Council Should
Remove Absurd
Limit on Wood
(EDITORIAL)


THE council should at once pass the ordi-
nance demanded by certain fuel deal
ers, setting MINIMUM standard for load
of wood.
The existing ordinance provides that fuel
dealers may not sell MORE than 81 cubic
feet a. a load of wood. In other words, il
makes il impossible for the consumers to get
generous measure or more than their mon
ey's worth-and highly probable that they
will get less than they paid for.
This 10 wrong on its face.
Laws should be made to protect the pub
lie, and the existing law obviously fails to do
this. Il merely protects some designing fuel
concerns.
No harm can be done by providing that
dealer may give = customer AS MUCH
wood a. he desires, but not less than a GER
tain stipulated amount.

 Shoes Your Feet Aren [ Forced to Fit

There are shoes that require your feet to fit them; and there are shoes fashioned to fit your feet. To secure your correct fit, you don't have to buy model that seems homely to you, but you do need a shoe with a natural inner sole and a snug heel seat, also flexible arch, for reason that your own foot has flexible arch. The Cantilever Shoe is good-looking shoe in which you can obtain fit better than you have had before. It possesses q flexible arch.
 When laced up trimly under your arch, a Cantilever gives just the sup port there you need. No steel shank piece concealed between soles re- stricts the natural flexibility of your foot nor compels your arch to fit the shank of the shoe. The flexible Cantilever arch conforms to the undercurves of the individual foot. It is we'll to remember that the height of the foot arch. varies greatly in different feet of the same size, and only in shoe with flex- ible shank can you be sure of proper fit and support.

 Hefalded by the near approach of June, loveliest of months, thoughts of weddings and commencements are predominant in the minds of many reople.
 Second in importance only to her wedding day with every girl Is that of her graduation. Though many ac- companying customs have changed. commencements are just as wonder ful and thrilling to the graduates to- day as to those of former times. In days not far distant in the past school girls, who had previously worn their hair hanging down their backs in great single "plaits." tied with wide ribbon, were very proud, upon graduation day. when, for the first time, they "did 1t up"
 On commencement day they ap- peared upon the stage of the opera house. where the exercises were held. in dresses touching the floor, and per haps made with trains. Each car ried in her arms her essay. tied with long bows of white ribbon. or some times with ribbons in the school colors.
 Every girl and every boy was given time to read a nice long essay.
 The president of the college or superintendent of the school then made long speech. discoursing on the merits of the graduates and ig- noring all shortcomings.
 Now arrangements are quite dif- ferent.
