"The World Owes Me a
Living, Mind, I Tell Ye
and I'm goin' to get it, too," ,he says, that big,
burly, able-bodied man, sprawled out on his back
on the side of the hill this Summer morning,
with a thick ' hickory stick beside him,
overlooking on the other side of the road a herd
of cows browsing n the valley, and muttering
that he likes milk and would help himself if
they would come his way.
Overhead to the right of him a flock of
pigeons were flying low down, to whom with his
eyes he said, "If you were roasted I could eat
all of ye!"
Even big boys are growing up in our cities
thinking that the taking of other people's
property without paying or working for it is all
in the game of life.
There are several species of anarchism.
The world owes and pays whatever is due to
us when honestly earned. A store or a man with
a screw loose never amounts to much.

Undoubtedly. the kind of movement that meets public approval is something big" aid
clear cut and definite.
For months we have been making preparations to hold a great Sale of Shoes not a clear
away of Summer shoes, but a sale of new shoes for Fall and Winter wear.
We have had the advantage of extraor dinary purchases from some of the very best
makers in America.
We took over some manufacturers' lots that otherwise might have become embarrassing
to their makers and got them at low prices.
We have accumulated a great reserve stock of the finest shoes in America, bought at
such advantage that we can sell them at average half the prices that people are now paying
elsewhere for equal grades.
We held this sale over until after Labor Day, until after vacation time, so that every
body would be back home with a chance to take equal advantage of it.
And this morning we started it, and it is the greatest thing in town.

First the Ultona.
The Ultona is the reproducing device of the
Brunswick a superior reproducing device so
arranged that it plays all records, both "lateral-cut"
and "hill-and-dalo" cut.
It is not a makeshift attachment, but a built-in
