FREELAND TRIBUNE. VOL. XV. NO. 95. Stop a Moment I There is only one thing in a Rub ber Boot or Shoe that has am wearing qualities, and that is Rub ber. There is absolutely no wear in any of the other ingredients. There is only one way to reduce the cost, and that is to take out rubber and put in its place other things in which there is no wearing quality whatever. Every time the quality of a Rub ber Boot or Shoe is reduced to per cent, its durability is reduced over 20 per cent. It is the falsest kind of false economy to buy anything but the purest Rubbers. Buckskin Ritb ber Boots and Shoes cost but little more than other kinds, and are sold by JOHN SHIGO, 144 South Centre Street. ORION BTKOH, ATTORNEY AND COUNSELOR AT LAW and NOTARY PUBLIC.

Crescents Easily Defeat Parsons Club Atlantic City This Evening. I The Crescents won easily from Par sons Wednesday evening by a score of 22 to 8. The gaiue was Interesting from the start and was clean throughout. The locals played a snappy game at all times. In the first half the Crescents scored four baskets, which gave them 8 points'. The visitors scored but one basket and a mark on a free throw, which gave them 3 points for the half. In the second half the locals set a fast pace and succeeded in running up seven baskets or 14 points. The visitors were only successful In scoring two baskets and a free throw, 5 points In all for the half. The attendance was large and the proceeds were donated to Mrs. John McGeady. The game this evening will probably be the greatest of the season. During the past few months the Crescents have met many strong teams, but none had the reputation of the Atlantic City club, which will be their opponents tonight. The visitors are considered the crack team of New Jersey and has so far de feated the strongest clubs of state and eastern Pennsylvania. Notwithstanding this record, the local boys are prepared to give them a hard battle, and no honor able opportunity to win will be permitted to pass. Coach Kelly, of Minersvllle, will have charge of the Crescents tonight and will probably play in one of the halves. A record-breaking attendance is looked for at this evening's game. Y. M. c. A.

TR [-WEEKLY McMENAMIN'S South Centre Street DO YOU STOP TO SIFT The wheat from the chaff, the good from the bad, the truth from the false? You read some mighty nice stories in the papers nowadays of big reductions, but when you examine facts back of the words you are more than likely to find promises which the makers cannot fulfill and would not if they could. For our part we would rather shut up our store and be idle than give anybody the right to say of it: '•That store is not as careful of its reputation as it used to be." Re putation is the bread and butter of this business, and is worth more to us than the few paltry dollars an end of the season's sale brings, if conducted under false pretenses. The middle of the winter finds us with quite an assortment of sea sonable goods, including Rubber Boots and Shoes, Hats and Caps, Gloves, Extra Heavy Underwear, Heavy Hosiery, and other articles designed for wear during this weather. These we have reduced in price— not to less than half their cost—-but to a figure which will pleasingly surprise the buyer. In Winter Neckwear, Collars, Cuffs, Men's Dress and Working Shoes, Women's and Children's Shoes, Gents' Furnishings, etc., our lines are very complete and the stock is of that same high-grade which you always found in our store. We are pleased to quote you prices and have you examine the goods at any time. Do not forget that a child can buy here as cheap ly and to as good advantage as the adult.
