fall orders ahead that it is now un-
able to accept orders for delivery
earlier than last of August. This
does not apply to stock goods.
The demand for white pumps in
canvas and leather, almost to the
exclusion of other styles, save tan
calf, dull black calf and kid shoes,
has not tended to reduce dealers
stocks of low cuts to the extent
that manufacturers would like.
Travelling men, selling speciality
shoe lines, will finish up their terri
tories within the next few days, but
those carrying staple lines will be
out for the balance of this month
and in some cases will keep gong
well into July.
Busy, is the by-word of the man
ufacturing trade at present. 1t is
either case of still working on
summer orders, taking stock, or cut
ting the fall line. Fall orders have
been very satisfactory this year.
From orders placed, one thing is
certain. and that is, patent leather
has come into it's own once more.

the coming three weeks it will hit

facturer last week. If low cut
stocks were only as low as are the
high cut shoes, the manufacturer
would be satisfied, knowing that re-
tailers would have big demands for
shoes next fall, but with large
stocks of oxfords on hand the retail
er could not afford to carry an extra
heavy stock.
Kansas City is in the grasp of the
low heel craze. Everybody's wear
ing them and the end is now here in
sight. Young girls and women, who
last year would have thrown down
low heel shoe in disgust, are now
insisting the low heels are the most
comfortable shoe; also that they are
the most stylish. Women are i'm
proving wonderfully in hygienic
common sense. Women do not re-
alize what injury they are creating
by wearing high heels on their shoes
and slippers; as a consequence I've
seen a great deal of anterior arch
foot trouble in men as we'll as wom-
en- since the high heel advent in
shoes. High heels throw the weight
of the body onto the forepart of the
foot and the anterior arch is forced
downward as a result. Nature in
tended the body weight to be borne
mostly by the heel-and a low flat
heel best allows nature to have her
way. Besides a fiattened anterior
arch and a tender forefoot, bunions
and corns and hammer toes are re-
suits of the high heel infections; there
is also a shortening of the arc of
motion in the ankle joint, and in
time chronic condition is produced
that prevents the normal arc motion
of the joint. That is why a wo-
man long used to high heels cannot

She has lost too much of the normal

by gradual process of lessening

sickness and poor health among
women, by hundreds of scientists

1t is natural opinion of Amer
lean shoe men that the American
shoe will be the international shoe
of the future. They are sending a.
broad more than one million dollars
worth of shoes monthly, according
to reports, and most of them are
American styles. They look for
ward to an annual export of trade
of over one hundred millions of dol
lars and they have faith that the
American style shoe will dominate
the shoe trade of the world. But
the English are vigorous rivals
of Americans in seeking export
shoe trade and the Germans are also
very enterprising and ambitious riv-
ais. The United Kingdom exports
about as great value in footwear
as does the United States. In some
years the United Kingdom exports
greater value than does the U. S.
Naturally the English manufacturers
think the British shoe will dominate
the shoe trade of the future. The
enterprising Germans export Ger
man style shoes if foreign people
will have them, and if they won't
have German style shoes, then Ger
mans make styles that are familiar
to their customers. Their statesmen
study the requirements and the
styles of their prospective customers
and endeavor to make shoes to salts
fly them. The French. who have
some export trade, send abroad
their fine shoes, and gain reputa-
ton for their fine styles. The Swiss
export stout shoes. Spain exports
many alpargatas, orrope, soled shoes,
particularly to the West Indies,
Central and South American coun-
tries and the Philippines. What
shoe of these many competing kinds
will dominate the shoe trade of the
world in the future is very serious
problem, not merely to the men en-
gagged in the export trade, but to
men who are making shoes for do
nestle consumption. Whatever
shoe proves best will furnish an
ideal in shoe manufacturing other
countries will copy.

Saltwater Gazette:-W Ward n
Daniel Woodward of the Wisconsin
state prison at Waupun arrived in
the city Wednesday last and was the
guest of Warden Henry Wolfer. He
was formerly minister of the gospel
and lately was made warden of the
prison there.
The object of his visit was to gather
points about prison affairs and more
particularly as to the Irvine plant.
He visited the 0 d and the new
prisons.
Warden Woodward says that his
prison will open Irvine factory the
middle of September and make Irvine
for next season. 1t will be a plant
of 100 spindles and employ 100
prisoners.
Several year ago the Wisconsin
board of control was here to gather
information relative to the operation
of such plant and were surprised at
the money it required to conduct the
business and the executive ability re-
CURED to manage such affair. Since
then Wisconsin has provided fund
of $450,O0O. OF that sum $4,000
will be used in completing the in
stallation of the plant and the other
100000 will be used as a revolving
fund"

The results of the use of Doan's Kidney
Pills were highly satisfactory. This
remedy relieved me almost at once and

TRAINING SCHOOL REUNION.
Alumni of Union City School Lay
Extensive Plans.

