V/OU folks who buy shoes, ponder
on this! Read every word
You are paying for your shoes
ten, twenty, maybe thirty per cent.
over net basic cost. The exact amount
of this percentage depends on lOhere
and when you buy, and from 1clsom.
Because the Retailerfeels he must
have twenty per cent. average profit
on his goods to keep him happy. And
the average Manufacturer wants ten
to fifteen.
Now comes the Regal Shoe Company,
with four enormous factories, employ
ing over 5000 hands, making nearly
tU0 million pairs of $3.50 to $3.50
shoes last year-and offers you its en-
tire output at just exactly FiUe Per
Cent. Profit over measured, sworn-to,
cost.
Think of that Five per cent. above
certified cost, instead of possibly fif-
teen, twenty, thirty per cent. above
parable cost. And this from the same
company that gave you the Buzz Saw

the Factory-to-C Consumer plan and to-
day sells it's output in 43 States through
nearly 1000 Regal Shoe Stores and
Agencies.
This new $50 Profit" departure in
Regal Shoe selling comes from the one
shoe Concern in the world that has
always given you not only advanced
styles but advanced economic methods
of selling.
The Regal "Cost Plus SO" plan
means for US larger volume of bust
ness-of course. But for you it means
emancipation from the "Get-phat-
you-can method of selling goods.
Itmeans that you need no longer be
the slave of a trade-custom that arbi-
trarily fixes prices at the selling end
instead Of at the making end.
Five per cent. above cost means
for you-a direct, positive, knOsUn
saving in shoe money that you can see
with your eyes and feel with your
hands. 1t means a p0siti1e, accurate
system Of buying and selling that OPP

economy in every locality on the map.

INVESTIGATION BY THE STATE
AS far as the writer has been able to
ascertain, all of the drainage investiga-
lions by the state. so far, have been
carried on by the State Geological Sur
veys with the exception of Col r. L.
Hunters survey of the Okehnokee
swamp made in 1867 during the. ad-
minstrAtion of Gov H Y, john
SON In a report Of this survey Colonel
Hunter furnished to the governor map
of the swamp, with, the elevation around
bitches it was estimated would drain
the swamp at cost of sl,067,-
$50. The map here referred to was
lost during the Civil war, but fortu-
unately a part of Colonel Hunters re-
port has been made.
On November 4, 1875, by direction of
Gov. j, NJ Smith, the party of the
Geological Survey operating In south
ern Georgia. joined the CONSTITUTION
EApculIlOn organized Dy the AAldnld
Constitution for exploring Okefinokee
swamp. and remained in the swamp UNI
til December IA. A line of levels was
run by Mr. c. A. Lkcke. engineer of the
Geological Survey. from Mixons Ferry
on Suwanee river to Traders Hill on
ST. Mary's. showing tile elevations at
various points. During the following
year, a map was prepared by the Mr..
NJ 7. Singleton. assistant engineer of
the Geological Survey, showing the To-
cation of this line, as wen as of other
lines run by Mr. Locke and Mr.. Pendle-
ton. On this map, a copy OF which is
to be seen in the Office of the secretary
Of state were entered the lines run by
Col. Hunter.
Law AMENDED
subsequently to the last named date no
action was apparently taken by the
state until 1894, when the following
amendment to the law establishing the
Geological Survey was enacted:
1T shall also be the duty of said state
geologist to make a survey of the wa
ter courses. ponds, lakes and swamp re-
gion OF Georgia. and submit, in the re-
port provided for, typographical map
showing the location, extent, means. and

Of the cost of said drainage OF the ponds,
