THE KEW KOLUMN
Interesting Information From
the Department Managers
at the Kew Mercan-
tile Co.

Speaking of shoes, Mr.. Stapp,
head of the Mems and Shoes De-
partment, says: "It might be
stretching it bit to call a mans
shoes his best friend, but they
come pretty close to it. If they
serve him well, and give him
ease and comfort-and real
pleasure-and keep his mind
from worrying about his faith
full feet, they do him a genuine
service.
"The next time you want a
pair of work shoes, try our Blue
Ribbon Service Shoes, price So.
"Our Big Buck work shirts
will give you more comfort and
wear than any other shirt
made. Cut full in body and low
in price. Let US show you what
real value is in this garment.

Miss Price, in charge of the
Dry Goods and Ladies Wear De-
partment, is featuring colors.
'1t is said that in Paris on any
fine day." Miss Price said, "the
boulevards look like a house
afre since they are afame with
red. and the exclusive few have
turned to such colors as ecru
and biege for relief, but they are
out of fashion. Nevertheless,
while rebelling, they are now
setting new color movement
for the future. Each of the
primary colors, red, yellow,
blue and the secondaries, green,
orange and violet, representing
the strongest hues possible,
will be the six leaders. Not in
frequently they will be worn
with white, which in many
cases serve to itensify the fore
going favorites. We are show
ing these bright shades in the
newest materials and will be
pleased to have the ladies call
and inspect them"

vites the public to take notice
Of this department when visit

City to Have Siren
for Giving Fire Alarms

At the regular meeting of the city
council Tuesday night it was decided
to buy a siren for the new city
building, to be used in giving fire
alarms. A code of signals will be
prepared, so that definite information
may be given by the siren as to the
location of the reported fire. A con-
nection will be made with the tele-
phone office, so that an alarm may
be reported to the exchange, and the
alarm operated from the telephone
office.
1T was decided to pay the delin-
quent taxes assessed against proper
ty which has been taken over by the
city on account of delinquency of
Improvement district payments.
&Fireproof safes for the city treas
urer and city clerk are contemplated.
The city's books have become nu
merous and valuable because of the
many improvement districts formed
in recent years, and it has been de-
cided necessary to protect them from
fire.

TRUE AMERICANISM.
ed on It,

There is one foreign ENHANCEMENT from
which Americans would ind it difficult to free
themselves. That they would be reluctant to do
SO is the belief Of those who know best the IN
stinct of the American people This entangle-
ment is the self-assumed duty of the minister
ing prompt and practical relief wherever in the
world, men, women and children innocently are
found to be suffering.
The American Red Cross is institution
that has won signal place in history. To those
who give and to those who receive it has be-
come the symbol of all that is great and gen.
erous in American national character 1t
never judges cause, but only the needs of the
sufferers; where there is great distress, there.
as early as the first menacing warship, is the
van of the Red Cross staff, waiting to do all
that can be done to heal the hurt of the limo
cent.
How richly this ENHANCEMENT" contributes,
by reaction, to American character, none may
estimate. Certainly it is a clear manifestation
of that wide brotherhood on which this nation
rests its claim to existence. It is the antithesis
of destructiveness; it is the practical llustra-
ton of those sentiments which, undoing the ills
of war; at the same time make war itself look
the more horrible and. perchance, the more re-
mote. The intrigues of cynical men have
brought wretchedness to 10000 men, women
and children in the Near East-human beings
who sought no war, who sought, in fact. moth
ing but the privilege of life itself. They starve,
insanity cTeeps over them, humiliation, physi-
cal and spiritual, overwhelms them. For this
new inferno. inevitable sequel to wrongful am
billions of the few distant powers, quick COM
passion is asked to stay the panic, to preserve
life and sanity.
This country. loathing and condemning the
intrigues responsible for the misery, nonetheless
will open its heart and its purse. Without by
pocrisy. humbly and sincerely, it seeks only to
do good among men.
