lied in Greenwood was increased by
four, that many young men having
placed their names to the enlistment
roll. Captain Albert C. Metts and
Mr.. Harry Hulen, who have been the
most interested in the. organization
of the Battery are much pleased with
the progress being made. Plans are
being formulated for a whirlwind
campaign to secure the other enlist
ments necessary before the Battery
can be mustered in.
The members already secured are
all working for the Battery and it is
through their efforts chiefly that the
additional members have been Sc
cured.
The desire to hasten enlistments is
brought about by the situation now
existing at Washington. When the
Battery is mustered in equipment for
the organization will be shipped out
from Philadelphia. Should the gov
ernment call for volunteers prior to
the mastering in of the Battery the
equipment now ready for the Battery
would be given to the first Battery
organized and this Battery would be
delayed il. getting its equipment.

Rome, March 2-An investigation
Of the shoe industry has revealed that
the retail stores have been flooded
with footwear made of vanished
cloth, paper soles, sold to women and
children at prices varying from S. to
$40.
One dissatisfied customer lodged
a complaint of fraud against the sell
Ter Of "shoes," whereupon the asso-
citation of shoe dealers voted to close
up their shops and NOT sell any more
cloth and paper until the public had
digested their wrath.
The newspaper comment has been
to the effect that, since sole leather
is lacking for the making Of sandals,
Of the old Roman type, the public
must either wear old shoes bought be-
fore the war and made of real leather
or else return to the wooden shoe o{
