STYLES in 4adies 9cctwear

Since the government has taken a
hand in our footwear, or in the manu-.
facture of it, we are likely to feel, be.
fore the winter is over, a radical
change in shoes. For the present
there is not noticeable restriction in
leather, for the reason that the boot
makers had laid in a formidable sup.
ply in anticipation of the scarcity;
and also because the American army
could not march very far on the soft
kids which are used in fashioning
women's shoes. This supply is rapid
ly diminishing, however, and as there
| is not an unlimited amount in view,
prices have begun to soar, gradually
but surely.
Colors will for the most part be con.
fined to black, white, tan and grey,
and the majority of the winter shoes
will have cloth tops. This parsimony
in colors as to tops means nothing
but cooperation on the part of the
ultimate consumer, and not a slump
in the cut or designing of shoes. In
deed the American women have been
too long accustomed to wearing boots
made over the best and most attract
i've last that could be made, and the
manufacturers know full well that
they must continue to use the most
distinctive designing and the best
workmanship, even should the shoe
be constructed entirely of cloth with
a mere fractional top piece of leather

which is the last word in lasts; in
fact vamps are longer and simmer
than ever before, and the choice is
about even as to size and shape Of
heels. Military or Cuban heels go
their sure footed and practical way
undisturbed by their more frivolous
French heeled sisters. Yet as many
French as Cubans click their way in

year, from patriotic as well as from
stylish motives. Grey or taupe spats

GRENADE CONTESTS

Throwing hand grenades has become
a favorite sport among French infan-
trymen and its practice is greatly en-
couraged by the officers. Records are
kept and competitions arranged fire.
quently among the men OF the various
units and rivalry in skill has reached
q high point. A good grenadier must
be strong, accurate and quick. 1t has
been found by the instructors that any
man of normal physical capacity may
fulfill these conditions.
The leading promoter of efficiency
in hand grenade throwing in the
French army is a naval man, Lieut..
Hebert, who even before the war was
well known throughout France as an
expert on athletics. In fact, it was
he who founded the university of ath-
etics in the vicinity of Rheims. where
boys were scientifically trained in all
branches Of sports.
Lieut.. Hebert has compiled records
of long throws. Among them are
many reports of remarkable ones.

being arranged for soldiers OF all the
allied armies.

little more than it accomplished by
its interdict against the freedom of

which we rebelled when we went in
to this war? Look at the condition of
the American farmer in the latter
part Of 1914 and the first half of 1918
and see.
When the war broke out. through
surprise and panic we partially gave
up for a while the use OF the sea as
a highway. And the farmers of
America faced ruin. / know an Iowa
farmer who sold his 1914 crop Of 25e
900 bushels OF wheat for seventy cents
bushel Farmers IN the south sold
their cotton for half the cost OF pro
ducing It. All this time those por-

II never returned for tho farmers OF
those nations which remained cut on
from ocean traffic.
Take the case OF Australia. There
three crops have remained unsold on
the farms. No ships could be spared
to make the long voyage TO Australia
So In spite Of the efforts Of the Gov
ernment TO save the farmers from
ruin, grain has rotted In the open.
Millions OF tons have been lost for
lack Of a market.
Such conditiOps spell irretrievabls
disaster. Such conditions would have

The farmer everywhere loves
peace. The American farmer espe-
cially loves peace. Since the dawn OF
history, the farmer has been the man
who suffered most from war. All that
he possesses lies out of doors in plain
sight and is spoil of war-his house,
his grain, his livestock. The flames
that light the skies in the rear Of
every invading army are consuming
the things that yesterday represented
his life work, and the life labors OF
past generations of farmers.
Everywhere the farmer is a warrior
when war is the only thing which viii
make and keep him free. He cannot
rally to the colors as quickly as can
the dwellers in the cities. because 1t
takes longer 10 send TO the farms the
call to arms. It takes longer to call
the farmers from the fields than the
city dwellers from the shops. Many
do not hear the first blast Of the
trumpet. Others do not at first under
stand its meaning because they have
not had the time TO talk the matter
over with their acauaintances. Instead
Of reading half a dozen extras a day,
the farmer may read weekly papers
only. He must have more time In a
sudden emergency 70 make up his
mind.
Il is impossible 20 set the farmers
Of the United States on FIRE by means
of any sudden sDsrk Of rumor: But
when they do ignite. they burn with
a slow. hot FIRE which nothing can put
out. They are sometimes the last TO
heat up; but they stay hot. In long
fght they are always found sturdily
carrying the battle across No-Man's
land in the last grim struggle. The
American farmer viii give all that he
has and all that he is 70 win this
