CHAPTER V-Contlnued.

To Aunt Deel wagon grease was
the worst eaemy of a happy and re-
spectacle home.
We hltched our team to the grass
hopper spring wagon and set out on
our journey. 1t was a warm, hazy
Indian-summer day In November. As
we passed "the mill" we saw the ST.
lent Woman looking out Of the little
window of her room above the black
smith shop-a low, weather-stained,
frame building, hard by the main
road, with a narrow hanging stair on
the side of 1t.
"She keeps watch by the winder
when she amt travelln'," said Uncle
Peabody. "Knows all that's goln'
on-that woman-knows who goes to
the village an how long they stay.
When Grimsnaw goes by they say she
hustles off down the road In her rags.
She looks like u sick dog herself, but
I've heard that sine keeps that room
o. hers Just as neat as q ,pin."
Near the village we passed a smart
looking buggy, drawn by a spry-foot-
ed Horse In shiny harness. Then ]
noticed with a pang that our wagon
was covered with dry mud and that
our horses were rather bony and our
harness a kind of lead color. SO !
was In an humble state of mind when
we entered the village.
There was a crowd of men and
women In front of Mr.. Wrlght's Office
and through its open door | saw many
Of his fellow townsmen. We waited at
the door for n few minutes. l crowded
in while Uncle Peabody stood talk
ing TO a vlllager. The Senator caught
sight of me and came to my side and
put his hand on my head and said:
"Hello, Bart How you've grown
and how handsome you lookl Where's
your uncle7"
Hes there by the door," l an
swered.
'Well, les 60 and see him."
Mr.. Wright was stouter and grayer
and grander than when l had seen
him last. He was dressed in black
brondcloth AM wore a big beaver hat
and high collar and his hair was al
most white. / remember wildly his
clear, kindly. gray eyes and rudy
cheeks.
"Bayncs, I'm glad TO see you," he
said heartily. "Did we bring me any
jerked meat2"
'Didn't think of It," said Uncle
Peabody. "But I've got a nice young
doe all Jerked an II you're fond o
jerk I'll bring We down some to-mor
rer."
"Td like to take some to Washing
ton, but / wouldn't have you bring
Il so far"
"rd like TO bring It'll want 8
chance to talk with We for half al
hour or such a matter" said my un
Gle. i've got a little trouble on my
hands"
The Senator took us into his Office
and introduced us to the leading mer
of the county.
Here" said che Senator as he pui
his hand on my head, sis a coming
man In the Democratic party"
The great men laughed at m,
bushes and we came away with 1
deep sense OF pride in us. At last
felt equal to the ordeal of meeting
the D~unkelbergs. My uncle must hav,
shared my feeling, for, to my delight
he went straight to the basement
store above which was the modes
sign. al. ~DunkelberS. Produce
"Well l swami" said the merchan
In the treble voice which l remem
bered so well, This Is Bart and Pea
bodyl How are your

Gle being too slow of speech to sui
my sense of proprety. How is Sal

The two men laughed heartily, mucl
60 my embarrassment.
Hes getting right down to bust
cess" said my uncle.

Army Recruiting Station.

Just as we were about to decide
that Pvt. first-class, Riddle, couldn't
get married, he ups and fools us, .
as well as if he had been trained to
do such tricks.
We have not found out yet, how
he fooled Miss Barry into becoming
Mrs. Riddle, but the writer suspi-
cions that Forester MsSpedden and
Miss Trixie Morris were implicated,
as thew stood right there at the
wedding and didn't tell the girl or
the preacher to stop it-but just let
the poor girl go ahead, like she was
getting a bargain.
Albert Fitzgerald, of Trimble, was
accepted for a second enlistment, in
the Motor Transport Corps, and was
forwarded to Nashville, last Friday.
Sergeant Bennett, of this station
spent last Monday in Dyer and Ken
ton, in the interest of the Army.
Lexie Forester of Crockett, was
accepted for three year enlistment
in the M. T. Corps last Tuesday, and
left for Nashville Wednesday, to take
his medical examination for enlist
ment.
Private first-class, Riddle and wife,
are recruiting in Dresden during the
fair, and the recruiting party wishes
them happy and successful trip.
Sergeant Bennett says they will be
sure to have a nice time, he knows,
because he hears something about
the nice times that soldiers show
their families, every day.
Harvey p. Larkin, of Gleason, en-
listed for the second time through
the Union City recruiting station,
last Wednesday.
Mr.. Larkin went through the late
war with Battery c, 115th Field Ar
tillery, 30th Division, and had
share of the rough stuff on four diff
crent fronts, and he knows how
whiz-bang sounds, and how mix
ture of burnt powder, gas, blood and
mud smells.
Now why should we think that the
men who won the war are not all
right, and still have the chips on
their shoulders.
Sergeant Bennett says: Laying all
jokes aside, Riddle and his bride are
sweet little couple and they are
very much appreciated on the recruit
ing party. We hope they will re-enlist
next year, and stay in the best army
in the world.

