PROTECTING THE PUBLIC
Against Exhavqgant Prices for Good Shoes .

There is such thing as trust in the peo-
pie, for the people and by the people.
For many years the immense buying power
OF our stores working as unit, has brought
to our customers advantages either in price or
in better merchandise.
Now turning this organization into real
preparedness in advance we have ACCOMPLISHED
really wonderful things.
For instance:
We own and have actually on
hand thousands of pairs of shoes for
men, women and children, which, to-
gether with orders placed, will safe
guard the public against extravagant
prices so long as these stocks last.
These shoes were bought more favor
ably, we believe, than any stocks of
like variety anywhere in Washington.
Because retail dealers always buy ahead
to certain extent, and because shoe manu-
facturers always lay in leather ahead of their
orders, the retail advance in the prices of shoes
has not been so great as the wholesale advance
on shoes or in the cost of leather.
Leather has advanced between
lOO and 2OO%, according to the
grades, during the past two years. All
other materials used in Shoes together
with labor, have advanced in cost also.
Retail prices of shoes have ad-
vanced generally SO per cent. Whole:
sale prices now 1000o higher than
formerly. They are still advancing.
With our large business, shoes keep COM
ing in and going out of this store in a steady
stream all the time, and it is only by placing
unduly large orders in advance in times of
stress, such as these, that we are able to keep
down the prices
There are thousands of pairs of
shoes in our stocks -good-looking,
good wearing and good -fittins-of.
the staple, palmer sorts, on which we
have not advanced prices at all.
There is not group of shoes in our stocks
that has not been bought much below today's
market prices.
And today's wholesale market prices are
lower than tomorrow's will be- Wholesale
costs are still going higher. Leather is getting
scarcer.
But at present-and at Berberich's-retail
prices on good shoes are lower than people
imagine from stories appearing in the news
papers

AS TO THE FUTURE.

1t is uncertain. The outlook is that shoes
will continue to cost more, even though the
war ends suddenly, unless there is radical
change in fashion and substitutes are used for
leather

WISHING FOR THE GOOD
OLD DAYS

The sage says that when man
grows Retrospective, he begins to
show signs- of old age. If that is
true and tur contemporary the
Thibodarf Commercial journal
is guilty i being old fashion, be
.auoc of fine sentiment it here
expresses we want to be in that
class ourselves. Here is what
Francis knobloch remarked some
few days ago: When you think
of the modern world, Of It's dash
and daring, of ITS questionable
amuscments, Of its scant attire,
of its paints plastered young So
ciety ladies', and its animal dan
ccs, and when you hear It's sens
ual music, its suggestive jokes,
and see many a fine young man
and many a lovely young girl
slowly but gradually brushing
away their seemingly prubish
ideas, and recalling closer to-
wards this vortex Of pleasure and
man revclrics, don't YOU wish
deep down in your heart that we
lived again i'll the old, old ways
of more dress, more manners and
ere real happiness ?'-Assump-

A NEGRO SUCCESSFULLY
FIGHTS BOIL WEEVIL.

According to reports from Al
ALBANIA, a negro Of that state has
discovered a method Of combat
ing the boil wecvil, and has sue
cccded in raising cotton which is
not bothered in the slightest by
the pest. If these reports are
true that the negro method de
serves investigation and a thor
ough test as to its efficiency.
The Montgomery Advertiser
describes the method as follows:
John McDuf, a negro planter
SIX miles east of the city has
worked out a novel and seeming

acres Of the finest cotton in the
country and not q single weevil
was ever found in it. On being
asked how he killed them, he
said he did not kill them, but pre-
vents their coming to his cotton.
McDuff is an intelligent man and
originated the method Of running
them away himself. If it is a
fact, as is claimed, he has found
the long sought method Of pre-
venting the waste of millions Of
dollars in the South through the
ravages of this pest.
"The method is very simple.
McDuff takes crude oil. tar and
camphor gum. Tie puts these in
a pot and boils them. With suf-
ficient oil. tar and camphor gum.
He puts these in a pot and boils

mixture to make it liquid. he vets
common croker sacks in the mix
ture, then he squeezes them as dry
as he thinks necessary. He says
that if too much Of the mixture is
used it will kill the young cotton.
The wet sacks are fastened by a
drag stick attached to the pillow
beam. Each week the crop is
plowed and dragged over with
these saturated sacks both sides
Of the cotton getting a touch
from the fumes Of the mixture.

sire to serve the country seems
to have vanished. The time to

would approximate the 10th of

somewhat earlier in the extreme
