$20,000.00 I WORTH OF FIHE SHOES Will Be Sold From This Store in the Next g Days LISTEN’—HERE S HOW WELL DO IT! Reduce the price on every individual pair of shoes for men, women and children in the entire stock—g If) doing this volume of business on the smallest possible margin of profit, we will make as much gross as though we did but a small portion on regular price. We’ve determined to see if the people of South Bend will appreciate the op]M>rtunit.v to buy shoes at ••loser prices than ever before offered at retail, right in the heart of the Easter season. This is. we truth!idly confess, an experiment. It's an honest effort g to find out if sufficient number of people are interested in THE S LOWEST I*OSSIBLE SHOE PRICES enough to make this course successful. 5 We must sell two or three pairs of shoes where we would normally have sold but one to break even on the experiment. We’re willing - S to take the chance. Are you with us? ■ This is not a so-called “sale.” It’s trying out a new method with 6 this thought in mind, if we can positively save every customer sub- & stantial sums on each pair of shoes bought, these customers will ap- S preciate it to the extent that they will get enthusiastically behind S the movement. || To quote meaningless prices would not be convincing—so here’s our guarantee of value—“ Every customer who buys a pair of shoes at this store during the next 30 days, is asked to take those shoes to ANY OTHER SHOE STORE IX THE CITY ask the dealer there to duplicate them at, or near, the price paid ” If, after making this test, you should wish to return the shoes, you may have every penny of the purchase price refunded without questioning. > So come on! Let’s try once and see what we can 'do to prices I by co-operation $ Guarantee Shoe Co. North Michigan Street South Bend, Ind.

For Precious Clippings. Every woman interested in her home sooner or later forms the habit of clipping recipes, hints and articles of a varied nature which she Intends some time to enter in a scrapbook. Too often they are misplaced before that time arrives. A letter tile, a book-like box with index, is excellent either for permanent or temporary tiling. If tiled alphabetically when clipped the articles are easily found when wanted. J Pennsylvania Surgeon ; Removes Own Appendix J * Kane.

I “ARMENIAN NATION | LOOKS TO 0. S. FOR ! SUCCOR FROM DEATH” I Edwin M. Bulkley, Financier and Philanthropist, Define^ Near East Relief Work. New York. —“There is no spot on the globe today where there is more desperate and hopeless suffering than in Armenia,” Edwin M. Bulkley, the well known New York banker, who has Just been elected chairman of the board of trustees of Near East Relief, declared today. .Mr. Bulkley succeeds the late Alexander J. Hemphill as head of the American relief work in Armenia, Turkey, Palestine, Syria, Mesopotamia and Persia. He has long been connected with the banking house of Spencer Trask & Co., and is thoroughly conversant with the Near Eastern situation. “Elsewhere,” Mr. Bulkley continued, “there is famine that tears at our heart strings and evokes our pity and our help. But in Armenia it is not starvation alone that the people sac | but starvation coming after six years’ V iw-- < EDWIN M. BOLKLEy destruction, wrought by a war that has never ended and that today is not even ended. It is starvation following pestilence, and stalking hand in hand with death from exposure, from violence or from disease. ‘ln the mountains between Kars and Alexandropol there are 263,000 human beings without clothing, food or shelter in the bitter winter, who are wandering from place to place like people in a nightmare. Unless they are succored before the end of another month, they will al! be dead. In southern Persia, the remnant of the ancient family of Chai 'Tirlstians have been forced to i p? forever all hope of ever retur? Jhe homeland where they have d\ t and flour" ished for 1,600 years, and to become pitiful fugitives, dependent upon the generosity of strangers for life itself. In Cilicia, 15,000 Armenian refugees have crowded into the coast regions seeking safety from the anarchy which reigns in the interior, in terror for their lives. They live from day to day on the food which is given them in the soup kitchens established by the Near East Relief. Scattered throughout the Near East, there are some 7,790,490 Armenians, the remainder of a nation of 4,000,090, who have neither government, country, homeland, shelter or hope of regeneration, save that which lies in the great heart of America. "It is a tragedy so stupendous that it Is difficult for us to grasp Its meaning. A whole nation, a living, Christian people, face to face with extermination today, unless we help. We shall see an entire nation disappear from the face of the earth before our eyes if we withhold our hand now, when i the call comes to us to save by giving, । or by inaction to condemn to death Save the Children! “Perhaps we cannot save all the grown peopde of this oldest Christian nation iu the world. But at least we can save the little children who hold the future in their hands. They have xvronged no one. They have harmed no one. And they have suffered through the precious years of childhood a calvary of agony and wretched--1 ness. For three years the Near East Relief, an American organization, incorporated by Congress, has built up the nucleus of a new generation In the Near East, with the little children that it has taken in from the roadside and barren places, and nursed back to health, fed, clothed, housed and educated, in the name of the American people who have furnished the funds for this great work. “This has been our signal contribution to the world’s future peace—that tens of thousands of these little ones shall all their lives look to us with gratitude and faith. It is a seed of world brotherhood that we have sown. Shall we let it die now? “The Near East Relief Is appealing to the American people for the money to go on with this work—to keep these little ones alive and to save this martyred Christian people. Sixty dollars per year—slo per month —feeds a child. We have taken this great responsibility upon us. A whole nation looks to us in faith and trAst. “We cannot betray them now.” Contributions may be sent to Cleve land H. Dodge, Treasurer, 1 Madisoi Avenue, New York City. World Wants Man of Initiative. The busy world shoves angrily aside the man who stands with arms akimbo set, until occasion tells him what to do; and he who waits to have his task marked out shall die and leave his errand unfulfilled. —James Russoli Lowell. Starting Signals. Professional sprinters start off at the report of a pistol, but the re.-Yt of us begin our sprint when we hear a mot»r horn. —Boston Transcript.
