PRETTYMAN. Committee. Boys' and girls' sandals are now ready. Our sandals are good, will wear and look good. If you buy (some of the trash that is being sold for sandals blame yourself.

We saw these "near leather" sandals sold last summer that wore less than a week. They cost a little less than ours but you would as well put your money in the fire. Our sandals come in both tan and black this are made in the BI1- likin factory, McGINTY BROS. CLOTHING CO. A table of men's dress shirts at 65c has been arranged on the clothing side of our store and we think it will be a pretty busy place this spring for good shirts at this price will be very much in demand and these are good.

Large assortment of patterns in stiff cuff shirts without collar and soft cuff shirts made either with or without soft collar. Good time to lay in your summer supply. Children's wash hats for summer are about the most economical hats you can get. We have lots of different colors and patterns at 50c. There is hardly any style that looks as well on the little folks as these Rah-Rah shapes.

We are selling a lot of boys shoes at sizes 2 to 5i. This is a wearing shoe; medium fine, not a stogy but a neat looking shoe for spring. The present price of this shoe would be $2.75. We have about ten dozen on hand, bought several months ago and we are fering-it to help supply the demand for a shoe at a moderate price. Smaller sizes are $1.85.

Ask for this shoe. The Ad. Club is in receipt of a letter from the Government Department of Commerce, asking the club to take some action in devising a way to help the community raise more food crops. The country is facing a famine, or something bordering on Most of us do not realize how little food is now in this country. The situation is serious and demands every man's attention.

The Ad Club has called a meeting for Thursday night -and has invited every man in this community no matter what his occupation, to be wKand and help in this matter. The first thing to do is to decide what can be done that will nelp. Every man who reads this is urged to be present. Ad Club rooms, 8 p. m.

Thursday. No matter whether we wanted war declared or not, and many of us did not, this country of ours is now in war. It is difficult for us in the middle west to realize it, but we should take it seriously. We should be willing to do our part. There are many things we can do and every man should be to do that.

Soldiers are necessary but that is only a part. The most pressing thing at this time is the food can all help at that. With a big stock of shoes and clothing, much of it at near the old price, this store is in a position to help keep down the high cost of living as far as shoes and clothing are concerned. Where we add an it is usually small and in many instances NO HIGHER THAN THE ARTICLE WOULD COST US IP WE BOUGHT TODAY. We are satisfied with our did not buy for speculation.

One thing we mention is the Fitz overall we sell at $1.25, which would cost us that much today, wholesale. Our men's work shoe at $2.75 would have to sell at $3.50 if we bought now. In a year's time we have not had a complaint on the men's Mule hide work shoe we sell at $1,95. Good heavy sole, good full last, upper wears good.

McGINTY'S NEOSHO FOILING THE BAGGAGE SMASH- ER is a habit with wise owners of trunks and bags bearing our lable.

The trunk, suit-case or bag you need is here.

Come and examine it. Ollie Anderson Harness Shop N. E. Corner gq. Neosho.

Mo. To Celebrate Baby Week. Baby week was inaugurated by Chicago in 1914, and a second baby week was celebrated by New York City in June of the same year, and last year there were two thousand one hundred towns and cities in the United States which, by the use of lectures, exhibits, baby health and contests, school programs, parades, plays, the distribution of pamphlets, leaflets and other printed matter on the care of the baby, newspaper publicity and jedients were used to con centrate attention for several days on baby's needs, with an emphasis calculated to inspire a popular rework for the reduction of infant mortality. Ism't it time? When there are three thousand babies dying every year in the United States, and some of that number die in Neosho? Can't we do our share in saving the lives of these little ones? Baby Week is the first week in May, and the Mothers' Club of Neosho is preparing to celebrate. THE COMMITTEE.
