The Shoe Situation.

There appears to be some lack of confidence
among footwear buyers as to future demands,
while the perplexing style question accentua-
tes the prevailing uncertainty. Wholesalers.
however, are quite optimistic regarding pros
poets and believe that orders for Easter goods
will soon increase, with the usual requests for
quick shipments. Previous army contracts
keep some factories busily engaged and deiiv-
cries on these are being regularly made. Trade
in leather is again slow and unsatisfactory,

provement has not been maintained Negotia-
tions are pending on European military equip
ment orders, but actual foreign business is as
quiet as at any time since the war started.

Advised 10 Eat Potatoes.

The Agricultural Department at Washington
has issued bulletin in which it says that in
these days of high prices of bread consumers
should eat potatoes, as at GO cents bushel, 10
cents worth of potatoes-or 10 pounds-will
give the consumer little more actual nourish-
ment than will two one pound loaves of bread
at cents each. The department states that
the potato ranks next to bread as q carbohy-
drate food and can safely be made to take the
place of bread if the price of the latter con-
tinues to rise. With good Waldo county pota-
toes at 80 cents bushel the argument in favor
of the spuds is one hundred per cent stronger
