s shoes $2 and 2.5O; great value.

One factory has won to highest place among makers of women s shoes to retail at $2 and $2.5O.
 These shoes come from that factory.
 You will know why that factory is rated as best, the moment you give these shoes a close inspection. They tell the story themselves; tell it clearly.
 They have a style you'd never look for in a low-pric- ed shoe. They are made of good strong leather. Are put together well. Have shapeliness which insures comfort. Will stand up no- ply under wear. And they look like shoes that would cost you a dollar more.
 Of course they cost the store more than shoes that ordinarily sell at these prices. But they are worth the difference. Satisfaction in selling good merchandise is worth something we never knew anybody to be disappointed in a pair. of these shoes.
 At $2.5O-

Charles Evans, Laugh
 Manufacturer, at Polls This Week
Former Real Star Presents a George Arliss Comedy Playlet, with Great Sue cess-Sutcliffe Troupe of Pipers, Clark & Bergman and Several Other Acts Score.

Score.
 In the old days "Charlie" Evans, then of Evans & Hoey, used to make 'em laugh with the late Charles Hoyt's comedy, "A Parlor Match That was some years ago, but Evans is still ing different vehicle. MT. Evans, the youthful appearing comedian, de- spite his gray hairs, convulsed a big audience of first nighters at Polls, last act comedy playlet by George Arliss, entitled, Its Up to You William" The sketch deals with two somewhat sporty Enslfshmen who on the pretext of going a health voyage to Am erica sneak away from their unsus- pecting wives for a bully time in Scot land at the country place of their friend, Jack McGray. During their steamship upon which they were SUD- posed to have sailed is reported hav- ing foundered with every soul on board The wives of William War sporting Englishmen, don widows weeds and deeply bewail their terrible affliction.
 One fine day, however, Waring and Lawson turn up. scare the maid into mysteries, and their appearance has about the same effect upon Mrs. War ing. and Mrs. Lawson. Naturally it's time for William and Henry to offer explanations. Iney QO, or ratner they try to.
 Knowing nothing of the reported dis aster to the vessel upon which they said they were to sail for America they tell brave yarn about the pleasant passage they had. As might be expected William and Henry be- come considerably involved in their at tempted explanations. The playlet offers unexcelled opportunities for clever comedy and MT. Evans and his supporting company of three take ad- vantage of every opportunity. The sketch is one of the laugh-hits of the season here.
 novelty that surprised and pleas last nights audience was the Sutcliffe Troupe of Scotch pipers, drummers, dancers and acrobats. Attired in Highland costume the Satellites. num- bering seven, played the bagpipes, ex- ecute ed some Highland dances and per formed some remarkable acrobatics. The act is plainly European novelty and pleases immensely.

 The Banks-Brazeale Duo offer a dainty and pleasing musical act, in troducing work on the violin, cello, piano and brass instruments.

Germans and EnqIish Humor.

Simplicissimus holds first place in the European field of humorous jour nals. Its politics are neutral; it's pol icy to go for everybody under the sun that is worth going for. There was a time when these tendencies brought their wrath of the kaiser down full upon them, and artist and editor and publisher were all clapped into prison for six months reflection on the sins of the press. But those days are gone for Germany. Lese majeste has prac- tically died a placid death-in Southern Germany at any rate-Prussia having still to keep a more docile expression in the presence of her king than her relatives of the south.
 The place filled in the world of comic journalism by Simplicissimus is as unique in some ways as that filled by Punch in England. Punch, however. is essentially the humorous paper of the British better classes. while Sim plicissimus reaches every class in the German empire, from the homes of the aristOcrats to the penny beer hall of the poor.
 Punch brides himself on being the very plIh bl plppiltlN anu TtSptNOdbll- ity. fit feast for the virgin mind of the lisping first-bOrn, and for the an cient grand dame of Berkley Square. while Simplicissimus preens itself (no gender), on going to the other extreme and making its pages coarse enough to satisfy the most vulgar and to dis may the most refined.
 The one point these two journals have in common is their round table" and the individual coterie of artists that gather round it once a week to discuss and decide upon the chief sub jects for the weeks issue. Each man is supposed to be armed with a joke or two when he appears on the scene If he hasn't he is told to make tracks until he finds one! Having his joke, he submits it to the criticism of the editor and fellow contributors, who quqickly enough and bluntly, decide upon its merits. - From "The Comic Journals of Europe" in the July Bo- hemian.

