The 'Patriot" stands out conspicuously the ideal
shoe for the busy man who demands style, perfect
fitting qualities, and good service in his shoes.
The tremendous output of their 23 big "Star
Brand" factories—over 15,000,000 patrt of sjiioes per
vear —enables them to sell shoes for less money
than it "costs the average manufacturer to make
What they save in manufacturing is put into c,\tra quality.
The "Patriot" is made in their finest factory by a big force of ex-
perts picked from an army of 10,000 skilled shoemakers. The special
hand work on each pair places it in the "custom made" class.
The style shown — No. 1364 — is made of the finest tan
calf skin over the new "Aero" last. It is the same
style and grade sold in the lar«e cities at $5.00 and
$6.00. The "Patriot" sells at $4.50 to.$5.00,
according to style and leather.
The "Patriot" and other "Star Brand"
Shoes—over 750 styles—are sold by
2Q.000 good merchants. Don't just
drop into ANY atore, bill covin tn us. We sirs
special agents for "Star ISr.md" shoos.
Always ink for ami iri'lut iipon having
the "Patriot" with th« mime on the sol*
and the "Star" on the hool; ami you will
be sure to get a piire-loathcr «hn>,. No
eubstitutes for leather are over mud.

A COMPLETE CELEBRATION.
GREAT, GRAND, GLO
RIOUS.
M%y L'Oth ami 21st wiU lores: be
iviiwsmj.bered in Mexia. It was
t he betfinaniing of the resurrection
in the life of the bawl located
town mi Texaa, ttie stun (toward
a Oity, tihe birth of progress, and
tOOOH dare say it could have been
better or higgler, just as mueih as
we wanted and more than wan
expected, kilcIi ecwnnients could
be heard on all aides.
Tuesday was a miserable day
for woathcr, old Jupiter Pluvius
turned on hiis flood gates, and
for a Long time the elements
seemed to be against the turnout,
but as the clay rolled on Bright
Sol appeared in the Fast. He
peeped and then burst forth in a
glorious smnilight.
The Hubbard City Hand engag-
ed by the City Of Mexia for tin
festivities, came marching down
the tsiLtli'walks, dispersing sweet
strains o<f music, and the spirits
of the population arose, and
beaming faces could be seen by
the hundreds, listening to the ah*
t > f melodies as they floated
I through the wave currents of this
Itoalthy airnl refined City.
The afternoon Was hazy, yd
visitors caipe in on every ten mi.
Autoinobiil's brought new faces
rom tuir ti' 'ighboring towns. and
|ad i'dghS aw 1 he curtain arose on
the May Damec and Coronation
