reason why progress towards peace ana con-

BEALS & TOKREY SHOE co,
The Old Way Versus the New
5000 Pairs 1. Day

About three years "gO there dlec
back in York state, a shoemaker who
had reached tho age of one hundred
and five years. He has always been a
shoemaker. During the first part OF
his life he never worked in shop.
There were no shoemaker shops in
those days: the shoemaker went from
house to house, from farm to farm
and taking his bench and tools with
him established himself in corner of
the kitchen or living ROOM and
lived from a week to a month with
the family, fifth G out all its members
with "boots'' and shoes for a year
ahead. The stock of morocco. calf
"kip' and "cowhide, with some red
leather for the boys bout tops, was
supplied by the head of the family.
And what gossip the old shoemaker
was! he knew all about everybody,
and everything.
1t is far cry from those days TO
these. Now such a great firm as the
Beals & Torrey Shos company, makers
of Milwaukee shoes, turn out six
thousand pairs of finished shoes each
working day in their factory, and they
are better, neater, more dependable,
better fitting shoes than the old time
shoemaker could possibly make, try
he ever so hard, and it wuuld have
taken the old shoemaker twenty years
to have made one days output Of the
Beals & TOrrey's factory.
The Beals & Torrey Go s Milwau-
kee made shoes have a national repu-
tation for dependihility, style and
foot comfort, and justly so.-Milwau-
kee News.
Beals & Torrey Shoe Co. has large
factory in this city which makes the
above item of interest to the people
in Watertown.

Save a Little Each D'y

If we would make our expenses less
And save just little each day,
In the years to come we'd confess:
That there is truth in the lay:
every little bit added to W at you
have got,
Makes just little Bit mure.'
The trouble is, We spsnd al we earn
Neve, thinking of he days to cvme,
And then find fault, when We learn
That others have a good income;
For every little bit added to what
you have got,
Makes just little bit more"
There is plenty in this world for all,
And it is up to US to get ,ur share,
Should we neither fail nor fall.
Remembering the motto so rare:
every little biz added to what YOU
have got,
Makes just little bit more"

of the day, waiting On customers.
People were seen rushing in all
directions, loaded down. with their
purchases, which told of the ap-
preaching Christmas and presents to
be given on that day to loved ones.
There was considerable stock brough,
in for sale but most of those who
came, were more desirous of bu ing

was an ideal winter Gay and all

1t would be matter of int rest to
the public. If some one who has the
time and disposition to tabulate the
amounts spent by candidates in this
state privt to and following the p l.
mary election, September 3rd last.
The public would be astonished at
the enormous amount spent in the
aggregate, running up into the bun
dreds of thousands of dolIars-and it
should be re membered, that one-half
of the candidates were unsuccessful at
the primary election and at the polls.
In many instances, men spent far
more than their entire salary amounts
to for the office to which they aspired
One is almost forced to the conclusion
show in securing recognition, no mat
ter how able and deserving he may be.
And then, one cannot help believing
that those who are successful make
up their losses by means which would
hardly receive the approval of their
constituents. The cry of reform has
blinded the people to the real condi-
ton existing and it is now time for
real reform-getting back to first
principles-electn no man to office who
is persistent chronic office seeker.
Let each man announce his candidacy
and then let the voters of his party
make choice of the best and most
worthy of the aspirants and not put
the office up to be Knocked down to
the man whu has large bank account
or influential friends to back him.
