TWO FIRES OCTOBER ~
Buildings at Fair Grounds and the
Hooker Plant Burnt


October p was an unlucky day for
St. Johnsbury this year, for on that
day there were two fires. The first
one early in the morning, was at the
Fair Ground. Before it was dis
covered the large barn owned by the
| Fair Ground Company and finished
into stalls, together with barn be-
| longing to Gilman Brothers, which
was built two years ago, were on fire.
| While the cause of the fire is not
| definitely known it is thought that
tramps night be to blame as about
% of them have been making their
headquarters down there for some
time. The chemical fire truck was
called, but the fire already had such
start that they couldn't do much
then. This barn of Gilman's was
worth about $500 and was the only
building they owned that was not
insured. 1t was used to exhibit sale
horses at Fair time and for a store
house for wagons in the winter.
Fortunately no wagons had been put
there this fall. The building be-
longing to the Fair Ground Company
was valued at about $1,000.
About 11:15 p. m. the fire alarm
rang 81. Before this had sounded
the second peal the chemical fire
truck and three men had started
for the scene. Hooker's building in
Paddock Village used by Jones &
Shields as a shaving house. Spon-
taneous combustion must have been
the cause of this fire for when the
fire truck arrived the building was
all in flames. They went right to
work with the chemicals and had two
streams of water playing before the
three hose companies and the hook
and ladder arrived. This was
another proof of the economy OF the
fire truck. The entire loss was
about $500 and otherwise would
have been about twice that much.

WHY SHOES
COST MORE

The better grades of Sole Leather
are from TO 2 cents per pound
higher today than they were a year
ago. This means higher cost for
In soles, Half soles and Full Dou
bic Soles etc. The average increased
cost per pair of Men Shoes retail
ing from s.. so to $500 is 10 cents
more for the sole leather alone than
it cost to make the same shoe one
year ago. Other shoe parts, made
from Sole Leather such as welting,
counters, heels, top lifts and box
toes show an increase of 5 to 8 cents.
One year ago Tan Calf Skins sold
for d, "a and % cents per foot as
against %, Is and 80 cents today.
Black Calf Skins are selling for ~
% and % cents per foot as against
Fl, q and Is cents a year ago.
The average advance is better than
8 cents per square foot on Calf
Leather, which means about IL
cents per pair more cost in the up
pers for a pair of men s shoes. The
manufacturer cost figures show
that the increased cost of Mems
Shoes to retail from SIS to $500
To Maintain the Quality
is from d to 80 cents per pair.
For these conditions no Trusts,
Tanners, Shoe Manufacturers,
nor Retailers are responsible.
The we'll knownalaw Of supply and
demand controls the situation. With
people all over the world wanting
more leather in all its forms there
are proportionally less hide bearing
animals being raised.
