unofficial, is thnt tho passenger ser
vice will bo oxtended through to Cot
tier nbout tho first of August. !? -vlco

of a mixed train from Goring west.

right to draw conclusions that when
tho passenger train Is started run
ning through It will begin to crtrry
the long expected slcoplng er, nmi
that It will como up as far as Gor
ing, remain hero during the Interim
whllo passongor trains run on west

but thero will at least bo ample time

to make tho trip, nnd no present nec-
csslty for hauling tho Pullman up

NOT MUCH DANGER FROM THE
BITES OF POISONOUS
SNAKES
:o:-
Although tho nvorngo mortality
from Amorlcan venomous snakes is
a little more than ten por cent of the
persons bitten, death from snnke bites
is quito rnre, nccordlng to tho Bio
logical Survey of tho United States
Department of Agriculture, because
relatively fow persons encounter or

Tho most venomous of our nntlve
snakes live In lonely, little-settled
districts, often on stony or swampy
land that cannot bo cultivated. Usual

Do You Walk With a
Smile or a Limp?
Wearers of Cantilever Shoes walk
with an ensy poise that bespeaks free
dom from foot troubles. They step out
with easy carriage, nnkles straight
and steady, feet arched with natural
grace. They can walk for a long
tlmo without fatigue. And that swing
ing walk brings health and a great
capacity for Jiapplness.
Well-fitted shoes contribute import
antly to your health nnd to your
happiness. Thoy must provldo room
for tho toes and freedom for the flex
ible arch ot tho foot. They must not
check tho free play of tho muscles.
Ordinary stiff-shanked shoes bind
tho foot nnd prohibit its natural move
ment. But tho Cnntilovur anoo has a
flexlblo shank that bonds with the
foot. The shoo yields with .oveify
stop, encourages tho foot muscles to
exercise and keep strong.

"Be
Independent"
How easy it is to -give and order and say,
"Charge it" and at the end of the month wonder
why that grocery and meat bill is to large. Rem
ember it costs money to keep books and some
people who say "charge it", forget to pay and
this percentage of loss must also bo added to tho
original cost of the merchandise, and this will
help explain why the man who trades at a credit
store pays more.
When yon "buy for cash" then "you buy for
less" and no need to worry about that grocery
and meat at the end of the month. Wo are here
to serve the public with a complete lino of meats
and groceries and a trial order will convince the
most careful buyer that our prices are entirely
in keping with our Motto "buy for cash", "it
pays". Just phone your order, if we haven't got
it, we will get, it and deliver it to your door.
