The Old Wav

The old-fashioned size stick invented by
Father Time and used for centuries in
other shoe stores to guess the length Of
one foot while you are sitting down.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1925-04-01

When you stand up in this new RESCO
Twin-Foot Fitting Machine, it automatically
and accurately measures the length and width
Of both feet at the same time
The delicate mechanism is scientifically adj
justed to measure the foot expansion and reg
lister the length and width of the shoe required
to properly fit both stocking feet when the
standing weight is placed on the sensitive
springs.
Now, just for the fun of it, if you want to
make shoe salesman stutter, ask him what
the unit of measurement in the size stick means.
Ask him why he doesn't give you the size
you actually measure on the size stick.
Ask him why he only measures the length Of
one foot while you are sitting down, when the
only time you use your feet is when you are
standing up, and then you like to use both feet.
Ask him if he knows that the Army Survey
shows that in measuring both feet, in 6OW of
the cases the left foot is larger than the right,
and 4OR Of the measurements show the right
foot is larger than the left.
Ask him if it wouldn't be more sensible to
measure the length and width of both feet
while you are standing up, before he starts to
jump up ladder to get size he gueSSeS
might fit one foot.
couldn't get a satisfactory answer to any
of these questions, that's why have spent
the last five years in improving the machine
that I designed for the Army, to take the
guess out of fitting your feet.
The RESCO Shoe Fitting System is now IN
stalled in every Regal Shoe Store from Coast
to Coast, and if you would like to know the
correct length and width of both feet under
the weight of the body, you are cordially in
vited to come into any Regal Store at any
time, without any obligation to purchase.

Forty Pay Tax
of More Than
100 Dollars
JOINT STOCK LAND BANK LEADS
REDWOOD FALLS BUSINESS
HOUSES PAYING PERSONAL
PROPERTY TAX.

Onlyf forty of the business houses
Of Redwood Falls pay a tax of one
hundred dollars or more on their per-
sonal property. For a city the size
of Redwood Falls and with the con-
siderable volume of business done
here this is a remarkably small num-
ber. Banks lead in the list of heavy
tax PAYERS, the Southern Minnesota
Joint Stock Land Bank alone paying
a tax this year of $48,290.67. A lit
tie realization of the magnitude of
this tax and what it means to the
community gives the tax student a
real comprehension of the value cf
this institution to this vicinity. 1t
is cause for gratitude from the
thoughtful citizen that this bank is
located in Redwood Falls instead of
a large city in which the size of it's
holdings would have justified its be-
ing placed
The second highest tax is that paid
by the State Bank of Redwood Falls
which this year pays $1706.24, and the
third highest is that of $1407.36 paid
by the Light eand Power Company.
These three are the only businesses
whose tax exceeds thousand dollars.
The others in the list of forty and
the taxes paid are as follows:

Missionary Talks
Sunday to Big
Audiences
PERSIA GIVES ILLUSTRATED
LECTURE IN EVENING"; MISSI-
ONARY SERMON IN MORNING.

Sunday evening DR.. Shuller, Pres
byterian missionary to Central Persia,
gave an illustrated lecture on life
and conditions in Persia. The slides
with which his talk was illustrated
showed many of the cities and GUS
toms in the Orient, together with
some of the barbaric ceremonies of
the Mohammedan people. These Mo-
hammedans constitute the Persian
Missionary's greatest problem and
hindrance, as their faith and devotion
to their religion makes the work Of
reformer almost impossible. How
ever, the Christian Missionaries have
in the past thirty years made great
strides toward completely Christian
izing Persia and other Oriental coun-
tries of similar belief.
DR.. Shuller is a native of Mime
sofa, but for the past twenty live
years he has lived in Persia, working
with the natives and endeavoring to
bring them out of the darkness of
Mohammedanism into the light OF
Christianity.
The auditorium Of Presbyterian
church was well filled, as the Metho-
dist church was closed for the even
ing and therefor the two congrega-
tions were assembled in one building.
Dr. Shuller also spoke to a large as
sembly in the morning, making also
an earnest plea for missionary sup
port. His earnestness, his enthusiasm
for the cause and his national gifts
of personality and ability made his
talk interesting as well as informative.

ship units few months ago
In many of the counties the work
was entered into promptly and in
telligently, with the result that some
highly enlightening and interesting
reports have been formulated by the
tax committees of those counties. AS
result of their study Of all aspects
of local taxation these committees, as
rule, make practical recommends
tions for improvement in methods OF
assessment and regarding the incur
ring of public obligations which make
taxes.
These recommendations are being
summarized at state farm bureau

est to note that some OF the principal
ones are about as follows:
l. That all county officials be plac-
ed on strictly salary basis.
g That all fees be paid into the
general revenue fund.
3. That in every township a sum
mary tax statement for the previous
year be prepared in detail for the
March election of township officers;
and that the same procedure be had
on school district taxes at annual

planned be postponed until at least
one-half of the money needed fol
such purpose is available. (Excep-
tions to be made in emergency cases.
such as replacing public buildings de-
stroyed by fire or tornado.)
5. That governing boards before
finally submitting to the voters OF
their tax district the raising of funds
for new buildings, be required to SUBJ
nit an estimate showing as nearly as
possible the amount of additional tax
es each property holder in the district
would have to pay.
