Trench Shoe 4 SoleS Thick.

According to the Government hide
and leather control board the chief
use to which leather is being put at
present is for the Pershing trench
shoe. Beginning August there will
be delivered one and one-half million
pairs of PcrShing trench shoes every
month. Each pair of these shoes
weighs five and one hall pounds.
The shoes are heavier than those
used by the armies of Great Britain
or France. They are composed OF
soles about three-quarters of an inch
thick, made of four solcs, or four
thickncsses of leather. The sole and
heel are completely studded with IL
on halls. Affixed to each heel and
sole are iron plates so that the sol
dicr is wearing out the metal all the
time instead of the leather. After
these metal nails and plates wear out
the shoes are exchanged for new ones
while the old ones are being restudded
and replatcd to be worn again. The
uppers of these shoes are the finest
and heaviest that can be made.
The largest use of leather outside
of that set aside for the Pershing
trench, or possibly larger, is for har-
ness, for which there is tremendous
demand. 1t is stated that the Gov
ernmcnt expects, within GO days, to
have all the black harness leather it
requires; as for russet harness leather
large quantities are still required.
The tanners of the United States are
en- ndeavoring to supply this demand
for russet harness leather, which un-
questionably will be met in time.
Army officers are paying special at
tention to the manufacture and quail
ity of stirrup straps for cavalry and
artillery horses. They are making
the most minute inspection of every
stirrup strap, because if one breaks
it means almost certain death to the
rider. The strap is made of russell
leather and must be of the finest
quality and as strong as it is possible
to turn it out.

In fact, dripping, lo1', used in place OF
butter on bread by the poor OF Great
Britain, is now actually served spread
on slices of bread at popular London
restaurants corresponding to Child's
restaurants in American cities.
Every drop Of fat which can posi-
bly, be spared goes for the manu-
facture Of glycerine for munitions.
Blitain's care and frugality in this re-
spect are an example to other counr
tries.
Canadian military camps in Eng
land are models in this saving OF
grease Every ounce from the slop
tins, every drop of the dshwater is
strained and skinned. The purified
fat is used over again for food; the
residue sent to munitiOn factories.

ne has actually seen the German sol
liers guarding the prison camp pick
ing up tins which the British and Cam

away and licking the grease off them.
1t Is because of the crying need
overseas for fat, both for factory and

Flour And Feed Price Fixed.
Every Mill Given Sales Price
For Season of 1913 and 1919.

For the season of 1888, the Food
Administration has determined to fix the
nrice of -four and of wheat mill feeds at
a definite figure for each mill, instead OF
following the plan adopted last year OF
fixing the miller's profit over and above
the cost of wheat.
Under this new system every mill IN
the United States will be given price
at which it must sell its flour and mill
feed. These prices represent the selling
prices for cash, at the mill, In carload
lots, in bulk, i. e., without barrels or
sacks. and are known as the basic price
for that particular mill. Every miller is
requested to post his basic prices in the
various establishments controlled by him.
In Baltimore city this basic price for
flour is approximately $lO.56, and the
basic price for mill feed is approximate
ly $3o.9l.
In addition to these carload prices, the
miller is allowed to charge certain addl-
tional sums for sales of less than car
loads or for articles packed in barrels or
other containers.
In flour the standard form of package
is the 90 pound cotton sack. and the mil
ler is therefore allowed to addto his bulk
price the cost of two 9S pound cotton
sacks for each barrelof -four. The price
of sacks must be posted by him, along
with his price schedule, in his mill or
other place of business.
If flour is not packedi in SO pound sacks,
but in some other type of container, the
miller is allowed to add or substract from
his price for flour in SO pound sacks
definite sum for each type of package
which is set forth in U. S. Food Ad-
ministration schedule.
In the sale of wheat mill feeds the
miller is allowed to charge for sacks or
other containers only the actual cost to
him and is required to exhibit such cost
upon the bill.
Where the farmer brings his wheat to
the mill to be ground, the miller is en-
titled to charge thirty-five cents for each
sixty pounds of clean wheat so received
and ground, and is required to return to
the farmer both the -four and the wheat
mill feed to a total of ffty-nine pounds
pounds, divided according to a schedule
which the miller has been furnished by
the Food Administration and which he
will exhibit to the farmer on demand.
If, however the wheat is soft wheat, the
total amount returned is only required to
be fifty eight pounds.
If the farmer prefers to have wheat
taken in exchange for his milling and the
miller is willing to make the transaction
the proper amount to be taken is given
by the following table, where the first
column is the price of wheat, the second
column the number of pounds of wheat
taken out of each sixty by the miller,
and the third column the total number
of pounds of -four and feed returned to
the farmer so that for two-dollar-and
twenty-cent wheat, for example, the
farmer bringing in bushel would re-
ceive from the miller the result of grind
ing 81 ITO pounds.
