OF the numerous attractive shoe houses

Of the numerous attractive shoe houses
in Minneapolis there is none more at
tractive than the G. R. Kinney Co.
0nc.), which is located at 215-217 4th
St. So, and judging from the almost
constantly crowded condition Of the
store the values offered are appreciated
A glance at the prices will convince
the most skeptical of the bargains to
be found at this store. The highest
priced shoes are $2.98, and this does not
mean reduced quality, but it does mean
fine quality combined with popular
prices. Other great values in shoes for
men, women and children at SO cents,
$1.98 and $2.48 are to be had. These
prices will be maintained as long as
possible, but it must be remembered that
the rising price of leather may force an
increase, so it will be of interest. Take
advantage Of these values now.
The rubber boot line has made big
hit at $1.98 for the knee and $2.48 for
the high boots, and are kept in stock all
the time.

SAFE CONDUCT FOR

Germany Declines to Guarantee
American Relief Ships
Against Attack.

Germany has refused to guarantee
vessels Des Moines and Caesar, which
are now at Alexandria, Egypt, If sent
to Asia Minor laden with supplies
destined for the destitute Syrians and
Armenians. 1t was expected that
when they had performed this mis-
sion of mercy the warships would
bring out of Turkey about 1000
Americans now assembled at Beirut.
A few days ago the United States
Government informed the Turkish in
effect that it desired assurances from
Germany that the cruiser Des Moines
and the collier Caesar would not be
molested II they were authorized to
proceed to Jaffa, where they were to
unload their relief supplies; thence
to Beirut, to take on board the Amer
lean refugees.
1t was learned from an unques-
toned diplomatic authority that Ger
many had replied to the inquiries OF
the Turkish government, asserting
that II could not guarantee the safety
of the Des Moines and Caesar from
either submarine attacks or from
mines, but that it had instructed its
submarine commanders not to attack
those vessels.
It was also stated that Turkey
would not promise to furnish pilots
for the American naval vessels II
they entered Turkish waters, but
would deal with the situation as II
might exist after its waters had been
entered.

FOOD SUBSTITUTION OLD
Officials Say Idea Is s'InterestIne But
Not New.

Suggestions by Washington grocers
that housewives adopt substitutes for
potatoes, onions, and other high
priced foodstuffs are interesting but
not new, according to officials of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, who are
Investigating the cost of living in the
National Capital.
Six weeks ago, when the inquiry
into the living cost here began. house
wives were asked If soaring prices
had necessitated any -curtailment of
their former modes of housekeeping
and the preparation of foods.
In practically all of the schedules
Of income and expenditures thus far
received the housewives have inform
ed the bureau that they have had to
adopt substitutes for higher priced
foods, buy in smaller quantities, and
save the pennies.
The information along the lines of
substituting cheaper foods, palatably
and tastefully prepared, is regarded
as of such value by the bureau off,
cials that they probably will compile
a booklet filled with these ideas for
free distribution.

NO SHARP RISE IN
FOOD PRICES SEEN
Ample Supplies on Hand or In
Sight for Inaugural Crowd.
Eggs. Cheaper.

Stored away in the pantries and
storage quarters of many of the big
Washington hotels today are sufi-

tion of perishable goods, to food thou
sands who will visit the city for the
inaugural ceremonies, IL became
known today, and dealers are antici-
pating no sharp advance in prices be-
cause of the crowds.
Consignments from those sections
from which the Capital draws the
principal part of its food supply are
coming in hourly. and 1t is believed
that by the time the crowd of visitors
reaches its height, sufficient supplies
will be on hand to meet the okmand.
Egg Prices Tumble.
Dealers said today the market has
been slower this week than for sew
eral weeks. No reason other than
that housewives are not, buying as
much as before the recent food scare
is given for the dull market.
Eggs today dropped to 80 cents a
dozen, wholesale, for the best grade,
and 3S cents dozen FOR Southern
eggs. Yesterdays price of 40 cents
was thought by dealers to be sta
tionary for a day or two.
The rest of the market shows no
change except in the price OF live
calves. these being quoted at from
121h to 13 cents a pound. Yesterdays
price was from Is to 1914 cents.
Rushing to Market.
Nearby producers, with supplies in
storage. seeing a golden opportunity
to unload at high prices. are said by
several dealers to have rushed large
quantities Of potatoes and onions to
the market here. The arrival of sew
eral consignments in quantity. forced
the price down. The supply exceeded
the demand for the first time in sew
eral weeks.
Arrival OF down-river boats bearing
accumulated supplies OF eggs is said
to be responsible for the reduction
in the price of eggs. 1t is believed
that when the fact of the river being
open became known among the poul-
trymen down the river. they brought
thousands OF eggs to river landings to
be shipped to this city. These were

