The Cavalier County Republican
quotes a travelling man who re-
fused TO be interviewed" but we'll
overlook this evidence of Irish an
cestry because of the timeliness Of
the interview. which follows:
Il came to this country from
Germany when was a boy" said
travelling man yesterday who
refused to be interviewed. Il am
proud of the Germans as a peo-

The Williston Herald makes the
local cobbler happy with this edt-
torial this week:
The opening of school this fall
emphasized to many a head of q
family the increase in the price
of shoes-which Is by no means
confined to the footgear of the
youngsters. This IL one Of the
anomalies Of wartime. Since the
war began the slaughter Of cat
tie in this country and South
America has increased nv more
than 100000 head; in. the
United States alone 100000
more cattle have been raised in
the three years since August,
1914 than I'm the three years
previous. Submarine warfare has
caused the flow Of, South Amer
lean hides to Europe to be div
erted to American ports; and
imports of hides via the Pacific
have also increased. Yet the
price of shoes shows no sign OF
coming down or even Of remain
ing stationary. Shoes are as
necessary as bread; and If the
price OF bread can be regulated,
why not the price OF shoes?