WOODS SUPERINTENDENT ON CANTALOUPE CONDITIONS
Is Very Optimistic Over the Outlook For Prices This Season.

NJ NJ. Cox. whose arrival was an nounced in yesterday mornings Re publican as the superintendent of ship ping for the H Woods Commission company of Chicago, is very optimistic over the cantaloupe condition in gen eral. He is just from the Imperial val ley and states that even though the cantaloupes are going out as high as 5 cars per day that the price does not seem to be hammered down in the least and is holding up exceedingly well under the condition. MT. Cox is conservative above everything else. He has seen the bottom drop out of the cantaloupe market over night until the growers had to feed their crops to their hogs or let them rot in the field and then again he has seen men get rich in single season. It is probably this having been through the mill that makes him conservative. When he sees good prices ahead or at least no destructive low prices it must be taken for granted that he is optimistic and his opinion can generally be de- pended upon.
 When seen yesterday he was not in position to give out any information ais he had not seen any of the melon fields and very few of the growers. The only thing he was able to give out was concerning prices. The growers are sure that they can reproduce the goods

A FREAK OSTRICH.

Lew Ellsworth, the foreman of the Chandler ranch northeast of town and in charge of the ostrich farm was able to witness one of the most peculiar freaks in his experience. The incuba- tor in which the ostrich eggs are matched produced a bird with four legs. three wings, two necks and one head. When the chick first came out of the shell it seemed as active as any of the other normal youngsters but in a short time it began showing signs of drowsiness and within a half hour from the time of it's first earthly ap- perance it was dead. The egg from which the freak was matched appeared normal in every way. It was sat upon by the male and female birds in turn as is their habit for the first twenty five days when it was placed in the in cubator. for the remaining ten to fif- teen days that are required to hatch an ostrich egg Unfortunately the specimen was not preserved.

GARDEN TRUCK PLENTIFUL

Watermelons Attractive But Coming
 Down-Tomatoes Remain Steady.

The local stores generally are full of garden truck and green things gener- ally from the clerk who throws a pen cil over his ear and asks if 'that'll be all' to the lettuce in the rear stalls that has been revived for the last time.
 Watermelons are probably more in evidence at the present time and are selling well. They are retailing at 1 F to cents per pound as the growers are or rather have been able. to keep the price well up toward the ceiling but they have at last taken to the to- began and within a few days will be down to a figure where most anyone can have a melon between meals.
 Peaches began arriving a few days ago. Saturday was the first day that any amount was placed on sale going at 10 cents per pound. The variety is extra large.
 Cantaloupes are getting common but continue to make people stop to ask the price before ordering a half dozen sent down to the house. They are holding close to the five cents each mark. The choice ones going a little higher while the culls are cheaper Gu cumbers are firm at cents per pound. Corn continues a good seller at 15 cents a dozen.
 Tomatoes as usual are holding up in great shape. Ten cents per pound has been held fast for several days The growers who are so fortunate as to be in on the early tomato market are making good money. Summer squash continues to hang around at 3 cents per pound. Plumbs and apricots con tinue to go at from to cents per pound.

The play itself is one of the strongest of its kind. It is full of thrilling climaxes and the military spirit ebbs and flows throughout. The production will be under the auspices of the local militia.
 The seeming artists have been at work for some time as a special set ting is necessary for the successful staging of the play.
