NO SURPLUS LEATHER.


j. "A. Sweeney Of Chicago, a
prominent leather buyer and
shoe expert who is at present
in Winona, yesterday condemned
the numerous printed articles
which attempt to show that tre-
mendous stocks of hides and
skins and leather have accum-
ulated in the United States and
that there is a mercenary idea
in holding them for high prices,
says The Winona Independent.
He states that the plain fact OF
the matter is that leather is not
an over supply for the reason
that the tanners determined not
| to crowd their stocks with over
supply when shoe manufacture
ers were not willing to buy
leather.
There is a considerable sur
plus Of hides, he said, but it is
not held out of the market for
high prices. The holders of both
imported and domestic hides
would be glad to sell if buyers
would come forward SO that this
far the lowering of prices has
| had the effect Of causing buyers
ito hold off for further declines.
Mr. Sweeney also explains
| that the surplus Of hides is due
| to war beef. It also caused the
shutting off Of all the principal
ports Of Europe so that hides
and leather could go only to
English and American ports,
therefore causing a temporary
Hull in the markets. Thousands
lof cattle are at present being
slaughtered to feed the vast
numbers Of soldiers already at
the front and in various can
tonments through the country.
It will take about sixteen mil
lion pairs Of army shoes to keep
the "Sammies" well shod for a
year, and between five and six
pairs Of shoes a year are used
| in the ordinary service. Some
| times up to twelve pairs are
worn during heavy trench and
field work.

get them. CareleSsness accounts
for many Of the fatalities and
consequently the authorities paid
everyone visit and made sure
that each had q mask. How
ever, the attack did not materi-
alize. The gas may have worse
| effects but it can not smell
| worse than did the mask. It
/ would take deadly poison gas
| to make one wear a mask for
any length Of time. With our
masks and helmets only some
peculiar or distinct physical Pc
culiarities, such as bow legs,
would identify one from anoth-
er.

of about fourteen over a month
ago who accidentally strayed in

home. / can not say that he
came with baggage for all ne
possessed was few clothes and
a large amount of dirt. He won
his way into our affections by
his cheerful ways and through
his willingness to chop wood and
do other work. The other day
the forty men each gave franc
and half towards getting him
some clothing with the result
that he is now an entirely diff
ferent looking chap. As he
started off to the movie show in
full regalia and with few coins
in his jeans ne was perhaps the
happiest boy on earth. He now
has reached the stage where he
enjoys taking baths and brush

that he is a conner. Many a

NATIONAL Sewer
PIPE COMPANY
Hold Annual Meeting Of Directors
and Stockholders Elect
Board for the Ensuing
Year.
BUSINESS IS SATISFACTORY
BUSINESS IS SATISFACTORY

The annual meeting Of the board
OF directors and the stockholders OF
the National Sewer Pipe Company
was held yesterday afternoon at 2
o'clock in Wilson's hall with about
one hundred present. Reports Of the
different oficers were read and APP
proved and a board of directors for
the coming year elected as follows:
C. II. Clifton, H. R. Dodge, w. A.
johnson, w. o. Mcconnell, w. J.
|Z~itterell, "A. E. WomeldorfS E. w.
|Boynton, Ill. Peterson, P. w.
|Hearn.
The meeting was decidedly an en-
thusiastic one and a~nticipations for
1917 far exceed those Of 1916. The
various reports show the concern to
be f%ourishing in all Of its depart
ments. During the past year over
2, 900 cars in shipments were made
from the factory. This number
would have been greatly increased
had it not been for the serious car
shortage which existed. The in
crease in shipments is at least one
third more than for the year 1915.
The labor payroll for the company
now reaches more than $4,000 per
year. This is due to the increase in
wages given the employees Of the
plant by the managers who recog-
nize the proportionate increase in
the cost Of all commodities and have
advanced the pay OF their employees
twelve and a half per cent. There
are now between so and IS persons
upon the payroll of the National
Sewer Pipe Company. which is one
of six such plants in the state.
There is none better than the one
at Webster City and several not as
good in quality of output. In fact,
few sewer pipe factories of the west
can improve on the quality bf tile
put out by the factory in Webster
City. .lLittle dificulty.. has. been ex-
perienced DURING the past year in
securing labor. only during the har-
vesting period, when slight trouble
was experienced.

The factory is now installing new
grinding machinery for the prepara-
ton of clay, for the modelling and
other improvements which will pos
sibly be made this year. A meeting
will be held next Saturday for the
election of officers for the year 1917.

FROM SALES Of
RED CROSS STAMPS
Amount Sent to the Association at
Des Moines-win do Much Good
to Afflicted.

The Webster City representatives
of the Red Cross association of Iowa
today mailed checks to the State As
sociation for the Prevention of Tub
.e~rculosis in Des Moines, for the sum
of $3.50, representing 10000 stamps
sold during the holiday season in
this city.
For three or four years, Mrs. r.
r. Mason has been active in further
ing the interests Of this worthy
cause in this city and each year the
receipts from the sale of the stamps
has mounted. This years sales Is
ahead of previous years, due to the
untiring efforts of the woman who
has worked so faithfully for this
purpose. The Home club assisted
in the sale of the stamps this year
and as usual school children also as
sisted in selling the little red cross
stickers which ARE used to decorate!
Christmas packages.
Great credit is given all who were
interested for their assistance in the
cause and their continued support of
the work is solicited for next year.
In every sizable town in the state
the sale of the stamps has preceded
Christmas and the money thus OBJ
tanned aids some sufferer in his fight
against the White Plague in this
state. This community has surely
done nobly in this phase of missiorl-
airy work and at a time when there
were many other calls for worthy
aid.
