Secretary of the Navy Daniels
said in a recent speech: "It is a
good omen when women begin to
understand their duties. In old

of women would destroy their
usefulness as home makers. We
have lived to see the day when
colleges for women have multi
plied until the hope of the nation
is in educated women. We are
coming to the time when women
are taking their proper place in
the affairs of their country."

Plessinger, reports that the new

on the trees; but on others,
where the scale was very bad,
the little parasite did not seem
able to lay enough of its own
eggs in the larva of the scale to
kill all of the latter. He is hop
ing that the unusually severe
winter did not kill all the scale
enemy, and that enough will ap
pear in the" spring to begin work
on the scale again.

This farm I sold last year for
$5,500.00; but the party who pur
chased has met with adversity and
therefore will not be in position
to take possession this spring.
If sold before April first the
price is $5,250.00, and the pur
chser gets the entire wheat crop
of 65 acres. Any one wanting to
buy a farm will find this a bar
gain. Kemember, the price aft
er April 1st is $5,500.00 without
the crop. Buildings alone would
cost more than the price asked.

You may know it, or you may not; but the truth is, that Queen
Quality Shoes are manufactured by the largest Shoe Factory in the
whole United States. The Queen Quality factory makes more
shoes, and sells more shoes than any other. This should be the
best evidence that they sell good goods. If the shoes were not all
that they are represented to be, the Queen Quality people could
not do the business they are doing. We have handled the Queen
Quality shoes for five years, and our trade in them has grown
steadily with that of the factory. Now, if you have a hard foot to
fit, come in and let us try to fit you. If we do not happen to have
in stock your size and width, we can get it for ybu in three or four
days and it will not mean any extra cost to you, either. The prices
run from $2.50 to $5.00. We have shoes to fit your whole family,
and prices to fit your pocket book.
