15 Shoe
Day
It's not that we are simply/ selling shoes at un
usual reductions that has caused such a lively in
terest —it's because the shoes are "Steckley" Shoes,
distinctive in style and quality. That's why the
public is so eagerly taking advantage of this big
sale.
Of course the reduction on every pair is very
generous, but another reason the people like to buy
here is because the assortments are so large. There
<ire so many shoes you will get a perfect fit in any
style or grade you may desire.
Only the regular Stecl&ey Stock is offered dur
ing this sale. Our unusually large assortments have
been greatly enlarged by delayed shipments—which
should have been here early in the season but which
were held back on account of unsettled manufactur
ing conditions. These shoes were purchased away
below the manufacturer's price today. We are giv
ing you the benefit of the low prices we paid—plus
our regular 15-day reductions.
Many of our customers are buying Shoes dur

PEARLS GO UP
Xcw York. —A compilation by the
National City Bank of New York
shows that previous stones of a val
ue of $31,984,000 were imported in
to the United States in 1918 against
$47,721,000 in 1917 and $33,375,000
in 1914. The importations of pearls
were valued at $1,600,000 in 191S
against $8,932,000 in 1917 and $4,-
264,000 in 1914. Importations of
diamonds amounted to $28,000,000
against $34,521,000 in 1917, and
$25,315,000 in 1914. These figures
show the falling oft in the importa
tions of diamonds and pearls, still
the most fashionable of Jewels, caus
ed by the war and throw some light
on the one-third advance scored by
the price of diamonds during the
war and the almost 100 per cent ad
vance in the price of pearls.

Light Coal Tax
Is Thought of Now
It is understood at.the Capitol tliat
Governor Sproul does not object to
a light tax on anthracite coal, but
whether any delegation on that sub
ject will be presented or not is un
known.
The Governor knows the situa
tion in the Scranton region where
the oaveins have made trouble and
it is said that he thinks that some
,of the tax should go to places where
the coal is mined. Where surface is
affected this money should be used
for relief,- but where there is min
ing as in tlieLykens Valley it could
be employed for local purposes.
Governor Sproul has accepted an
invitation to go to Johnstown next
week to attend the reception to be
given in honor of the home-coming
of General Charles T. Menoher,
commander of the Rainbow division,
who is a Pennsylvanian. Next Sett-*
urday he will visit Syria Temple,
Shriners, in Pittsburgh.
Attorney General SchalTer to-day
approved the deed for the gift to
the state of a right of way of the
Lackawanna railroad in Lackawanna
county which it is proposed to in
corporate into the State Highway
system. Legislators from that sec
tion were assured by Governor
Sproul that he would give attention
to the improvement of the road this
year.
