Requests of the Teachers.

| In response to the requests of the
male teachers of the county the Elk
ecutive Committee of the Maury Coun
| ty Teachers Association has decided
to postpone the regular meeting of the
association from next Saturday until
Saturday, Feb. 10. This action was
taken in order that there might not be
any conflict with the date of the pri-
mary, either the first election or the
run off.
No meeting of the association has
been held since the first Saturday in
December, due to the fact that the
first Saturday in this month was on
New Years day For that reason
members Of the Executive Committee
were somewhat loath to postpone the
meeting, but finally decided to yield
to the requests of the teachers who
would have been deprived the privi-
lege of voting or would have been
forced to remain away from the meet
ing.
The action of the Executive Com
mittee meets with the approval of
County Superintendent Graham, who,
although regretting the necessity for
postponing the meeting, does not want
to have a single teacher in the county f!
denied the privilege of voting. 1t was
necessary to postpone the meeting for
two weeks, inasmuch as the second or
run-off primary will follow the first
one week later.
The same program that had been
for the meeting on next Sat
lrday will be used at the adjourned
Meeting Superintendent Graham
Urges a full attendance at the meeting
N Feb. 10, since it has been neces-
AIRY to so often postpone the sessions.

his withdrawal created somewhat of

address he announced that he would
be unable to continue in the race
he had not the time to

Sam Harlan, of the well known shot
house CT Harlan & Evans, has jus
returned from Boston, where HI
was an interested spectator at the
meeting of the National Shoe Whole

land there will be no advance in
prices during the spring and summer.
But next fall prices are sure to ad-
vance, If the customer is to be pro-
tected in the quality of his footwear.
The advance will be, in my opinion,
from ten to twenty-five cents per pair
while in Boston ! watched with
much interest the meeting of the Ma
tional Shoe Wholesalers association
and the following resolution adopted
by that organization correctly states
the wholesalers position:
The existing high level of prices
for leather and other materials, COM
pels general readjustment of prices
for all grades of footwear. The same
worldwide economic conditions which
have brought about advancing prices
Of practically all commodities include
in their operation hide. leather and
shoe prices. This necessitates, for
the protection of the consumer in the
quality of his footwear, an advance in
price equivalent to the increased cost |
of material"
1T is clearly evident that the ad-
vance of prices by the wholesalers will |
force corresponding advance by the
retailers. The advance of prices by
the wholesalers is justified by the
high price of hides, as the tanners are
forced to ask more for feathers. The
advance. in fact, corresponds with the
advance of all other products, and
'eally works no hardship upon the
'armer, as he receives more than
enough additional for his hides to
over the enhanced cost of shoes"
Mr. Harlan stated that he bought
argely while in New York and that
he advance in prices would not affect
lis house for the next few months.
