No Wonder some kids don’t want to wear barefoot sandals. I would’nt want to wear some of the kinds that 1 have seen. As hard and stiff as a sheet iron stove pipe, they cut and wear at every step. Ours are made of soft Tan Lotus calf leather with flexible welted soles. Footform shapes that give all the pleasure of going barefooted without the scratches and bruises. ■■■san■MßM CHARLIE VOGLEWEDE. AT THE SIGN OF THE BIG SHOE

WEATHER FORECAST I Fair and cdoler tonight and Saturday. Mrs. Phil Meihls went to Ft. Wayne yesterday afternoon. Charles Lomlin and family of Decatur were over-Sunday guests of J. F. Hocker and wife.

Born, to Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Mann, 3416 Piqua avenue, a daughter.—Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. Flattery in the mouth of a handsome woman is more dangerous than from the tongue of an awkward man. Many an ambitious young man has been crowded into a back seat when he attended a suffragette meeting. When some fellows find public opinion too hard to mould they desire to knock it to bits with a sledge hammer. O. H. Odell and family of Ohio City have moved here and are located hi the Jack Reynolds residence, corner of Marshall and Fifth streets. Mr. Odell is the new Erie agent who succeeds J. E. Anderson. At a meeting or the city firemen, held last evening all arrangements were completed for going to Union City June 24 to.the annual convention of the Northeastern Indiana Firemen’s association. The c\y band will accompany the delegation, which is ex-| pected to number about one hundred.

Hugh Hite apd Dick Longshore. Jorn L. Cotterly, who recently took over the Abbott store at fraigvilie, broke his wrist when his automobile back-fired when he attempted tocrapk it. He was new to the management of the car, having taken it over with the store which he secured from A. S. Abbott in exchange for an Allen county farm. Because their government licensss expire June 30, several of Hartford City’s thirteen saloons, which we r e voted out of business in the recent local option election, will quit business a month earlier rather than pay $25 for a government license to operate until the end of the ninety-day ’ limit, which expires August 2. Assessed valuation of horses apd mules in Ohio give figures nearly ■ three times the value of the autonsoiles. The state convention of horseshoers was held recently and all agreed that no one need fear the passing r i either horse or mule. A course in horseshoeing at Ohio State university was called for. It is quite remarkable, considering the great number of inexperienced drivers of automobiles, men and women, that we have so few accidents. Ten or more years ago it was predicted that the motor tar could not be a success because “every man who runs one would have to l-e an engineer.” The old prophet could not foresee that the human race would rise to such an emergency, and every man and woman of courage become an engineer. The Cynic, writing in the June American Magaine, «ays: “Os course the word culture has more meanings than any other word in the world, the reason being that the only way for a man to define it is for him to describe , himself. "I saw a successful man ■ today who declared that before the month is out he is going to get his hair cut if he had to take gas to do it. Which reminded me that, generally speaking, men whose hair is always neatly trimmed do not really amount to a lot. The young have an exaggerated idea of the wisdom of the old. and the old have an exaggcr ated idea of the ability of the youpt. Practically every man succeeds, year in and year out, in keeping up the illusion that somebody else can furniffi the brains which he himself lacks Human beings admire each other much more than is deserved.” —_—q : — FOR SALE.
