Inc Snoe dealers OF washington are unltng IN puD-
fishing this statement because they know that the Public
fair-mnded and interested knowing the facts about
the shoe leather situation
Do you know that every sing lie item that enters
into the making of pair of shoes-leather, Innings,
nails, thread etc-has greatly increased in cost?
The causes for the general advance are briefly as
follows:
lst-Ihe demand for leather is greater than the
suppy-on account of the decsease in the number of
cattle In the United States, increased population and
the European war.
2nd-Cost of Tanning Materials has increased
1000 to l000@o owing to the blockade of certain
ports.
3rd-Decreased supply of raw skins by curtailment
Of of the supply ceners due to the European war
4th-The freight embargo Of Eastern railroads,
due to the shortage of ships for carrying.
5th-Increased marine freight and insurance
charges owing to the war.
6th-Export of huge quantities of sole leather to
Europe.
7th-Increased leather consumption in America,
due to the greater employment of labor all over the
country and more money in circulation from increased
business earnings. This is
Why---
Shoes Cost More to Make,
More to Wholesale and
More to Retail.
Since These Figures Haue Been
Compiled here Has Been an Ad-
uance of Nearly Is per cent.

BAPTISTS START WORK
OF BUILDING ADDITION

Work has started on improving
and building an addition to the
Baptist church, Fifth and Spruce
streets. Two rooms will be con-
structed on the north of the audi
forum, which will be used for Sun
day school rooms. The growth OF the
Sabbath school and congregation
with the Rev. Thomas as pastor
makes this building necessary. The
new addition will be built so as to
answer for church assembly pur-
poses, while the entire interior will
be redecorated.
This is the third church in the
city that is building and contem-
plating improvements for this sum-
mer and fall. 1t is indicative of the
spiritual and moral growth OF the
towns inhabitants.

INDoRsE TINE PLAN
Kansas Towns Would Set Clocks
Ahead in a General Movement

The plan for setting the clocks
ahead an hour for the summer
months is meeting with hearty in
dorsement from the merchants OF
the town. All are strongly in favor
If the movement is made state or
nation wide. 1t is evident that the
plan locally would be a failure, as
great confusion would result.
AS advocated and operated in Eu-
ropean and eastern cities all clocks
are set ahead one hour during the
summer months which gives man
more sunlight for his varied activi
ties and brings them in the more
pleasant and better portion of the
"a hours.
Kansas City, Lawrence, Topeka
and other Kansas towns would CO
operate should the movement be
come general.
