speech:

$500 or $1,000 worth of shoes -

of shoe that every person will ask for.
Shoes for people who have too little
money and shoes for folks who have
all the money they need: all good
shoes. but made for different uses. We
have shoes for all ages and conditions
Of life-for men and women of all
ages. There are suits. too. which the
shoes will match and socks to match
the shoes: cravatS and ties that will
wear in good taste with the rest of the
outfit.
Take look at this, and Mr.. keeth
flashed ladies' silks before the daZzled
vision of the reporter. such as no mar

The things are very beautiful, hut look
rather costly. All the same, great
many people in Plain Dealing buy such
things. and husbands and fathers re-

shreveport. 1t became known last
week that the adjustment was being
made and that Il new rate would soon

sired equalization.
Hitherto the tariff Oh cotton shiplpd

PARIS CELEBRATES
FOURTH OF JULY
Gala Performance of Faust"
with Foch and Pershing as
Guests Is One of the Features
of the Day
REAL WILD WEST PARADE
Popcorn, Peanuts. Lemonade and Ice
Cream Help the Americans Remem-
her Home-The Weather, However.
Does Not Fit the Holiday

Paris, July 4. (By the Associated
Press.)-A gale performance Of Faust
at the opera with Marshal Foch and
General Pershng as the specially
honored guests. concluded the notable
joint French and American celebration
of the Fourth of July. which opened with
an early morning review commemorate
ing Frances participation in the Ameri-
can Revolution and afforded varied enter
tainments for the thousands of Ameri-
cans marking time in Paris while await
ing transportation homeward.
There was even a real Wild West
parade down the Champs Elysees and
through the Place De La Concorde given
by an American army circus showing in
Paris. The cowboys. cowgirls and Indians
riding gaily through the Place De La
Concorde to the music of Wild West
band proved a far greater attraction to
the French than the brilliant military
spectacle.
Popcorn peanuts, lemonade and ice
cream were offered in abundance by
! the various service canteens. and flag
sellers were displaying badges of the
American colors everywhere. The
weather man, however, did not offer
sufficient heat to make 1t a typical
American celebration and speed up the
ball games and races. The sky was
| overcast the entire day.
The tremendous ovation given Mar
shall Foch at the American Chamber
of Commerce luncheon, and his re-
Spouse to persistent demands for a
| speech, was one of the most pleasant
features of the celebration.
