-Four thousand union miners ofWest-
ern Kentucky have laid down picks
and shovels and will not take them up
again until wage scale agreement be-
tween the miners of district % and Il !

sOciation is signed. This action was
ratified al Louisville by the joint ses-
sion of both miners and operators
after almost Two weeks of di5agree-
ment on the question of shot-firing
and the length of term for the agree
ment TO run. The joint scale COM

airy TO keep The mines free of water
and the boilers going, will be mined
in the union mines. These include the
mines in the counties of Ohio, MuhleE'

Both President Smith, of the miners
and d. Stewart Miller, commissioners
for the operators, emphasized and re-
iterated the statement that In no sense
was the situation at the strike stage,
that II was merely truce whereby
time for elaboration for both sides
might be had, and no non-union la

awaiting Developments from the other
States on the same propositions, and
especially from the Toledo National

a. The Green River Tobacco Growers
Y iAssociation is the name under which
the tobacco growers of the counties
of Daviess, Breckenridge, Hancock,
Mclean and Ohio are now organized.
Those growers who formerly consti-
tuted the A. s. of E., and very
large per cent of the independent
growers are in the organization and
there is every prospect that the
Home Warehouse company will short
ly join the forces.
I Officers have been elected, con-
stitution and bylaws have been
adopted and all of the preliminary
work has been done. These things
were done at mass meeting OF
growers held in greensboro on Satur-
day. The board of control will meet
in Greensboro on Saturday Of this
week to elect secretary-treasurer aud
perfect plans for operation
800 GROWERS PRESENT.
About 800 tobacco growers partic-
ipated in the meeting of Saturday and
the vote by which the constitution was
adopted was almost unanimous. The
result was not accomplished, however,
without some friction, and at one time
there were indications that the meet
ing would break up in wrangle.
The formation of the new organi-
cation is the elimination of efforts
that have been in progress for weeks.
Two meetings of the A. S. OF b., one
of the Home Warehouse association
and conferences of independent grow
ers have been held to consider IL, and
there has been great amount of per-
sonal work The constitution was
worked out and agreed upon by a
committee of tweniy-seven tobacco
growers, equally divided among the
Equity, the Home warehouse and the
Independent growers.

regarded as an exceptionally strong
one. ne pltSAutAN1 AhShiy ~ - /.

the Davies county union Of the A.
s. of e. and was untiring in his eff
forts to bring The independent grow
ers into the organization and TO hold
the then warning factions within the
society together. He was not imme-
diadely successful IN either-in fact
separation of the Home and Louisville
storage factions occurred during his
term and caused him 10 resign--but
the new organization in which all are
likely to be consolidated rs largely
> the fruit of his efforts both during
and since his term as president.
IS. r. Ewing, the vice president,
has not heretofore affiliated with any
tobacco growers organization. He
is a man of sound business judgment
and OF broad experience as a to-
bacco grower. His influence will add
strength to the organization.-lOw-

developed, only in those days the heel was sever
al inches higher than those now worn.
OF course the smallest shoes of all are worn by
Chinese women Some of these only two
inches long, The present empress is trying to
break up the cruel custom of msshapenpg the
feet Probably in another generation these di'
minutive shoes will be curiosity, but up to
few years ago Chinese girl whose feet were
four inches long found it difficult proposition to
get married. while the parents of the girl with the
twoinch foot was overrun with applicants AS
a compensation to these Chinese women for the
tortures they underwent during the time their
feet were being matreated they took great pride
in embrodering beautiful designs upon their
shoes. Very few shoes for women are on sale
in China, nearly all women make their own.
In the northern countries, coarse leather boots
are the customary footwear, partly on account or
the cold but principally because low shoe is of
too shallow draft to navigate the poor roads
large percentage of these boots of home man
ufacture, roughly stitched and crude in appear
ance.
Just why shoes for poor persons came into
vogue is question that remains unanswered
They originated in the Grecian sandal and have
developed with the increasing tenderness of feet to
the heavy leather affair all know Yet an
Irish assie who goes about barefooted all her
days has natural sole upon her foot from
quarter to half inch thick. And she does not
have corns, either.
But Americans need not complain of the in
stituton. We made 24211O,035 pairs of shoes
in 1906, a pair for every inhabtant of America,
France, Germany, Austria, and few of the small
er countries. The value of the industry was $780,
17045S. All that for years output. or
more money than there in the world when
the first sandal was made The American shoe
is now walking the streets of every capital of
the world; it is in the shops in every center of
trade; and even the thresholds of far eastern
temples, the American shoe lies beside the crude
wooden sandals, and late corners stop a moment
TO examine it and try ii on, IL no one is looking.
One of the greatest problems which modern
civilization has had TO face is the clothing of Us
feet In the days centuries upon centuries ago
when man only wild beast of the jungle,
he wore no shoes and therefore not bothered
with corns. But to-day when every part of the
body is covered except the hands and head, man S
wearing of shoes has become necessity,
Thus some of the functions of modern ciyiliZa-
tons "pedes" are disappearing, Toenails, no
longer being an actual need among tribes which
wear shoes are disappearing and a scientist a
few years ago declared that within 100 years
there will be no toenails.

