Comfort Alone Won’t Sell Shoes Don I get it into your head that because people say that we are cranks on fitting shoes that we depend on comfort alone to sell you shoes, 01 that we fit your feet with great big shoes. A shoe too large is as bad as 100 small, a shoe that just fits is JUST RIGHT. But, wc don ( depend on the fit alone to sell you shoes. You first select the style and the price that suits YOU and then we FIT you properly. CHARLIE VOGLEWEDE TAKES YOU MIND OFF YOUR FEET

MUSICAL COMEDY lo Appear Here at the Rex Theater? Friday and Saturday, May 30-31. Always on the alert to give amuse-; ment lovers of Decatur the very best in attractions Manager Kist of the Rex theater has been very fortunate in securing Van Matre and Gillum, two well known musical comedy stars' for a two day engagement at the Rex' theater on next Friday and Saturday, 1 with matinees. Van Matre and Gil- 1 lum come here presenting two of the] very latest offerings in musical com-' edy, in which they have scored the biggest kind of a hit, and it is said i by press and public wherever they have appeared that they have made' the hit of their career in "A night out" | and “The Maid and the Chauffeur” which without doubt are two of the best comedies ever written. Both of which contain a good lively story that is constructed for laughing pin-poses. The song numbers in each are the latest right off of Broadway. And in all the theatregoers of Decatur are sure in for a real treat, when Gillum and Van Matre appear here, remember the dates and make it a point to be at the Rex theatre to see this, the event of the season. o —. SWAT THE ROOSTER, JUNE 2-7 The commercial poultry interests of the state are cooperating with the Agricultural Extension Department of Purdue University in an effort to rid our farm poultry bocks of all male birds, to the end that infertile eggs may be produced. Poultry and egg produce companies all over Indiana are offering a premium price per pound for each and every rooster. It is of mutual benefit to the egg producer and to the commercial interests to produce infertile eggs because they demand a higher market price and may be kept in storage for a much longer period. Farmers should cooperate with their produce men by selling their roosters or penning them away from the flock (in the case of a fancy or pure bred bird.) a WORKING AT JACKSON, MICH. • Howard, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Beery, left yesterday for Jackson, Mich, where he will work this summer, having taken a position with the Michigan United railway. He was accompanied by his mother. Mrs. W. F. Beery who will visit there until the latter part of the week with relatives. Howard, who was graduated from the Decatur high school this spring, will enter Purdue university this fall. FOR THE SCHROEDERS A dollar from Levi Barkley and fifty cents from “A friend" increased the total for the Schroeder family to j even fifty dollars. The subscritions should be given to Cal E. Peterson, secretary of the Relief committee.

There Are Many Reasons Why Norwalk Tires Are Stronger and Better f ram _ f Off J. \ I id*/ ■--KY'b’ I YOU CAN’T PULL THE TREAD OFF A NORWALK TIKE Norwalk Tires in all sizes contain one or more ply of fabric than is put in standard casings. For example a 30x3'/j inch casing is made with live plies of fabric and standard IY 2 inch size with seven plies. The fabric used in Norwalks is woven from the highest grade heavy, long, strong, staple cotton. Between each layer of fabric there is an extra coating of the highest grade compounded rubber of a process which makes Norwalks practically free from fabric separation and fabric trouble so common in the average tire. The Norwalk fabric is impregnated with a special rubber which makes the fabric unusually elastic, and will stand hard and rough usage. The breaker strip is made of a specially woven fabric. When frictioned, it absorbs a large amount of rubber stock, forming with (he adjoining rubber cushion a resistance to sudden shocks and road strains. Did you know that it is possible to “TEMPER” rubber? You have known of course that you can temper steel but the Norwalk Co. has developed a process by which they can temper rubber until it has the qualities of the finest Damascus steel The tread of a Norwalk is not simply rubber but a secret compound made extra thick that will withstand unheard of rough usage and show absolutely no wear at ail. It is the rule that a Norwalk will travel several thousand miles before the tread will show any wear whatever. You get what you pay for on all Norwalks. Many extra thousand miles of service is the rule on Norw alks. Norwalk Inner Tubes are guaranteed not to crack and not to bag. 1 A man buys his second Norwalk because the first one made good.
