Shoe Trade Notes
By z. J. ":


Seam work has been installed in
the lasting department.. This sys-
tenn has been found to work well
in other factories.
A new edge cutter has been in
troduced by the United Shoe Ma
chinery Co. It has speed of 3. 800
movements a minute, having two
tools, one for finishing the shanks
and the other for finishing the
foreparts.
Cuba buys more of our shoes
than any other country. In Sep
TENDER, 1921, 1860 worth were
exported.
A few weeks ago an item in this
column gave the latest bids for
United States army shoes. A typo
graphical error stated that the
shoes were machine shoes, instead
Of marching shoes. The contract
was awarded TO The Roberts, John
sou and Rand Co. of st. Louis, for
It's 600 pairs. This is the largest
contract for. shoes given by the
government for several years. 1t
may not be generally known that
the government owns the lasts on
which the army shoes are built
and lends them to the contractors.
The demand. for velvet and cloth
shoes continues TO be insistent.
This is a fad brought over from
England. There are still a num-
Der of chappies in New York who
carry umbrellas aud turn their
trousers up every time it rains in
:
London. tbs said the appearance
Of velvet shoes on Broadway caus-
ed riot.
When the Aldrich- Payne tariff
bill was under discussion in Con-
gress, many shoe manufacturers
testified, before committee Ii, airing
in favor Of free hides They also
went on record for free shoes and
free finished leather. The ques.
ton that is now agitating the minds

Write to Mother

Write letter home to mother, boys,
She longs to hear from you.
Theirs no love like mothers love,
None SO pure and true.
Her prayers for you are constant,
For her there-is no rest.
Loves fame burns bright,
Both day and night,
In every mothers breast
She cared for you in childhood,
As none but mother could.
She shared your little troubles,
As no other ever would.
Must you then forsake her
When her hair has turned to gray?
She loves you still, as when babe,
As though twas yesterday.
Write letter home to cheer her,
May each word be blessed;
No other can be nearer,
She loves the black sheep best.
Don't wait until tomorrow,
That may be too late;
She may then be with the angels
Beyond the Golden Gate.

Little Shepherd OF klngdomC come
If your choice of good literature is
the reading of stories which
appeal to the nobler sentiments,
read this book. Mr.. Fox, the au-
thor, has given to us very choice
and rare piece of fiction; one, in
fact, that impresses the reader with
the thought that he is receiving
delayed or overlooked happenings
or relatives. In the creation OF
this wholly splendid character
the obscure mountain boy and
orphan-Mr. Fox has done some
thing more than to present to us a
clean, noble type of manhood de-
veloping amid sordid surroundings
and uncouth associates. He paints
us an almost ideal character. In the
episodes touching the life of Chad
Budford; the experiences through
association, and the spiritual guild
ance manifest in and around his
every walk of life, hereditary dis
pensation seems 10 me most prom
inent. Who, upon reviewing on
printed page, the assembling OF
such splendors as rugged mountain
tops, fertile valleys set in the stage
of life's progress, the turbulent
times Of Tennessee's and Ken
tuckey's pioneer days, when hostile
Indians roamed those regions,
could fail to be, in sense, if not
in person at least in thought, a
partisan in the undertakings and
achievements of the leading spirits
of that time? Normal Chad, the
supposed woods-colt, and his dog.
Jack, are the principal charac-
tors in the story. But brief sum-
mary will explain their positions
aud furnish, possibly, sufficient
points for you to determine wheth-
er or not you would care to read
the story.
Upon the death of his foster par
ents. Chad, breathing a pray
er to God to take care of his dead,
closes his supplicatlon with the
following: "I'm jis' by, but /
mus be man now" He had re-
turned to the hillside cabin, his
home, for a short period and taking
therefrom an old muzzle-l loader
and a small quantity of food. calls

While on this journey to the

in the doubly intense form of a

on the far-reaching omnipotence
Of Him to whom he had gone in

Of which he seemed to feel in all
his after life, as q sort Of demon

ny aonELY SWEETHEART.
BY EDWIN A. NYE

NY nOAELY SWELL HEART.
My sweetheart is not pretty.
She is rather plain Of feature.
Nor does she bother her very sensi.
BILE head concerning her looks, except
Ing that she Is dressed neatly and be-
comingly. But my sweetheart has q
way about her. She Is a charming
girl because she is gracious girl.
So many pretty girls are apt to be
capricious or exacting. They demand
too much attention. They are ..uncer-
tain. coy and hard to please" Ny
girl is not that sort. She Is kind and
patient and expects no more attention
than she is willing to give. And
Ny sweetheart does not firt.
She knows that .coquetry Is not her
forte. She is just Straightforward
girl and sweetheart She is thought
full Of others rather than OF herself
and Is. therefore genial and compan-
ionable-an ideal chum.
Let those who wish run after the
pretty faces.
Beauty is only skin deep; gracious
ness Is soul deep.
Let those who wish dance attend
ance on the handsome girls. l dote
on the handsome ways of my plain
girl.
Her quiet sympathies, her helpful
ness, her readiness to forgive, her
hearty comradery, are more to me
than mere symmetry OF face and fig-
ure
Because she is genuine and simple
and sweet. Being genuine, she uses
no artificial manners to beguile; she Is
just herself Being simple and with
out guile, she never tries to deceive.
And, being sweet. she cannot be 9TH
erwise
She is not improba bly, romantic after
the manner Of some. She Is not diff
cult to please. And she II always
safe in counsel.
What a wife she'll make!
She is trustworthy and dependable,
my homely sweetheart. When she Is
married to me l shall not come home
to one who signs for what might have
been or INDUCES in longings to be
understood" She is not built that
way. She will look her duties fairly
in the face and meet them cheerfully.
My plain, bonny girl!
As my wife she will not seek con-
quests abroad. Glorying in her home,
she will wrap her gracious soul like a
mantle about her husband and chill
dren.
Your pretty wife?
do not envy you. She may have
the weakness Of vanity and stumble
over it or even fall. Pardon me,
said may
! So here's to my homely sweetheart!

PAPA IS TOO KIND
New Reason Advanced and by
a Woman at That, Why
Divorce Is Common.
OPINION OF MRS. GIBSON

New York, Oct. 25.-"Husbands are
too kind to their wives. That is the
reason SO many wives are being driv-
en- into the divorce courts
Such is the paradoxical opinion
which Mrs. Ida McGlone Gibson ex-
pressed in a current magazine.
American homes are the happiest
in the world" commented Mrs. Soma
Loebinger, editor of the American
Suffragette and leader of the militant
advocates of votes for women.
1.-The fact that any one in the I'm
tied States with legitimate griev-
ance can get divorce proves that the
great majority who stay married are
happy. Also, the majority of Ameri-
can women are devoted to the homes
and housekeeping is not such COM
plicated science that girl can not
master it's rudiments in few weeks
even IL she becomes wife without
knowing how to make cup of tea.
THE trouble with many women is
that they consider whatever they do
al q IhC AAO0t eAh6S vi
earth. l agree with Mrs. Gibson that
1t would be good thing II mothers
trained their daughters to greater
sense Of responsibility.
THE business manager of a home
should have a fixed housekeeping al
lowance and more important still.
she should have q fixed and adequate
dress allowance so she will not be
tempted to shave the grocery bill or
cut down on the meat when she needs
a new hat or a pair of shoes.
There is a certain class of profess
sional man whose wife has to be ex-
trayagant 1t is not ethical for doc
tors. lawyers. or even brokers OF the
best standing to advertise. But they
can and do convert their wives into
walking advertisements"
