PRICE Of SHOES
TO SOAR AGAIN
ADVANCE DUE TO EUROPEAN
WAR CONDITIONS ARE BE-
ING kEENLY FELT.

The cost prices of shoes will be adj
vanced approximately 10 per cent
within the month of February, accord
ing to advices received by the local re-
tail dealers from practically all the
leading shoe factories throughout the
country. In fact, these advances are
already being experienced by the re-
ttailers here as well as elsewhere. The
cause is attributed 10 the European
war.
The unusually heavy demands espe-
cially for the heavier grades of mems
shoes, that have been pouring in upon
the factories of this country and the
consequent increase in the cost of
labor to meet these demands, and the
increased cost of all materials used in
! the manufacture of shoes, have, &C
cording to advices to the retail dealers
made it absolutely necessary for the
advances, though persistent effort had
been made to prevent it.
One local dealer, speaking to rep
| resentative of The News concerning
the advances in prices, said that by
| the new conditions LnaI nave DeeH
brought about in the shoe market, he
would be practically prohibited from
handling certain lines of low-price
shoes, for reason of the fact that his
houses reputation for quality could
not hencefortb be maintained with the
grade of SHOES that would necessarily
have to be substituted.
The situation as it now exists is
looked upon as unusual in the ex-
IRENE. Previous to the war the de-
mand for leather was very firm and
withstanding the general business de-
preston, the price was maintained on
account of the supply of hides decreas-
ling while the general demand was con-
annually breaking.

A PROCLAMATION

The Georgia Sunday School associa-
ton, which is cooperative Organiza-

School of Journalism
For University of Nebraska

Lincoln, Nov. 5.-(Special. "A
school Of journalism for the Univer-
sity OF Nebraska was urged by Henry
]. Allen, editor of the Wichita, Bea-
con in an address to the hundred and
more journalism students in Prof. M.
M. Fogg's course in news writing
(Which has three times the member
ship it had last semester.)

proposition of college journalistic

perience (twenty years in metropoli-
tan and country journalism) as a pub
Usher | have found nothing so badly
needed as trained intelligence"
Mr.. Allen helped establish the
school of journalism at Kansas uni
versity, housed in separate building,
and with half dozen professors,
which is doing great service for the
university's welfare and which is
raising the editorial and business STAN
dards of the Kansas press.
The editor, in Mr.. Aliens opinion,
exercises an influence--or should do
so-greater than either the teacher
or the minister, and state university
should do its part in training him.

RAILROADS SLOWLY
SOLVE CAR PROBLEM
Full Freight Houses Block At
tempts to Free Shipments
From Delay.
LABOR SHORTAGE H1NDERs

Congestion in the local freight
Yards is only now being somewhat
relieved, after some weeks Of hope
less piling Up of business. This relief
is the first sign that the car shortage
situation is actually clearing up
little. .,
Up to a few days ago one road
alone had 100 cars in the yards to
be unloaded, and could not handle
them because the freight house was
full. Because the car shortage rumor
was in the air, any cars available were
always loaded to the roof, and this
was what brought about the conges-
tion OF the freight houses.
Lack Workmen.
Outgoing merchandise suffered SIM
liar delays. This was partly due to
shortage of cars and partly to short
age of labor, as many men at this
season OF the year when work IS
abundant on the farms and in other
localities, will not work for the wages:
paid at the freight houses. Some OF
the roads pay their freight handlers
on a tonnage basis. This means that
when they are handling light material,
which does not run into tons very
fast, they make very small wages.
Jobbers Unload.
When the congestion of incoming
goods was at its height, some OF the
local wholesalers and retailers, who
had goods in the cars on the tracks,
were allowed to 60 to the yards and
unload the cars themselves, drawing
the goods directly to the stores in
stead Of waiting until il could be
handled through the freight house IN
the regular way.
Individual complaints of the job
bers and retailers were usually ans
wered in this way, by switching the
car to a convenient siding, opening
the door, and letting the complainant
unload his own goods.

The secod group OF the national

I Mr.. Kennedy. This contest has had
attention throughout the country and
I ii is no secret within democratic inner
circles that Senator Hitchcock has
been under FIRE OF the most whitening
kind. Senator Hitchcock's effort to
attach himself to the administration
after his record Of opposition on vari-
GUS measures, has kept him very busy.
He has failed to declare himself
openly either for wet or dry, thereby
. relying on the wet vote and has
truckled in other quarters for vote
getting purposes. The recent expose

the Swedish American vote has given
the senator another setback and
