Pure Shoes Laws Adopted in
Several States is Given as
Cause of Increase.
MEASURE is DENOUNCED
At Least TWO Million More
Hides Yearly Would Be
Needed in Country.
sBy Assee,ArED psEss'

NEW YORK, Jam 13-In the opinion
OF speakers at the annual convention
of the National Shoe Retailers Assoc
tltion, which closes with a banquet
tonight. the retail price of shoes may
soon reach price OF SO pair.
Pure shoe laws" are already adopt
ed in twenty-five states and several
measures Of the same nature now
pending in Congress were given as the
chief causes for increasing the price
OF footwear. Both speakers and Q
majority OF the 200 delegates de-
noiinced the legislation which would
cause all shoes not made entirely OF
leather to be stamped adulterated or
substitute leather
The shoe rehlIlers were told that If
all shoes were made of all leather two
million more hides per annum would
be required in this country alone and
with hides practically in control OF
the larger packing houses it cannot
be foreseen to what height shoe prices
might soar.

R. K. Doe of Duluth, naturalization
officer, examined twenty-five appli-
cants for citizenship papers, only one
being refused. Several Germans
made requests that they be permit
ted to become citizens of the United
States and they were closely ques-
toned as to whether they had been
properly excused from service in the
army of the Kaiser. One man, when
asked who the president of the ma
ton is, answered Wilson, and gave
Taft's name as the previous chief
executive, but when Officer Doe re-
quested him to name Taft's predeces-
sor, he was puzzled, and after a short
delay, said: "Well, I can't remember
his name, but he was great hunter"
He was admitted to citizenship.
This afternoon the reading of the
calendar took place and tomorrow
morning the civil jury cases will be-
gin. r-r~ ..~-.- -

SCHOOL SQUAD TO REPORT. ;.
Coach Bestul Hopes for Winning
Overwhelming Held.

Championship prospects for Be-
midi High school football eleven
never appeared brighter than at pres
ent, and it was with a broad smile
that Julius Bestul, instructor of scien-
ces in the high school, glanced over
the names of boys who will be candi-
dates for the team this fall. Every
position will have several candidates
and only the center job is worrying
Bestul. The backfeld, with "Fuzz'
Johnson, who attracted much atten-
ton at Pillsbury year ago by his
brilliant playing at quarterback, will
in all probability pilot the team play,
while the other back positions will he
fought for by the two Grahams, Sim
ons, Tanner, Claude Bailey and sew
eral others. The team will be fairly
heavy. A football meeting will be
held this afternoon and the first prac-
tice will be held tomorrow.

Next Week to Be one Of Chief At
fractions Many to Exhibit.
EXPERTS TO GIVE LECTURES.


Each day, as the SBeltrami county
fair draws nearer becomes more
and more evident that the exhibit Of
the school children Is to be one Of
the most interesting features.
w. B. Stewart, county superintend-
ent Of schools, is working overtime
in an effort to maintain. the enthus-
iasm which has been aroused among
the pupils during the past few
months and is sending out literature
to all teachers and pupils Of the
county, explaining the proper manner
in which to prepare and ship ex-
.hibits to the fair grounds.
The fact that the premium list in
cludes a larger list of prizes than
ever before is an added attraction and
it is the desire of those most inter-
ested to excel any previous school ex-
l.ibit. AS the fair this year is gIvens
one week later than before, added
time is given for the preparation of
the displays. The exhibits will all
be placed in the new building. There
is a possibility thatsa structure to be
used for school exhibits only, will
be erected for the 1915 fair.
