Russia, the newest democracy. Is a
nation of contradictions; "an Asiatic
flection of Europe'," it has been aptly
called.
With a past bathed In mystery, and
a present that Is more understandable
to the oriental than to the European
or American, it now has thrown over
a centurys-old autocracy and taken Its
.. place among the modern democracies
of the west.
Believing Its readers will wish to
know more about this new giant in
the family of virtual republics. The
West Virginia has compiled a tabliod
history of the Russian empire. The
i> "first chapter appears today.
Russia Is nineteen years younger
than Germany.
It dates as a nation from SB2 A. P.
1 It; was founded at Novgorod. 100 miles
south of Petrograd. by a Scandanin"
avian named Rurik.
But Russian history runs back into
the days before Christ, when the great
plains were inhabited by barbarians
known to the ancient Greeks as Scythians.
Herodotus visited southern Russia
in 450 B. C\. and wrutc a history o(
the Scythian tribes.
He mentions the Hyperboreans,
dwellers in the Artie regions, from
whom, perhaps the modern Eskimos
and other polar peoples are descended.

!y Russia proper, the European pat* of tl
quarters of the empire, but contains only
sus. covets 2.254.301 square utiles. The I
tribes from the Elbe (Germany) and a
the Danube, moved into the Russian
plains. These were centuries of eter- t
nal conflict between tribes. v
Important centers of population,
however, sprang up at Novgorod and n
Kiev. t
The geography of Russia was responsible
for these. ii
Russia's great rivers spring from a
single region cast and soutb of Petro- b
grad. i:
In early days these rivers were!"
more or less connected by interlacing j "
chains of lakes.
In summer, trihesraen could go by flatboat
to all parts of the great plain, t
Boat routes joined the Baltic, White, f
Black and Caspian seas.
In western Europe mountain ranges t
split the people into minor tribes g
! which developed into the nations of tl
1 Germany. France, Italy, Austria, Hungary.
Spain, etc. g
I Russia had no mountains in its in- v
terior, but was encircled by long t
; ranges of mountains, which made it in
effect a continent in itself. t
The Urals on the east, the Caucasus t
mountains on the- south, the Carpath- g
ians and the German ranges on the a
! west, made the dwellers in the big
I basin turn to each other for trad- 1
S inc purposes. n
Within these mountains the tribes c
1 traveled by sledges in the winter, even i

Just Why She Said It
I do not know, but that fine lady
really did say?
"THIS STORE IS JUST PERFECT"
?only she was mistaken. Nobody knows so much
about it as the writer, who surely knows how
much better the store is than it used to be, and
even more, he knows how much better it will be
because of the diligent study and earnest effort,
to every day improve something.
To be just as good as other stores is not rising up
to the ideal and endeavor many of our workers
have set for this store.
"What is your idea of a good store?" a kindly
critic may ask. The answer is?
Come and see!

Here is a Chc.rt that is an Object Lesson
of Leather Values and Shoe
Prices as they Exist Today
The largest shoe indicates the present shoe value at Hartley's today.
The next shoe shows t e present values in the average store today.
The smallest shoe sho s the shoe value if it were based on present
wholesale costs of leather and present wholsale prices of shoos.
The reason that he largest shoe value is to be had
at Hartley's today is because the foresight of this
store enables us to offer over ten thousand dollars
worth of shoes, bought and paid for and delivered,
that came to us at the prices of last summer. With
this resource as a fortification the Hartley Store will
protect the public from exorbitant prices.
But Buy Now to be Safe
Shoe prices in most stores have gone up 50 per
cent or more.
The average increase of the Hartley Store over old
low prices of two years ago is 33 1-3 per cent.
Our prices will go up no more while the present
