a ten
dency shown this year for a lower
heel. The “Baby Louis” heel is com
ing back in style, reports say. This is
an old style Spanish heel in vogue
during the reign of Louis XVI.
Whatever the styles or regardless
of the differgnce of opinion among
‘the experts relative to some of the
changes, Dawson merchants will
show the newest and latest fads this
year, for practically every store has
had its buyer in New York in the
past several months. The local
merchants have won the reputation
of being above the average in se
lecting the best and latest merchan
dise and quality and style.
While the men will not make much
change in their purchases this fall
so far as styles go, merchants in this
line are howing stocks from which
selections can be made to please the
'most fastidious buyers.
As stated in the first part of this
story, cheap prices are not looked
for this fall and winter, however. In
some lines there might be a slight
lreduction, but nothing of particular
note. Merchants say business is good,
wages are good and prospects are
bright, so in the language of the poet
Tom Moore, let us “Forget the past,
trust in the future and live in the
glorious now.”
LARGE AREA RELEASED FROM
QUARANTINE AS RESULT OF
DIPPING. 3,700 VATS USED. -
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Georgia,
after having attained a late start, is
making prodigious” headway in the
matter of reclaiming itself from cat
tle tick infestation, according to a
special bulletin of the department of
agriculture, .
The official statement follows:
“The cattle industry in Georgia is
being reclaimed from the dominion
of thé tick. Federal reports show
that during July 888,219 dippings of
cattle were supervised by federal,
state and county employes. This fig
ure is one of the largest recorded
in a state east of the Mississippi
river since systematic eradication
began in 1906.
“Georgia is using 3,700 dipping
vats to combat the parasite.
“Already 36,674 square miles in
the state of Georgia have becn re
leased from federal quarantine, and
cattle from the .released districts
may now be moved interstate without
ti.e former restrictions. With a con
tinuation of the extensive dipping
program, federal officials .cxpect that
large additional areas in Geovgia will
he ready to te releas»i from quar
antine in December, when the work
for 1920 is ccmpleted.”
$125,000, OR $2,260 PER DAY
Legislation, Much of Which Is Not
Appreciated by People, Is Very
Expensive to Them.
The 1920 sessicn of the general
assembly of Georgiaz cost approxi
mately $125,000, according to sta
tstics* compiled by State Treasurer
W. J: Speer. This sum includes not
only the amount paid to the mem
hers of the legislature in per diems,
but also clerk hire and sundry ex
penses connected with the session.
It also includes $7,500 appropriated
to pay the expenses of the Bahnsen
investigation and $5,000 to vay the
expenses of the legislative commit
tee investigating the various state
institutions.
The payroll of the general a-sem
bly, inclusive of clerk hire, w: : ap
proximately $£113,000.
The fifty-day session thus cost
the state about $2,260 per d=yv ex
clugive of the amounts paid for com
mittee expenses and investigations.

A GRATEFUL LETTER.
It is in trying conditions like that
related below by Mrs. Geo. L. North,
of Naples, N. Y., that proves the
worth of Chamberlain’s Colic and
Diarrhoea Remedy. “Two years ago
last summer,” she says, “our little
boy had dysentery. At that time we
were living in the country eight
miles from a doctor. Our son was
taken ill suddenly and was about the
sickest child I ever say. He was in
terrible pain all the time and passed
from one convulsion into another. I
sent my husband for the doctor and
after he was gone thought of a bot
tle of Chamberlain’s Colic and Diar
thoea Remedy in the cupboard. I
gave him some of .it and he began
to improve at once. By, the time the
doctor arrived he was out of dan

PARTY LEADERS EXTREMELY
CAUTIOUS IN MAKING DEFI
NITE CLAIMS NOW. |
mb— )
CHICAGO, I..—The congressional
campaign is occupying more and
more of the attention of party lead
ers, who find themselves confronted
with one of the most “mixed” and
bitterly contested fights in years.
With respect, both to the house
‘and senate’ campaigns, both parties
are putting forth unusual efforts.
Leaders in both camps are unusual
ly secretive concerning campaign
plans, and extremely cautious in the
claims they make.
‘ It’s too early, the leaders say, to
‘tell much about the way things will
’swing, although the election is less
than two months off.
| » Gain Information.
The campaign thus far, however,
has provided party leaders with some
information they regard as highly
significant” and valuable, and they
construe it into auguries of victory
for their respective candidates. Con
gressional campaign leaders have
learned, they said here on Saturday:
That the wet and dry question is
of negligible importance.
That the country generally is
much more deeply stirred by the
1920 campaign than appears from
surface indications.
Party headquarters judge of the
interest in particular issues by the
letters they get about them, and the
calls for - campaign literature. At
both the democratic and republican
headquarters it was stated that calls
for league of nations campaign liter
ature greatly exceeded all others.
This is construed by political ob
servers here to mean that President
Wilson will get the ‘“solemn refer
endum” he asked on the league issue
in a much more conclusive fashion
than appeared possible two months
ago.
Much Surprised. |
Party workers and leaders are
frankly surprised, they say, at the
small part the wet and dry question
is playing in the congressional fights.
It was expected that in the congres
sional contests the future of prohi
bition enforcement would be sealed
as reBult of a sharp drawing of the
issue for and against amendment of
the Volstead law. Nothing like this
seems to have occurred.-
The senate fight is interesting
party leaders, because of its direct
bearing on the treaty; Republican
leaders are claiming a gain of from
three to five seats out of the 33 to
be voted for.

Take a glass of Salts before breakfast
if your Back hurts or Bladder
bothers you
The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trouble,
because we eat too much and all our food
is rich. Our blood is filled with wurie
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaken from overwork, become
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like lumps of
lead; your back hurts or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to scek relief two or three times
during the uight; if you suffer with sick
hendache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar
macist about four ounces of gwd Salts;
take a tabiespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and, your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been'used for gererations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys;
to peutralize the acids in the urine so it
no longer ia n source af irritalicn, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Saits is inexpensive; canmot in

iithia-water beverage, and belongs in
every home, because ncbody can make
