America, the richest country in the
world, is on the verge of a famine in
leather.
The demand made upon US by the war
ring nations has acted like a mighty sue
ton, drawing leather from the United
States in staggering quantities For mil
lions of soldiers shoes were needed that
could be worn on the march, in the trench
and in the assault. The supply had to be
constantly replenished, because a pair Of
shoes seldom endures the rough wear of
the infantrYman more than thirty days;
it often happens that he needs TWO pairs
in this time!
In this way the country has gradually
been stripped Of its leather until there is
an alarming shortage, causing tremen-
dous rise in prices
And you've already had foretaste Of
this in the greatly increased cost of your
last pair of shoes, if you bought recently;
and before summer is over the prices will
be nearly DOUBLE that of LAST sum-
mer.
Realizing that something must be done
toward preparing the public for the

shock that is to come, manufacturers and
retailers are announcing in the magazines
and newspapers that it is no longer pos
sible for them to sell good shoe at $500
and that one must be prepared to pay

It wouldn't be so bad if prices stopped
there-but they're going HIGHER and
no power on earth can stay further rise.
We are spending large sum Of our
money through more than 400 news
papers, doing OUR part in warning the
public of what is happening. We saw this
thing coming over year ago-and We
laid pipes THEN and THERE, by con-
tracing late in 1915 for supply large
enough to carry US to the middle of 1917.
We placed orders for over ELEVEN MIL

and in process of manufacture nearly
THREE MILLION PAIRS OF SHOES!

A LABOR MISSION TO RUSSIA
Union Men to Be Sent by President
Wilson to Combat German
Propaganda.

washington, Sept. 19.-President
Wilson is personally pressing for
prompt adjustment of the shipyards
strikes on thesWestern coast, and will
soon sanction dispatch Of q labor com
mission to Russia to clarity this coun-
try's attitude toward the war
Both steps were regarded necessary,
because the labor unrest in the West
is being used, according to diplomatic
reports, to create dissatisfaction with
the war among laborers in Russia,
The labor delegation to be sent will
include representatives from different
unions-miners, munitions makers
etc. Each class will go out among
Russian workers engaged in similar
organizations and spread the gospel
Of unanimity and a common cause tc
fight the war to a successful conclu
sion. All will work to one purpose
to correct the reports circulated in
Russia that 'the United States is nc
democracy, else her working people
would not be fighting the govern
ment." The idea was fayorably acted
upon by labor representatives at the
recent convention Of the American AL
lance for Labor and Democracy a

4 PLOT IN PHILIPPINES
German Counsel Tried to Foster An
l~nsurrection in the Islands,
Says Washington.

Washington. Sept. 1S.-That Ger
mar intrigue has stretched out its
talons into the Philippine Islands and
sought to create insurTection there was
learned today.
Conrad Andre. German vice consul
for Cebu, Hoilo and other islands, was
detained on a charge Of trying to
create a disturbance which was in
reality an insurrection.
Taken to Manila to escape an angry
mob, Andre was held there for some
time and then released for want OF
positive evidence, although he is still
Under careful government watch.
Andre surrounded himself with sew
eral Filipinos and sought TO gain
strength for the %insurrection by prom
|sing the Filipinos among othsr things
any white woman in Cebu they wanted
they would rise against the Ameri
cans. This was last April, shortly af'
ter the United States entered the war.
When this angle Of the situation be
came known the residents Of Cebu
we're so incensed that there was talk
of iynching and Andre had to be hur
rlcd out OF town to escape violence.

PAID FOR DRAFT EXEMPTION
The Federal Authorities Believe They
Have Discovered a Plot in
Buchanan County.

A confession declared to have been
made to federal authorities that he
had accepted several hundred dollars
to use-in efforts to obtain exemption
from the draft of a Buchanan county
farmer, made by Leslie E. Clark, a
deputy sheriff, has started a rigid in
vestigation Of the operation of the Sc
lective draft boards in st. Joseph. The
secret service men found $3.50 in a
tin locker in the county jail, where
Clark had told them 1t was, and Clark
has been dismissed by Sheriff A. f..
Isaacson. Clark has not been arrest
ed, but it Is believed he IS under sur
yeillance.
Whether the statement of Clark ac-
cuses members of the Buchanan coun-
ty exemption board, federal officers
refuse to say. They intimated that
the investigation, which is being made,
and which will be carried forward
through the federal grand jury to be
convened there shortly, would reveal
startling facts concerning draft frauds.
The man whose exemption was
sought when the money was handed
over to Clark was Enoch Elijah Shep-
herd, son Of James Shepherd, a rich
farmer living near Lake Contrary.
He was rejected for physical reasons
after examination by DR.. Forrest
Thomas, coroner, and DR.. e. L Gard.
ner of Rushyille, the county boards
other physician.
Later, when the federal agents OBJ
tanned information about Clark and
the money, Shepherd was taken tC
Kansas City and examined by DR.
Frank Matthews of Liberty, Mo, who
passed him. Matthews said Shepherd
was far from a perfect specimen, buI
that he would make an acceptable
soldier.
Sheriff Iaacson is chairman Of the
county board. Joseph e. Hunt, county
clerk, and Forrest Thomas, coroner
are the other town members. DIR
Thomas is the member who examines
the men physically. When he rejects
a man another examination is made
by DR.. e. H. Gardner Of Rushyille.

SLAV REPUBLIC PROCLAIMED
Affairs Of State Entrusted TO a cabi

official Statement.

%Petrograd, Sept. 17.-Russia has
been proclaimed a republic. The pro

proclamation. dated September IA.

is the danger threatening the fate Of
the fatherland and its freedom.
Holding 1t necessary 10 put an end
to the external indefiniteness of the

the unanimous and %rapturous approval
Of the republican idea expressed at

constitutional organization, according
to which the Russian state is ruled, is
a republican organization and it here
by proclaims the Russian republic.

Yaroudni, Minister OF Justice.
(The title minister and president

The provisional government today
announced that all the affairs of state