Iowa City, Aug. 1O.-Two alleged
burglars, calling themselves Taylor and
Fulton, were caught while preparing
to come to Iowa City in an automobile
from West Liberty, where they were
held by Marshal John Smith on the
charge of robbing the Milan hotel, DR.,
Lester A. Royal and DR.. H. Knott. All
three citizens discovered their losses
about the same time, DR.. Royal giving
the other men warning Immediately
after he discovered that his safe had
been opened. The thieves made poor
hauls, however, getting but $50 in all.
They arranged with Landlord Milan TO
take them in his auto to Iowa City
of course, before he learned that he
had been robbed. He was about to
start to Iowa City when the crime at
DR.. Royals office was announced. AT
once the two strangers, who said they
came from Des Moines, were placed
under arrest. They were bound over
to the grand jury, charged with break
ing and entering, and have been taken
to the county Jail in Muscatine.

vital Importance to, a position Of all
most negligible Importance. with the
advent of the gasolene propelled We
hicle, farmers in country communities
virtually become residents Of the SUBJ
urbs of their trading town and the
existence of the district school house
as a community OF social, religious,

This is the belief Of Professor Glenn
N. Merry, head Of the state universitys
public speaking department, who, by
an appointment from Governor Hard
Ing, will have charge OF the very inn
portant public speaking campaign in
Iowa in the interests of the war.
Professor Merry pays tribute to the
old fashioned literary societies. He
points out that Lincoln and Harrison
and numerous other presidents and
statesmen, received their early ora
torical training in these institutions.
They developed and trained speakers
to a remarkable degree. he says.
The former interest Of Iowans in
this work is accounted for by Profess
sor Merry in two ways. In the first
place, the lyceum formed the only So
cial avenue for the farmers OF COM
munities before the day Of the auto
mobile and good roads. In addition to
this, there was desire on the part OF
most farmers to "be something more
than a farmer" Law and medicine

they practiced public speaking as .
means Of reaching their goal.

COUNTY AGENTS GIVE
GREAT SERVICE TOWARD
INCREASED FOOD SUPPLY

That the county agents in Iowa have
been on the job the past year and
have fully met their responsibility IN
helping increase fool production dur
ing this war crisis, is revealed n the
annual report Of the state county
agent leader, ]. w. Coverdale at Iowa
State College.
Iowa county agents, twenty-nine IN
number, including one home demon
stration agent, from July. 1916, to July
1917, reached 100000 people thru vari-
Gus lines Of work. The twenty-nlne
agents made $4,000 farm visits, con
Quoted 10000 meetings and demonstra-
tons these attended by $4,000 per-
sons; had $4,000 calls; wrote fo'ooo
letters and put across 103 distinct pro-
jects toward the establishment OF pet
ter farming.
The work accomplished by each
agent the past year shows real rec
ord of accomplishment. Each county
agent spent an average OF ~ days III
the field and ninety-one days N tne
office; made $40 farm visits; had l,l'o
calls: wrote 2,129 letters; conducted
25a demonstrations and meetings anu
reached more than $1,000 persons.
The most important war project car
ried out has been the food conserva-
ton campaign launched in May by the
agricultural extension department az
Iowa State College as war emergency
campaign. In the counties with county
agents total of more than 700 demon, ,
strations were held, which reacneo
A., 900 people. Many Of the agents re-
port this as one Of the best pro1ec1s
ever carried out in the county.
Another war emergency measure
was the farm labor project Every
agent now has labor bureaus organ
lied in the county to handle the farm
labor situation. A complete summary
Of labor placed is not yet available
but almost every agent reports
steady call for farm help. with prlac-
tically every request filled.
In the volunteer food producers
campaign. thru the cooperation OF the
county agents, more than 5000 people
have been enlisted in the organized
counties to do some phase OF 1000 pro-
duction work this year.
