SAVE A DOLLAR Is this mere advertising, or is it facts? We. feel at the present time that at least a dollar is saved on an average on every pair of shoes, some more, some less. . ~ Ready cash, ghd knowledge of our lines of ‘merfcfh'a,ndise, enabling us to buy:in the openmarket at the” most attractive prices, we are not confined to any certain lines of shoes. Ina period% like we are now passing through, all shoe manufacturers, of which there are about 2,000, all laboring under different conditions, do not automatically change their prices over night. ‘We find the cost of shoes in the same grades vary 35 per per cent. Also, we do a cash business, cutting down our overhead costs. Qur new plan of doing business has met with great success, as we are now selling, as many shoes as all the others combined. =~ LGONER T R TFPIRD & COMPANY = Underpriced INDIANA Be L‘ 'Rf LEPIRD | & COMPANY e - Shoe gtrore

CROW MADE SHIP ITS HOME Treated Kindly by Sailors, Bird Decliféd to Leave Vessel When ~“ It Reached Port :

Many years ago, as the whallng ship Diana was returning from a 'voyage in the Arctic ocean, her captain and ‘crew were surprised one day to see a crow, in a state of great exhaustion, flutter into the rigging. The nearest.land was more than 200 miles away, so such a visitor was' quite unexpected. | L With great care and gentleness’ the bird was cdught, and after receiving as much attention as any storm-tossed traveler would require, it was offered its liberty again.. But, though thoroughly restored to health and vigor, it refused to leave the ship. ‘With loud caws of contentment it would hop. ‘about the deck as though that were its real home, and when darkness setfled down upon the ocean, it retired into the rigging, there to roost as comfortably as any of its . stay-at-home relations among their leafy elms. { When the Shetland islands were reached, the captain of the Diana sent his feathered passenger on shore, naturally thinking that this would be in accordance with its wishes; but the next day, when the ship was 40 miles farther on the route to Hull, and was quite out of sight, the sailorsisaw a dark speck in the sky which grew and grew, till, to their astonishment and delight, the passenger they had left behind fluttered: joyously on board, cawing its satisfaction at. reaching home once more, if not reproving them for giving it the slip. - o SNAKES ONGE WERE LIZARDS Like Everything Else in the World _ They Have Undergone a Farm < »f Evolution, 5 Evolutionists—and ‘that ‘'word includes almost all modern scientists—‘declare the snake, as we know it today, is merely the offspring of the lizard. The fam{ly is traced back hundreds of thousands of years to a time when one of the semi-sea monsters crawled out on the land and elected te stay there, Among the species was one with very short legs. As he lumbered along over the ground he discovered that by flattening his belly to the ground and working his ribs that the leverage thus gained helped him along faster. . He came to depend. more and more upon this method of -movement and nature took its usual course in eliminating organs or limbs “not in use. The low lizard lost its' legs and be” .canfe:.‘a ,crhxvler., .As the centuries passed natural selection left these with long bodies, as they cauld move faster than the ones with the short bedies, and “therefore the breeding soon became a matter of length until the snake as we know it today resuited. Another species remained in the water a great deal but crawled about the bottom, and from that c‘ax_nre something ‘that we would today call a sea serpent, a creature about 45 or 50 feet long, with wide and 'toqtlyamg Jaws; It has been extinct for many: c¢ ,h?x{és.‘i L.
