Myrtle Creek Mil: While a crew of men were engaged in working near the Werta place, building ap proaches to the bridge on Jnmp-off-Joe. near Merlin recently, they un earthed tortious of six skeletons. One of the skulls had a ragged hole, as if pierced by a bullet. The teeth in two of the skulls were well pre served. Lying with one of the larg er skulls was that of a childs. A large quantity of small shells and beads ere unearthed with them. Aside from bark wrappings these shells and beads were all that was found with the bones. It is the opinion that the find was at one time an lidlan burial ground. Regal Shoes at Cost Plus 5 per Cent. An Earthquake for the Trade, but a Benefit to the Public Regal Prices Are Now $335 to $585 NOBODY OUTSIDE the shoe trade can realize what a jolt that trade re ceived when the Regal Shoe Company announced its new pricing-policy. "HENCEFORTH," said the Regal Shoe Co., "all the shoes we make will be priced at COST OF MANUFACTURE AND SELLING, PLUS FIVE PER CENT. COMMISSION, no matter whether that price figures out in odd or even money, and without regard to the 50c jumps between prices, heretofore arbitrarily fixed in the shoe business." IT WAS NOT the five per cent, that gave the jolt. The Regal Shoe Co. has always done business on a five Der cent, profit and every manu facturer knew it. It was the abandonment of the "even price" that caused the stir. THAT "EVEN-PRICE" policy has been the darling superstition of the shoe trade for twenty years or more. Standard shoes had been sold for so long at $3.50, $4.00, $4.50, $5.00 and so on, that dealers thought no other prices were possible. "BARGAIN" SHOES nameless products shoveled out by shoe "depart ments" might be sold at odd prices. But standard makes oh, never I IT WAS ARGUED seriously by expert shoe-salesmen that men and women who wanted shoes of name and character would rather pay even prices. That is, they argued that a man would rather pay $5.00 than $4.85, whether or not he got anything worth having for that extra 15c. AND SO, WHEN a designer produced a new shoe that could be sold for profit and all at $4.85, the manufacturers were up against an embar rassing situation. THEY COULD DO any one of three things and some one of these three things they all did: THEY COULD LET that $4.85 shoe stand as it was and ask $5.00 for it, getting an extra 15c profit, if Regal competition would allow it, or THEY COULD ADD 15c worth of unnecessary expense to the shoe, . bringing its price up to $5.00 OR, THEY COULD SKIN 35c worth OUT of the shoe, bringing its price down to the next even figure $4.50, but spoiling the shoe's quality balance. BUT AS FOR DOING the obvious and proper thing selling that $4.85 shoe for $4.85 why that was not to be thought of I SEEMS RIDICULOUS, doesn't it ? But all superstitions seem ridiculous cfter you have exploded them. And the Regal has exploded this one. HEREAFTER, .Regal Shoes will be built just as the Regal style-builders plan them. They know their business, and they know their public. . IF THEY SAY "This shoe is right as it stands the best shoe that can be devised and built for its particular want and purpose" why that shoe is going to the public just as it is, unaltered by a foolish custom. TH3 DESIGNERS will not be required to add anything unnecessary to it, nor to take anything out of it, to bring its. price up to or down to any ret figure. TII-3 MANUFACTURING COST of that shoe will be figured carefully; i;v ; per cent, will be added and a further allowance covering the actual cc-t of selling that shoe to the customer, and the resulting sum will be tl.; price of that particular shoe, whether it is $3.35, or $3.50, or $4.85, or whatever it is. zzr.: fpice will ee stamped on the shoe at the " .CTORY and certified public accountants will verify the prices and veiify the fact that only five per cent, commission is added. YOU GAIN MORE than the dimes you save by the odd prices. You gain also by better balanced quality and by the fact that you pay only for what you want. R3GAL Style-Builders now have a free hand. They simply get out the BEST SHOE THAT THEY CAN DEVISE for a certain purpose at about a certain price. You pay for exactly what you get, plus the fair 5 per cent. You are taxed nothing for useless additions. Regal Shoes Give You What You Want At The Lowest Price That Can Buy It 9 x REGAL SrfOES FOR MEN HARTH'S TOGGERY, Inc iStfn of A SULTAN'S SEVEN BEOS.

No one knew in which of the seveu rooms tbe sultan was going to steep, for he chauged his resting place every nlgbt for feur of bidden da users.
