ABOUT OUR $1 SALE We’ve had a lot of inquiries today about our sale. We don’t restrict the sale of shoes to one family, two families can go together and buy as many shoes as they wish and divide the savings, or two ladies can buy two pairs of shoes and divide the savings. Two pairs of shoes must be sold at one sale and the one pair is sold for a dollar. We advise early buying while the assortment of sizes is good.

It is therefore absolutely necessary that a paper contain some advertising, in fact considerable, and even then the manager often wonders j where he will get the cash to meet, bls bills. I

BIRDS IN CEMETERIES AUDUBON SOCIETIES INTERESTED IN BIG PROJECT. Idea la to Have Burial Grounds Con verted Into Sanctuaries Where Feathered Friends of Humanity May Find Refuge. More than a million acres of land will be added to the bird reservations in the United States If the National Association of Audubon societies, with headquarters in New York, succeeds in its campaign to have all the cemeteries of the country converted Into bird sanctuaries. The plan includes not only the forty-eight burial grounds of New York city, but all cemeteries down to the lonely graveyard of the smallest hamlet. "While the average visitor to cemeteries is frequently impressed with the song of birds,’’ said T. Gilbert Pearson, secretary of the association, who has brought forward this plan, "this is due rather to the usual quiet and perhaps to the receptive mood of the person. The number of birds is really small compared to what it would be were but a little effort piade. Much has been done to drive birds away from cemeteries. Frequently, there is not a yard of underbrush where a thrasher or vireo can build its nest There are no pools or other means for the birds to slake their thirst. Tree surgery has closed the cavities whence titmouse, wren or bluebird formerly issued to console the lonely visitor.. Fruit-bearing trees have been removed and there is an absence of berry-bearing shrubs, such as birds enjoy.” The association, in addition to the above needs, is urging the exclusion of gunners and cats from the cemeteries, the latter through the use of catproof fences. The placing of bird boxes in trees is recommended, as well as the construction of fountains or other drinking places for the birds. Food in the way of growing blackberries, strawberries or mulberries is suggested, while many cemeteries are said to have ample waste space where buckwheat and other small grain could be planted without detracting from the beauty of the landscape. The supplying of food in other ways as well as the provisions for nest-build-ing are among other suggestions contained in a circular just Issued by the association which, Mr. Pearson says, he will mail to all persons interested in having their city cemetery converted into a bird sanctuary. In Indianapolis thousands of birds find refuge i.n Crown HUI cemetery and birds of some varieties which generally go South in the fi ll spend the winter there. Crossbred Yaks to Feed Alaskans. No breed of dairy or beef cattle has as yet been found hardy enough to stand the winters in the Interior of Alaska without excessive expense for food and protection against cold. As a result milk sells for 50 cents a quart and the beef that is consumed in the country consists almost wholly of cold storage meat brought from the outside. The Journal of Heredity says that the Alaska Experiment station has undertaken to relieve this situation by crossing the hardy Scotch Galloway cattle with the yak, an Asiatic ox much used by Mongolians, Tibetans, etc., for milk and meat as well as work. The yak pastures through the winter under the open /ky in Siberia and obtains feed from last year’s grass dug from under the snow. Crosses of the yak with domestic cattle are common in Asia and highly successful. Bear Caught in City. A fat black bear, weighing nearly •100 pounds, was trapped and killed on the edge of the city limits near Cowen park, according to a dispatch from Seattle, and about one and a half miles from the university. The downfall of was brought about by two unknown men, who sold the bear while it was in the trap to A. Lampaert, a butcher of Redmond, for S2O, According to the men who trapped the animal, it had established its headquarters on the hill near the Cowen Park ravine, and had apparently decided to spend tho winter there. The bear was in prime condition and had. evidently found the back yards of Cowen Park residents fine foraging grounds. Missed Big "Successes.” The death of George Edwardes recalls how he sold "Dorothy” for a song, and how a song—" Queen of My Heart" —made a fortune for tho piece. The death of Lewis Waller recalls the case of "Monsieur JJeaucaire.” That , play, when "tried on tho dog” at Liver- ' pool, was a dead failure. The "dog's” j verdict was wrong. Produced as a more stop-gap at the Comedy, “Beaucaire” proved a big and instant success. It ran for some 400 times, and had the crowning triumph of a royal , command performance at Sandring- i ham. That’s What. “What is a military attache, father!" ; “A military attache is an official who has to be recalled as soon as he is caught doing what he is paid to do.” ■ - Conceited. "What id a self-made man, father?” i “A self-made man, my boy, is one tiho thinks that the Creator could not possibly have produced such a wonderful being as he is."