Extensive preparations have been
made by the officers OF the Union City
Training School Alumni Association to
| hold reunion here, the home of their
school, tonight The feature of the
reunion, which promises to be a large
one, SURPRISING III number that of last
year, will be banquet held at the
Palace Hotel tonight. The various
chairmen of the committees elected by
the association last season have been
active during the last week in preparing
for the banquet, and have been gener-
ously aided in their work by many OF
the local graduates. When the asso-
citation was formed in 1911, John M.
Harrison was elected president, Bob
Marshall vice-president, and Miss Cora
Palmer secretary and treasurer. A rules
and bylaws committee was also formed
and other active officials. These officers
were instructed to continue their work
in keeping up the interest among the
members of the association till their
term expired, after period of four years,
when others would be elected to take
their places. After each social meeting
held annually, the members are &C
customed to hold business meeting,
at which parliamentary questions are
brought up and discussed and new by
laws and regulations are contemplated.
The various officers who have been
active in preparing for the coming re-
union and banquet report signs of an
unusual attendance this year. A great
many outsiders, close friends of the
graduates, have been invited to join in
the celebration, and many OF the alumni
not reached last year, when the asso-
citation was in its infancy, will be in at
tendance. The attendance at the ban
quet held in 1911 was greater than ex-
pected, and the interest manifested
among the members of the young asso-
citation was unusual. The officers are
sparing no pains to make the under
taking success, and they report that
the interest manifested toward the COM
ing reunion and banquet will 60 a great
way in giving the alumni association a
perfect footing.
President Harrison, who is away at
present attending to business, has an
nounced that his place this year will be
taken by Ira o. Parks, one of the most
active and enthusiastic of the local grad
yates. Mr.. Parks has bent every effort
toward making the approaching meeting
a success. He has been untiring in his
activity and interest, and his reports are
very sanguine.

A Dangerous Influence.

No matter how often the Democratic
platform would declare in favor of the
legalized saloon, we would still stand
unalterably opposed to that declara-
ration" declares the Greenville Demo-
crat, which would hotly resent the
charge that it is in favor of the illegal
saloon. And yet experience shows that
the saloon is going to exist under one
or the other of these forms. Nashville
Democrat.
What pity it is that tie Democratic
party must be committed to such a
statement. THE saloon is going to
exist under one or the other of these
FORMS" Lawlessness, defiant, is de-
termined to assert itself and rule. Do
what you will, say what you please,
lawlessness has come to stay and with
its power it will compel you to recog-
nize it.
The embarrassment by which we are
now confronted lies not so much in the
disposition of the liquor question as in
the corrupting power of those who
boldly defy the law. The sale of whisky
and whisky drinking may be democrat
izing, but its influence for bad is incom-
parable to the successful effort to null
lily the law. The open gambling house
lays its traps to entice and catch the
innocent country youth and to send his
soul to hell. The palm gardens allure
poor, young, innocent ignorant work
ing girls to ruin and death. These are
joined to and run in connection with
the open saloon. They are run by the
interests that maintain the open saloon.
1t is these who say they will maintain
no law. These are they who are going
to exist under one or the other of these
FORMS" THE prohibitionists have the
laws, the people have the whisky"
We are defiant. We are powerful. We
ignore the law. You are helpless. We
will entice your boys into gambling
houses and ruin thenR We will entice
young girls into placts of shame and
debauch them. It is useless for you to
complain. We have determined to ply
our trade of ruin and damnation in
one or the other of these FORMS"
Lord God of Hosts forgive us yet.

it have made wrong right?
But you must accept this lawlessness
in one form or another. Oh what an
unfortunate expression for Democracy,
coming, as it does, at this time. What
an influence it is liable to have on good
mothers and fathers of the State, who,
though they be lifelong, regular Demo-
Gratis, still are fearful of these corrupt
ing dens that are maintained to ensnare
and ruin the ones they love. There are
thousands of fathers in Tennessee who
are and have ever been good Democrats
who are so honest and unselfsh, should
they think their own children safe from
these temptations, still would not wish
to subject the sons and daughters of
other mothers and fathers to them.
There are thousands of good Democrats
in Tennessee who are not yet prepared
to accept lawlessness as one of the prin-
ciples of the Democratic party. 1t is a
mistake to cry Hooper! when law en-
forcement is advocated. Democracy is
the party of law enforcement and its
spokesman must so declare in order to
win decent, self-respecting Democrats
to her cause. To say the saloon with
all its vile, corrupting, lawless, death
dealing associations must exist in one
or another form," is disastrous. Oh
Democracy, how many crimes are COM
mitted in thy name!-Lebanon Banner.
