A SURE WAY To CUT
YOUR SHOE EXPENSE

1T has been quite an expense to
keep my boy in shoes because he is
very hard on them. But since wearing
shoes with Neolin Soles his shoe bill
has been reduced 663}%," says J
Allison Allen Of Amity. Arkansas.
On the Importance Of Neolin Soles
as a money saving factor there are
thousands Of parents who agree with
MIR. Allen. Because Ne0lin Soles give
er'rd wear where most shoes wear out
quickest, they cut your shoe bills down
Ask for Neolin-soled shoes when
next new shoes are needed. either fof
yourself or for your children. You can
get them at any good shoe store. And
take your worn shoes TO the repair shop
and have them re-bottomed with
Neolin Soles.
Remember-these coles are created
by Science to be waterproof and CON.
Portable, aswell as long wearing. They
are made by The Goodyear Tire 4

TECHNICALITY MAY
DELAY STARTING OF
STATE ROAD BUILDING
Difference of Opinion a. to
Time of Approval
Arises in State

Difference Of opinion may hold up
the road work scheduled for Beltrami
county this fall, as a decision based
upon proposed work in Rock county
has thrown new light on similar
situation in Beltrami, 1t develQpeQ,
in the board Of county commissioners,
in session at the court house. = :
The Babcock plan holds tint the
work can be started and completes
and the highway commissioners en-
dorse the work for payment after
ward. The Rock county decision was
to the effect that the approval Of the
highway commissioners should be
made before any action whatever was
taken in the matter
1t is the opinion of the board that
this fact makes it necessary to OBJ
tain first the endorsement of the COM
missioners, which will fully require
two months and thus permit the
work to commence in the winter, an
impossible time, and it is also the
opinion that the start will be delayed
until next spring.
