hensive over the present prospects.

stuffs would be raised. The ther
mometer registered 107 Sunday, the

YOUNG NEWPORT
SOLDIER PRAISES
THE RED CROSS.
Mrs. Jean Diaz of Newport is in M
receipt of a post card from her son,
Sergeant Jaime Diaz, formerly of
Camp Beauregard, who left camp for
a port of embarkation. The boys en
route were most graciously enter
tained at many points by women
workers of the Red Cross, and on the
card to his mother, Sergeant Diaz
says:
“This is another present from the
good Red Cross. Only hope the Red
Cross women of Newport are as nice
to soldiers as these.”,
The Red Cross workers of New
port have accomplished a wonderful
amount of service, but the Independ- •
ent would suggest that a branch of
the organization be formed for the
meeting and entertainment of sol
diers as they pass this way. The In
dependent will gladly contribute fre
quently to such a fund.
QUARTERMASTERS’
TRUCKS STREAMING
TO SEABOARD.
Fleets of Light Motor Veh;cles for
Army Service Leave Detroit
Witli Clock-like Regularity.
Detroit and Michigan, being the
stronghold of the motor car and mo
tor truck industries, have been called
upon to supply great numbers of
both cars and trucks for army ser
vice, both in the United States and
overseas.
Early last January began the
movement of these vehicles from De
troit to points of embarkation. In
deed, the movement of motor vehi
cles over the road has been a boon to
the government by affording a very
large measure of railroad relief.
Many Detroit factories are work
ing on government contracts and
much of the war material they pro
duce is sent forward in the motor
trucks produced in the same ctiy.
When the forward movement began
last winter it was encessarily slow.
Now production has reached a high
point, and both cars and trucks are
moving to the seaboard in a steady
stream, long trains leaving Detroit
every day in charge of army officers
and army drivers.

An Extraordinary Sale 1
! Of All Summer ^hoes
MEN S WOMEN S CHILDREN S
I Our policy of quick stock renewals is what makes a sale of this
kind necessary, every season—about this time every year we^fcnd the ne
cessity in a larger way. Fall shoes are coming in and we must make
room for them, and this means faster selling, and faster selling _ 1
lowering of prices. That’s the course—and the only course we have ever
found open, and we’re not going to look for any other way now.
Our Aim Is To Sell The Shoes I
--——- ___SB
and the selling must be fast, and to make it so we are going to sacrifice
the “best sellers.” We have no slow sellers, but we are going to shove
forward the most desirable first—and the wise buyer will come and come H •>
