THE AVERAGE MAN Knows well what he wants When you say Walk-Over you might as well try to ar-' gue with an Egyptian mummy as to try to get him to change his mind. Because he knows absolutely and unqualifiedly that the WalkOver is the most comfortable men's shoe in the world. He knows because he has good friends who tell him so, or more likely because he wears the Walk-Over and has had actual experience with its many superior merits. Tague Shoe Store

Now it is the buckw’heat crop that the speculators claim as being short and have boosted the price of buckwheat flour so high that the price will cause buckwheat cakes to be a luxury even to the members of the Standard Oil company. It is becoming an old trick of the dealers in almost every kind of country produce to open the market with a howl about the scarcity of the products in order that they may obtain big prices. Why do not the motion picture theaters give scenes that apply to this country? Nine out of every ten of them depict scenes in the streets of France or Germany, as can easily be discerned by the wording on the street corners, on the windows and in the costumes of the people. Are American scenes not made in this country or what, is a question that has puzzled a good many people. Os course too much cannot be expected for a nickel.

They will play a return date in May.—(Copy from the Dramatic News Reporter at St. Marys, Ohio.) Produce dealers in Indiana and adjoining states are beginning a crusade against the marketing of spoiled eggs. They have been successful in enlisting the aid of some of the western trade journals in the hope of obtaining the strict enforcement of the pure food law, which makes persons selling bad eggs subject to a fine. The occasion for this agitation at this time, they say, is that the high prices and the scarcity of fresh eggs now is an inducement to many farmers and country dealers to hold their supplies for better prices.
