were hurried from camp and ordered
to advance on the Germans, who We're
on the other side of big wheat field
We not only advanced but in the end

into them like wild men. When we CT
tered the wheat field the German ma
chin guns were playing full upon it
and you could see the wheat heads
sway to and fro as if in the grip of 4
gentle breeze.
"You could hear the bullets singing
like hornets in front, to the side anj
behind and it seemed almost like d
miracle for any one to get through
The Huns were entrenched upon hill
and put up a good fight. Eighteen Of

How a Father Has Learned to
Save Shoe Bills.

My son is very hard on shoes, so
keeping him properly shod has been
quite an expense to me" writes Mr.. ].
Allison Allen, of Amity, Arkansas.
But since | started to buy Neolin-
soled shoes for him | have found that
it costs only about a third as much to
keep him in shoes.
This is because Ne0lin Soles are so
tough and durable that they wear a
very long time. Shoe bills are kept
down because you don't need SO many
pairs.
You can get Ne6lin-soled shoes at
almost any good shoe store. They
come in all styles and for all members
of the family. Ne6lin Soles are also
available everywhere for re-soling.
They are produced by scientific pro-
cess to be what soles ought to be: COM
Portable, waterproof and long wearing.
They are made by The GOODYEAR Tire
& Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, who
also make Wingfoot Heels, guaranteed
to outwear any other heels.
