Vice Consul General Heydecker, of st.

shoe industry in Russia to the State De
partment:
The boot and shoe industry is one of

mand, the high protective tariff, and the
lack of competition.

Increased Boots and shoes have to pay
from 30 to 50 per cent more than former

has become impossible to import Aneri-

With the exception of u few small con
Germs in Warsaw, there is only one large
shoe factory in Russia This concern
does an enormous business and is one of
the most prosperous STICK companies in

Monday night, and it looked for minute
as though certain members would come

failure OF the town to dispose OF the

An act to cure these defects has been in

Speaking the rural free delivery service
winch has grown TO be a popular branch
OF the postal service an official of the

that II was not true that the advent OF
rural free delivery into a community
meant the passing of the old popular cross
roads country store. III is true. said the
ofhcial. that in some instances where the
establishment of rural free delivery meant
the abolishing Of the pOstoffices there have
been protests from few friends OF the
outgoing postmasters. but the protests
We're as drops in the bucket compared TO
the demand for free delivery"
Inc facts are. said the official, that
tabhshed the trade of the crossroads
country store has increased because the
letter carrier is frequently called upon by
the busy housewife to leave orders at the
store, and in this way the trade Is in
creased. There is no branch Of the postal
service that is so popular with the people
as rural free delivery. 1t has only been q
little while back since rural free delivery
was looked upon as an experiment mat
must result in failure Even its most ar
dent advocates had some doubt as TO It's
ultimate success. But the experimental
stage has passed and the service mas now
