Tan shoes are going out of date"
said W. NJ. Tinker of the Grimsrud Shoe
company of Minneapolis, who has been
making this city his headquarters for
the past two years and travels the
state for his firm. you will see, how
ever. more canvas shoes worn another
year than ever before. They are cool
and comfortable and the people want
them. Tans are to be back number.
Button shoes? They will always be
worn more or less as dress shoe,
but they are not in vogue with the
general public. The lace shoe is the
popular one and always will be-" MIR.

these days, merchants waiting to see
how the crop turns out before placing
orders for fall and winter goods. MIR.
Tinker expects q good trade this fall

OF the future.
c. X. Wing, one of the representa-
tive business men of Crystal. was in
the city yesterday enroute home from
attending the grand lodge, X. p, which
met at Dickinson.
Mr.. Wing is interested in new
elevator to be put up at Crystal. the
same to be known as the Independent
Elevator company.
He states that in his opinion and that
of other representative business men
of Crystal who are associated in the
enterprise with him. they. are not get
ting the amount of grain shipments at
that place which they should and,
| this is because there are Independent
! elevators on either side of them in
nearby towns which take away a por-
ticn of the trade naturally belonging
to- Crystal.
1t is not the purpose of the indie
pendent company to fight the old line
elevator company's he states, but for
some reason farmers are inclined to
patronize elevators not controlled by
the old line companies, and for this
reason the company has been organ
lied for the purpose mentioned.
Mr.. Wing looks for big crop In
the country tributary to Crystal this
year, and says that conditions were
never more favorable.
| Leila DOWuey is tne UeSI mare IN
the state" said John Dinnie to the
writer this morning when seen at the
Hotel DacOtah prior to taking the train
for Larimore where the fair is in pro-
gress and the races are to be pulled
off today "She took her race yes
terday in three straight heats and in
a jog at that. Her time was 2:22
fiat, not 1927 as published in the Her.
aid this morning."
The little mare is the popular idol
of this city and we'll she deserves it.
1t has been questioned by horsemen
whether or not she could repeat and
go the distance in fast company, but
she has demonstrated that she can and
still have lots left in reserve. The
writer has never seen the little mare
driven out. She has world of speed
and If any fault can be found with her
performances in the past that must
be attributed to the over-zealousness
of her driver, Larry Downey whose
Irish blood demonstrates itself in his
always wanting to do all of the racing
If Larry will keep his head the mare
will hers and she will be heard OF
in some record smashing. She has
youth, speed and best of all. a Level
head, she needs no whip but a Level
head behind her and with all respect
to Larry who is our friend, he does not
always demonstrate this.
