Shoes and Leather

We who had rot given the subject much considera- ton thought that the higher prices of shoes had suited from the growing scarcity and higher prices of leather. But learn from Texas paper, printed in a part of the state where the hide market is matter of interest that the prices hides falling and it suggests that "if hides continue to go down and shoes to go up, it will pay the shoe lecturers to make shoes out of leather"
 Perhaps have been mistaken all along and that shoes have increased in price chiefly because sumers have more and more insisted on luxurious footwear. Lots of who raised go bare footed half the year and be content with air quality of "brogans thc other half have learned to demand the softest and most delicate of feathers in their shoes along with considerable style.
 Women, of scoQrse have gone the limit of extrava- gance in fancy feathers and elegant workmanship, especially since the short skirts in and made the feminine foot ultra prominent But there still very good shoes sale at So pair and less, better shoes than the mothers of the women of this generation wore We would remark here that the shortening of the skirts if that undertaken a measure of economy. and sometimes doubt that, failed of it's purpose. Who could have foreseen what effect that abbreviation was going to have the prices of shoes?
 Generally, think the higher cost of living is matter with which deal individually Folks buy good clothes for less than fancy clothes cost and unless supposes he has the right to kick the high cost of luxuries, he has. in fact not much to kick at. The whole range of ones expenses may be thus calculated.
 The family which confines itself mostly to plain and wholesome foods, well cooked and none wasted get along with about the same expenditure formerly. Of course some things and some necessary things cost but taking them altogether, had been spelling ourselves before the stEuck We the victims of exravagant habits rather than of high prices.

REMEMBERS

Early in the the great writers and poets of the Allied nations joined in combating, with all the inspiration of the of liberty, the campaigns abroad In this effort literature has made worthy contribution to the battle for civilization It re-

By speaking the universal language which art alone possesses he has made the clear those who cannot read. Because of this genius for arousing emotions he is the for and behind the battle-line. He is truly main spring of our armed forces

A[FACTOROF
 UTMOST IMPORT IN WINNING WAR

Ever since man has employed metal in his weapons of war, the forge has played an important part in history, but never before were there such gigantic forge fires as those of today in Pittsburgh, Bethlehem and other American manufacturing cities. There the great furnace fires are kept fam ing and roaring all day and night that the guns and shells so necessary to the safety and success of our men in France may be supplied. These great fires that consume millions and mill lions of tons of coal are the liberty fires of today. It is the patriotic duty of every American man and woman to do all in his or her power to conserve the available coal supply for these fires. Every bucket of coal saved at the domestic fireside is bucket of coal heaped on the fires of liberty.
 The United States fuel administra- tion has urged upon the American people the necessity for conserving ccal and has asked that its use be en- tirely dispensed with where possible. This request if complied with, will strengthen our country in two vitally important ways: First, it will make more certain the supply of coal needed to manufacture munitions; second, it will relieve the railroads of the strain of moving coal for domestic use when tlGre are other and more important things for them to apply their equip ment to for the successful prosecution of the war.
 Here in the western part of the coun 1 try the use of coal is particularly seri- . ous, for it has to be brought to us oveI many hundreds of miles from Utah and Wyoming. Every effort should be | made to curtail the use of coal. We have available supplies of wood and | oil, and these should be used in prefer ence to coal wherever possible. Oi ! heaters should be more generally used
 for they supply an excellent, steady
 heat at low cost and keep the house
 comfortable in cold weather without
 recourse to the use of coal so vital tC

Paris, Sept. 27.-Devilish inventions,
every one a hidden engine of death
and typical of HUN frightfulness, are
left behind by the Germans every time

Traps and SnareS are everywhere
as the Americans and their allies
penetrate the German lines.
Commonest is the "gin"-a board
set horizontally at the entrance to the

a seat. But the moment one sits down
the board yields a fraction of all inch
just enough for nail, hidden at
the other end. to scratch charge Of
explosives and set it off.
Another trap is board apparently
thrown carelessly across culvert as
foot bridge. But the moment one
steps on it the hting tits and two
grenades, one connected with each end
of the board, explode.
,Cunningly made devices have, also
been discovered for the setting off of
dynamite hidden under floors, behind
walls and above ceilings of dugouts.
A football on the floor and pressure
against the wall, by leaning, usually
cause the contact of wires that drop
bombs from above or spray death
from the sides or underfoot.
Wires have also been found connect
ed with helmets, rifles or other arti-
cles, seemingly scattered carelessly
about dugout-and each wire so con-
nected as to set oc enough bombs

ECHOES FROM THE PAST

The city of Acre has been captured by the Brit
ish forces operating in Palestine under the COM
mand Of General Aenby. From the standpoint of
the reader who is interested chiefly in following
the events of the war in order that he may esti-
mate the bearing which they may have on each
other the statement has some military signific-
ance, for, while the neighboring town, Haifa, has
taken the place once occupied by Acre as center,
the occupation of that general territory by the
British marks an important step in their rapid
advance through northern Palestine, and clinches
more firmly their hold on the district east of the
Mediterranean.
But the advance of the British through Palestine
brings to attention each day the names Of places

FACTS REGARDING FARGO SPEECH OF
MILLS

Governor Lynn j. Frazier is apparently deathly
afraid of riots because, according to reports when
the Fargo War organization requested the Grand
theater not to permit Walter Thomas Mills to
speak there on Sunday night, the governor
Telegraphed to Mayor Alex Stern;
Telegraphed to States Attorney Fowler;
Telegraphed to Sheriff Andrew M. Ross;
Telegraphed to the manager of the theater;
And then telephoned Sheriff Ross
Insisting that protection be given to this man
Mills. a.:
The action of the Fargo War organization was
taken only for one and that was because, as
we understand it, the members as patriotic citizens
deplored the fact that man who is now under ar
rest for espionage, should be permitted to speak in
the city of Fargo or anywhere else in the state of
North Dakota.
Mills, the friend of Kate Richards OHare, did
not speak at the Grand theater but he did talk in
the open air.
The Courier-News in reporting the meeting
made this statement:
"But the Mills meeting was held, not in the
Grand but from the balcony of the postoffice,
the Federal building, with the United States
Attorney Hildreth standing near him and
frequently dppIduUlllS VIC pau 1OCAC cuuACoo
of Walter Thomas Mls.'
In reply to this garbling of the facts by the Non
partisan daily, District Attorney Hildreth has
made the following remarks:
ut is a shameful Misrepresentation of the
facts.
81 neither applauded or gave the slightest
indication of applauding. was there because
I~cOnsidered it my duty to be there as gov
eminent official, and also had two secret
service men in the crowd with orders to take
down any statements of seditious nature.
81 did, however, raise my hand when Mr..
Mills asked those who expected to buy bonds
in the Fourth drive to raise their hands,
own $4,000 worth of government securities !
and expect to buy more. No good American
would have done differently.
81 hold charges against Mills for alleged
seditious statements made in an address in
Island park here last summer. These charges
will be among the first presented to the feder-
al grand jury when it reconvenes here October
31-Mandan Pioneer.
