| It’s a Wonderful Feeling II To Have Comfortable Feet It Not because foot comfort is so hard to obtain, but because so few people experience much of it. We will Ec admit that some foot troubles are hereditary and some are unavoidable, but by far, too many are caused by fir ill-fitting footwear. lam just as much opposed to titting a shoe too large as lam fitting one too small. A jgfe shoe that fits properly from the heel to the ball joint, Ik will be comfortable regardless of the style of the toe. Be Don l let any one fit you any other way, and demand th that children be fitted by this method and you will exBE perience comfortable feet. | CHARLIE VQGLEWEDE u THE FOOT FITTER * F A CRANK ON FITTING FEET 1£

THRIFT IN SCHOOLS. Indianapolis, Ind., April B—FollowingB—Following adoption by the state board of IJ. education of a resolution including i thrift in the course of study in all the public schools, the Indiana W’ar Savings committee today began distribution. of a large amount of material for the use of teachers. In cooperation with the state board, it has arranged to provide a series of ten thrift stamp lessons for all the schools. These lessons will form outlines to be followed by the teachers, or remodeled and improved upon by them as they choose. Each set will be accompanied by instructions and a supply of thrift cards for the use of pupils. These cards somewhat resemble savings bank deposit cards . apd will be used by pupils to record their savings. Th< War Savings! committee plans to send out before the end of this week some 16,009 sets of the lessons with as many sets of instructions. It will also distribute approximately 500,000 pupils’ thrift cards. E. U. Graff, superintendent of the Indianapolis schools, and director of the committee’s educational division, has already written to all county and city school superintendents advising them of the committee's pleasure in cooperating with the local authorities to make effective the state board’s resolution. t. Rev. and Mrs. F. F. Thornburg returned from, the annual conference at Peru last evening. They will move to Peru at once. i- o ; SAVE YOUR AUTO TIRES. Every auio man wants to get all the mileage out of his tires that is possible. You can run your tires twice as far if you use an Insyde Tyre.. Many an old casing that would otherwise be discarded can be made to run hundreds of miles farther by the use of an Iflsyde Tyre. They are not expensive and can he removed after the old casing is worn out and placed in a new one. Would be glad to talk the matter over 1 with you. Call ’phone 168 or 51. JOHN H.

They uso carts like the tile J y and, brick factories use in the states, I so you see it does not. take long to unload them. it is very seldom one L I sees a four-wheeled wagon over here. Il They raise lots of cattle and of I B course have plenty of milk and butter, The grass has grown quite a bit this p spring it being from G to 8 inches tall. ~ and they are cutting it and hauling j it in on the carts for the cattle. The •’ women do much of the work. I From truck driving to kitchen po- f lice is quite a change. 1 am kept busy most of the time, but rather so than p not, as tiie time seems to pass more . quickly. But yesterday was easy, we did not have much work in the afternoon. Today is my day off duty, hav- 8 ing every fifth day. Sometimes 1 take p a hike out in the country for a little pastime.
