Your shoe money

When you spend your money for shoes,
you want to get the value of tin shoes.
You want them to look and wear and feel
at least as we'll as they cost. The trans
action ought to be at least an even trade-so
much money, so much shoe-satisfaction.
The best thing we find about selling SELF
Royal Blue and Perfecto shoes is the best
thing you'll find about buying them; we
give, with SELF shoes, and you get for your
money, more value than with any other shoes.
One experience with SELF Royal Blue or
Perfecto shoes will be more than one. The
name ''Selz'' is on the sole. 1t means
''good shoe.''

Weighing Common Air.

The weight of air has often been test
cd by comprcsSing it in receptacles by
the air pump. That it really bas weight
when so compressed is shown by the
fact that the weight OF the vessels is
increased slightly by filling them with
compressed air and that such vessels
become specifically Fighter" as soon
as the air contained in them is ex-
hausted. Many elaborate experiments
on the weight of air have proved that
one cubic foot weighs 536 grains, or
something less than one and quarter
ounces. The above experiment on the
weight of air is supposed to be made
at the surface of the earth with the
temperature at 80 degrees f. Heated

lighter

POETRY IN MACHINERY.
Glorious Work Of tho MOdePa Reaper
. Fit Subject For Art.


- Fit Subject For Art.
Poetry and art have these many
years pictured the labors Of men and
women In the harvest field. From
Ruth. the cleaner, to Millet's Reaper"
we have read the long. melancholy sto-
ry of the tOilers gathering with crude,
wasteful, inhuman hand tools the crops
of the world that the nations might
have bread. Rightly understood. these
two women. living so far apart, are pa
thetic monuments to the astounding
stupidity that could permit such things
when, as we now see, by taking thought
il machine can release humanity from
such senseless labor. With a singular
pcrverSty artists have delighted to
paint pictures of foolish toll Even now
the critics tell us that neither the NOW
er, the reaper. the thrashing machine
nor the Sulliy plow is Il fit subject for a
picture.
Never was there n greater blunder.
The glory and majesty of our mighty
harvcSts, won for the feeding of the
world with so little labor that the vast
whcattields seem lonely, the smoking
clouds of chaff and straw blown high
in the air from whirrlng thrashers. the
great companies of men and horses
marching to the horizon as the plows
turn side sweeps of sod to the sun, the
gang drills sowing mile long lacelike
threads over the brown earth where
springs the growing crop-these and a
hundred other scenes are fit themes for
any poet. In our fields are no sad null
titudcs Of i'll paid, short lived peasants,
crushed and bent by the iniquity of the
sickle. Why sing the sad song Of the
reaper when a grand. inspiring epic of
the harvesting machine awaits the poet
end painter who can see and under
stand?-Charles Barnard III Reader.
