GOOD IMPLEMENTS
ARE RECOMM ENDED
Time Has Arrived for Farmer to
Use Tools and Machines to
Save Time and Labor.

Good implements often represent
the difference between profit and loss
in farming. One man cultivates
field in one day; it takes another man
one and one-fourth days to cultivate
another the same size. One man
breaks field in three days; it takes
the same size. The difference is in
implements. The cost of the imple-
ments and their upkeep may not be
far from the same.
The time has come for farmers to
seek implements and machines that
save labor and make money.

SHOE MEN ALARMED
AT LEATHER FAMINE

Philadelphia, May 16.-The National
Shoe Retailers association with head
quarters in this city, has called a con-
ference of allied industries from all
parts of the country to consider alb
normal conditions, making for an acute
shortage of leather and shoe findings
generally, as well as material price ad-
vances on shoes and the outlook for a
real merchandise famine by fall.
A. H. Geuting, secretary of the as
sociation, in discussing the proposed
conference said today:
Extraordinary conditions and the
prospect of a serious shortage of
leather very soon, are alarming every
body in the trade. One of the things
we hope to accomplish through the
conference of allied industries is
elimination of waste. We have just
been notified of an additional advance
of seven cents foot for glazed kid in
this market.
This means that the fashionable
eight-nch boot for women which is in
such big demand for wear with short
skirts must make an advance of from
so cents to IS cents pair over the
