A little story concerning "Foot-Form
Boots Thekid skins used in Foot Forms" are
imported direct, in their raw state, from Cal
cutta. Arrived in Philadelphia, they are plac-
ed in the hands of Our leather dressers, whose
process of dressing is conceded to be the best
ever known-it leaves the life and elasticity in
the leather, imparts a finish unsurpassed
makes the leather tough and durable.
The shoemakers at our factory in Phila-
delphia are selected from the best this wo-
mans shoemaking town produces. They make
Foot Forms" exclusively. They use no
scraps or cast-off pieces of goods. Every
piece of leather in top and sole is perfect. The
last used is perfected according to the anat-
omy of the foot, gives an elasticity, comfort
and style at the same time
We conduct our shoe-selling business at
the least expense possible. We ship in large
quantities and save freight. We pay no royal
ties We've reduced the expense of selling to
a minimum.
The nearest approach to "Foot-Form'
Boots in quality is boot made by another
Philadelphia factory, which retails in Wash
ington at S.. We can well say Foot Forms
are worth S..
An this goes to show that we offer the
best shoe possible to make for the smallest
price at which it can be sold. "Foot-Form'
Boots always $3.50. Women only.

Supervisors Issue Transfer or Re-
moval Certificates.

We publish in our advertising col
umns the notices of the sittings of the
Officers of Registration for the election
next November-Tuesday, September
2sth, and Tuesday, October 9Th. Spec
ial attention is called to the provision
in the new law which allows the
Board of Election Supervisors to issue
removal certificates to persons who
changed their places of residence or
propose doing so before the registration.
This is done to save time, as only two
days are allowed for registering this
year. Any voter who has moved or
will do so before the 22nd of September
can apply to the supervisors and get
"a certificate, which handed to the reg
lister in his new district will enable
him to register. Application must be
made before the 22nd inst, as after
that the books will be in the hands of
the registers, who cannot give trans
fers except on the two days of sitting.
This is an important matter, and should
be given consideration

BICYCLE GOSSIP.

A squad of cyclists known as "pio-
neers" is attached to every corps Of
cavalry now in the German army.
Around Copenhagen all cyclists are
obliged, under penalty of fine, it is
said, to walk their bicycles down hill,
no matter how small the incline.
1t is now being argued that tangent
spokes are mistake, and that straight
spokes are really stronger. This is a
return to first principles, as the early
makes of bicycles had straight spokes.
An attachment to the bicycle has
been invented which enables the rider
to tell if the wheels of his bicycle are
in line. The average rider never gives
this matter thought, but it is really OF
great Importance, and if the wheels do
not run true the fault should be re-
paired at once
The perfect lamp has not yet been in
vented. The average amateur wheel
man wants something that win never
require cleaning, refilling or any other
attention; but it will be few CEN

The Democratic Masses in Freder-
lex Speak Out.

The Democratic primary, which was
held in this city on Saturday Of last
week was one Of the largest meetings
ever held in this city. Considerable
interest was manifested by all classes,
and we are glad to state the best of
feeling was manifested by the over
whelming majority against the hand
full who sought to oppose the urgani-
cation. As we have stated heretofore,
the only interest the CITIZEN has in
such contests is to preserve the organi-
cation Of the party and TO act in such
way as will best carry out the wishes
Of the party. There never was better
chance for the men who have the in
terest Of the party at heart to carry the
county Good men should be selected
for every position to be filled at the
County Convention tomorrow. Let
US present a good ticket composed OF
men well qualified to look after the ill.,
terest Of The peo; L. Let there lie a
friendly rivalry, if you please, but do
not have a repetition Of Republican
bitterness, accompanied by crimina-
ton and recrimination, which will dis
rupt any party on the face OF the earth.

A HISTORY LESSON.

After 1895 the flag of the colonies had
Is stars and as many stripes until 1918,
when the stripes were reduced to 10
again, with as many stars as states.
In 1871 Vermont was admitted into
the union, the name Vermont" being
q word of French derivation, meaning
"green mountain" The state of Mis-.
sissippi was admitted into the union
in 1917, Illinois in 1918 and Alabama In
1919. In 1920 the district of Maine,
long attached to Massachusetts, though
separated from it geographically, was
admitted as an Independent state.
William Henry Harrison, ninth pres.
ident of the United States, was born In
Charles City county, Va, in 1873. His
father was Benjamin Harrison, GOV.
ernor of Virginia. He was educated at
Hampden-Sidney college. He entered
the army as ensign in 1891, and was aid
de-camp to Gen. Wayne in his campaign
in Ohio. He was afterward secretary
OF the Northwest territory, delegate in
congress, the first governor CT Indiana
territory and superintendent of Indian
affairs. His death took place in 1871.
There were four candidates for the
presidency of the United States in
1924, Crawford, Jackson, Adams and
Clay. No one of these got a majority
of the electoral vote, and the duty of
electing president devolved upon the
house of representatives. John Quincy
Adams, Of Massachusetts,, was chosen.
The administration of Adams was a
stormy and unpopular one. He was
extremely honest and faithful, but, like
his father, John Adams, he had no gift
for winning friends. He could not
bend to the people. His cold manners
and his disregard for the opinion of
others made him enemies who succeed
ed in preventing his reelection.

SOME ODD FACTS.

Every adult male Mohammedan is
liable to military service, except those
who have had the good fortune to be
born in Constantinople.
Rome has been invaded within year
or two by three of the largest Munich
'breweries, who do brisk business in
the Eternal city during the dog days.
And yet German expert admits that
very good beer is brewed in some Ital-
ian cities, as well as at Athens and
Smyrna.
While bathing at Long Branch re
Gently youth dived in shallow water
and buried his head in the soft sand,
his legs sticking up in the air. Had
1t not been for his father, who was
standing close by, the youth would have
been drowned. AS it was, the SAND
crept into his ears and burst the drums,
making him stone deaf.
In Persia the tenant is absolutely at
the mercy of his landlord, who can even
seize the persons of himself and his
family and reduce them to a sort of
slavery till arrears of rent and interest
are worked off, and this is true of most
countries under despotic rule. Tenants
are generally tenants-at-wil and can
be dispossessed on most frivolous pre-

the prospects for success been so bright
for the party as this year, and with a

can be no such word as defeat The
people have realized the futility of
looking to the Republican party for a

hands and combine against the COM

The ravages of the yellow fever in
the extreme Southern States has in
creased rather than diminished and
the Government Board of Health have
taken charge of the stricken sections
and by heroic methods will try to
stamp out the dread and fatal scourge.
Only few short weeks ago the word
was sent out that the yellow fever
threatened the Gulf States, and since
then the disease has spread rapidly
and many have succumbed. Special
care is taken in every place where the
fever relgns to quarantine the patients
as soon as the tact is known. Corps
of physicians are on hand to render
noble service in this dire necessity, and
with all the risks and dangers doubly
magnified, volunteers to the medical
corps are daily arriving to help battle
with the scourge at great personal risk.
Let us hope that the efforts of the
men of science will be of avail in
stamping out the yellow fever before
it attains a foothold sufficient to battle
their skill.
