Wilbur Coon Shoes
V Lour Coon hit on the greatest idea in women’s shoes since shoes
themselves were invented. _ It is wonderfully simple, simply wonder-
ful in assuring perfect fitting shoes for every woman’s foot.
For years women have been buying shoes that fit at two points
only—length and width. That’s why they gape at the sides, look out
of shape, slip at the heel and hurt.
. But Wilbur Coon is making shoes that fit at all five points—
length, width, waist, instep and heel. Pick any Wilbur Coon shoe and
there are many different measures in that model and size for fitting
heel, waist and instep alone. It’s easy to fit a woman with AA heel,
A instep, B width ball—or any other combination. And what a glo-
rious fit she gets!
' No “breaking-in.” They fit snug as a glove. And that fit stays.
Months after other shoes are out of shape your Wilbur Coon shoes are
still smart and new-looking, full of good style.
. And you really pay no more than for other makes of equal ma-
terials, as you will see when you look at them. Only $7 to $11 for most
models—though we use nothing but the veiy best leathers and fabrics.
Wromen who suffered for yea'rs now wear none but Wilbur Coon
shoes in our Slender Foot Arch-Fitters or Stylish Stout Sizes. 6,000
dealers proudly offer them. Don’t be told that other shoes are “just
as good”—if they wete your feet would not be troubling you now. Go
to the store that sells real Wilbur Coon shoes.

* • Great Destruction of Fine
Poultry.
There was a heavy destruction
of fine poultry a few miles north
of town last Friday night. The
scene of the dire disaster visited
upon the chicken tribe was the
poultry ranch of J. Wes Reed,
where chickens are more num-
erous than the leaves which once
strewed the brooks of Valum
brosa. Mr. Reed has chickens
galore—thousands of them—and
the ground is made white by the
big flocks of White Leghorns.
Mr. Reed also has a great many
kinspeople; not quite as many as
he has chickens, but when all
who are related to him by af-
finity or consanguinity get to-
gether there is a regiment of no
small proportions. Friday night
Mr. Reed invited all the kins-
people within a reasonable dis-
tance to visit his poultry ranch,
where he entertained with a
chicken barbecue and all its con-
comitant glories. For the feast
nearly a hundred chickens were
slain and barbecued to a delight-
■fuHbrown. Relatives came from
every point of the compass. Joe
Reed, who assists in guiding the
(Wmiea of the College of XnGUS-
his good looking wife. Young B.
R^ed, farmer, merchant and
stockman of Trenton, was there
with his family. Mrs. Laura
Doak, a sister, and many other
relatives, came from Clarksville.
Miss Mack Dowlen, a niece,
of Houston, answered pres-
ent. Besides those mentioned
there were uncles, aunts, cousins,
r F., from many places, and a few
llfciey Grove friends assisted in
the great raid on poultry. It
was a great feast and all had a
great time, but this item, telling
of the awful thinning of the
poultry ranks will be read with
deep sorrow by the Methodist
preachers of Texas.
Mosquitoes and flies are not
only annoyers; they are disease
carriers. Keep them away from
your home with Fly-Tox. It is
sold at the Clayton Drug Store.
Jones Norwood and family mo-
tored over from Dallas Saturday

Is Earl a Babe Ruth
or a Ty Cobb?
Is Earl P. Price, of Honey
Grove a Babe Ruth or a Ty Cobb
of the insurance world?
will he see the World’s Series
this fall? And will his efforts
prove that his section of the
state shows signs of being the
most prosperous and promising?
These questions will be an-
swered during the month of Au-
gust in a unique test to be con-
ducted by the Southland Life In-
curance Company.
The life insurance business is
considered an unfailing barom-
eter of prosperity and with that
m mind Colonel W. E. Talbot,
former officer of the Rainbow
Division in the world war and
now agency director for the
Southland Life, has arranged a
contest which should give direct
hnswer to these questions.
The contest has to do with the
production of agents in August
and as prizes for greatest pro-
duction, greatest number of ap-
plications, and gain in business
over the previous competing
months, trips to the World Se-
ries are offered. Thp
snouia prove a true barometer of
business conditions since for
that purpose the state has been
divided into four sections and
the total production in each of
these sections should indicate
prospects for prosperity this fall.
The standing of contestants
will be announced from time to
time.

Keep Up Your Stock,
The stock laws of Honey
Grove are clear and plain. It is
a positive violation of the law to
permit stock of any kind to run
at large. If your stock are run-
ning at large you are violating
the law. Complaints come to the
officers that many stock are at
large in several places in town
and are doing much damage to
gardens and yards. The officers
would regret to see any person
have to pay a fine for this, but it
is their duty to enforce the law,
and they must. Please keep up
your stock and avoid trouble.
