Real Economy But some still insist on buying the shoe for its actual cash price. Today there are thousands of imitations of high-grade footwear oh the market they have been accepted merely because they were cheap er, and with resulting disappointment. In ARMSTRONG SHOES, you will find some of America's finest and highest grade footwear. The style, quulity and fit of which cannot be excelled. We invite in spection comparison of quality and prices. Plowden Slott, one of Portlands leading attorneys, was suspected of beinir a yeggman niid sjient Sunday in the Asotin, Washington, jail. So far as known IMowden had not even thought of charging a fifty-thousand dollar attorney fee for a piece of legal work, and his record in Oregon is first I class. It was finally established in j the mind of the sheriff that he was not ; so bad and Mr. Stott was released. In explanation it must be stated that IMowden went to Asotin to defend a client who had been his lifo-long friend.

NECESSARY TO HL'Y I SEI'l 1 AND NEC ESS A l YTIIINtJS. The factors and processes of the in dustrial world of America are closely interdependent. Everything that is tKHight nas its bearing on the employ ment of a longe line of workers going back to the ultimate source of the raw materials from which the article i? made. At the far end of that line stands the man or OTnu.n who obtains the raw material from the earth or products of the earth is the source of practically all raw materials. Next stands the workers who ad vance the raw materials through the various processes of development and manufacture. Then the men and wo men who transport the article and dis tribute it nnd finally these who sell it to the ultimate consumer.

By just so much, you injure yourself and every other consumer which means eevry cit izen of the United States. When you buy wisely, intelligently adn reason ably, what you need, you do your share to keep the workers of the na tion employed in healthy, normal, es sential procession of production. Thrift is not parsimony. Thrift is a necessity for the improving of con ditions which now face the nation. To spend money foolishly, unnecessarily or to no good purpose is to disrupt the production system and throw away financial and material resources sore ly needed to reduce the cost of neces sities. On the other hand, it is not necessary to refrain from buying use ful nnd necessary things. The endeav or to get along without the things ac tually needed is not thrif but parsi mony. Thrift consists of wise nnd intelli gent buying, wise" and intelligent use of what is bought, wise and intelli gent saving ami safe investment, such investments as War Saving Stamps, Treasury ' Savings Certificates and Liberty Bonds. Bv following those precepts of thrift you will do your part to restore healthy, normal processes of industry and commerce and solvo the prohle mof the high cost of living.
