Putting Down an Artesian
Well They Bored
800 Feet ,
and then the water came to meet them.
It sometimes is disappointing- to keep on
working without getting resujts, but all the
time we are with most undertakings getting
nearer and nearer to success by each day's
work.
To bore for knowledge with the cer
tainty of getting it, it is commonly said that
we become more thirsty for it as we keep on
boring.
Knowledge and experience are the best
two feet any one can have to equip him for
successful living.
This Store must never lose either of its
two feet, or we cannot keep step together.
It is deep digging for pure water!

Don't Forget the High Shoes in the Summer Sale
Because it is a Summer sal, many people
only think of low shoes in connection with it. As
a matter of fact, there are plenty of high shoes
for both men and women.
There is especially good choosing, for exam
ple, among the men's high shoes at $4.65 and
$5.90. These at $4.65 are from the largest maker
of army shoes in the country and are wonderfully
durable shoes. Two are' on army lasts and the
third is a narrower toe, more suitable for business
wear. All are Blucher lace in tan leather. The
shoes at $5.90 are dull black calfskin and black
kidskin lace in various styles.
Good selection also in men's oxfords at $4.90
and $5.90.
