the old meeting place, with about %
scouts answering to the roll call. We

Mr. C. /, Mcdonald
A motion was put before the troop
by the scoutmaster that all scouts who
are now tenderfeet, and who don't pass
their second class test by Jan. 1, be
dropped from the troop roll. The mo-
tion was passed by the scouts.
After the troop was dismissed, we
had several boxing matches. which
proved to be very interesting. as several
of the scouts went away with black

The advertisements are
more than type and talk

The reason that the world is so much more

is because advertising has made it possible for
merchants and manufacturers to tell you what
they have to offer, without waiting for the
news to spread by word of mouth
The advertiser has been able to tell many peo-
pie at once about his goods In this way he can
sell great many more articles in a given time
and therefore more cheaply. Because Of adj
vertising it has been possible to invent develop
and market countless articles of comfort that
you think of as necessities, which some
years ago even the wealthy could not have

MILADY'S SHOES TO

RETAILERS ANNOUNCE. A
RIOT OF COLOR IN TOPS.

Husband will gasp at wifey's hat
bills this fall, but he will groan and
almost collapse at her shoe bills, ac-
cording to wholesalers, who declare
that prices are advancing steadily.
Both wholesalers and retailers are
pessimistic about the future in the
shoe business, as far as prices are
concerned, for the foreign demand
is eating up the supply of leather
and boosting the cost from week to
week.
Calf skin leather of a medium
quality is now bringing $1.30 a
square foot, according to a promi-
nent shoe dealer Kid leather is clear
out of sight, with the positive as
surance from wholesalers that it will
be no cheaper.

tops will be the chic style for fall,
with a generous sprinkling of button
models, built closely along the lines
of the lace shoe. Most of the lace
shoes will have blind eyelets. AS for
the cut, the vamps will be longer and
narrower than ever, with French
heels for dress and Louis heels for
street.
Colored tops will come back into
their own; especially the gray and
field mouse tops with black kid or
patent calf-skin in mahogany brown
with military heels will lead in popu-
larity. Oxfords in tans and browns
will be worn late in the fall with
wooden stockings of fancy weave and
coloring to add a touch of novelty
The low shoes for dancing and eve
ming wear will be high heled pumps
with cut steel buckles. Smart models
in black suede and satin will be one
of the seasons innovations.

WON'T OFFER BILL TO

CITY COURT JUDGE AND SOLICI-
TOR WILL CONTINUE TO BE
APPOINTED. OTHER BILLS.

The recent recommendation by
the board of county commissioners
that local bill be passed making
the judge and solicitor Of the city
court elective by the people will not
bring about a change in the manner
of selecting these officials. They will
continue to be appointed by the gov
ernor.
DIR. O. G. Crawford, representative
in the legislature, has stated to The
News he will not introduce the bill.
He says he has no evidence that the
people want to elect these officials.
Should popular demand for this
legislation arise, he declares, there
will be ample time after the present
session of the legislature to pass it
before the terms of the incumbent
expire in 1922.
DR.. Crawford has introduced and
will push to passage the two other To-
cal measures that were recommend
ed by the county commissioners.
One of these is bill to regulate
the payment of the salary of the SO,
licitor of the city court, requiring all
collections of fines and forfeitures
to be paid into the county treasury
and the solicitor paid monthly by
warrant drawn by the commissioners
on the treasury.
The other bill which will be pass
ed is to authorize payment from the
county treasury to officers of the
superior and city courts costs in mis-
demeanor cases where time is served
in the chaingang.

GEORGIA HAS PHENOMENON
IN LARGE DISAPPEARING LAKE
Water Escapes Every Few Years and
Returns as Before.

Returns as Before.
In Georgia, near Valdosta, there
is a lake which disappears every
three or four years and then comes
back again, no matter what the
weather is like.
The lake is three miles long and
three-quarters of mile wide, with
an average depth of IL feet of water.
There are natural subterranean pass
ages beneath it, through which the
water passes off.
1t takes two or three weeks to dis
appear, when a mammoth basin is
left in it's place, which furnishes a
beautiful sandy beach. After a month
or SO the water begins to return, and
then in couple of weeks it is the
same magnificent stretch of water as
it was before.
