Shoes for The Working Man
W Kile you hear much talk about the high price of shoes, you will
find by investigating our line of WORK SHOES that it is most
talk. These shoes are honor built of the best leathers known to man-
kind—with best white oak soles—in good styles, even fit for Sunday
use. We are actually priceing them from a dollar to a dollar and a half
below tho present market value.

ELEVATOR TAKES
J. E. Clift, of the local elevator,
has on hands about 40 bushels of
extra good kafir for planting now.
He went t > Oklahoma City Wednes-
day to arrange with a big wholesale
seed house to supply him, if possi-
ble with seeds of various kinds for
planting, among which will be the
Soy bean, covvpea, feterita, milo-
maize, etc. He will also endeavor
to get a 3upply of genuine 90-day
corn. Farmers that are needing
any kind of seed for planting shou.Ul
see him at once.
School Site Reported Bought.
We understand that *the school
board has bought of the town board
the tract of ground known as tho
town park for the location of the
new high school building. Consider-
ation reported to be S400 for the
tract.

BUYS OUT CITY CAFE.
F. Nagie. of Evansville, Ir.d., has
bought out the City Cafe, conducted
by Bert Morgan, and taken charge.
The deal v.-as made Thursday of last
week. Mr. Nagle is an experienced
restaursnteur, and we welcome him
anil his estimable family to Prague.
We do not go seeking trouble,
On our shoulder is no "chip"—
Into scrap foreign nations
We are not inclined to dip.
We're a patient, peaceful people.
Loving justice, truth and right,
And we strive to mind our business.
And to keep out of a fight.
There is a limit tho to patience,
And to diplomatic "'guff,"
Now the former is exhausted—
Of the latter, we've enough.
We have stood all we intend to
From the Kaiser and his crew—
j If they want to start a 'rough house'
We can start a "rough house" tool
Yes, we have been mild and gentle,
And the Kaiser 'rubbed it in;"
Now we're ready for what happens.
For v. hat ever may begin.
For the Flag we stand united,
Ready to defend the same:
Uncle Sam, if it means fighting,
Is a "corker" at the game.
Aid here's another handed us by
one of our American citizens:
♦ * *
Good-bye, little girl, good-bye,
Don't cry, little girl, don't cry!
I'm going now on a 3ub-marine,
To tight for my country and live
on beans;
Good-bye, little girl, good-bye!
Dkn't cry little girl, don't cry!
As it beats married life sublime,
For we don't light all the time,
No "Yellow-Band" on me they'll
tie—
Good-bye, little girl, good-bye.
♦ It
Wonder if it would not be n good
idea to convert our local canning
factory into an evaporator, in order
to take care of the promised and
< xpected fruit crop this year?
Oklahoma must raise her own
pprodncts this year, as well as tin-
entire South, or else go hungry.
Cotton won't make bread nor meat
for your table. Less cotton and
more food products is what the
S;>uth must grow this year.
"The world's supply of ' foods
are lowe.it known."—can the cotton
and plant the bean!
Woodrow Wilson, your president,
and mine, says, "plant food crops.
You will need them." He is giving
prood, wholesome advice—stand 'by
the president!
WHERE IS IT
In its issue of April 13th, the
Shawnee News-Herald says, under
the head of Pott-County Oil Notes,
"the Gypsy company is drilling at
' ttO feet north of Keokuk Falls."
We have carefully examined that
territory in the hopes of discovering
the whereabouts of the rig, but
have failed to locate it. Will the
News-Herald kindly advise as to its
location by section, range and also
township.
WEEKS-MADDEN PLAN WISE.
The New York Times (dem.) ha-
verv appropriately called attention
to some facts of war-time history,
(t says: "There are plenty still liv-
ing; who recall the scandals of the
Civil War. and th ill-gotten profit-
of those who came to be known a
the "shoddy aristocracy." Thing-
were little better when the Spanish-
American war came along, and alt
kinds of junk, from embalmed beef,
to worthies, ships were palmed ot,
on the country at exorbitant prices."
The Times thinks there is no danger
of such experiences during the pres-
ent war, but disclosures of fraud
in Canada a few months ago are
likely to leave most people with the
idea that relaxation of vigilance
upon the theory that twentieth cen-
tury civilization has made all men
honest , is unwise.

of weakness within. Internal weak-

courage.
