CUT YOUR SHOE BILLS
WITH NEOLIN SOLES

~Ihe answer to the problem Of shoe
wear lies in the use Of Neolin Soles -
so says H. L. Evans Of SteubenviLls
Ohio.
For fvemonths, . says Nh. Evans, Il
have been wearing the same pair OF
Neolin-soled shoes at my work at the
La Belle Iron Works and they are
good for two months more wear. As
my work takes me to all parts Of the
mill daily where / have to walk over
cinders, Stag, etc, it is simply out Of
the question to buy anything else to
take the place Of Neolin Soles."
You too-and your whole family-wil
find Ne6lin-soled shoes wear long and
so save money. You can get them in the
styles you like at almost any good shoe
store. And any repairman will re-sole
your worn shoes with Neolin Soles-
scientifically made to be durable, COM
Portable and waterproof. They are
made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Company, Akron, Ohio, who also make
Wingfoot Heels-guaranteed to out
wear any other heels.

Mems Banquet at M. E. Church.

The banquet given by the Mems
Glass of the Methodist church last
Thursday evening was a notable
occasion and in every way very
successful. Forty men. hungry and
eager for food, intellectual, spiritlI-
al and material, gathered at the
church at $50. spent a half hour
getting acquainted and at O'Clock
sat down to well spread feast
prepared by a committee of the
Ladies Aid and served by dozen
of the young ladies of the church.
The table was beautifully decOrat-
ed. After due justice to the appe-
tizing meal, John Adkins. acting as
toastmaster. short speeches were
made by the teacher of the class,
Prof. X. A. Shanner. q. w. Smelt-
zer and c. A. Jewett. Judge J. C.
Horn of Lamar and the pastor Rev.
Adams then spoke on themes sug-
gested by the Methodist Centena-
ry and on Bible study. The eve
ming was well spent and heartily
enjoyed by all. An early repeti.
tiOn of the event is called for by
the men.

Woods Drug Store Robbed.

Some time during Saturday night
the cash register in Woods North
Side drug store was robbed of its
contents something less than one
hundred dollars Sheriff Downing
took up the hot trail Sunday morn
ing, and decided that the theft had
been accomplished Dy Gilbert
Thorpe and one Cummings. The
latter is thought to have had exper-
ience in similar undertakings,
while the former seems to have
been a rank novice. Sheriff Down
ing went to La Junta today to take
Cummings in custody, while Thorpe
was captured Sunday afternoon as
he aIighted from No. IL, after spen-
ding the early morning hours in
La Junta. 1t seems the men after
securing the booty, boarded No 5,
but soon concluded it was safer
not to get too far away.-Lamar

The Motor Dealer & Service
Article No. 8
Statesmen AS They Should Be
BY l.. II. HAGERLING

In the old days the motor car sales
men told you not to buy from this OF
that house because this or that own
er had grievance. In all proba-
bility the actual causes of the trou-
bles were never determined. 1t is
an actual fact that many knocks
have been passed on because only
one side of the story had been pre-
sented and an undue injustice has
been placed at some dealers door due
to this fact.
You have experienced motor car
salesman who makes no direct as
sertions of detrimental character but
leaves inferences, watch that sales
man and see how long he holds n
position and to what degree he sue
ceeds. An enterprising dealer will
not tolerate such representation. 1t
is reflection upon his own mer-
chandise.
Disparaging statements come back
and act like boomerang. The deal
er who succeeds invariably associates
himself with a good car and a good
factory and grows as they grow. He
is too busy with his own business
trif1e with knocking.
AOu nave OLltH 1t Sdlu lndI
there are few people who can think
in more than three figures. Just as
soon as the man begins to get into
four figures and higher he is be-
yond this thinking step. 1t is true
that there must be capacity for
growth.
The man who aims high must
have the necessary ability and quail
ficatiOn. do Won helieye thesa ouali-
fications are obtainable by knock
ing? The salesmen who has an
agreeable personality, a smiling face,
business force, common horse sense,
alertness. industry and stick to-it-
iveness. will go far on the road to
success. There is no magic formula
that can be used in the sale of auto
mobiles. Good hard work and a lot
of common horse sense form the
basis of selling success.
There are six big points that com
mand the salesman when closing a

GOT GOOD IDEA FROM HUNS
French Scientist Has Adapted Idea
Which Made "Big Bertha" For
midable to Aerial Travel.

When the Germans accidentally dis
covered that projectile fred from a
big Bertha normally designed for
range of from Is to 30 miles would
achieve range of about three times
the normal by simply elevating the
muzzle so that the projectile would
travel through the rarefied air in the
high altitude they unwittingly con-
tributed an idea which may revOlu-
tionize aerial travel. The resistance
to progress of an object in the upper
reaches of the air is very much less
than In the denser atmosphere Of the
lower attitudes, but the rarity of oxy-
gen in the higher attitudes reduces
the efficiency of the gasoline engine
by as much as 80 per cent.
To overcome this. remarks the Van
couver Sun. a French inventor has at
tached an automatic air condenser to
the exhaust, and air with a normal
content of oxygen Is thus supplied to
the engines which, retaining their
normal power, drive the plane through
the rarefied air at a greatly accelerat.
ed speed.
1t is now said to be possible, with
this improvement, to cross the Allan
tic In one day.
