Our shoes stand on their own bottoms, They rest on their well earned reputation. People know them. People like them. Peo- ple buy them. People wear them. Ww carry no shoes that must ¢ be bolstered up with lever names and elaborate ad- vertising. We advertise our shoes to let the public know what we are doing, but our advertising is merely an inci- dent. With some it is the whole thing. Without adver- tising some business would die. This is not that sort of a busi- ness. or many years we have been E shoeing the people of this bailiwick with unvarying satis- faction. Upon the record we have made the business stands. We maintain that record by maintaining the same high quality in our shoes and by keeping the prices down to the lowest safe point. Mingle’s Shoe Store. Bellefonte, Pa.

W. Painter, who lives about three miles south of town, says the Philipsburg Ledger, turned up missing. Mr. Painter concluded it had been killed by dogs, but a few days ago, while looking under the barn floor for some purpose, he saw the missing animal in a salt barrel. The barrel was lying on its side and the sheep had gone in to lick up the salt which adhered to the side of the barrel. Find- ing that it could not go on through, it when discovered, without food or drink. And it would have stayed there until it perished. All it had to do was to back out of the barrel, but it hadn’t sense enough to do it.
