What of the human mind, if left with nothing in it, such as are said to exist in some countries across the sea, where entire villages are reported to be without teachers, schools and churches or schoolmasters of any kind? America will do well to watch its immigration laws and not permit the incoming of young or old whose minds have been left empty by neglect or design. We must not impair our citizenship.

To most men a straw hat is just a straw hat and that's all there is to it. But men who have worn Wanamaker straw hats know that some straw hats are so much better style, more com fortable and more enduring than others that there is no comparison. Our rough btraw hats are made especially for us in England and bear the Lincoln-Bennett and Redleaf labels. Because of the climate, the British hats are built to resist moisture and do not discolor so quickly as others, as there is no sticky surface to attract dust. Wanamaker straw hats are also made over the "egg oval," which conforms to the shape of the head, and a cushioned inner band adds still more to their comfort. Prices .$3 to $(5.
