More Hides-Higher Shoe Prices

Have you been paying more for shoes? We think you
have, ~
Says F. E. White vice president of Armour e. Co.
The price OF hides is not responsible for the high price
According to the big packers and Attorney Francis
Heney, who is after them:
The quantity Of hides stored by the five large Chicago
packers increased 45 cent since early 1916 Prices
increased from 70 to 100 per cent The number of cattle
Killed increased % cent in July last year Embargoes
cut off foreign trade and imports from Argentine increased
the hide supply in the United States nevertheless Swift
Co. alone sold 20 cent hides during 1917 than
in the previous year.
You fool all the people of the time and some
OF them much of the time but occasionally you can't fool
any of them any of the time

WHO'S LOONY NOW?"

How reprehensibei
But the Alliance Of those Fnrners'
Is asked 70 the whole world from the Huns.
But that's quite sensible.
DO you remember how swung fists

How reprehensible!
And now their plans at which made such faces
Become our governmental commonplace:
Oh. yes quite sensiblel
DO you remember that fool Greenback
Who wanted money easier TO got7
How reprehensiblel
And have the Federal Banking scheme
Which helps people realize that dream.
And think II sensible.
DO you remember Socialists and such
who tried to get this government "n Dutnh-r
How rcprehensible
BY making it--and us-assume control
or railroads. Manufactures food and coal7
Eyes quite sensible!
DO you remember how people tried
To have the hands Of Labor unfed7
How rcprehenAble!
And try 20 Unonze democracy
Against the Teuton "scabs" who serve Autocacy
And find II sensible.
Well well. the way such foolish folk
Shows how the human mind is prone 10
How reprehensible!

And-seeming1y the whole worlds ioony now!
