HOW TO SAVE ON SHOES

"Cut Ct curiosity tried a pair of
Ne0lin Solcs, writes W. F. Mccartney
Of St. Louis, and today, after five
months Of hard service l fail to notice
any real signs Of wear on them"
This statement points the way to
real economy in shoes. What your
shoes cost, by tie year, depends largely
on how the solos wear and Nc0lin Soles
do wear a very long time. Moreover,
they are exceedingly comfortable and
overwhelmingly made to be
exactly what sclcs should be and so
worn now by millions.
They are available everywhere on
new shoes and for re-soling. They are
made by The Goodyear Tire & Rub
Der Company, Akron, Ohio, who also
make Wingfoot Heels, guaranteed to
outwear any other heels.

PUBLIC SERVICE SUED
MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL WANT
" RATES SET ASIDE.

The Mayor and Common Council of
Westminster have entered suit
against the Public Service Commis-
sion, in the Circuit Court for Carroll
County, to set aside the rates for
public utility service established for
the Consolidated Public Utilities
Company.
The bill states that the rates fixed
upon the aforesaid erroneous valua-
ton are necessarily unreasonable
and unfair to the community Of
Westminster in whose behalf these
proceedings are instituted. 1t also
says that it is far more expensive to
pump by electricity, the present
method than by steam, the old way.
Figures in the bill proximate that
it will cost double by the present
system in a year. And so much of
the order of Public Service Com
mission as fixes the value of the wa
ter property, schedule of rates and
rules fixed to be vacated and set
aside

Organized.

At a recent meeting of the West
minister Council, Boy Scouts of
America, the Adjutant- General of
Maryland, through Capt Waigle,
custodian of the Westminster Ar
mory, submitted an order, rendering
to the Boy Scouts the use of one of
the rooms in the Armory for Scout
Headquarters, upon the condition
that athletic apparatus be secured,
and exercises he regularly attended by
the Scouts. After discussion by the
council, lit was ordered that the
council constitute itself nucleus

er. House Committee, Oscar ID. Gil
bert, Arthur p Rainey, and Capt.
John N. Weigle.
1t is the opinion of the council
that the citizens of Westminster are
very fortunate in receiving the gen.
erous consideration of the Adjutant-
General of Maryland, and should
embrace the opportunity Of support
ing movement for the equipment
of the Armory for the physical i'm
provement of our boys and girls and
those adults that wish to avail
themselves of the use of the athletic
equipment with which it is proposed
to equip the Armory. The estimated
cost of the equipment is $4,000.
