< >h, why should the spirit of mortal be 
proud? 
The while he is soaring above the great 
crowd. 
The monoplane busts, or its motor’s de¬ 
layed, 
And they hunt for the man with a pick 
and a spade.

Passenger: “Why are we so late?” 
Guard: “Well, sir. the train in front 
was behind, and this train was behind 
before besides.”—Punch. 
"Tickets !” called the conductor. One 
of the passengers began fumbling ner¬ 
vously through his pockets, and finally 
turned them all inside out. “Where is 
your ticket?” asked the conductor, when 
he came to the nervous man. “You can’t 
have lost it?” Can’t have lost it? 
Thunder!” replied the nervous man, sar¬ 
castically, "I lost a bass drum once.”—

When the boat at the seaside resort 
was upset and its inmates were thrown 
into the water a rescue crew started from 
the pier to save those who were battling 
with the waves. A frantic man stood 
upon the wharf and shouted “Save the 
red-headed man ; oh, save the red-headed 
man!” "Is he your brother or your 
father?” inquired a sympathetic by¬ 
stander. “Oh, no,” was the reply, "but 
he owes me $SG.”—The Housewife. 
» A woman teacher was explaining gen¬ 
der to a grade of young children as visi¬ 
tors entered. They begged her to con¬ 
tinue, as they would be delighted to hear 
the children’s replies. “Children,” she 
asked, “what is ‘girl,’ ‘woman,’ ‘man’?” 
One little hand was so "eager, she ap¬ 
pealed to the owner proudly. "Well, 
Artie?” Artie rose to the occasion.

Spend the next year in 
a pair of BASS Shoes 
They simply object to wearing out. The original sole of firm, long-lived 
hemlock leather will outwear two ordinary soles. And after that Bass 
Shoes stand as many as 4 to 6 half-soles. We even know of cases where 
the same pair have been half-soled 14 times ! 
Bass Shoes are nailed—not sewed. No sewed shoes can possibly be 
repaired as often as Bass Shoes and give as good service. 
Bass Shoes are also water-shed shoes. They will turn water like no 
other leather shoe made. This double service of Bass Shoes is due to our 
own unique waterproofing process. 
Think what this means on wet days and in damp places. 
Honest, built-in value 
Bass Shoes quickly adapt themselves to a perfect fit of every part of 
your foot, because of the choice, flexible, vegetable-tanned leather we 
use. The skins are from matured veal and have the advantage of being 
smooth, tough and fine-grained, and are at the same time soft and com¬ 
fortable. Skins of young veal are not used by us. because their weak 
spots shorten the shoe's life by half or more. Steer hides cost less, but 
they are coarse-grained and can’t resist water like the hides we use. 
BASS Shoes 
For Hard Service 
They make your feet feel youngagain—they 
never c rowd your toes or pinch your heels. 
Shoe yourself and your boys with 
Bass Shoes, and if they don't cut 
down your shoe bill consider¬ 
ably and take wet feet worries 
off your mind, we’ll take to 
the woods. 
Buy Bass Shoes of the best dealer in 
your town or the nearest town. 
They cost $-1.00—a little more, per¬ 
haps. than ordinary shoes, but their 
extraordinary features make them 
worth a whole lot more. If your 
dealer does not sell Bass Shoes, 
don'tbuy any others—write us and 
we’ll tell you how to get them

Puts a Stop to the “Hum” 
of the Humbug Roofings 
A roofing not much more expensive 
than tar paper is not much better—a 
cheap price means a cheap roof, no 
matter what the “eager” salesman tells 
you", he is looking out for his pocket, 
not yours. 
"Raintight” Rubber Roofing is com¬ 
posed of Trinidad Lake Asphalt—the 
Standard asphalt of the world—no 
other “ Secret combinations” that sound 
“big” but mean little. Nature made it, 
and took her time about it. That’s 
why it lasts. 
Perfect Roofing is the same thing, 
but has a surface that’s as good as a 
fire insurance policy. Mica flakes are 
so deeply embedded into the asphalt 
while hot that it becomes part of the 
roof—and mica is fire-resisting (You 
can’t burn it) and besides, it is a non¬ 
conductor of heat or lightning. Any 
roofing would be burned if attacked by 
a fire from underneath, but Perfect 
Roofing stands “on guard” against the 
fire from without. 
Perfect Rosin sized Sheathing and 
Perfect Tarred Felt are others of our 
specialties, and are all the name im¬ 
plies. 
If your dealer does not handle our roofing, write 
us for samples and booklets—it will pay you.
