THEY'RE COMM BACK FOR
MORE

About year ago Sehwing 4 Car
stems put in line of famous Ed
mond's Foot Filter Shoes for men. At
$6.75. Being regular $40 to SIP qua
lily, it is no wonder that 500 pan
have been disposed of representing
nearly $4,000 in savings to patrons
Of that store.
Charles now wishes to inform his
friends that they have received a
lire of Oxfords of the same quality
Tor summer wear.
The men who bought these shoes
last year are coming in now for
more, proving that they are salts
fed with their bargains. What bet
ter guarantee of quality can you
want than that?
Edmonds Foot Filters are all solid
leather. made on classy lasts, and
sold under guarantee to satisfy. Call

countries; and three years later
through his influence an appropriation
Of $1,000 was made for the purpose OF
procuring and distributing seeds OF
new plants, carrying agricultural In
vestigations and collecting agricultural
statistics. This was the historic be
ginning Of the much-talked-about free
seed distribution.
BY an act Of congress In May, 1862
since generally called the organic act
the activities Of the government affect
ing agriculture were placed under
separate and distinct organization
known as the Department OF Agricui-
ture, In charge Of commissioner OF
agriculture. 1t did not rank, how
ever. with the other executive depart
ments and the commissioner was not
entitled to seat In the Presidents
cabinet. Isaac Newton. chief Of the
agricultural section In the patent office,
was appointed the first commissioner
of agriculture. Other officers provided
by the organic act included a stats
tician, a chemist. an entomologist and
superintendent OF the propagatng
garden and experimental farm.
The chrysalis was now ready to be
broken. In 1880 the Department Of Ag-
riculture was elevated to the rank Of
the other executive departments and
its commissioner was made secretary
OF agriculture with seat In the Presi-
dents cabinet. This was In Grover
Cleveland's administration. In honor
Of It's new rank few more functions
were taken on.
But that's enough detail. 1t kept on
growing. Beginning with an appro-
priation Of $1,000 and two or three
clerks, the department had, In 1910.
employees to the number Of 12,4SO, and
M appropriation of $12,995,O38. Five
years later the appropriation had
grown to $19865.S3 and the EN-
ployees to 1928. The employees in
May. 1920, numbered 1S.O9S and the
appropriation given by congress for
the fiscal year 1921 was S31 ,475,36S.
The department has increased Its
cost OF living in 50 years from mere
ST .OOO-that Is, 1898 month--to
more than $31 100000 a years. G22,
g47.3S every month. That shows as
clearly and as sharply as 1t can be
shown how the high cost Of govern
ment living affects your own cost Of
living.
We, you and ], paid out Of our saw
ings and earnings every red cent OF
that increase from $1,000 year to more
than 31.OOO,OOO. 1t may have been
well spent. We probably got run
for our money; but nobody knows, ex-
cept in a general way. We have q
right to know. 1t Is simply fatheaded-
ness on our part not to find out.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
What causes "tarred" road to de-
velop that peculiar scrubbing-board
surface is question that has been
worrying the highway engineers quite
as much as the long suffering public.
AS often as not the symptoms appear
in macadam road that has been
treated with asphalt. But the trouble
is largely confined to roads built with
tar or asphalt Concrete and brick
roads never develop such surface,
and ordinary dirt roads seldom do.
The bureau Of public roads of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture Is building at the Arlington
(Va.) experimental farm an expert
mental roadway Is feet wide In an at
tempt to discover the cause of the
trouble. The road is laid out In the
form Of circle with a 90-foOt radius,
and its circumference, 565 feet In
length, Is TO be divided into sections,
each Of which will be surfaced with
q different kind of asphalt or tarred
SuTIdCe.
The experimental sections will be
built exactly like actual road surfaces
and when completed they will carry
traffic" as much like actual traffic
as It Is possible to devise. The "traf-
fic" will be supplied by driverless
mOtortruck which will be held to the
circular path by means Of long arm
extending from the center. The course
Of the truck will be altered from time
to time so that the entire width of the
roadway will be travelled.
1t has not been possible to determine
the cause by observation of actual
roads because there are too many un-
known quantities. The defect may be
due to distortion of the earth under
the road surface or to defects In the
surface itself. 1t is probably caused

SCOUT TRACKS OWN BICYCLE

Bruce E. Cox, thirteen-year-old
boy scout of Detroit, woke up one
morning to find his beloved bicycle
missing. A scout knows how to track
and trail" and having first notified
the police Of the theft, young Cox set
out to recover the property. He found
the track Of the wheel in the moist
earth near the garage. Found also
man's-sized footprints. The footprints
disappeared in the alley. Deduction
No. 2: At this point the man-slzeu
person began to ride the wheel. For
two blocks the amateur Sherlock
Holmes traced the bicycle tracks. At
the door of the private garage the
tracks stopped. Inquiry Of the owner:
Anyone put a bicycle in your ga
rage?" "Why, yes" was the answer.
Yesterday q D. P. w. workman asked
if he could store some tools here and
today he left bicycle" 1t was easy
enough to prove the real owners claim
to the wheel. They are still looking
for the thief, but Bruce doesn't care
whether they find him or not. He has
the bicycle, thanks to his own Keen
mother wit and scout training.

VETERANS SUFFER FROM COLD
Measure Offered to Provide Shiverin9
Men With Clothing Now Being
Eaten by Moths.

War veterans are suffering from
the cold IN the very shadow Of ware
houses where vast quantities Of sur
plus army clothing lie idle. This
anomalous condition will be righted II
a bill favorably reported In the house
by the military affairs committee is
passed.
The bill authorizes the secretary OF
war to cooperate with the surgeon
general in providing all disabled vet
Grams under care in government hos
pitals and institutions with adequate
clothing and equipment. Thousands
of dollars worth Of this material Is
now stored away, inviting moths,
while thousands of former soldiers are
shlvering from exposure.
House leaders have demanded q
special rule for consideration Of the
measure. Statements were made on
the floor that If congress could rush
through an appropriation of S2O,OOO,-
Zoo for starving Russians, 1t ought to
be able to put through a simple bill to
help cold service men.

A FIRST.cLAss TROOP

Troop l of Westboro, Mass, has
none but first-class scouts in Its men,
bership Of 25 boys. Five Of these are
also Star scouts. The troop had the
honor of being awarded the silver cup
conferred by the Algonquin council
for all-round efficiency in scouting and
has been granted permission by the
governors of the local country club
to establish within the limits of the
club property bird life sanctuary and
haven for wild life generally. The
territory included covers about 30
acres. The sanctuary project has the
sanction of the state department OF
conservation under the direction Of
which it will be carried out. This troop
is also one of the successful pagers"
having recently been successful In lind
ing a young man, who, temporarily
insane, had wandered away from home
and baffled the efforts of the police to
locate him.