Roberts Sees Breakers.

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. T. A con-
dition of unrest and potential law
lessness exists in Tennessee at pre-
sent, according to Gov. Roberts, who
spoke at the Rotary Club Tuesday.
"The negro situation is serious"
he said, many leading negroes have
written me letters asking me to help
them secure some acceptable basis on
which two races can live side by
side, and | have received letters from
prominent businesc men to the effect
that within the past 80 days gun
smiths have repaired more pistols for
negroes than ever before. They say
also that more ammunition has been
sold in. that time to negroes and
whites of the caliber that would start
trouble.
"If we would avoid reign of
bloodshed we must take en- interest
in the government, else those who dis
believe in organized government will.
A system of government that is vacil-
lating and weak in its federal state,
county or city branches is inadequate
to cope with the trend of times. No
link in the chain must be weak for
lawless men are the first to recognize
weakness in governmontvand take adj

SHOES

Don't get excited about shoe costs.
The press notices to the effect that
-'$25.00 and up" shoes are in sight Is
largely a myth. There always have
been $500 shoes and about one per-
son in ten thousand would pay this
price. There always have been $1,000
to $500 shoes, and numbers of people
would buy these shoes-possibly be-
cause they matched a dress" or for
some other equally important reason.
There always have been shoes for
dress-up and street wear, retailing
from $500 to $500 for the past ten
years. Our shoes retailing at $500 to
$4,000 before the war, now sell at
$500 to $500, showing an advance In
price of So 10 to $500 pen pair.
We, as leaders in our line, have
always carried some OF the newest
and best shoes for those who want
the latest thing in style and, Of course.
merchandise of this kind costs more
than plain staple goods. These shoes
interest men and women who like to
wear exclusive" styles and can af-
ford it.
There always have been work shoes
$500 to 5000 for hard wear. There
always have been boys and girls
shoes at similar prices. The shoes Of
this kind which we sold before the
war at $500 to $500 were sold during
the war at from $500 to $500 and are
being sold now at $3.50 to $500.
The advance in the price of our
shoes in four years averages about
$500 to $500 per pair.
Now, these are the facts about our
shoes, and it looks different from
the fiction which is being so largely
handed around the country about
''$25.O0 shoes"
The above quoted prices show the
advances which have been necessary
In our shoes, due to increasing cost

hides, leather, materials and labor.
plus the, intelligent and efficient SER
vices we render our customers.
Don't be talke into paying any
fancy or ridiculous prices for your
footwear Advances there are and
advances there will be-legitimate and
necessary. but nothing like the extra
vagent statements frequently made
about "$25.OO shoes" need give you a
moments concern.
And now a word of advice. Don't
speculate in shoes. Don't buy any
more than you need. Meaning, don't
hoard shoes, as some people are doing.
If you buy pair of shoes suited TO
your needs and take good care of them
and have them repaired when they
need repairing-ke them well half
soled and well heeled-you can save
n lot Of money on your footwear.
This is intended to give you a plain
statement about shoes, in contradic-
ton to the wild and extravagani
,rumors so presistently published
Throughout the country.

Allied troops were unable to advance
beyond the line Of enemy machine
guns while the Bolshevik artillery
maintained a certain sweep Of the
winding high road through the
woods.
Struggling waist deep in the soft
drifting snow the forces striking
from the east found flanking move
ment impracticable and they were
tWo-thirds of mile an hour.
The weather during the last few
days has again been extremely cold
and the Americans and others who
are living in Igloo-like Arctic tents.
are finding their first opportunity to
test these shelters. They are holding
the line to Omega and Obozerskaia.
Their big guns are moving up, drawn
by American mules, which are
steadily plodding ahead and conquer

drifts. The airplanes equipped with

The Bolsheviki are trying many
ruses. In the woods where the Allied
patrols are operating the enemy has

the enemy first raised Bolshoia-Ozera

of the little Allied garrison there was

concerning it, and who consequently

al presented the case to the board on
behalf of the state and city.
A complete statement by Mr.. Bangs

The chief feature of the hearing
was the testimony Of W. H. Hagenah'
of the firm Of Hagenah and Erickson:
engineers. who appraised the value OF
the company's property for the state
and city.
Exceptions were taken by the
Northern States Power company to
Hagenah and Erickson's valuation OF
the electric plant, which they claimed
was $11,350 low on the gas plant.
which they claimed was $13,680 low.
and on the steam heating plant and
system, which they claimed was So
NO75 low. No other evidence was-in-
troduced on behalf of the defendant
corporation.
Earnings Shown.
On cross examination. the state en-
gineer admitted that on his own val
uation which the Byllesby interests
claimed was too low, the electric
plant showed an earning of only Gil
per cent, the gas business only 2.8 per
cent, while the steam business was
shown to be operated at an actual
loss. The state engineer admitted that
ties in Grand Forks, on his own val
uation, was only 3.sS per cent, while
the company was reasonably entitled
to an earning of 5 per cent.
