OUTING SHOES.
It long ago seemed as though
shoes could never be better and
never be cheaper , but they are
better now and cheaper now than
they ever wore before. The great
every day favorite is our men's
and ladies' shoe. It is as much a
boon to the pocketbook as it is to
the feet. It won't wear you out
to wear it out. You don't need to
take care or it ; it takes care or
itself. It will give you solid com
fort for the simple reason that a
better shoe for knockabout pur
poses has never been produced.
If prices iiever appealed to you
before , the price of this shoe will ,
for it costs only § 2.50. It will
look nicer and wear longer than
any shoe on earth.

Going : to
Bay a Watch ?
If so , bay one that cannot be stolen. The
only thief-proof Watches are those with
BOWS
Here's the Idea :
The bow has a groove
on each end. A collar
runs down inside the
pendent ( stem ) and
fits into the grooves ,
firmly locking the
bow to the pendent ,
so that it cannot be
palled or twisted off.
To be sore of getting a Non-pull-out , seethat
the caseisstamped with this trademark. '
It cannot be had with any other kind.

timates that good roads would save the

pose the whole sum will be derived
among the farmers alone.

He has sent out all over the country
petitions to be signed and presented to

edge of the art of constructing roads ,
and that in such department provisions
be made for teaching students so that
they may become skilled road engineers.
An exhibit of road making and road
machinery at the Columbian exposition
is also asked for. This movement is
along the right line , and ought to suc
ceed. Probably no country in the
world has so few good roads as the
United States , and certainly a move
ment in the direction of making the
the public highways better should meet
with encouragement from everybody.
