THAT FIRST DAY OFF TO
SCHOOL
His mother gave Ids hair a pat and '
put his hat on. straight.
And tucked bis satchel In his
arm and said to hold It tight;
Then, whila the other children wait
ed for him at the gate,
She kissed him, and we let him
go, our eyes with pride alight—
Away tQ school, away to school!
Our little baby boy,
That's never been away from us
three hours ebfore, to school!
.We stood and watched blm out of
sight, and smiled, but not with
Joy;
His mother cried a little bit —
and 1 grinned lUca a fool.
For oh, there is so much to learn,
so much, ve grieve must lie,
Sq much of sweet and sorrow and
so much of right and wrong,
We yearn to keep him sheltered,
but we sadly know that he
Must learn to vie with others or
he never can grow strong—
Must learn the thousand lessons
which the teachers never teach,
Must learn the elemental laws the
elemental way;
Ah, yes! wo know it's best of him,
yet aching arms we reach
And wish we had our baby back,
the one we lost today.

When the bottom drops out of the thermometer
and there's a trail to be broken, just pull on a pair of
"Hipress" Short Boots or Leather Top "Shupaks" to
keep your feet warm and comfortable.
Keep that same pair of "Shorts" or "Shupaks" on until
the mercury hits its highest point in the summer. You'll
find them cool and comfortable. Winter or summer there
is comfort in "Hipress" because the tough, strong rubber
is practically unaffected by heat or cold.
And "Hipress" is not only comfortable, but what's more wonderful,
it has absolutely put an end to hob-nailed half soles. For the soles of White
"Hipress" Boots and Shoes will actually outwear steeL That may seem
impossible, but you can prove it to your own satisfaction by wearing your
first pair of White "Hipress."
Ask your dealer for the Boots or Shoes with the "Red Line 'round the Top."
He'll give you genuine "Hipress."
