Modern Shoe Comfort Get away from the mistaken idea that you must have a homely shoe to have comfortable feet. It is not the shape of the ordinary shoe but it’s not fitting - at certain points and it’s stiff sole that causes foot suffering. RED CROSS models show how style and comfort can I both be rad in the same shoe. TAGUE SHOE STORE

Recently th# autos of the city have been occasionally disobeying their masters when out on trips in a most dis?|reeable and inconvenient manner. Dr. Krebs has been no exception to the rule and he has stepped into the lime light on former occasions. Wednesday evening he had prepared his automobile for a ride into the country across the river, and it was not until he had reached the vicinity of the Briant street bridge that anything wrong was detected with his machine. Perhaps it was excited to emulation with the telephone linemen, for the machine headed directly for the telephone post and exhibited a strong desire to climb the tall object. Dr. Krebs found that his machine was unedual to the task and soofi had it repaired. —Huntington Democrat.

When it comes to enterprising young men, Joe Grim, the Erie operator and Berry Hill, the Erie towerman at Simpson have all the other boys beat a mile. This spring the boys came to the conclusion that it would be quite an enterprise on their part to utilize the right-of-way along the Erie at Simpson by planting it in potatoes. With them to think was to act and during spare times this summer they took turns about in hoeing the tubers and picking off the bugs. Right now is harvest time with them and the crop to them is a bumper one. No one around here has seen larger, mealier or finer locking potatoes than those boys are now digging from their Simpson patch. So large are the tubers that one more than completely fills an ordinary dinner basket. There is an old saying in Germany that It takes an ignorant farmer to raise big crops and neither of the boys confess to a very extensive agricultural education. —Huntington Democrat.

SEASON IS OVER Big Tom Railing Has Accepted a Position With Automobile Company AT FLINT, MICHIGAN His Batting Average in Southern Michigan League Was .408 Per Cent A letter received yesterday from big Tom Railing is to the effect that the season in the southern Michigan league has closed, and he has accepted a position in the Flint Automobile works, at an enviable salary. As it will be remembered Tom started the season with Springfield and for several weeks acquitted himself grandly on the center mound, winning hard fought battles against the best clubs in the Three-I league by close margins. Early in the season, however, his arm was injured in some manner, and he was greatly incapacitated as a twirler. He was transferred to the Bloomington club and remained there but a short time when he was released to the Flint, Mich., team, where he has since played. Since being at Flint, Tom has played phenomenal ball. He has played the outfield and his batting average was .408, a record surpassed by but few in the country. In all probability he will go back to the Three-I next spring and it is hoped that his arm will be as good as ever when he re-enters the game. o ■ Marshal Bohnke is again on duty after several days at the Fort Wayne fair.
