New Prices on Shoes AT B. N. Fendig’s Shoe Store Opera House Block * - — This store, beginning Oct 15, will offer the New Fall and Winter Shoes * for Men, Women and Children at Reduced Prices. The leather goods market is such that we have repriced our complete line, basing our new prices on the present low market values. This effects a saving to the consumer and a loss to us of from 10 to 30 per cent. We make these radical cuts in price in keeping with our decision to take our loss in one large bitter dose rather than occasional reductions. These reductions anticipate prices and conditions which we hope will prevail next Spring, therefore we feel that you can safely buy your Fall needs at these greatly reduced prices. ~ . This price reduction follows our general policy of keeping our price below competitive lines of equal quality and giving our customers the benefit of our advantageous purchasesand changing market conditions This Is Not a Shoe Sale but the continuation of a permanent policy.

PACT BACKERS SWITCH TO COX

Statement by More Than 100 "Representative" Voters Urges “Patriotism Above Party." New York, Oct. 18.—A joint statement by “over 100 representative men and women who have usually supported the Republican or Progressive tickets” announcing their intention to vote for Cox and Roosevelt and those senatorial candidates “who stand honestly and frankly for ratification of the treaty and adherence to the league” was made public here tonight by Hamilton Holt, magazine editor. This statement sets forth that “it is now too late to talk of a new 'association of nations,’ to be created under Republican auspices" and, repudiating the present Republican leadership that “has permitted the Republican party to become a ‘Little America’ party” urged all Republicans and Progressives “to put patriotism above party” and add their names to the list of signers. This list, according to Mr. Holt, is increasing daily. An analysis given out with the statement said that It included 15 Republican officers of . the League to Enforce Peace, clergymen representing all the principal denominations, the presidents of Oberlin, Vassar, Smith, Bryn Mawr and Mt. Holyoke colleges, several veterans of the great war and nine ex-Republican or Progressive party managers and officeholders. In the last classification were listed Charles P. Howland of New York, Violet M. Leroy of New York, Theodore Marburg of Baltimore, W. H. Nichols of Bennington, Vt.; Herbert Parsons of New York, Elias D. Salsbury of Indianapolis, Edwin E. Slosson of New York, Richard Welling of New York and Alice White of Wellesley, Mass.