ago. wore moccasns, today clothes his feet in

of Germany cobbler So William Gift
ford the famous editor of the Quarterly.
Shoes as know them, are purely western
institution. But there is reason and incidentally
queer uxtaposition Christian takes his hat
off when he enters church or a house: an Asiatic
shows his reverence by taking his shoes off OBJ
viousy it would be quite nuisance to stoop down
and unlace your shoes every time you called on
friend went to church. So the Asatics wear
shoes that can be kicked off easily we can
remove our hats.
Some made with straw soles and sell for
about ten cents pair; others made of wood ;
while still others made of leather of various
kinds. When shoes are reduced 10 such simple
proportions it is but natural to expect rather
crude effects. Peasants often cut strips of wood,
fasten a thong about the big toe and the board
and trudge along comfortably as the man who
buys the ready-made shoes Of America and in some
cases even more Another scheme is to use a
block of wood and stick knob in it so 1t will rise
between the big toe and its neighbor and by a
dexterous and practced of the toe muscles, it
answers very well indeed.
In Brittany the making of shoes is village oc-
cupatlon The whole family chips in on the work,
from the six year old child to the great grand
father, and between them they make the most
of the wooden shoes that the market An
American boy would probably fall down and skin
his knees il he to try to play in wooden shoes,
but the little Dutch and Belgian boys romp about
the streets to their hearts content in them and
never drop them off.
We have been wearing practically the same kind
of shoes for so many years that we are liable to
forget that they varied in styles as radically as
women's hats do now During the time OF Edward
w ii England the parliament had TO pass law
reguatagu.the length OF shoes. Some of them

with fKe4ehds stuffed out with straw One worthy
Scotch king doubled his back and attached the
points TO his belt But of course that style was IN
vogue before the days of trolley cars.
Then in the next generation when the law pre-
vonted long pointed shoes, they began to broaden
and this continued until they had to pass another
law TO stop tue broadening. II was at about this
time and later that choppines came in These

brogans and he would laugh at his brother red
skin who took to wearing animals skins his
feet. There are few tribes in the world to-day,
cept in the darkest portions of Africa. who still
spurn the wearing of shoes in some form other,
OF course, every nation has its own special kind
of Shoes some of which consist of nothing moro
than fiat piece of board and a strap. That
sort are classed under the general caption OF
sandals
Hundreds of years ago, when people wore nc
shoes they never complained of rheumatism they
never had ingrowing toenails, neither did they
cultivate corns and seldom could they boast of an
attack of govt They called it 'evil spirit then.
But the advance of civilization had its drawbacks.
The feet We're clothed. but at the same time the
wearing of the shoes brought disease of these
supports and authorities doubt whether
civilizations feet any better off to-day than
they were thousand years ago when they were
filed with slivers, brambes and the like, but
We're not nearly wide topic for discussion as
they are to-day for then people didn't mind the
little inconvenience. To-day, great progress hav'
ing been made in that line smaller ailments OF
the feet a source of complaint.
The most civilized portions OF the world have
developed tenderness of the feet which has be-
come a tradition in the circles which have made
the greatest progress. People who wear pointed
shoes are compelled to suffer the same agonies
that would come if their toes were bound together
with adhesive tape and they were compelled to
walk about thus conditioned Others who wear
shoes too small have swelling of the feet wher
they take off their shoes Shoes too large produce
corns, just as do small shoes.
Young ladies and some older ones who follow
the fashions with good intent, equip themselves
with French-heeled shoes, which raise the heels
into the air from three to six inches This o.
course gives them beautiful instep, they claim
and ii also keeps them walking on their toes l
twists the spine and exerts pressure upon th'
base of the brain which brings on fearful head
aches if the practice is kept up for any length o
time each day Skeptical persons with set idea
on shoes are talking of asking the next session
of congress to put tariff on French heels whicl
will effectively bar them from this country. Blu
there are so many wives of congressman and sen
ators who declare that French heels far NOR
