Better buy the
ChiLdren's
shoes nOU

This advice is prompted
by the fact that many
wise parents have been
buying school shoes these
past few weeks, taking ad-
vantage of the lower prices
of shoes which will neces-
sarily be higher in price
when new shipments come
in the Fall.
Two examples
Excellent wearing shoes
which we now have in good sup
ply, but which cannot be re-
placed at the price.
Girls black buttoned
shoes, welted and stitched:
sizes 81 to 1917, 81.
sizes IL to 2, $3.50.
sizes PA to 6, SIS.
Girls tan lace shoes:
sizes II to 2, So.
sizes 21a to 6, Sc.
These are only two out of
many shoes for girls, small boys
and for babies, that are still SELL
ing at old prices.

The Muddy
Mountain
Streams

disappoint fishermen whose pic
turesque camps are pitched
along the beautiful Juniata, as
the fish in these streams only
travel when the water is clear. =.
After the successive Fhowers
of a few days ago all the
streams, like Shorer's Creek,
were OVERLOOKING their banks
and at least two feet higher, and
still worse, we're of the color of
the dusty country roads.
II was interesting and useful
to notice a crystal stream pour
ing out of the rocks, which kept
its purity for a long time as II
leaped from rock to rock, but
lost it entirely in sixty seconds
when it joined itself to be com
pany with the swollen and
soiled creek reaching up to 1t
and sweeping on to the river.
To be born pure and sweet
amid the beauties of nature and
to run along for a time without
a stain and then suddenly plunge
into the giddy, noisy company
of even an old neighbor and be-
come a part of tainted life and
lose identity entirely, seems an
awful downfall.
The shifting currents of life
must be watched closely and
guarded carefully, lest they en-
gulf US and endanger all our
future days.
A business life can be as
highly honorable as any other,
if we keep clear of entangling
alliances.

The preliminary status of the great
Industrial struggle which opened to-

United States Steel Corporation,
which directly or indirectly affects a
half milliol wage earners, produced
the usual conflicting claims by the
generals on both sides.
In the great strategic centers of the

reports stated that comparatively few
plants were closed. At a large num-

ing satisfaction with the outlook and
claiming that reports from outside the
Pittsburgh district showed that the
shut down was general.
An important feature Of the situa-

ployed by the Bethlehem Steel COM
pahy that these men would not join
the strike pending an attempt to OBJ
tain a conference with the company

Some of the blast furnaces in the

the majority of the plants were in
operation although admittedly with
forces reduced from fifteen per cent to
sixty six per cent.
In the Chicago district including
Gary and Hammond, where 10000

conditions were reported.
At Cleveland the union leaders
