The decree of the United

which was filed to-day, d-jclares
the American Tobacco Company,

the R. J.ReynoldsCompany,Pierre

Durham Company a monopoly
and engaged in an illegal combi
nation, lhe decree restrains
these holding companies from
engaging in foreign and inter
state commerce until competition
between them is restored. The
decree denies the receivership
asked by the government.
An anneal which has been
taken to the United States Si

Cost a big sum at any season of

John T. Eiggs & Co., and buy
them all some Shoes for Christ
mas, we do not believe you will
have to "repeat" till next Christ

Don't -let anyone tell you that
they have as good at half the
price. Figure it out for yourself.
All good leather brings practical
ly the same price in the market.
All workmen earn practically the
same price for skilled work. If
there is good leather in the shoe
and if there is good work in the
making, there should be a uni
form price for the goods.
